he knew there would be a chance that he’d cross paths with her again. after all , he knew she wasn’t that far off. growing up  with her and knowing ginny -- jagger knew she wouldn’t have moved far from family. even if it was to get away from the damning influence that came from his life’s choices. yes , they all made a choice -- but in the end jagger did as well. and his eyes catching her sharp features and almond eyes -- that re-ignited the ache. the love of his life , the first person he’s let down and haunted him since the night of the raid and the fearful expressions that she wore for their child’s sake. he knew she was gone before she actually left. and he remained president of the iron coffins. and like many of his choices .. it wasn’t made lightly. “ ginny . . . it’s been a while. “ he started out as lightly as possible as he approached her. “ i’ve never left clayton, it’s seen better days , but it’s good to see you. how long are you here for ? “

he knew there would be a chance that he’d cross paths with her again. after all , he knew she wasn’t that far off. growing up with the twins and knowing ginny -- jagger knew she wouldn’t have moved far from family. even if it was to get away from the damning influence that came from his life’s choices. and lately his mere existence slandered the family with misfortune. though ill-fated ; it wasn’t his intention , which made it even worse. there could have been a better way to re-route events. it would always be his burden to weigh down on his shoulders. their lives being intertwined only seemed to have led to an cursed outcome. yes , they all made a choice -- but in the end jagger did as well. and his eyes catching her sharp features and almond eyes -- that re-ignited the ache. the love of his life , the first person he’s let down and haunted him since the night of the raid and the fearful expressions that she wore for their child’s sake. he knew she was gone before she actually left. and he remained president of the iron coffins. and like many of his choices .. it wasn’t made lightly.

“ ginny . . . it’s been a while. “ he started out as lightly as possible as he approached her.

He loved to read during this time of the day. Most liked to get a few pages in before bed, but Max loved the feeling of reading with the sun beating against the back of his neck. His brows furrowed as he read over something particularly profound before he found a fairly good stopping point to put the book down and move to the designated smoking area just outside the premises. 

“Weather is not too bad today.” Max mused with a sigh to whoever had happened to be standing next to him. He lit his cigarette and took a deep inhale before letting out a cloud of smoke. “Need a light?” He offered before taking another hit. It helped quell his nerves, but he was sure smoking was what made him so nervous and anxious in the first place. “If you’re waiting to get a spot inside, it may be a while. Lunch rush with the festival and all.” Max shrugged.

the festivities certainly gave a foundation to alleviate tensions , however when the title of president weighs down heavily on one’s existence. for years he strove to do better , and there have been many occurrences where he wanted to rectify the situation between himself and gabriel. his best friend and right hand man took the blunt end of the law for him , even when he argued it. the statement always resided in his mind ‘ you could have done better’. none of it ever felt right. or taken lightly , even as he saw his friend’s face upon picking him up -- it felt like a blunt blow to the gut. so it definitely sobered his mood for celebrating. but he kept it as light as possible for the sake of the show. 

“ nah , man , i’m good - i wish i could say the same for you.  he speculated with an observant eye of the way. “ you look like a damn mess. “

where: back of the arts festival

He couldn’t help but smile as he passed families heading towards a more secluded area. It was nice seeing them out and about. It made him wish that he was able to have something special like that but that was long gone at this point thanks to both of his parents being gone. He was itching for a smoke which was why he was walking towards a quieter area to begin with. It seemed to be the unofficial designated smoking area at this thing currently. He lit his cigarette, noticing the person near him. “Didn’t wanna smoke too close to the kids ‘round here,” He noted, showing his cigarette thought that was obvious. “Some of the parents scare me.” He joked, though it was a little true. “I’m debatin’ where to go next. Which booth has the best food?”

feeling out of place in a town she once called home wasn’t an uncommon trend for her. and yet she blended in like a puzzle piece perfect for the next available slot. and returning to the town allowed her to make newer connections that didn’t tie to her past life -- and she found a blessing in that. despite meeting ones that haunt her in an uncomfortable way. but there’s a safety net in the fact -- no one really knew how much has really changed for her. where she stood and what she stood for. on her way to slip out of the festival , she didn’t expect to see liam there. “ hey -- “ a chuckle spilled from her lips at his words , “ well at least you’re considerate of the kids , don’t want to get yourself into more trouble, “ there is a teasing note in her voice as she threw a half smile in his direction. “ i’m actually on my way out , but if you’re going to any of the booths , definitely recommend the morrocan stand - it’s actually pretty neat. “

a sharp exhale and her aphotic hues lacked euphoria at the sight of isaiah. the blatant reminder of a history that has long past its expiration date is what flickered aridity in his direction. for a moment she forgot about the toggled beverage in her hand, and seconds after she downed it briefly and setting the empty glass down harsher than intended. “ who dragged you back kicking and screaming ? “ the words were laced with a curiosity that carried out with a jagged playfulness. there is a large part of her that missed him, he always had that infectious presence , and likely that will never go away. having a history never made anything quite simple for rosalind … when he left it was also at the pique of the worst set of four years of her life. . of course she had pulled herself out , blood-caked nails and bruises.  the whole gruesome image and all. but there were bigger things than herself , and she knew that if her past self had the means -- she would have been out of the clayton just as fast. so ‘ I thought you were done with us for good . “ and by us she meant the entirety of clayton.  the hurt she felt to see him again , didn’t debunk the concern of why he would be back in a place he wanted to get away from.

background facts:

born into a family of six , two parents and four siblings , his childhood home resides on the run down parts of clayton, georgia. as the oldest , he adapted to being the one looking after them while his parents put forth their time to the iron coffins. and in his eyes , he found it admirable to do what you can to make sure your family is safe. the price was his to pay.

at age fifteen the role of caretaker of his siblings became more permanent as both of his parents were murdered. grieving the loss , he made the impulsive decision to fixate himself on following in his dad’s footprints and become one of the iron coffins. no matter what it took , he refused to be helpless.

with the increased weight on his shoulders he struggled to stay on top of school , and barely managed to graduate. for the longest time in between he had been on the fence of quitting , but ultimately chose not to.

he went to a community college for his business degree and became the owner of euphoria nightclub at twenty four.

over time he fell in love with Ginny Wyatt, and they were prepared to build a life together. they had their first born out of wedlock , and by the time he reached three years old , they finally tied the knot and bought their first home together. unfortunately there is a trend in Jagger’s life , if something good happens -- never drop your guard.

he came a long way , and staked claim to the title of president of the iron coffins but that would be the start of the end to his marriage with Ginny. 

after their house became the next targeted location , his wife took their son and he wasn’t aware that he had a second child on the way.

and amidst those events , he and gabe found themselves in a predicament when a mission went south. and instead of jagger , gabriel took the fall for the event that transpired and didn’t give jagger much of a choice but to run. and that still remains on his conscience.
