Chapter 11
.
On Saturday Febuary 12th Zack tried to explain to Eve about her mother' sickness. He said she had relapssed because of her fear of ELE. Eve was only four when Kendall had gotten sober the last time. She didn't rememer much, except for that christmas when she got a new puppy, whom she named Cujo. Eve now realized that her mom had gotten her a dog to make up for her recent behavior. Zack said they would just have to be there for Kendall if she made a mistake. Eve understood, chances were everyone would make a few mistakes with ELE coming. That saturday Adam and Eve went to the movies on their first official date. They saw a film about a 14 year old super hero, super villain, and mad scientist all starting highschool together. It was corny, but a good distraction for a few hours. During the previews the theatre showed an ad asking for volunteers for building Arks. The ad called it patriotic to volunteer for this project. After the movie Adam and Eve went back to Eve's house to watch tv. Her parents weren't here, Zack was probably at work, Kendall at the grocery store. Adam was allowed here, but not allowed upstairs, where Eve's room was. Eve was a bit tired of the news, especially with the countdown, which now said 1254 days. After some channel surfing they ended up watching old episodes of "Buffy." It was somewhat encouraging to see the slayer save the world from the master vampire. Eve didn't understand why the Master would want to kill all humans, that would cut off the vampire's food supply. Eve figured she could save the world if someone gave her slayer strength. Around 6pm a news story broke. This worried Adam and Eve, breaking news was not comforting lately. But this story was about Nikki Calendar. Eve remembered Nikki as the cute kid from a sitcom years ago. The premise involved an NBA star adopting 12 kids. But not Nikki Calendar. 19, had discovered her boyfriend Cheating on her. Nikki shot and killed both of them, then turned the gun on herself. Eve was shocked. She also knew this tragedy was minor compared to what was coming. But it was also exciting, and far away from Eve. It was fun to lose herself in a small time scandal like this for a little while.
