Hi guys! Slushy here. Time for the first chapter of my new story! Last I checked, I hit 3k views on A New Start. Thanks so much! I hope this story will do just as well as the last. I'll also be writing in a more proper way this time, like starting a new paragraph with new dialogue, etc. Please bare with me as I get started!
Ali POV
I rushed to the other side of the room, completely out of breath. I was being chased around the room and I was freaking out.
"Oh, no! Please don't hurt me!" I whined. I watched with half-lidded eyes as a dark figure came closer to me as I pressed against the wall. The figure reached forward and tickled my sides and I squealed with laughter.
"I got you!" My boyfriend, Mitch, called out. wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into a hug. "You never win this game. You're absolutely horrible at evading me and finding a good hiding place." He joked.
"Well, boo hoo. Not my fault you're freaking amazing at this game. It isn't fair." I pouted and squirmed out of his firm grasp. Mitch and I had been dating for almost four years now and I was absolutely smitten. We first met when I was eighteen thanks to some awesome circumstances set up by my best friends, Diana and Cathrin. We've basically been inseparable ever since.
Currently, we live up in Montreal, but we planned on moving down to California soon for Mitch to be closer to some of his friends. But, We decided not to. Recently, for some odd reason, there have been tons and tons of reports of earthquakes and tsunamis hitting all over the world. Most coastal areas are in a huge state if distress. So, we've decided to just sit tight until everything calms down.
"Awh, Ali, don't be a big baby. I'm good at hide and capture, don't be such a sore loser!" Mitch chided and plopped down on our couch, patting the seat next to him. "Sit, sit. Lets watch the news and see what else has happened in the last twenty-four hours."
I dropped beside him, curling my legs underneath myself and leaned against his shoulder. He clicked on the T.V. and the news was already on, giving an urgent report. I covered my mouth with my hand, stifling my gasp. California had been hit again with a large earthquake, destroying more of the coast line. The United States and shrunk significantly in the last year due to the big mess. None of the experts knew what was causing the earthquakes or tsunamis, now how to stop them from happening. Everyone was living in a state of fear and stores were always swept clean of food by people who were stocking up. I scooted closer to Mitch and he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"Don't worry, Ali. They'll figure all this stuff out soon. Don't worry over it. Remember, your twenty third birthday is tomorrow! The big two-three. Cheer up!" Mitch said, rocking me from side to side. I giggled and jumped on top of him playfully.
Mitch is right. I don't need to worry. We're together.
Yay, first chapter! :D I decided to use both of the OC submissions I received instead of picking one. I hope you all enjoyed!
Crazy4AMBG: Yeah, they're all about the same age so lets say... twenty-four? I think that's right :o
