CHARACTER BIO
Drug TW, Abandonment TW, Injury TW, Cheating TW
Emmett wasnât born into a born with a silver spoon in his mouth, no if anything it was the opposite. Feedings were often sporadic or minimal when his addict mother remember to feed him. He didnât care, he knew he would get out of the hell hole that was Myrtle Beach, Florida. His father was long gone but his mother kept bringing in more siblings for him to take care of until he eventually couldnât do it anymore. He had to become selfish and think of himself. Emmettâs only ticket out was his basketball skills, it made him stand out among his peers and got him noticed by recruiters, the only one that he was interested in and the only one he even gave more than a fraction of his time was Duke.
With the offer of a full ride in exchange for being the point guard, he accepted it and loved being the head of the team. College was the best time for him, it opened new doors for him and friends who in any other time or place would have pushed him off like the Florida scum that he was. Joining a fraternity was another high point that just added to the lifestyle that was offered to him. He walked around campus with his head high and his blonde girlfriend on his arm. His grades were shit, thatâs what happens when all he needed to keep his scholarship was a 2.0, but it didnât matter, not when his plan was to join the NBA right after Duke. But the funny thing about plans is that they never go exactly how you want them to, the win was almost so close that he could taste it, his ticket to be a professional basketball player was in his hand, all he had to do was just win the last damn game. His knee had a much different plan when it decided to give out and dislocate during warm ups and the pain shot down his leg. It was the worst pain he ever knew, and in an instant everything that was handed to him was gone. His team lost, his future gone and the blonde girlfriend by his side now just hanging by a thread.
His life settled into a routine, the job offer from the NBA morphed into a job offer from his girlfriendâs father, and his fame was traded in for rehab. His job was easy enough, all he had to do was scout locations for new gyms and open them up and then move on to the new town. His future father-in-law wanted to build an empire that spanned from coast to coast and he knew Emmett was the one to do it. He was more than happy to be away from Grace, unlike her name, the shrillness of her voice became more and more annoying every day he was beside her. Itâs how he ended up in LA, the opportunity to buy his own gym under the familyâs franchise was almost too good to be true and Emmett being who he was jumped at the chance.
