Worlds Over, Time to Die. Nothing Left but our Souls Inside.

Writing down my feelings used to be a coping method to deal with all the things I was too shy to say, but now, oh god, now it was so much more. It’s to keep me sane. My name is Tony Perry, and everything was amazing till world decided otherwise. I am twenty-nine years old, with an amazing family, and lovely girlfriend Erin. She was perfect, we were perfect. Till she went missing. He promised to keep her safe, but then she was gone.

My life was amazing. I was living in sunny California I had a pet turtle named Tortuga, he was adorable. His little arms would carry him through the water, I spent hours watching him swim happily through the tank. At night I would watch moves with my band mates, they wouldn't watch Star Wars anymore, because I keep quoting the lines along with the actors. I got to tour with my best friends and entertain lovely crowds, but everything good must come to an end right?

After Self-help we went off to party in celebration, but in the middle of the night the ground began to tremble, like nothing I had ever experienced. Erin was nestled in my chest and I held her hoping it would pass, but when it didn’t we were gripping for dear life on to doorways and hiding under tables. I could see Jaime holding onto the counter for dear life, Jessica gripping onto his waist. Our eyes meet for a moment and I tried to scream out that we needed to do something, but nothing could be heard over the noise of the ground shaking and the evacuation sirens. When the earthquake subsided everyone began to scream, some of us were crying, and others in pure shock. I was in shock.

My limbs wouldn’t move, Erin was shaking me, but I couldn’t feel or hear her words. A brisk slap to the face from Mike brought me back to reality and Victor began to bark out orders. We all began to gather up everyone and separated into cars my mother, sisters, and I got in a car together and Erin went off with Vic and Danielle so that I could be with my family.

We parted with a sweet pained kiss while everyone around us screamed, Vic pulled us apart giving me a promise to keep her safe. My mom speed off following Victor weaving through the destroyed city. People were running through the streets covered in blood, and bodies of the dead were scattered everywhere. I pulled my sisters into my chest shielding them from the terrible images that would forever be burned into my retinas. I could hear Rebecca’s quiet sobs and Avery’s body just trembled in my tattooed arms. My Mom’s eyes stared lifelessly at the road following the van in attempts to get out of California before we were swallowed up into the ocean.

I was terrified, but I had to stay strong for my family, but I couldn’t help the few tears that fell from my brown eyes. What were we going to do? Where would we go? How would we survive? I couldn’t help but let my mind wonder to all of our fans, the people who made our dream a possibility what would happen to them? If this continues we may never play music again. We may never hear the screams of thousands of devoted fans. We may never be able to save another person with our music.

Thinking too much about what was to happening was making me nauseous, the contents of my stomach were creeping up my throat by I forced it down. I just kept telling myself keep it together and everything would be okay. Soon we stopped at a gas station to regroup there were hordes of people walking along the high way. They were moving slowly limping along like they had been injured. We called out to see if they were okay, but there was no response. As they grew closer the more scared I got. It was like a horror film. They were pale, bloody, and grunting like animals. We started running, I grabbed my mom and sisters and didn’t look back till we were safe, and then I realized she was gone, Erin was gone. The girl I loved was gone. I haven’t been able to stop crying.
