it felt like the entire world had come to a halt. and it had, for the most part. riley got laid off, just like half the people she worked with. classes had been cancelled for the day, then the next day, then the next day.
spring break wasn't supposed to be like this. her and erin were supposed to sleep in all week and have fun at three am, forgetting any worry they had.
erin had been over most days since march 12th. the first few nights were filled with questions. 'what if' scenarios and red wine that riley was too young to drink.
the past few nights had been mostly the same. some stupid, unfunny comedy show playing on tv while erin sobbed into riley's shirt, crying 'i'm not gonna graduate. i've worked so hard and i'm not gonna graduate' for hours until she fell asleep, cuddled into riley's legs.
riley was worried, truly, even more so when her dad texted her out of the blue, saying how scared he was for his wife and kids, and how he wanted her to come back home.
but she couldn't just abandon texas, could she?
i mean, it had most things now. her apartment, her school, her friends, her cat, her job.
she couldn't just leave it all. besides, it's not like she could just hop on a plane. she'd have to drive, and making that trip alone with a cat didn't sound like a fun idea.

it's riley's turn to cry, dropping her phone onto her chest and shoving her head into her hands.
she doesn't really want to wake up erin, who's still cuddled in her legs, but that effort proves fruitless as she stirs, eyes fluttering open. once they land on riley, she's awake. she pulls her into a tight hug, letting the younger girl sob into her shoulder.
"it's ok, baby," she assures, scooching up to pull riley closer into her, "it's gonna be ok."
