Scott was born and raised in Kansas. In a small rural town. The type of town where everyone knows everyone.
Ever since Scott could remember though, his family was different from everyone else's. His parents didn't sit around the dinner table at the end of the day and talk, they didn't attend any school events or any parent teacher conferences. There was a time when Scott was little, that he got teased because the other kids thought he had *no* parents from how little the school saw of them.
Scott's dad was really neglected, rude and cold, treated Scott like an acquittance or a co-worker at best rather than a son. He was never home, always working, and when he was home he either ignored Scott completely or made little judgmental comments about Scott, something he didn't ever stop doing as Scott grew older.
Scott's mother was nice and caring to Scott, but not in a mother way. More like a friend way. She didn't work, yet was always out of the house. Because her and Scott's dad weren't in a good marriage, she hated being home because she was reminded she was still with him. And that does include being reminded she was Scott's mother.
Scott quickly learned that his parents didn't really care. When he was 9, was when the hatred for his dad formed completely. The man was cold, and mean, and had no ounce of care for Scott. Suppose it made it easier for Scott to hate him that way.
But with Scott's mother it was different. She was completely heartless, still cared at least enough to make an appearance every once in a while. That's what made it worse in a way - she would leave, give Scott a reason to hate her, and then come back and reinstall hope in Scott that *maybe* she'll stick around this time. She never did. It just became a cycle he was still yet to break.
Around middle school was when Scott met them. Olivia Via and Jake. Two people that would quickly become his best friends. The trio were insuperable from the moment they met and it would stay that way until Junior break.
although him and his trio were as close as staples, he couldn't forget this one guy- girl? guy? Who knew. But they had joined his school sometime Sophomore year if he wasn't mistaken. They always sat at the back of his English class and always wore this ratty trench coat. He wasn't sure why he remembered them - maybe because of the trench coat, maybe because of all the fights they used to pick, maybe because they left just as quickly as they joined.
But before *that*, around Sophomore to Junior year was when Jake and Scott decided to date. Scott couldn't remember when they decided to or how they confessed, all he remembered was that one day they weren't and the next they were. But he could recall the build up, the trial and error, the mistakes.
Scott realized he was gay around middle school, after he and his week long girlfriend broke up, he realized he didn't actually like her. Like at all - at least in the way he should. Yeah she was cool n all, but she wasn't anything more to him. Now, Scott wasn't stupid - he knew what it meant and he knew he should never feel it. Thankfully he ended up telling Via and Jake in Freshmen year and they helped him realize that he wasn't *wrong* for feeling that way.
Him and Jake as a couple were great, they were great before and they were great after. That's the thing - they were just *great* all around. After a couple months of dating, they did realize that they were better off as friends, which they weren't wrong about.
The news of Ohio was a shock. His dad randomly coming home one day telling him and his mother to pack their bags. Apparently he got a job offer at the company he works at to work in Ohio to "help out more for the company" that just meant better pay.
Telling his friends he was moving away was probably the most heart breaking thing he could have done in his life. Moving away from his childhood, his life, and the two people he cared about most. But unfortunately good things have to come to an end.
So now here he was. Sherwood, Ohio.
i will update relationships as time goes on! (also as of writing this i'm too fucking tired for this)
