Riley Delta can't seem to keep her head above water.
As an art student lacking in inspiration and living off of sad minimun wage, she can barley keep up with her physical life, let alone her mental life. She's coping how she can, burying herself in shifts at The Rough Grind and surfing in between class, but some how her memories seem to always find a way to drown her in an ocean of anxiety, no matter how fast she swims away from them.
Jeremiah Rolend can't seem to focus on himself.
His family is never away from his thoughts, no matter how many times they tell him not to worry. He is weighted with a guilty conscience from his past, and moments from his present, only pushing through his college years at the request of his younger brother. He knows his problems are not his own, but he somehow he keeps taking them onto himself, no matter how much he knows he shouldn't.

Gem in the Rough
"Did you know that you just pull me in? I can't stop thinking about you." Kieran's eyes are shut, his head against the back of the couch, while making his confession. I guess he had moved in the few moments I'd been in my own thoughts. "Is that a bad thing? I feel it too." He opens one eye and grins. "No, I don't think so. I just don't know if I'm ready." "Ready?" It's silent for a few moments before I feel his warm, rough palm on my bare thigh. It's like all my senses are ignited when he touches me. All I can feel is his hand, all I can smell is his beautiful manly scent, and all I can see is him in front of me, the rest of the world invisible. "Is it okay that I'm touching you?" I let out a deep breath and lean closer, whispering near his ear. "Is it okay that I want you to touch me more?" Kieran's eyes open, his blazing blues stare into my dark brown ones, a slight growl coming from his throat. That growl will be the death of me. -- Gemma is a junior in college who is focused on work and school. There's no time for anything else according to her father and it begins to weigh on her heavily.
