Every day, Mark Riley would walk by the park near the suburbs at exactly six o'clock in the morning. Just enjoying the breeze, he'd say. Until... "What's this?" Mark was your typical high school kid. Well, not exactly normal since he lived a life others would be deathly envious of considering that most girls practically worship the ground he walked on, and most guys want to be like him, or better yet, to be him. Praised by the teachers for his high grades and the son of two rich parents, his life was perfect. Or so he'd like to think. Everything changed when he picked up a special something by the park. A laptop belonging to a dead girl.

"You think vampires are hot because you want to be craved so badly that your presence sustains another person." Simon Riley had his life stolen more than once, and somehow he chose to keep standing, walking, fighting. He hadn't lost that desire to put things right in the world. It seemed other humans did sustain him, in a way. In a way he despised and railed against. But still, he clung to the fringes of their lives, driven by the idea that if he couldn't have a life of his own, the next best thing is making sure they didn't suffer the same. Eventually, someone saw him, gave him some routine, some purpose, and he clung to that like a life line. He would never have a normal life. He supposed he had never really wanted one. But every once in a beautiful blue moon, something showed up that filled him with earth-shattering, grave-digging sadness at the knowledge that it wasn't an option. CW: Check tags. There will be some blood, and talk of Simon's past trauma including SA.
