A Lost Future: Chapter 2

The makeshift bandage wrapped around Olly's leg soon became red, and the pair decided they had to get him to a doctor, that is, if there was anyone there. "Olly," Georgia started.

"Yeah," the brunette replied.

"Do you think this is all real? Or is it just a dream?" she asked him, her eyes red from crying.
"I'm still not sure. At first I thought I'd fallen asleep, but now, well, it's starting to look as if it is all true. I'm just confused to as why weren't whisked away with the rest of the school," Olly answered. The heavy rain continued and their grey surroundings soon became filled with puddles and overflowing gutters. The harsh wind changed its direction and soon the rain was blowing into them, even though they were under cover. The two remained silent until one of them finally thought of an idea. "Hey Olly, you have your 'L's don't you? Do you think your leg could handle you driving? It isn't far to the closest shopping centre, probably only about 3 minutes at most, maybe less right?" Georgia asked him, her eyes lighting up with hope.
"Yeah I do. I think I could handle that, three minutes isn't long, especially if it will get help," he replied. For once after the freak 'accident' both teenagers felt hope. There was just one problem. "How are we going to get the keys for a car?" Georgia asked.

"Hmmm, I hadn't thought of that. All the objects were left behind right? If it was just the people that went, maybe there will be some keys in some of the classrooms," Olly suggested as he tried to get up, which ended with him sitting back down again. "No, stay where you are, I'll go and take a look," Georgia said, and ran off to the closest classroom. Immediately she went to the front of the room and frantically started searching for keys on the front bench. Nothing. She scanned the floor briefly and still found nothing. Figuring that it was quicker to briefly search multiple rooms than to thoroughly search one, she ran out of the room and was asked, "No luck?"
"Nope, I'm going to go search a few more rooms. I'll be back in 5," Georgia replied before rushing into the next room. Her hands moved over all the items on the teacher's desk, but still there were no keys. Moving onto the floor, Georgia spotted a dark coat that looked way too big for it to be a student's. She picked it up and searched through the pockets, one by one, and she found what they'd been looking for, a set of car keys. She didn't know what teacher they belonged to, or the car for that matter, but surely they'd be able to figure it out. She leaped out the door, keys in hand, and back to Olly's side. "I found some! I found some!" Georgia screamed in delight.
"Good job! Now, help me up would you?" Olly congratulated. Georgia gave him her hand and helped him up before putting his arm around her shoulders for support. "Hey, do you think there would be some crutches we could 'borrow' in the nurse's office?" Georgia asked, thinking they might come in handy.  "Maybe, I think I saw some there when I was getting hot water for my two minute noodles yesterday. Let's go check," Olly answered and they changed direction. Getting there was a slow process, Georgia was trying her best to act as a support but she wasn't exactly the strongest person in the world. When they finally got there, she sat Olly down on the couch and went to look for the crutches. It didn't take long to find them, unlike the keys, because they were big, bulky and propped up next to the wall in the adjoining room. Before taking them she went to the cupboards and searched for a proper bandage. Once she found one, she took it, some wet paper towel and the crutches and went back to the couch. Then she took off the makeshift bandage made from Olly's pants, wiped the wound with the paper towel and put on a proper bandage. After helping him up, she handed him the crutches and they headed off to the staff car park.
Georgia took the car keys out of her school kilt pocket and clicked the 'unlock' button. Almost immediately a beeping sound followed and the blinkers on a blue Mazda CX-5 flashed. They had found their car. They waited for a break in the rain (where the rain got lighter for a split second) and rushed over to the car. Olly put the keys into the ignition and turned them, the car roaring into life. He pressed his foot down on the accelerator and they were off. Thinking the main road nearby would be busy, they started off slowly. But to their amazement, there were cars on the road, but they had all stopped. No one was in the cars, and the roads were blocked with unmoving traffic. Luckily, the traffic wasn't banked up so Olly could still manoeuvre around the vehicle obstacles. It wasn't long before they had reached the shopping centre, and they parked in the supermarket car park. Georgia bolted out of the car and into the pharmacy next door. Thinking that there would be no one there, she gasped when she saw a girl with blue hair scanning the shelves. Olly soon joined her and he too, was full of amazement.
