Aaron's POV

*Play Song*

It all went in a blur.

Though the pain didn't.

It was literally the feeling of drowning.

What else could I say?

The water tossed and turned me, sending me sprawling though the massive currents.

I kept my eyes closed most of the time..

bad idea...

I must of hit a piece of debris, because I felt a large blow to my head, then darkness.

***********

My ears don't stop ringing.

My vision doesn't clear up.

My head won't stop pounding.

I open my eyes slowly, which seemed to be previously irritated by seawater.

Aph.....

I sit up slowly, my head overwhelming itself with pain.

I look around me, shocked by what I saw.

Most of the houses on our street were in pieces. 

Every where you looked, there was water.

It seemed to be one meter deep.

(I used the metric system? WHAT!?)

Houses were torn in half.

Trees were floating around.

I was sitting down on what-looked-to-be a wall of a house.

The water wasn't completely still, it still had the currents of a river.

The worst thing was, I didn't see anyone.

Aph...

Oh no...

Please don't be...

I attempt to stand up, only to find an excruciating pain in my left calf.

I look down at my leg, to find a large cut running down from my knee to my ankle.

I exhale, taking another look at my surroundings.

I attempt to stand up once again, semi-succeeding.

I shuffle slowly across the fallen wall, limping as I went.

The sun was blinding the edge of my vision.

Then my heart jumps.

I hear a scream.

I shuffle a little faster, trying to find the source of the scream.

The scream becomes louder, indicating I was getting closer.

Though, I had reached the edge of the wall/platform.

I look down at my calf, then back in the direction of the scream.

It could be Aph...

I slowly descend into the water, preparing myself for the water reaching the cut.

There was no way to prepare for that kind of pain...

I bite my lip, as I push through the current.

The scream seems to come from our house, or what remained of it.

I enter the house, finding absolute destruction.

The scream seems to come from the couch, which was stained with dirt.

Whattaya know? The couch floats.

I look that on the couch, was not Aph.

But Lucinda.

She was leaning over someone, someone with light brown hair.

Laurence.

I come over to the couch, throwing myself onto the soaked cushion.

Lucinda just keeps screaming, what sounded like a high pitched version of Laurence's name.

I gently place a hand on Lucinda's shoulder, making her swivel her head.

Her skin was covered in dirt and mud, like me. 

 Laurence was lying across the couch, unconscious.

"Lucinda, have you seen Aph?" I ask her, taking a seat next to her, carefully positioning my leg.

"No...nobody..I just woke up..finding Laurence.." She says, her voice hoarse and breaking.

"Do you think he is alive Aaron?" She asks me, her hand caressing Laurence's forehead.

"I hope so Lucinda....I hope so...."

I admit, I wasn't really talking about Laurence.

Aphmau, where are you?

Have a nice day my crystals!
