Roommates || Robert Reynolds {Currently being heavily edited}

Robert Reynolds

24 years old

By all appearances, Robert Reynolds was just another face in the crowd of Chicago. A man you wouldn't even look twice at. But beneath the surface, he was struggling with a severe drug addiction, depression, and big deep-rooted sense of worthlessness. He was a man with no sense of any real direction.

And, once again, due to his meth addiction, he had lost a place to stay and about his tenth job of the year. Now he was looking for a place to live, breathe, and survive in. He was looking for a sign, for someone, for anything that could help him stay alive. Because even though he hated himself most days, something in him, buried under all the mental clutter and chemical fog, wanted to survive. Maybe even change. Maybe.

Marlene Villanueva

21 years old

Marlene Villanueva was ambitious, driven, and burning with an inner fire. She had recently moved to Chicago from Texas with dreams of becoming a lawyer. She worked full-time as a paralegal while juggling night classes at Northwestern Law, doing her best to achieve her biggest dream. Her parents had cried when she left, especially her mother, but they understood her need to carve out her own path.

In contrast to Robert's chaos, Marlene's life was calculated and full of purpose. She didn't drink much, avoided partying, and took pride in staying sharp. Still, Chicago was expensive, and student loans didn't cover everything. She needed a roommate.
