( *Flashback continued ...)

Ring . 

I hear a faint ringing sound . It echos in my ear . 

Ring . Ring . Ring .

My eyes open slowly as I am woken from my deep slumber . I look around , only to realize I slept on the couch ,while watching TV . As I push myself up, I wipe off the drool from the corner of my mouth . I reach my hand out to grab my phone . I sigh as I check the caller ID , MOM :) . I accept the call.

"Alex ! Did you have anything , sweetheart ?"  , my Mom's voice booms on the other end of the phone. 

" Yes Mom , I had food and I was just sleeping... ", I whine , still not out of my daze .

" Oh...Sorry honey !! " , she speaks apologetically , before continuing , " Everybody here is asking for you ! Why don't you drive over ? Uncle Tomlinson misses you  honey ... he hasn't seen you in ages ! And Louis is on his way back from London ! I believe his flight already landed ! He'll be here in a few minutes !  "

" Mom I can't come over now... I'm still sleepy and I miss Uncle Tomlinson too ! Tell him I'll pay him and Louis a visit very soon ... I miss them !", I reply before yawning .

" Okay sweetheart , no worries ...I'll let him know ! ", she laughs lightly , " Text me if you change your mind and I'll text you the address . " 

"Okay Mom ! Bye ! " , I speak .

" Bye sweetheart . I love you ! " 

" Love you too mom ! " 

The line goes dead .

---------------------------------

I wake up to the heavy sound of gunshot . My eyes quickly snap open . I feel relieved to know that the source of the sound is a stupid movie playing on TV . I quickly reach for the remote and flip the channel , changing it to whichever's next , just for the sake of getting rid of the sick sound that hurts my ears. 

I get up lazily , yawning as I glance towards the wall clock . Its already 6 in the evening and nobody's home yet . As I venture towards the kitchen , I pull out some juice from the fridge and take a quick sip from it . I hear the faint sound of TV in a distance . 

" And now the latest news for today . ", the news lady speaks , failing to grab my attention . But what she says next , has my ears all open and alert .

" Multi - Billionaire Joseph Tomlinson's house bombed ." The pitcher of juice slides off of my hands and hits the floor .My breath hitches . I run towards the TV , my mind racing with thoughts , I cannot even begin to decipher .

" Our sources have informed, that the incident took place precisely at 5.54 pm . There is no information as to who is behind the act . We have been told, there was a party going on in the house when the incident happened . There were not less than 200 people in the house at the time . We have no clue as to how many have survived the act , paramedics are on their way . Stay tuned for further updates on the case . "

My eyes are wide open as I shake my head involuntarily . 

" NO . " , I shake my head .

" NO!!! ", I yell , " This can't be happening .... T-this c-can't ..." , I shout , my throat hurts .

My vision blurs due to tears that seemed to have formed in my eyes . I run my hand through my hair , before I start to run . I pick my phone up from the table and grab the keys .I slip whatever I find over my foot , too disturbed to pluck out the small piece of glass causing my foot to bleed .

As I reach the door , I realize I don't know the address . I quickly  glance towards the TV . In small font, I see the name of the street flashing , next to the news . Downing Street . 

" More than a hundred and fifty people are dead , according to -" 

Before I hear anything else , I pick up the stool lying next to me before hurling it at the TV . 

"NO !! " , I shout involuntarily , " NO !! MY FAMILY ISN'T DEAD !!! DO YOU GET IT YOU BLOODY BITCH !?????"  , I shout as loud as I can at the broken shards of glasses scattered across the room . 

I don't know what's happening , I don't know what I'm doing . I'm not in control of myself. My feelings have taken over my body . 

Before I know , I'm in the car , the engine roars with life , even when my life has been sucked out of me . I speed along the roads, missing the cars by a hair breadth's escape . I hear perpetual honking ,but no sound can be as loud as the sound of my mind , my heart , my soul screaming . Tears run down my cheeks endlessly . 

After about 15 minutes of driving rashly , I reach the street . As I take a turn , my vision is blinded temporarily by smoke . I squint my eyes to see , but I can't . I make out a vehicle parked in the middle , and I leave the car next to it before rushing out ,  not bothering to shut the door .

I run and run . The smoke gets less and less thicker , till its barely even there . I see debris . Debris of building scattered all over . I can't imagine how less than 30 minutes ago there was a newly built house standing there . I cannot believe what I see .

 I don't hear the sirens , I don't hear the paramedics shouting , I don't hear anything , I just see ...
