" you're one to talk , " he said with a gentle smirk. stella was the most beautiful person he knew. " i'm just trying to stay worthy of your presence. " that and his work out routine was one of the only things keeping him sane in this new , crazy world.

brandon knew he had to take the crumbs of any sign of comradery and affection from riven. he wasn't the touchy - feely type , after all. " oh , trust me , i do , " he said giving him a pat on the shoulder. " it's like the closest thing you got to a love language. "

" you holding back or something ? " brandon asked , eyeing the other. " you're hardly breaking a sweat over there. "

" riven ! " the relief to see a familiar face crashed over brandon. " my man ! what's going on ? " he clapped his hand on the other's shoulder. " what is this place ? "

brandon froze as he locked eyes with the girl. could it be ??? " stella ?! " his voice rung out as he sprinted towards the other. " stella , oh my god , " he swept her up into a hug , squeezing her tight. " thank god you're here. " he put her down , only to cup her face in his hands. he scanned her every feature. " are you alright ? what is going on here ?? where is everyone ?? "
