Summer and Boyd's hope was slowly fading as they began to relise that if help didn't come soon then… well it was something that they didn't want to think about.
The rain had stopped but the water wasn't going anywhere. It hung around them, surrounding them, suffocating them. They were still on top of the kitchen bench but their heads were now periously close to the celling.
Boyd was thinking back to, what he supposed, was about an hour ago, when he had sent sky a text message. At the time the rain was pounding and the water rising and he wasn't sure what was going to happen. He sent her a message telling her that he loved her no matter what. And right now, he felt that more than ever.
"Here, have some food," urged serena as Sky sat on a matress on the floor of the refuge center.
"Thanks but im not hungry," replied sky.
"Sky, you have to eat! You'll be no good to Boyd if you starve yourself to death!"
"Serena I'm not hungry. I just want to be alone for a while, ok."
"Ok, I'll go."
And with that, Serena walked away.
"Hey, Gary. Have you been into this house yet?"
"Nah I haven't. You'd better have a look and see if anyone's in there."
"Alright, wait here with the boat and I'll be back in a minute."
Boyd had thought he'd heard someone outside but had dismised the thought as his mind playing tricks on him. The oxygen level in the room was now very low and he noticed that summer was finding it hard to breathe.
"It's ok summer. Just take nice and slow breaths. It'll be aright." Encouraged Boyd.
But as he heard more noise, what sounded like rain splattering the roof, he wasn't so sure of what was going to happen…
