EARTHQUAKE! Part 2

          We all stayed outside a little longer just incase there were any aftershocks. Eventually we decided that someone had to go back inside. We decided that we would grab what we needed out of the house and just spend our time outside until we got further news about what was going on. Since I was the only male adult available, I chosen to go back inside to see if it was safe. "OK Chris" my mom said "go ahead". I didn't mind, in my haste I had accidently left two valuables of mine in the house and I was eager to get back in the house to retrieve them.
          I slowly made my way up the stares. I have to be honest, the idea of dying from a house falling on me wasn't too appealing to me. "Chris" my mom said "If things start shaking, come running right back outside". "OK mom" I said. I stepped into the house and looked around. Once I felt ready I took off, I quickly made my way up the stairs to retrieve my two items. While I was busy at work upstairs, my mom and her friend had come into the house to collect their things.
          As my mom made her way up the stairs, she saw me come flying back down. Under my one arm was my laptop and under the other was my Xbox 360, along with a trail of cords behind me. "You are sick" my mom laughed as I ran passed. "Hey" I said "these are my most valuable items, I am not going to let them be destroyed when this house comes down". After locking my laptop and Xbox safely in my car, I ran back in to grab my clothes and other accessories.
          Once we got what we needed we all went back outside with our things. We tried making calls to other people people, but the phones were jammed. After we finally got some more information about what was going on, we decided that we would eat some lunch and than go home.
          While eating lunch I gave my friend Dave a call. He told me that he had been eating lunch in his car when the ground started shaking. I told him how the first thing I grabbed upon getting into the house was my Xbox 360 and laptop. "YOU ARE PATHETIC!" he yelled "YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!" I started cracking up. "SHUT UP CHRIS, IT'S NOT FUNNY" he continued "IT IS JUST SAD AND PATHETIC! HOW IS IT THE FIRST THING YOU GRAB IS YOUR XBOX AND LAPTOP! YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE!". After he was done ranting, we talked a bit longer than hung up. In the end we all decided to leave the beach house and go home.
