We beat Ashmore, Paige did anyway. She died because of it, but she brought him down. I can't believe that she is really dead. I mean I didn't know her that well, past small talk and passing eachother a lot in the halls. Its just, you know, she was so nice and everything. Its hard to imagine her gone, even if I did see it happen. I watched as she got an arrow and a sword in her, when she asked Jack if the guy was dead. Damn. She wasn't the only one we lost either, after all the fighting we lost over fifty troops and even four cops on our side. All died saving the world. I'm not sure if I've really been hit with the fact that so many people have died. Not sure when it will hit me. Right now it just seems unreal.
The town is a mess, everything needs to be fixed up before people can be back here. The mayor wants everything to be fixed by the weekend. Which is insane. Frankly if I had say I probably would of told him to fuck the hell off. We just beat incredible odds, saved the goddamn world. And the jerk wants us to clean it up like we wanted to make the mess. At least he's being somewhat helpful, power is back in parts of the town. Its just damn, isn't the guy a bit insensitive to what we went through to make sure his craphole of a town didn't become a complete ghost town?
But yeah, cleaning up the town. Making it better for people to live in. Its a lot of work, but anything to keep from reflecting on the stuff thats happened. We work hard enough, this town will get back to how it used to be, before the earthquake and everything else. True I never saw it before the earthquake, but I'm sure if we work hard enough, we can make it better. Just not by the mayor's whacko timeline. But soon, Kim's talking about finally doing the plan to go to Ireland when this is all over, and bringing Jack too. Which its all good, as long as I get to Ireland and get to vacation for awhile. Because dude, I actually sorta got along with Sean through all of this, and I know that's not going to last long now that the danger is over.
