Griffin and Lincoln POV

            We were on the highway God it was packed it was like everyone wanted to leave the city. I scoffed 'as if' I said to myself. this city was my home. I could never leave this place. I look over to Lincoln jamming out to music I look at him and laugh at how stupid he is. "So, what are we gonna do today?" I asked, very soon after I heard an explosion nearby and see smoke in the distance at the mall he looked at me and grabbed my hand 

            "Let's go see if they need help." He said, squeezing my hand for assurance. We drive over the highway forever because of all the traffic and abandoned cars. We finally got there and saw this girl was at the door of the mall. She was the only one around, it looked like she was talking to someone. All of a sudden she closed the door really fast and tripped on something she fell, not lasting long before passing out. We ran over and I checked her pulse. We put her in the car and took her to our loft.

 What's happening? why are the roads packed only leaving the city not going in? Why are people ditching their cars? It makes no sense. I looked over to see Lincoln biting his nails. I walk over to him, rubbing his back. "Babe, what's wrong?" I asked, he looked up at me. 

“Yeah just have this feeling, that something bad's going to happen,” he said walking over to the girl. All of a sudden she shot up, making us both flinch. She was hyperventilating and put her hand to her chest.  

"Wh- who are you?" She asked, scared we were gonna hurt her so she backed up from Lincoln when he tried to give her water. 

"I'm Joey but people call me Griffin. This is my boyfriend Lincoln. How about you?" I ask the girl.

“My name is Amelia, people just call me Amelia,” she said as she laughed. 

I gave Amelia a soft smile "we saw you rush outta the mall earlier. What did you see?" Lincoln asked. 

She looked at me scared, “ i- it was a-a p-person but he looked d- dead? " She said. "Like there were bites taken out of him, I was horrified so I closed the door then I tripped and hit my head, next thing I knew I was passed out and woke up here." 

“Oh well if you need anything just ask, do you need to call someone? It’s pretty bad out there, I think it’d be best if you stay here but it's up to you” Lincoln said. 

“I think it will be best if I stay here, I don't have anyone to call, maybe I can stay till the streets are better maybe but it’s up to you?” she asked. 

"Yes, yes of course as long as you need hun." I smiled, deep down nervous about the future and if she was ever going to go home.
