Welcome to the life of Liam St. James. Your local bartender with a dark wink in his eyes as he mixes your drinks. He seems to have everything under control, his life, his economy and his future. He can make you soft, even obsessive by just smiling and giving you a couple of compliments.
His childhood was never easy though. As a newborn, his 2 year old practically sister had to take care of him, because of their parents absence, which obviously didn't turn out well. A baby cannot take care of another baby. He is the second oldest out of 5 children. Why did they ever have him, when they couldn’t even take care of his sister? A question he’s asked himself thousands of times. When his parents were too busy to look after him, he got locked inside his room, which was almost all the time. They would give him food three times a day and lock the door again, just like he was a prisoner. Till this day, he still fears those four walls. He hates them and how they controlled everything that he did as a child.
When he started at school, he often had to find home by himself and often his parents had simply forgotten to give him any food, he would go home hungry. Teachers never asked questions, they knew about the wealth his parents possessed. Once he got home from school, he would often get locked inside his room once more. His parents being to busy to take care of any of them, meaning that him and his 4 siblings grew close - they were all each other had.
As he got older, he got angrier. He wrecked his whole room in a fit of rage, and his father would come up and hold him down while he cried. Never giving him a hug, never telling him to calm down, just hold him down. Heartless. Just as he is today. He looks more and more like his father - a man he had promised to never become.
He moved out when he was 19 years old, got a job at the local bar and lives alone in an apartment. Still traumatized at an age of 24; mentally he will always be trapped inside those 4 walls he grew up in. He never sees or talks to his parents. He is simply too traumatized to go back to his childhood home.
On the outside Liam looks like your dream guy. Once you start to get to know him, he will hold the door for you, he listens and offers his coat if it's cold. Of course, that never lasts long. Once he starts dating women, power and dominance takes over. He doesn't fall in love, he gets obsessive. Not letting his girlfriends speak to other boys, always have to have control over what she's wearing and he needs to know exactly where she is 24 hours a day. Of course, he would never speak of it, but it all goes back to his childhood, where he had no control over himself. This is his way of dealing with his traumas. Getting back his control.
Believe it or not, Liam can be a good friend. He accepts, listens and he will pick you up at 3am if you're stuck. Honestly, the few friends he has would never believe his actions of love and see him as a bad boyfriend. His power is setting up the mask, making the nightmare look like a fucking fairytale. -
