HISTORY OF: JACK ROSEWOOD
TW: DRUGS, ABUSE
Ever since Jack could remember, he had been taking care of his younger brother, Jacob. When he was six, Jacob was two. He didn’t know why his mother was gone or locked in her room, and he didn’t really wonder. He just took care of Jacob. He doesn’t know if he took care of Jacob before six, as he can’t remember past then, but all he remembers is filling bottles and reading to him the best he could at night.

When Jack turned eight and Jacob four, Jack found his mother hunched over the dining table after walking home from school. He turned around and with an innocent Jacob, calmly walked out of the house and to the park. This became a regular thing. Jack managed to keep Jacob from seeing it. Their mother had new boyfriends every month, but one finally stuck. Jack, now ten, taught Jacob, six, how to dial 9-1-1 or scream if anything happened to either of them. Especially at night. He cooked meals and still read to Jacob every night.
At his school’s library, he fell in love with computers. He could type quicker than anyone else. He learned simple mechanics, then more complex mechanics … His teacher even gave him some tips for basic coding. This inspired a lifetime love for computers.
Their mother’s boyfriend moved into the house. Jack, eleven, began to challenge his authority. He was always the man of the house. He always told Jacob what to do. This man was overstepping boundaries – trying to control him and Jacob. So, Jack back talked and refused to do whatever he was told. His mother’s boyfriend began to use him as his personal ashtray and, when arguments got too heated, beat him. Jacob never witnessed it.
A week after Jacob’s eighth’s birthday, the boys walked into a quiet house. Jack walked into the dining room and found his mother in her pose: slumped over the table, white masking her skin from the bridge of her nose to her neck. Her boyfriend was on the floor, also whitened. Jack only blinked and turned to take Jacob out of the house, but Jacob stood in the doorway. His eyes were wide and his pupils were small. He finally made a small squeak and ran to the phone on the wall. Jacob dialed 9-1-1 and through slurred speech, gave his address and screamed about how his mom looked dead. Jack only watched his brother before turning to the fridge to start on dinner.
The boys were taken to an emergency foster care home. The couple was a nice old pair of ladies who owned lots of dogs. It was nice, and it helped a now nonverbal Jacob come out of his shell again. They lived here for a year before a couple took interest in Jacob. They were only interested in Jacob. Upon learning that Jack wouldn’t follow, Jacob threw a fit. He sobbed and screamed, saying he can’t have Jack leave. “I can’t eat,” He cried. “Without him, I can’t eat. I can’t sleep.” After days of Jacob locking himself in his room, refusing to leave with the young couple with a house on the seaside, Jack was overcome with anger. In another attempted meeting, he banged on Jacob’s door and yelled about how he didn’t want to see him anymore. He had been taking care of Jacob his whole life, why would he want to even see him any longer? Why does he get the family? “You’ll be able to eat just fine. Eat – you’ll be able to eat just fine. And finally, without you, I’ll be able to sleep just fine. Can’t you see? I don’t want to take care of you. I don’t want to care for you. I don’t care about you!” He screamed into the door and turned to stomp into his room. Minutes later, Jacob’s door creaked open. He silently walked to his new family and left without a word.
That night, Jack sobbed into his foster mothers’ arms until he fell asleep the next afternoon from exhaustion.
At sixteen, Jack was finally adopted by a couple who were biological geniuses. His new father is an obstetrician and his new mother is a forensic scientist. They are completely capable of fueling his coding and computer addictions, as well as his higher education. They call Jack their pride and joy. They give Jack anything he could ever want, but secretly, Jack resents it. He feels it’s wasted.
He is still smothered in regret over what he said to his brother. He made no attempt to contact Jacob, and neither did Jacob to him. It’s a touchy subject, and you can count on a mangled hand how many people know. His only friends are Poppy Versace and his parents.

His parents took him to doctors who immediately diagnosed him with borderline bi personality disorder. He called bullshit. They said, "Exhibit A." Therapy never went well and he never talked about anything useful, but he learned how to open up and actually enjoy things. He became a jokester. He has a way with words that no one would have guessed he would obtain. To distract himself (and others) from his past, he pulls a goofy flirt persona to enjoy himself and to possibly allow himself to socialize.

Biography

Violet lemon’s biological parents sucked. That’s the only way to put it. Her parents gave her up to the foster system when she was just three years old. They were maniacs who gave up their only child to start a rock band that never even stepped off of the ground. Violet always hoped that her parents would come for her and whisk her away into their arms and never apologize for leaving her in that diary old foster home. Unsurprisingly that never happened. That’s probably why she grew up to be a big ball of rage.

Violet found her “forever home” when she was 15. Lemon is not her real last name, Wood is. Lemon is the name she got when she got adopted by the lemons. she hated it and she still hates it but as much as she would never admit it, it made her feel like she belonged. The name lemon grew on her.

tw murder, torture mention, gang activity
biography: luka had never been a chatty person. he hadn't interacted with his mother and father very much as a toddler, and as an only child, the only company he had was the butler. he grew up rich. he got what he told his parents he wanted; ink wells, feather pens, parchment paper ... everything a tiny poet could want. what he really, truly wanted, was to be with his father.
it wasn't until he was eight years old until his father finally invited him out. the small esposito was excited: were they gonna play ball? were they gonna go to a movie? he sat in the back seat of his father's car and twiddled his thumbs as he gazed out the window, counting the parks and malls they passed. this had to be good.
his father parked at a river. it was a strangely warm winter day that whispered about spring. were they going to fish? the river was flowing and rushing from the mountain's melting snow. luka crawled out of the back seat of the car. his father beckoned him to the trunk. when he stood at the tire, his father opened the trunk. there was a squirming sack. it was longer than the trunk; bent in some places. red stained one end of the fabric. luka blinked before his father patted his back.
"this'll be heavy for you, but you can hold his feet."
luka nodded and did as he was told. the bag jerked even more. clicking noises came from the other end. it was ridiculously heavy -- the heaviest thing luka had ever carried. he had dropped his end multiple times, causing his father to curse in italian. "wrap your arm around it, boy," he said.
they approached the river's railing, and his father took over, lifting the bag onto the thin metal surface. he attached small iron weights along the sack's stitching line. "push with me."
luka locked his eyes on the bag, and then his father. together, they pushed the heavy, squishy, squirming bag off of the railing. it fell with a loud sploosh.
luka's father lit a cigarette. "okay, son," he started walking to the car.
"are we going fishing, father?" luka asked, not moving.
"no."


as the years went on, his father included him in more and more of his business. there was a small itching in his brain, but luka just wanted to spend time with his parents. luka trained to fight, to shoot disks ... he finally began to catch on at age ten.
his father took him out to witness an execution. instead of a lumpy bag, it was a man tied up, facing a wall, with a pillowcase over his head. his hands were tied. his father held the gun to the back of the masked man's head when his mother, in the corner of the room, said, "why doesn't luke do it?" through a puff of her cigarette. luka's father grinned and his men laughed, patting luka on the shoulders.
the cold metal gun was heavy in his hands. he looked at the man who knelt before him. his breathing was steady. he was still.
luka wasn't stupid. the years taught him what death was. he knew that a bullet in the head was fatal.
did the man?
why isn't he screaming?
why did the man by the river not scream?
why did the man by the river drown?
why are we giving this man mercy?
luka started to shake. he cocked the gun and slowly raised it to the man's head. the man didn't flinch. his breathing didn't change. luka's did. in through the nose, out through the mouth ... it suddenly was in through the mouth, out through the mouth ... it suddenly was in out in out in out ... it suddenly was cough because his nose was filled with snot and his mouth had tears falling to his lips ... it suddenly was him shaking his head and screaming no, daddy, no, please, he's not scared, he's --
"do it,"
mommy, why isn't he screaming? daddy, why didn't that man scream?
"do it, son."
i can't, daddy -- he isn't a bird or a disk -- he isn't a target he's real he's breathing --
a loud bang erupted right next to luka's right ear and then his whole world began to rang. it rang and rang. it rang for hours.
it only rang.
when the ring died off he could only hear his own screaming. then his father's. his eyes were shut so tight he could see red behind his eyelids. he felt the cold concrete of his family's basement on his skin. was he on the floor?
he finally opened his eyes and found red and pink spread across the wall in front of him.


he woke up in his own bed, a week after the incident. apparently, he had been asleep for days. days that followed even more days of him screaming and crying. his mother had hired a doctor to come to the house and give him a sedative to put him to sleep.

luka doesn't remember much until he turned 15. he went to school at day. he read and wrote in the afternoon. he faught at night. some nights, it wasn't even for his father. it was just because he wanted to.
he always wanted out of his father's gang.
the reason why the man didn't scream at the river was that his father had his vocal chords torn out. the reason why the man in the room didn't scream was that he was their butler. he must have seen it coming.
luka finally escaped when he moved for college. it was a prestigious writing school. the only ones his parents would accept. they sent him off with a huge dinner party. associates were invited. police officers were invited. city officials were invited ... it was like a ball. but luka couldn't wait to get out.


at college, he met anissa. it was by accident. the whole thing was an accident. it was an amazing accident. luka never made a mistake in his whole life, but this one provides a warmth he never had. it's still rough around the edges and confusing to the both of them, but her presence softens luka. changed him for the better.
