The Beginning

"Carl!" ,my mom shouted from the kitchen ," start packing a bag right now!"
I wondered why she looked so scared ,I wondered what was happening.I looked to the tv,the CDC was saying how important it is for everyone to get out of big cities.Suddenly ,the only thing on the TV was static.I looked at mom."why do we have to go?,I don't want to go!",I said ,panic rising in my voice .
she took my hands,"darling ,look at me",I glanced up ,"we have to go,it's not safe here anymore,the CDC.....well...they couldn't contain the virus....big cities are most at risk", she said ,slowly so I could take it all in.
" What?",I blurted ," I thought they got rid of it...."
My head stared to spin."we will be fine,ok?,we will be fine".Lori murmured.
"Dads's still in hospital!,we can't leave him mom,we can't !"
"Carl,I wish we didn't have to leave him,but it's the only choice we have ,he would want us safe,he would want you Safe"she pleaded.
"We will come back for him ,right?",I replied,I looked at her,waiting for her to say something ,anything.
she looked down at her hands"sure.....honey....sure....",she trailed."go and pack one bag,ok?,Shane's coming soon to pick us up"
I nodded .Shane was still my dads best friend at this point ,it's funny how things change.
I pounded upstairs ,I looked around my bedroom.It suddenly dawned on me that I had never left Atanta for more than a day.I wasn't sure how I felt about about leaving.I stuffed my bag with any clothes I could find.When I look back on this moment ,I still regret that I didn't pick up the photo of me,mom and dad together.I said a silent goodbye to my house.
I started to worry ,if dad ever woke up,where would he go?,he wouldn't be able to find us.He would be alone.He would think we abandoned him,that's what made me worry the most,it wasn't the virus ,it was leaving dad.
At the time ,I thought I would only be away from Atlanta for a week,I was so wrong.
I looked out my window and saw Shane's car park up outside.This was it .It was time to leave,time to leave dad.
"Carl!,it's time to go,remember to get your bag!",Lori called from downstairs
As I came downstairs I noticed that a lot of the photos on the walls had been taken down.I didn't think we would be away that long.She looked at me ,all I could see in her eyes was fear.She took my hand as we walked out the door.Everywere I looked ,people were shoving stuff in their cars and shops were being
looted,this didn't scare me,what scared me was the panic and worry they had in their eyes.I still can't get it out my mind.We ran to Shane's car,"Get in!,quick,we have to get out the city now!"Shane shouted.
Mom opened the door with such force I was afraid it would come off its hinges."drive!"she screamed,as I put on my belt.I'm surprised we made it down the street,it was nearly blocked because of the amout of people trying to get out.
Mom held my hand" were are we going to go?",she questioned Shane.
His eyes met hers in the side mirror ," Honestly,I don't know,anywhere that's not here",he admitted.
I forced myself to look out the window,I wish I hadn't ,what I saw made me gasp.On the sidewalk,a girl...well I think it was a girl,was covered in blood.She didn't look alive......she looked like a corpse.Half of her face was hanging off,it was kept on by a few lumps of skin.It looked like someone had caved her head in.All I could see was blood,I looked away.My insides didn't feel so good.
Mom pulled me close as we passed serveral people in their cars.As we passed the 'you are now leaving Atlanta' sign , all I could think about was dad
