[b]Hank - Medic Tent - Heather[/b]

The man huffed as Heather refused to tie the survivor's feet together. He let the zip tie fall of his hand and on the ground as he stared at her with a glazed-over look. Hank looked completely annoyed by her actions. He was trying to be rational with her again, but she just wouldn't budge. Hank didn't understand why she was always like this. Yes, they had broken up and it was complicated, but that didn't mean he deserved this treatment. He was tired to her living in the past, not trying to make things better - not even a little bit. She was a helpless case, one that couldn't be read. Hank tried everything back then and was trying again after the world ended and nothing. Either she didn't want things to get better between them, or she never cared to begin with. 

Having her finish, Hank exhaled loudly in frustration - in addition to his annoyance. Despite them having a single - unconscious - audience member, Hank proceeded by expressing himself. "Why do you always do this?!" he started, slamming his fist on the side of a metal bin. His heavy whisper had a southern tone to it, not a deep one though. "I'm trying Heather, I'm trying!" he continued, this time with his hands balled into fists. He didn't want things to be this way between them, but she seemed to like it this way. She didn't seem to want to fix anything. "You think I want it to be this way? You think I want to argue wi-" he paused as a second member joined the audience. 

He quickly loosened his fist and scratched the back of his head as he turned towards the newcomer with a smile. But as quickly as Aaliyah had entered, she once again left the tent. Hank forced himself to leave without saying anything else. Everyday he lost a little more hope that they would ever make up for what happened back then. He couldn't help but blame himself at times, but it wasn't right for her to put all the blame on him. She acted as though she had nothing to do with their departure, but she did. 

Anyhow, as Hank exited the tent, he turned towards Aaliyah and spoke. "Please make sure she gets that" he said with a smile, talking about the plate of food Aaliyah held. He cared for every single member of the group, and regardless their relationship, Heather was one of them.

[b]Seth - Campfire - Others[/b]

Seth shrugged at DeSean's response to his sudden dialogue. It was true, the little Asian man was always make things a little awkward. According to Hank and DeSean, he was always a little weird. The thing is, it was true. Seth was never known to be the popular kid during high school nor college. He had a girlfriend once and was with her for about a week before being dumped. He wasn't one who opened up to everyone except close friends. 

Fortunately for him, the people in the group had become his only friends now - or so he thought. He was always checking the girls out, even Jennifer - his friends own wife. Though nobody ever caught him because he was very sneaky with it. Only person he actually talked to about girls was Hank, seeing the man as an older brother figure. Though he knew Hank as much as DeSean, DeSean wasn't as nice. DeSean always picked on him for his minimal accent and child appearance. He got the nickname [i]Baby Seth[/i] from DeSean. Thankfully not everyone in the group called him that, it would most likely push him to his limits. 

But as both Aiden and Imogen spoke of his poor timing, the kid didn't truly care. Instead, he payed for attention to Aaliyah's brief chuckle. Since he was so naive, he believed that her chuckle was her way of flirting with him. It's funny because during most summers, Seth would travel to California until the end of that vacation. When he returned, he would always have a variety of stories about all the girls that he got. His stories would go somewhat like this: 

"Dude, guess what? I met my cousin friends at a party and they all wanted the D. I got one girl number. They were all over me dude, wanna hang out later?" 
(Not grammatically incorrect in Seth's perspective)

Anyhow, enough of the past. Once Aiden came out with that dumb ball of his, Seth smirked. But right before he was about to make a comment, Hank returned to the campfire. "Alright guys, y'all know the drill. It is..........." he paused to look at his watch then continued. "....Six-thirty, so let's get everything cleaned up. Lights out in an hour. Imogen, you've got first shift until ten. You'll rotate with DeSean, he'll rotate with me at two, then you're up again. I'm goin' to bed early tonight, so goodnight everybody. Don't forget to put out the fire" he finalized, walking towards his personal tent. 

Not everyone had the luxury of sleeping in a single tent. There was one tent that could host four people. The girls took the luxury of that one, Imogen, Aaliyah, and Heather. DeSean and Jennifer had their own. Seth's tent was united with Aiden's, but fortunately it was separated by a fabric. The two-roomed tent had been taken from an Academy store closer to town. The next day their entire system would start once again.
