Dad wanted to go around the neighbourhood and check if everybody was all right. I really wanted to go with him. I asked him so much he ended up not going. I felt bad about it. We brought the chairs over to the safest place outside the house for Nan and Pop to sit on. I was having breathing problems because of the trauma of the event. Mum had to race inside to get my inhaler.
A few hours later Aunty Ady and Uncle Chris arrived to take Nan and Pop up to Nelson. I really didn't want to stay in Christchurch so I went up with them as well. My parents and my brother were crying as the car drove away. I started crying too.

Eves Earthquake diary
26.02.2011
Dear diary
As I walked to the field i saw the wall of my own class just collapse. I couldn't talk for a while. I sat down on the field, shocked. My dad came racing down to get me and my brother. When I saw him a little light came to my heart. I ran to him as fast as i could and leaned against him and he said is everything all right? Is anybody hurt? "No," I said. "Go to the car and I will go get your brother" but i turned looking at my friends who were still sitting on the field. Then I turned back and walked to the car while the ground was still shaking underneath me.
Because i was frightened my dad drove me and my brother home. I ran through the door and stopped, not moving a muscle. I was moving slowly, then dad said, "Be quick, there might be another earthquake. So I walked down the stairs. My house was trashed. All the photos have fallen down, all my mums life's work (folders) and books has fallen. I saw my nan and pop and ran to them. Nan started crying, and held me tight.

Eve's Earthquake Diary
Dear diary,
My grandparents arrived a few days a go from Nelson. My parents kept it a secret from me. It was a big surprise when they came. But there were other surprises that were about to be revealed.
I was walking to school as usual and every thing felt the same. Swimming sports were happening. I came first in back stoke and the finals as well. I didn't realize this would be the last time in the pool. The bell rang and the teacher let us off for lunch. My friend and I finished eating and were enjoying swinging on the monkey bars. Suddenly there was a rumble beneath us and it was making me jump up and down on the monkey bars. I was screaming so hard it hurt. I looked to my left and saw the bolt loosening from the metal bar I was clinging to. All of a sudden the sense came to me and I knew that if I didn't let go now I would definitely fall with it. I finally let go and fell flat on my back with a thud. With my back in pain I stood up looking around me and seeing all the kids screaming with fear. All I could hear was crying. I was terrified. More than that it was like my greatest fears coming to life. I thought that earthquakes were all over. I was crying. I didn't known what to do. The teachers came out and they all said go to the field.
