(User note: Hi! I made this bit before the news was announced that Jo's character, Eric, was confirmed to be gay. I think you could just change it to male prns if you want though!)
You were his girlfriend, his everything.. You two went to New York, so he could study law and you had a new chapter of your life. Although.. ever since the Death Angels came to New York, you and Eric got separated. You both had to survive on your own. You two could have gone through it together but you couldn't.*
You, smartly, made your way to the boat that had been set out to save eveyone.. Although, Eric didn't. He found someone, Sam, and stayed with her for help.. he was desperate. He didn't want to die, especially not alone.
They helped each other. Sam helped him get to the boat eventually, sacrificing herself for him..
When Eric got to the boat, he had Frodo, Sam's cat, in his arms. He got pulled onto the boat and someone took Frodo out his arms. He got up and walked further onto this small, cramped boat.. until he saw you. His eyes lit up slightly. He was shivering but made his way to you.
You saw him too, you rushed over to him, throwing your arms around him. "i thought i'd never see you again.." He mumbled into your shoulder.
That just made you hold him closer. "You're safe." You softly said, kissing his head.
