Chapter 2: Blackout
The next morning, Tommy woke up and threw his arm on the other side of the bed. He didn't feel anything and opened his eyes to find out it was empty. He sighed and ran a hand through his dark hair. Even after four years he wasn't used to not having Jude beside him. Reluctantly, he got out of bed slowly when he realized it was freezing. He put a blanket around him and turned on the T.V. to check the weather reports. It wasn't a clear picture but he could still here well.
"The blizzard is finally hitting Toronto," the anchorman said. "The winds are picking up and are now up to 70 miles. The temperature has dropped 20 degrees, and it looks like it's going to keep dropping. On that note, the schools will be closed today due to the snow."
"Yes!" A voice squealed. Tommy looked at the door and saw Jada running from the doorway. He laughed and picked her up. "I have no school! Can I go outside dad? Please!"
"I don't think so honey," Tommy chuckled. "It's freezing out there."
"Oh, dad, please," Jada said waving her hand. "I like the cold. Anyway, it's not like I'm going to be alone. I'm going to call Liz and Brianna, to come over, if that's ok with you."
Tommy smiled and nodded. Jada squealed again and dropped herself down to the floor. She went to the phone and called her friends. "News just in," the anchorman came back on after the commercial break. "The blizzard is coming faster than we thought. The winds are up to 85, and the temperature is still dropping a deadly degree. We advise everyone to get insideā¦"
The T.V. suddenly shut off and the whole house went black. Tommy quickly put on pair of sweats and a sweater and looked for a flashlight in one of his drawers. "Aiden, Jada," he called out as he turned on the flashlight he found and walked out of his bedroom. He saw Aiden walk out of his bedroom and shined the light in his face.
"Wow, dad, watch wear you point that thing," Aiden said shielding his eyes with his hands.
"Sorry," Tommy apologized. "We just had a blackout. Come on; let's go find you're sister."
They walked downstairs and saw Jada walk up to them with a disappointed look on her face. "What's wrong with you?" Aiden asked.
"It's obvious I won't be going anywhere today," Jada said looking at a spot on the wall. She crossed her arms and huffed. Tommy saw her nose scrunch up and chuckled. He kissed the top of her head and went to REC room to look for candles. Suddenly, he heard Jada scream and a huge burst. "Jada!" Tommy heard Aiden yell.
He hurriedly ran through the house and saw the kitchen window was busted open. Aiden quickly went to Jada and protected her from the broken glass with his own body. Tommy ran to the window and shut it. He instructed his daughter to stay in the living room while he and Aiden went to get some tools.
