Riley Blake was your everyday twenty year old college student. The young man rarely drew attention to himself preferring to keep in the background. Riley majored in Social Work hoping to obviously one day become a social worker himself. His mother Rachel was a social worker and Riley often took after her in many aspects of his life. His father on the other hand was the complete opposite. Jeffery Jeff Blake spent the entirety of his adult life in the US army. A no nonsense type of man he generally came across as gruff and standoffish. When it came to the generally public that was exactly his personality but with his family and close friends he would be described as lively and carefree. Riley's parent's decided to follow Ben's parents down to Florida for retirement. The two men had spent most of their young lives in the same squad before parting ways. Their families had remained close over the years even living in the same towns. The news of the outbreak quickly spread through the untied states. From the looks of it every country reported experiencing some type of outbreak. The population was warned to stay inside when possible and to disclose any information on possible outbreaks that may occur. Earlier in the week Riley heard from both of his parents briefly. The further south you were the more danger you were in particularly in the highly populated cities. Stay close to Ben. If anything happens he's gonna know what to do. Mom and I love you bud. Those were the last words he would hear from his dad before the phone lines went out. Riley knew that whatever may come he could always rely on Ben. Throughout their entire lives Ben was always there as his protector and confidant. The two shared a bond that Riley could find with no one else. Throughout the duration of their friendship Riley let Ben know he was gay. It was one of the hardest things Riley had to do in his young life at that point. Coming from a small southern town while most people were accepting Riley had to deal with his fair share of bigots. Ben was always there to remind people of their place and who was looking out for him. Riley laid in bed wondering when the next time he would hear from his parents. The door opened and in walked Ben. Riley had finished his classes for the day seeing as he only had two. When do you think everything is going to go back to normal? It's been like this for week and there is no change. Riley walked over to the other side of the room and sat down on the bed watching the news with Ben. The pair had the type of relationship where they sat on each others beds without permission and looked through each others things. The images on the news depicted people attacking each other and sickly looking people. Dear God.... Riley mumbled. Seeing as he was a gentle soul he never cared for the news as it was all death and destruction. -------------- Maggie Greene or soon to be Maggie Vigil. Maggie for most of her entire life had felt completely and utterly blessed. During her time at the University of Georgia she obtained a degree in child development and early education. Her boyfriend....Actually her fianc was offered a position with he local police force which worked in her favor. Seeing as it was a small town her elementary school teacher was getting ready for retirement. It was the perfect opportunity for her to take the open position teaching kindergarten. For Maggie she could not imagine going through life without David by her side. The two had been inseparable since meeting and once David asked her out in middle school it was a done deal. She loved him with all of her heart. Despite all that David had gone through in life Maggie admired how it didn't stop him from achieving his goals. Maggie watched what the Vigil family wen through when David's father died. Then the added heartbreak of his mothers and she doubted anyone would be able to get through it. But David not only did he do it by himself but he also made sure his sister was emotionally and financially stable. But Maggie was always there for him when he was playing football and she was a cheerleader on the sidelines. When he would wake up after having a night terror from all the things he went through she was there. All those sleepless nights during finals week she was there. For Maggie she would always stand by his side. She loved him more than words could possibly describe. Maggie finished packing her bags and went downstairs to try and find Daivd. In the other room she could hear father as he watched the news. It looked like the virus outbreak was only getting worse. The news reporter finished reading some statistics of how many people were estimated to come down with the virus. She made her way outside finally spotting David. Of course I did silly. Maggie wrapped her arms behind David leaning her head onto his muscular shoulder. Are we all packed? Or do you have to go pack more of your guns? She laughed before moving in front of him and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him in for a deep kiss.
