The storm had come from nowhere. One minute, they were mingling and celebrating the festival', then the weather shifted, and the sirens went off. Callum had very little experience with this type of weather, so he was frozen and panicked. That panic escalated into terror as he realised that Avie had left early with her friends and their parents. The father collapsed as a wave of emotions washed over him. There was nothing he could do, and he couldn't leave as it was too dangerous, but not knowing, he felt like he might have a heart attack.
The organisers guided them all to safety and gave them jobs. Callum was tasked with finding beds for everyone alongside Colt, and the entire time, he was fighting back the tears and stress. The job gave him something to do to distract his mind, but he could barely speak. That's when he saw Harvey busy with his own task, and as he continued to look around, more friends' faces stood out. They were all in this together. Callum rubbed his forehead and let out a dry sob as he tried to fight the pain. "Fuck..." he muttered.
