After the last tornado, we headed to see 'The Shining' and I walked up with mom to the snack bar. We ordered nine coffees and I briefly saw mom reach for the pen on the tray. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a bundle of papers. The Divorce Papers… She's gonna sign them.

"Mom, are you sure?" I asked. Any person could tell she didn't want to sign it. She didn't answer me but signed her name declaring that once the lawyers got this paper, she'd be Jo Greene again. And, I'd go with either mom or dad.

"It's for the best NJ. For me, him, and you." She says after signing them.

"Two Coffees please." Dad said walking up to the counter. I looked down and messed with my phone while mom waited for her nine coffees.

"You know, I've been thinking about the sensors. The way they scattered out there today on the highway. I'm starting to wonder if the funnel will carry them like we thought." Dad said to Mom. She was confused.

"Too light?" We both asked.

"I don't know, maybe the whole things too light." Dad said. Oh yea, ever since that incident with the last tornado, I called him Dad, not Bill. But, I was never going to call Melissa my mother.

"When's it gonna be enough, huh?! How close do you have to get-" Bill yelled. He grabbed her hand as she started to walk away. "Talk to me!!! Jo, things go wrong, you can't explain it, and you can't predict it! Killing yourself won't bring your dad back. I'm sorry he died, but it was a long time ago. You gotta move on. Stop living in the past and look at what you've got right in front of you!"

"What are you saying?" Mom asked confused.

"Me. Jo, Me and Natalie." He said.

"I'm not sure." He said.

Mom stares at the TV inside the snack bar. It too is gone to static, Mom looks at it, the warning obvious to her. Dad notices as well. The wind is softly howling. Suddenly, Mom first, then Dad turns to the north looks up at the sky. You can tell, as storm chasers, they can sense a tornado coming. The wind grows louder. There is a low rumble. Dusty is in the van watching the Doppler radar. He suddenly grows very stressed.

"JO! BILL! NJ! IT'S COMING!!! IT'S HEADED RIGHT FOR US!!!!" Dusty screamed coming out of his van.

"It's already here." Dad said looking around. "EVERYBODY UNDERGROUND NOW!!" He shouted. The tornado sirens went off.

"BILLY!" Melissa screamed running out of the motel-room she was in that was part of the drive-in.

"Honey! Come on!" Dad grabs Melissa's hand and runs towards the warehouse, but stopped when he saw me and mom froze.

Suddenly she snaps out of it. She runs to the snack bar, banging on the windows to warn the employees, screaming. "GET UNDERGROUND, TAKE COVER RIGHT NOW, LETS GO!!!!!!" Mom screamed. As she did that, I grabbed the divorce papers.

"The doors!! Close the Doors!! Doors! Doors!!" Dusty screamed but I saw Laurence hiding his car, so did mom and we ran outside to get him. "BILL!!"

"Come on, take my hand." I said to him.

"I can't-" Laurence said but I interrupted.

"Take my hand!!"

Everyone scrambles to the pit in the floor of the warehouse, where they all crowd together up in a corner in fetal position. The whole warehouse begins to tremble. The windows implode. Suddenly, a hub cap flies through the air and cuts Preacher's forehead. Mom holds his head to stop the bleeding.

"My head!" Preacher shouted.

"You're okay!" Mom told him.

"IT'LL BE OVER SOON!!!" Dad yelled to Melissa.

"THIS IS INSANE!!! THIS IS INSANE!! I DON'T LIKE THIS!!! THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!! I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!!!!" Melissa screams as I put my hands to my ears to shield them from her voice.

"STAY CALM!!!" Dad yelled.

"Its okay, honey! It'll be okay!!" I heard Dad shout at Melissa. While my hands were over my ears, a beam fell and hit my head. Ow… It took all my strength to keep quiet and awake.

Suddenly, the winds start to die down, the lights buzz and go out. Dad notices the red streaks in my hair and runs over to me.

"Are you ok Natalie?" He asked worriedly.

"NATALIE!" I looked up at saw Mom running toward me. I was surprised. She never called me Natalie. Never.

"You called me Natalie." I told her.

"That is your name isn't it?" She joked then she turned serious. "DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIRST-AID KIT?" She shouted.

"I do." A woman who was working at the snack counter walked up and gave Mom the first-aid kit. She then started to clean my wound.

"Don't cry baby girl." I heard dad say. That's when I realized, I was crying. He pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead.

"That's the most I can do, ok kid?" Mom said, using her nickname again. I nodded and stood up.

Mom went over to Dusty, who was in his van, me and Dad followed, with his arm around my waist.

"Can you tell which way it's headed?" She asked Dusty. He looked worried but answered anyway.

"Its backing northeast. It's um......It looks to hit Wakita head on."

"I'm goin'. I'm goin', let's go, let's go!!!" Mom yelled.

"We're going!!!!" Dusty yelled. I saw Dad's eyes flicker back and forth from Melissa to Mom.

"Just go with Melissa. You said, you'd stay for one day whether DOROTHY flew or not. We'll just carpool with someone." He was about to say something but I handed him the divorce papers I grabbed before the tornado. "Mom signed them. I hope you're happy with Melissa." I tossed them at him and walked over to mom who was mad because she couldn't call Aunt Meg.

"Where's the phone?!" Mom yelled.

"The lines are down, Jo, I already tried." Beltzer told her.

"We're going." Mom said.

"Damn it. Hang on, I'll drive." Bill said walking up.

"Hey, Jo, look. We can jump on the 38 exchange and cross highway 132." Rabbit said.

Bill walked over to Melissa. The first word I heard was, "You know, I can't compete with this. I don't even know where to start!"

"Bill, come on!" Dusty shouted.

"We can be in Wakita in about an hour. Bill, common'!!!" Rabbit yelled. Bill came up and I saw him place an engagement ring in his front pocket. He had broken up with Melissa or she broke it off with him.

Everyone loaded up in their vehicles and, me, mom, and Bill loaded up in his truck. We all start driving to Wakita. When we get there, we see that, we're too late.
