Eddie Darwin: Tyler met Eddie in college and she was like nothing he’d ever witnessed before. She lived in New York her whole life and it showed. His small town mind was no match for her wit and aggression. Like it always goes, he pathetically fell for her and it took years but she did too. They made each other candlelit dinners and danced with no music and all that cheesy romantic shit until he proposed. Almost done with grad school, he thought it made sense. He never wanted anything to change between them but he guessed she didn’t ever see it that way. Just like his deadbeat mom, she picked up and left one day. Half of their apartment just ripped from the walls. He’s never seen her since, and still hasn’t recovered.
👊 - A Best Friend
Louis Adams: They were probably only ever friends because of how few people there were to choose from in their hometown but they were friends nonetheless. Louis couldn’t be anymore different than Tyler, he fit the dumb jock standard to a T. His big plan was to live it up as a high school football star and then take over his dad’s liquor store business after graduation. He made a joke out of everything and Tyler appreciated that a lot because of how dull and grim his home life was. Louis was an only child and his mom died when he was really young. With his dad almost always at the liquor store, he had ample amount of time to spend with Tyler. Coming from a family of men who didn’t care about him, Tyler really cherished Louis and treated him like a brother. Louis was always there to calm him down and support him in his big city dreams. In turn Tyler would try to push him to apply for colleges too, banking on football to get him places because he was good. That spark of an idea was shot down when Louis was hit by a drunk driver coming home from practice one night. He was severely hurt with multiple broken bones and a lot of blood loss. The doctors told him he was lucky he could walk still, so football wasn’t going to be an option. Now Louis lives with his same old liquor store dream, a little more weary of it because of the ‘what if.’ He’ll live on that his whole life. He’s probably the only thing Tyler misses about Oklahoma.
🍀 - Someone Lucky
Cassie Lane: The Lane family was probably the richest family anyone knew in a 500-mile radius from where they grew up. The kind of rich that got each kid a new Mercedes at 16, had a pool house, and wore Michael Kors in high school. Her dad owned basically everything in the state of Oklahoma. In the same grade as Tyler, he never talked to her other than in passing but honestly he didn’t want to. His family was the simple kind. They farmed and they took their paycheck. Though he wanted more, he was still proud to be apart of the working class. He was part of the trailer trash side of town and they didn’t associate with the Lane family type. Other than the year Cassie decided she wanted to make her way through the football team, but Tyler wasn’t falling for it. He was envious of her in that she never had to worry, she had it easy fro birth and she always would. That’s what he thought luck was.
01: DO YOU HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PARENTS?
— “I wouldn’t say I’ve got a relationship with me parents at all, let alone a good one.”
12: HAVE YOU EVER STAYED UP 48 HOURS?
— “Loads of times. Sleep and I don’t exactly see eye to eye the vast majority of the time, to be quite honest, so while I wouldn’t call it like, typical or anything, it does happen.”
15: HAVE ANY PETS?
— “Sadly, no. I’m a bit tight on the money front. Couldn’t reliably take care of ‘em, and that wouldn’t be fair. I’d love to get a dog someday though.”
i played football for a few years when i was younger. but i ended up breaking my elbow at one point, so i never went back to it after that. not on a team at least.
27. EVER MADE OUT IN THE BATHROOM?
i have, actually. yeah. twice. but i can’t tell ya who i made out with because i was too drunk to remember any facial features or really anything else.
59. DO YOU LIKE THE SNOW?
uh, yes and no? i like watching it fall and i like how pretty it looks when it covers over everything. and it makes the world seem much more quiet for a little while. but i hate when it looks all gross and lingers on the sides of the roads.
