She exhaled softly as she got her phone back, moving to see the cracks in it. She tried to turn it on, and after a few seconds it finally did.
She held her breath the entire time during those few seconds and finally let herself breathe when her phone turned on. She opened her phone despite the cracks on it that might cut her fingers, and found the photo.
She looked back at the boy as he talked to her again, she moved to open the photo of her siblings and showed them to him.
She was more so able to understand him now that she had her phone back and some of the shock had worn off.
She was also more aware of the pain of her ankle and stumbled a bit.
"H-have you seen these two anywhere around here? I need to find them- they are my siblings.." She spoke to him, almost pleading to him for help.
"please, I have no service and I can't reach them."

Lucky nodded. "Nobody has service, the towers in this part of the country are all down." He looked at his uncle. "Do you know these kids?"
Uncle Tim shook his head. "I've seen her around but not the kids." He looked around. "I'll check the pharmacy for something for that ankle." He took off at a jog.
Lucky gently put his hand on her shoulder. "Here, have a seat in the truck, take the weight off your ankle. My uncle will be back in a minute with a brace or something." He looked at the picture again. "Are you sure they'd be in Hawk Springs?"

She looked between him and his uncle and felt like she might cry again. She didn't even know if her siblings were alright much less where they were.
She moved to get into the truck and sit down, moving wipe her eyes with her hands as she felt the tears coming again.
Did she even have a chance at finding them at this point?
She looked up at lucky before looking at her phone.
"I don't know..I usually get messages from either them or the social services worker when they move towns and this was the last place that they were put with a family that I know about."
She tried hard to stop herself from basically sobbing but she felt it bubbling inside her.
The hopelessnes..

Lucky nodded, trying to be encouraging. "If they have social workers, they're probably moving out of Hawk Springs now. We're in the radiation radius of the bomb, so they're either in a shelter or leaving."
Uncle Tim came back and handed him a roll of sports tape and an ankle brace. Lucky took it and pulled her shoe off, before starting to tape her ankle.
"I'm Lucky. This is my Uncle Tim." He looked up at her, continuing to tape. "Lemme fix up this ankle and you can decide what you wanna do. Do you have a family to go back to, other than your siblings?"

She looked up at the mention of the shelter, "shelter..?" She wanted to know more if they were in the shelter then maybe she could find them.
Just maybe she had a chance.
She blinked as he started to fix her ankle and realized that hw didn't even know her name.
"I'm, I'm Vera. I would say it's nice to meet you but this hasn't exactly been the best situation everywhere. Though I'm really fortunate to have run into you guys." She put a hand on her neck as it got finished up.
"Ah…no..I don't have any family, at least, not in this state. Not any that I want to go back too…my siblings are all I have."

Lucky nodded at her as he put the brace on over the tape. "I'm sorry we met this way, Vera." He tapped the brace. "That should feel better now." He began putting the rest of the medical supplies in the back of the truck. "I don't think Hawk Springs has formal shelters, but a lot of folks will be hiding in their basements and such. Either that, or getting out of town." He finished stacking everything and walked back around to her. "If you don't have anywhere specific to go, you could come with us. My uncle and aunt have a farm where they're gonna stay till this blows over more. You could stay there for a while, till you figure out how to find your siblings." He started checking the pile in the back against the list they'd made, trying to see what they still needed.

"It's alright..who knows, maybe I never would have met you had it not happened this way and we could end up being some good friends.' She tried to lighten the mood a little bit when she said that, not really expecting anything to come out of what she said.
She thought for a moment while he went to the back of his truck to put stuff in the truck bed, which makes sense and all. They were probably trying to stock up before she ran into the middle of the road Like an idiot.
She looked back up at lucky,
"are you sure that's okay for me to do? I'm just a random person you almost ran over. I would hate to crowd on you guys and force myself in."

Alex was sitting on the couch with Lexi when there was a flash in the window behind them and the building shook I caused lexie to scream as Alex jumped up and grabbed the little girl the look in her eyes was pure terror as she stared a the cause of the earthquake feeling she had no idea what to do at this point she held lexie's head keeping her from looking at the events unfolding she pulled out her phone in an attempt to get ahold of lexie's mother but she had no bars the power flickered and went out in an instant alex muttered under her breath before she ran into her bedroom and sat lexie down and searched under her bed for her emegacy bag and grabbed it before heading out of the room with lexie pulled into her arms and her duffel bag around her shoulder and hanging against her butt she was frantically try to reach levies mother but the cell towers were out and there was nothing she could do about that but pray and dope to God her car would start

(Sorry I ended up getting tired so here's this short shit)

"It's alright..who knows, maybe I never would have met you had it not happened this way and we could end up being some good friends.'
"are you sure that's okay for me to do? I'm just a random person you almost ran over. I would hate to crowd on you guys and force myself in."

Lucky smiled at her. "Yeah, maybe. Who knows?" He looked across the street. "There's a general store over there. I'm gonna go grab some food, you coming with?"
He responded to her concerns as he looked down the street, making sure nobody was coming.
"I'm sure it's ok. You're not a threat to my family, and we've got plenty of room." He looked her in the eyes as he crossed the street. "And you're not forcing yourself in, you're being invited."

(Ah I wanna post so bad but I'm at work!!! Sorry guys! 😭)
(Zero! I love your characters btw!! ~chefs kiss~ 🤌)

(Awww akdksks thank you!! ^^)

Ruby clung to her big brothers arm, confused and a bit panicked as she saw the family they were staying with frantically move around the house.
The TV was playing static in the background of the chaos as it seemed that they were tossing items around and packing up to go somewhere.
But where?…
They couldnt leave the state without the family talking to the social worker and telling them they decided to keep them.
Were they just going to get left behind again..?
"Lio..? What's happening?" She spoke to her brother as she looked up at him, her voice soft.
He looked back down at her, his face conflicted on what he should say or express. He just put a hand on her hand and ruffled her hair.
"I'm sure we'll find out soon okay?" He spoke to her, his voice smooth and comforting as he offered her a small smile.
She nodded to him and just stood there as the family packed up their stuff.
if Lio says things are okay…then..things are okay.
~~
Lio very much knew things weren't okay, but how in the world could he tell his little sister they were about to be left behind?
He couldn't.
He ran a hand through his hair, stressed. He overheard them talking about a bomb hitting down, and felt it touching down when they were watching a show upstairs and the TV cut out.
He moved to take his sisters hand in his and go upstairs with her.
"We have to pack our stuff too, okay ruby?"
She nodded back to him and let go of his hand, moving to pack up her stuff into her backpack as much as she could.
He sighed, moving to shove stuff into his duffle bag, he grabbed some of ruby's stuff and shoved it in before shoving his stuff into his backpack.
He didn't need as much as she did. He couldn't gareentee phones would work anymore, or power.
He still grabbed the charger though just in case they got in range to call their older sister.
They had to find her somehow.
They just had to survive until then.

(I tried my best since I know nothing about how nuclear bombs effects travel and being rushed lol.)

The day was windy. The sweet scent of milkweed poisoned the air as a camera shutter went off.

“You look so cute, sweetie!” A woman’s voice squealed as she hugged a small child. She wore a plain red dress that reached just below the knee. The small child wasn’t complacent with the woman, causing her to frown.

“Come on, Lazarus, sweetie, it's your special day!” The woman tried to soothe the unwilling boy. He turned away from the woman in red, the wind ruffling her dress. “Please, Laz!”

“No!” The boy refused her pleas.

The woman kneeled next to the boy, holding his arm. “Laz!” The boy turned to look at the woman, her eyes scratched out. “Laz! Help me.” She mumbled. The boy was terrified beyond his mind. “Laz!” The woman shouted, shaking the small boy. “LAZ!”

Laz opened his eyes, gasping for a breath, which he could not find. His father and Pepper stood over the boy in distraught. His ears rung from the desperation of the dream. His father’s face was indescribable emotion, and Pepper a ghostly white, her little thin hands shaking. Laz didn’t understand why they woke him from his slumber. Looking over, his alarm clock was no longer blinking or counting the numerals of time. “What’s going on?” This a strange, even for a Friday night. His father and Pepper glanced at each other, an exchange was briefly given between them before they hit him wither the hard news. “The United States has been nuked.”

Laz nearly threw up. And before he knew it, he was dragged out of bed and carried into Pepper’s car. Big snowflakes fell upon his nose as he clung to the only thing he held dear. His baby blanket. Laz shook the snow off his head, his father throwing him in the back seat. As far as Laz could comprehend, Pepper was going to bring them to safety out of state. Then she was going to abandon the two to go do her job. A job that could kill her. “Why are we going closer to the West Coast? Won’t the effects get worse and worse?” He croaked, only to be shushed by his father. This all had to be a nightmare… right? A big old nightmare. And he could scream, and his mother would come to comfort him, and everything in the world would be alright. It was a perfect fantasy— but not a reality.

Lucky smiled at her. "Yeah, maybe. Who knows?" He looked across the street. "There's a general store over there. I'm gonna go grab some food, you coming with?"
He responded to her concerns as he looked down the street, making sure nobody was coming.
"I'm sure it's ok. You're not a threat to my family, and we've got plenty of room." He looked her in the eyes as he crossed the street. "And you're not forcing yourself in, you're being invited."

She nodded to him as she moved to get up from sitting, leaning most of her weight on her good ankle, so that she wouldn't have to worry so much about her bad ankle.
"Well..okay..as long as I'm not doing any of that, and you invited me in."
She sighed softly, "I hope my siblings are okay.." She muttered as she made her way across the way along side lucky.
She hadn't seen them since last week and they end up getting moved around a lot the older you get.

Lucky smiled as she followed him into the store. It appeared completely empty.
"Grab any food you like to eat, and anything you might need in the long term that you don't have."
As a small general store, it didn't have a lot of things like the bigger cities, but Lucky knew there'd be enough there to keep them going for months. "Blankets, a jacket, canned goods, anything that'll keep for a while goes in the truck."
A lot of the shelves were already empty from other people coming through. Uncle Tim had said they'd come back into town eventually and settle with the owners, if they survived.
