<strong>Oliva</strong><br/><strong>Leaving the Shopping Center</strong><br/><strong>Nobody</strong><br/><hr/><br/>Everything was a disaster, and Oliva couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. She had never been brave, and the situation was bringing out her cowardice. Even though everybody around her seemed nice, she didn't know any of them. She began to worry about her own family, friends, and coworkers.<br/><br/>She rose to her feet and paced around nervously in a circle.<strong>"I-I'm sorry. I have to leave. I can't stay here."</strong>She was shivering from head to toe. Her eyes connected with Michelle, and she couldn't help but gasp. It looked bad, and Oliva was fearing the worst.<strong>"Tell Michelle that I'll be back, okay? Please, please keep her safe. She- Umm..."</strong>She stopped short of finishing. Her breathing was heavy, and she felt bad about leaving, but her instinct told her to flee. Without waiting for a response, Oliva turned and hurried away from the group.<br/><br/>The walk to the airport was crowded with crashed cars, but she was determined to reach it. There would be officials at the airport, and she hoped to gain some sort of information. She managed to shake the image of Michelle out of her head. Part of her wanted to stick with the woman, and the other part believed their entire friendship to be a mistake.
