Description:
I was headed to Tracy and Pearls house, climbing up Hawthorne Blvd on my bike when Matthew called from work. He had just gotten to the library and called me as soon as he heard. People at the library were scared for their lives. I begged him to come home and he said that he might have to but that things were still unclear. When I got to Tracy's house she hadn't heard so I told her. She and I sat in front of the tv for 2 hours not talking. We got hungry and found a cafe that had a tv. We ate in silence as we kept watching and getting sicker and more upset by the moment. I couldn't call home (NY) becase all of the lines were busy all day and I was terrified that one of my brothers or sisters was there for some reason, even though they live hundreds of miles away in upstate the fear was so real I could taste it.
After half a day spent watching television and feeling miserable Tracy and I decided to run away. We packed up the car, got the dog and went to a secret swimming hole in the woods we knew. We left because we felt like we were going to implode. We spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping next to the river. We were so overloaded with fear and sadness. That night we all went to the bar. We were embarrased to be out drinking but all of our friends were in shock and no-one could sit still or be alone. It felt like the whole was ending. I remember how scared everyone was, how fragile everything felt. I never knew how lucky I had been to not have known what it was like to feel that kind of fear.
