The news has been playing the same story for the past 2 weeks now ,
"Tonight's the night the world will end "

Iv been up since 9:00 am trying to do normal things but my mind keeps wondering if it could be true .
I plan in my head how i want to go ,where i want to be and who i want with me but i cant stop the voice of reason telling me to behave .
My son has turned 4 months today ,i watch him sleep and feel shivers run up my spine . So young and helpless ,will his life end before it starts ? i shake off the bad feelings and make my way to the sitting room where i can see if there is any updates .Cole is due home soon ,i know he will understand why i have made a plan ,i know he will hold me .

We have 1 hour till the world ends ,im lying in bed in cole's arms with our son placed between us .I cant stop my tears as small as they are . I love them both so much ,i cant believe i could lose them .


We have 10 minutes left. im wrapped around cole as if i am trying to climb inside him ,my hearts beating so hard and loud i wonder if he can hear it .
"Cole ?" i whisper "i love you but if im wrong about this im also sorry"
he laughs gently his breath fanning my face "its ok ,really, the main thing is we are together"
He kisses my eyes and tears while i sob like a child ,our sons snores the only noise in-between my silences .
We wait ..............


The moment has passed ,nothing happened .Im so relieved but feel silly too ,i place my 2 hands on either side of Coles face and kiss him
"lets go make food" i smile and laugh nervously "the world didn't end after all ,i wonder what will be in the news tomorrow ?" .







Wrote this when i was 15 ,see how enthusiastic i was about life ? and yes its rough but i wanted to type it the way i wrote it all those years ago
