INSIDE YOU, DON'T
-
A broken relationship. They were never allowed, never public. Sure his mother couldn’t hide it any longer when she got pregnant. His parents being extremely young - and couldn’t be any more different from one another. His father being a bully around town, he was one to fear. And his mother, well, her parents demanded full custody over him, wished that he nor his mother would never see his father ever again. She agreed. If she hadn’t, he would have been put in foster care for the rest of his childhood.
His mothers age never played a part. She was the best mother one could have wished for, and well, growing up in his grandparents big mansion wasn’t so bad either. While he lived his best live with servants and love around him, his father was left to himself on the other side of the town; kicked in and out of jail. And while his son didn’t miss a crumb in his stomach, he fought for his live.
Of course, he heard stories. About his father. About how he should never be like him. Already at the age of 5, his mother made him that promise. He didn’t even know what he promised. Not until he was older. And the older he got, the more he looked like him. Not just by the looks, but also on the inside. Growing a dark side, he always told himself it was caused by bullying. He struggled a lot in school, socially. He never fit in.
Already at the age of 8, his temper was violent. Reacting by smashing the house heavily, once he didn’t get things his way.
One thing always remained the same: his love for his mother. Even though she was young and inexperienced, she always took care of him when he came home with a failing test or a black eye. She was never proud of him, but still, she was supportive.
17 when everything changed. A car crash killing his mother and grandparents and for the first time in his life, he was on his own with no place to go. Not owning a penny, everything had gone to his cousin he had never even met. Living on the street for a few weeks, until he finally took to the one place he would have a chance: at his fathers.
25 years old today, still living with his fathers in a hellhole. His criminal father learning him things he never thought he would be able to.
Always been a smart guy, he’s earned his mothers brain and his fathers temper. For over 6 years he’s lived with the man he swore he would never become. He have given 1 promise in his whole life - and he has broken it.
A fantastic liar, a charmer and a thief; he will steal your heart - and your wallet. He lives on the edge, but under his living circumstances, it’s necessary. Stealing from the rich, they won’t even notice.
Cold hearted, it’s a facade. He will never forget where he comes from; the complete opposite of where he is today, and deep down he will always be a mama's boy. But he also remembers how everything he owned or had disappeared in just a few seconds. And that makes him angry. So angry.
Knowing what he wants and what to avoid: love is one of the things on the list. A life like his would never be a great suit for a girlfriend, besides he would never repeat his parents story.
