Prologue:

"911, what's your emergency?" a female dispatcher asked.

"Please help me!" a teenager girl whispered loudly through her cellphone, choking it out through tears.

"What's the problem?" the woman asked, her voice a bit more stern.

"He's going to get me, please hurry," the teen cried.

"Please calm down. Who's going to get you?"

"I-It's my Dad... I don't know what happened... he kept vomiting b-blood and screaming. When he woke up he went after my Mom and he-"

The dispatcher could hear a door crash open on the other end of the phone, followed by screaming which came from the girl. Something must of grabbed her after that, causing her to drop her phone because after the screaming there was dead silence.

"Hello," the dispatcher said, "Ma'am are you still there?" The woman was only greeted with silence.

Day 0

Author's Note: This prologue is supposed to be "Day 0" meaning that this is the day when things really started happening. It's not suppose to be the first call that 911 has recieved like this, but it is one of the many.
Now that I've said all of that, hello, Awesomestprime8 speaking: it's been forever since I've typed an H.O.T.D. fanfic. Now that I got all of my shit together, I am back bitches! So this is a S.Y.O.C. story called "the D.E.A.D." meaning "the Depression, the Extermination, the Assault, the Dying" which are the four movements in the zombie apocalypse.

HISTORY

Background: Greg was born in Detroit, Michigan with his Mother and Father. He had a lonely childhood; his parents worked a lot so they were never home to really take care of him and he was almost always either at school or in daycare. Growing up, he lived in a very bad neighborhood full of poverty, crime, gang violence and drug trafficing. His parents never let him play outside because of it. Greg never really minded staying indoors all the time, most of the kids in his elementary school were mean and involved in the wrong types of crowds, and he never fit in much to begin with because he wasn't involved in it. Around third grade and above, Greg had a hard time figuring out the difference between like and love in a friendly or romantic way. He loved everyone equally as a friend but displayed his love in sexual ways, which confused his friends, eventually driving them away. He felt love had no gender, and thus loves boys and girls. Because his parents weren't around to explain to him the differences, he figured he was doing everything wrong and in the end just surpressed those type of emotions in. He was bullied from fourth grade through seventh grade because he use to be chubby, pansexual and had low grades. He then developed insomnia due to the depression. He started taking anti-depressants and sleeping medications to subdue the pain, often relying on the guidance councler for advice. When he turned eleven, his mom gave birth to his little sister Emily. Greg often found himself taken care of her rather than his own parents and eventually became very protective of her. He saw her like she was his own daughter. In the meantime, he became more and more pressured and depressed when it came to having low grades, taking care of his sister and being bullied. The anti-depressants were no longer working and he'd go days without any sleep. He tried doing things like playing guitar and singing (which he found he was really good at it) to forget about life, but it didn't work. He'd cut himself from time to time too so he could forget about everything but stopped when he saw that Emily was taking notice to his actions. Feeling their was no escape from things, by eigth grade Greg tried to kill himself. He'd tried to overdose on pills when his parents realized what he'd done and took him to the hospital. Once he recovered, they gave him therapy and tried to give him more attention. Greg then developed a smoking habit which substituted the use of antideppressants. He found that smoking calmed him down more than the pills and usually did it in secret, hiding it from his family. After the attempt of suicide, Greg viewed life differently. He became very passive and stopped caring about things a normal person would worry about. He took up guitar and singing lessons, hoping to be a musician when he grew up. Because of the smoking, he lost a lot of weight and eventually joined a few sports to become healthier. When Greg was a sophomore, his father's job moved out to California where they eventually moved to. Being he was now attending a new school, Greg decided to not share any of his background with anyone and rather let his personality speak his character more than himself in words. He joined the lacrosse team in hopes of making friends but due to his dark atmosphere and rude personality, he only managed to make a couple. By his senior year, he was close to graduating with a 3.5 GPA, was in the Lacrosse team as well as a few clubs and had started a band with a couple of people.

School Status: the Loser

PERSONALITY

Personality: Greg's very sassy and sarcastic, which makes people think he's rude when in reality he's pretty friendly and nice. He's humorous too, which tends to annoy others. He's passive but not apathetic; It may look like on the outside that he doesn't care or that he's visibly not in concern of (i.e.) a drastic event but inside it actually impacts him greatly. He's learned to surpress a majority of his sad emotions inside and often keeps it to himself. Greg is also very talkactive if you give him a chance to speak and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. He'll point out if you're wrong and share his opinion on the matter. He's very liberal and is open to change (just about embraces it). He's smart too, but tends to not show it. Besides talking about his past, Greg is very honest and open, you won't have to worry about him lying to you. Due to taking care of his sister, Greg's first instict around women is to protect (though he'll stand up and defend anyone, even if he doesn't know them). He has a sense of justice and equality for everyone and believes in it trully. Greg has a hard time expressing his emotions due to the lack of attention from his parents and being bullied. He can easily express anger and tends to become sad when he knows he's alone, but when it came to romantic emotions he always had a hard time expressing it. When it comes to crushes or love, he's shy, timid and nervous. He believes that love has no shape or form and will love anyone that makes him happy. Greg is also religious, though he chooses not to talk about it with others (for obvious reasons). Overall though, Greg's a pretty easygoing guy.

Love Interest: Believes that love has no shape or form so tends to like anyone who makes him happy. He likes people who are kind, understanding and just as liberal as him about life. Really anyone who doesn't care about what others think and is free spirited and funny will immediately catch his eye. He's like a dog when it comes to love and will devote all his efforts into the person he cares for.
