As Alyssa woke up early in the morning, the sun gleaming in her eyes through the living room window, she still feels the pounding headache that she went to bed with on arriving at her mother’s best friend’s home who lived ten blocks away from her neighborhood. Alyssa was hopeful to find her mother’s childhood friend Gail. She was praying she was alive along with her best friend Gina but there were no signs of them and both cars are gone from their driveway. That may be a good sign which means there’s a chance they are alive but where could they be. Grateful that she was at her friend’s home and had a place to sleep, she wishes she could stay here and continue to rest, but Alyssa needed to find her mom and dad. She had 50 miles to walk to the hospital.
