Grey smoke takes over the place for a while, but I don't know for how long. I look around me after I find enough courage in me to open my eyes and I realize that I'm under the table. I don't know when exactly I decided to hide under the table, but as I look around I find shards of glass everywhere. The place was neat and nice less than a minute ago, but now it's a pure mess.

"Is your phone in your bag?" she asks and I frown. My bag? Oh, I have it. When did I grab it?

I look through the bag and find my phone. With shaky hands, I unlock my phone and call him. I'm not sure if he's going to pick up or not. We have just had a fight. "Rosie! Are you safe? I was just about to call you. I heard about the explosion. You're safe, right?" His voice is rushed and I'm not sure if I hear everything he says. "..."
