The Tree's blew gently in the wind as the sun glared down on the sidewalk.
"hey your ice pop is melting !"
you looked down at your hand the blue Popsicle liquid dripped down and off your knuckles, you quickly brought it up to your mouth and licked the juice off your fingers.
"you okay (Y/N) ? you've been kinda quiet and distant lately"
"I'm fine...it's just that something just kinda seems off you know"
you said looking up from your Popsicle and to your left where your best friend was seated. She smiled at you and shrugged looking up at the sky.
"(Y/N) you're weird you know that right ?"
she turned her gaze back over to you "In a good way though". You smiled at her and leaned back on the bench staring at the slow passing clouds. "yeah...i know" you finished off the rest of your Popsicle and threw it in the trash can near by (BFF/N) following your actions.
"lets go meet the others at the mall they've probably been waiting there forever now"
"yeah i don't wanna keep your royal princess waiting" (BFF/N) playfully shoved you forward "she's your friend too (Y/N) be nice". You scuffed and started walking away "Avery will never be my friend she always acts like she's to pretty or proper to do normal things like come with us to get Popsicle's". (BFF/N) sighed and put her arm over your shoulder pulling you close to her "those things may be true but if you look pass that stuff she's a good friend...so please don't be shady or mean to her today".
You rolled you eyes looking at the couple with the baby walking past you two...have i seen them before you thought to yourself. Before you could do or think of doing anything else (BFF/N) grabbed your hand and burst into a sprint dragging you inside the huge mall in front of you.
"you know it wouldn't kill you to warn me before you start running off somewhere"
"sorry (Y/N) i just swore i saw Avery and the other walk in here"
You shook your head and looked around the mall looking for something to do instead of walk around with Avery and her stupid friends. You noticed (your favorite store) was open so you began to walk away from (BFF/N).
"Ill join up with you and Avery later okay"
"Whaaaattttt (Y/N)..." (BFF/N) whined as you continued to walk off. You turned around and waved bye to her, she huffed and folded her arms over her chest walking away in a different direction. You smiled and turned back around walking into (your favorite store), you browsed and looked around for about 30 minutes so you were hungry by now.
On your way to the food court you kept seeing things that you swore you've already seen happen before. It was a weird feeling but you shrugged it off and waited in the line for (whatever you wanna eat)."stop running around you'll fall and hurt your self" a woman knelt down to talk to her son. Then a man carrying a cart full of teddy bears strolled past. you felt like it was a rerun of past events around you. "Excuse me miss its your turn to order" you turned around "oh..sorry"
"hey don't worry about it it happens all the time..so what you having"
"i would like-" " (Y/N)!!" you looked around to find the source of the voice and you spotted (BFF/N) on the escalator coming down to you with Avery and the others behind her. you sighed and turned back to the guy to order what you wanted but was interrupted again by a loud rumble.
"what the hell was that ?"
"is that a earthquake ?"
"whats going on ?!?"
"We have to leave now"
People around began to get worried but nothing happened for another five seconds. So everyone relaxed and proceeded with their activities again, you finally ordered what you wanted and walked over to a table to eat.
(BFF/N) was busy running over to you too take some of your food as usual, while Avery and the other went for something to eat. she picked up an empty chair and was walking over with it when a second rumble happened everything began to shake roughly. everyone was falling or holding onto near objects to stay balanced while things started to break all over. you tried to crawl over to (BFF/N) but pieces of the building began to break apart and fall around you. It was like something out of a movie, people screaming and trying to run or find cover while everything was collapsing around you all.
"(Y/N) !! HELP !"
Those words echoed in you ears as everyone was covered under rubble and engulfed in complete darkness.
~(y/n) pov)~
I wake up in a cold sweat rolling over on my bed to stare at the ceiling.
"no matter what i do it always...ends the same" i sighed softly and sat up patting the sheets to find my phone. I found it and checked the time, it was about 5 am so i laid back on my bed to stare at the ceiling. "I'm not gonna go back to sleep so i might as well just get up" i rolled out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. looking in the mirror i noticed the same scar on the side of my head that i got from the building collapse two years ago. i washed my face and looked at my self again.
{After Morning Routine}
I sat down in my Art studio and stared at my blank canvas in front of me...nothing was on my mind, I'm just blank right now. I spun around in my chair and rolled over to my desk and grabbed my sketch book and looked out the window.
"the weather is fine so i should probably go out for a stretch"
I slipped on my shoes and picked up a jacket pulling it on before i walked out the door. i locked the door behind and put my keys into my pants pocket walking out my front yard and down the side walk, when my neighbor called out me.
"Good morning (y/n) out for your walk ?"
"Yeah i am"
"Alright hun have a blessed day"
"you too"
she smiled and sipped her tea on her porch, the air was cool since we were at the end of November so I don't have to worry about taking off my jacket anytime soon. I past a couple of joggers and a dog walker, this neighborhood is actually really peaceful if I'm being honest. Nothing really goes on here except for a few teenagers passing through during any type of festive season activity.
My first stop is the park and since its early nobody was here. I walked around sketching most objects around me like the swings, trees, and benches, once i was done i left to go on my normal route. I usually stop at a public garden first, then some of the areas people usually do photo shoots at and lastly the beach. On my way to my next stop I came up to this small shop owned by an old man and his nice daughter who is about my age.
"Hey (y/n)"
"Hey Mr. shaw"
"your looking really well these days" he smiled brightly holding onto his broomstick. "yeah how's the store holding up i heard some kids stole somethings" he waved it off "ah its just kids we were all kids once". Mr. Shaw tends forget i'm not that old i'm actually only 20 i just smiled at him. "Well I'm gonna get going now"
"Wait don't leave just yet i noticed you come down here and spend a lot of time out here before you go home so my daughter made something for you" I waited as he asked while he jogged into the store and quickly came back with a small bag. He handed it to me and i took it opening it to look inside, it was a clear container with food in it. I closed it and looked up to say thank you but Mr. Shaw was already sweeping the other side of the store. I put the strap over my shoulder and continued my walk down the street to my next destination.
{At The Last Location}
I sat on the sand while the waves crashes onto the shore. It was about maybe 5 or 6 in the afternoon so the sun was setting giving me a nice sunset to sketch. families were packing up to go and couples took pictures together using the beautiful sunset as their background. I quickly finished up my sketch and closed my book resting it beside me on the sand and took the rest of the time to admire the colors and the nice breeze. Maybe about an half hour has past now so i decided it's time to head home. I picked up the bag and dusted off the sand from my clothes and began my walk back home.
As i walked the street lights came on lighting up the way side walks. people making their way back home after work or from a long day of doing something they love. i stopped at the shop and dropped off the bag and continued my walk back home. I finally reached my neighborhood quiet as usual some people on their porch talking to one another. i got to my house and my neighbor came out her house.
"How was it ?"
"It was Good"
"That's good to hear and make sure you eat okay"
"yes ma'am"
"goodnight (y/n)"
