god, she didn’t want company. that’s why she had to leave her last hideout; too many people kept finding where she was. “oh.” was all she murmured before taking a long inhale, holding the smoke in her lungs before blowing it out slowly. her eyes flickered over to him and she shrugged. “i lost my spot in the west wing of the school last year so i went on a hunt for a new place and here i am.” she leaned against the wall and took another hit before raising her brows. “good. i try to keep a low profile.”
He wasn’t looking at the other, but rather out the window and he nodded. “Well no one knows about this place but me, so you’re safe. I bet we won’t run into each other again, so no worries.” MJ said before taking another hit and blowing it out the window before looking out. The girl was obviously annoyed or he would have made a move. There was still time to do that but he was going to lay low for a few before he did. “I’m MJ by the way.”
the blonde needed an escape from whatever required class she was supposed to be in. all she wanted to do was rehearse with her band and play her drums. and to have a joint. so, noel snuck out to the back of the school, where an old building was and hid in one of the bathrooms to smoke. it wasn’t until she was halfway done with her joint that some random guy walked in. “how the fuck did you find this place?” noel questioned with a raised brow.
“me? this has been my place for years before I even came to the school even. I live in this town.” Miles said and rose an eyebrow. “How did you find this place?” he asked, pulling out a joint of his own and jumping on the windowsill. He opened the window so the smoke wouldn’t be trapped in and leaned against the wall behind him. “I've never seen you here before.”
Did you see MILES “MJ” MORETTI today? I hear he’s only TWENTY and in their FIRST YEAR at the school. Some say they can be quite RELAXED AND LOYAL but are also known to be BLUNT AND NARROW-MINDED. HE told me they are majoring in WRITING and emphasizing in HORROR FICTION. I’ve always thought he looked a lot like ASH STYMEST.
Alright this is MJ and I love him with all of my heart.
Okay so basically, MJ grew up in a very difficult household
TRIGGER WARNING- I WILL MARK WHEN DONE
MJ’s mother was very into drugs, anything she could get her hands on, and she was cheating on his dad but he didn’t know any of this until she walked out when he was five.
TRIGGER WARNING OVER
He took her leaving really hard and closed himself off a lot. The only people he would be open to was his family, and even then he usually didn’t tell them everything he was feeling.
He tried to help as much as he could around the house, seeing as it was just him, his sister and his dad.
He knew that his dad took things hard and so did his sister and as much as he wanted to protect them, MJ had a lot of internal emotions he never really dealt with inside.
So he decided to pour all of his dark thoughts into writing. He twisted things so they were creepier and more fictional but everything he was writing was some part of the emotions he was feeling.
He’s entered a bunch of writing contests and gotten placed in them for his writing, wanting to validate himself. He also draws everything for his stories but he wanted to focus more on the writing aspect here at Westbrook.
It all came crashing down when his sister left for Westbrook. For years he had just been shoving all his emotions inside of him and inside his stories but he wasn’t dealing with anything.
TRIGGER WARNING STARTS HERE
When Bille-jo left, MJ couldn’t handle it. It felt like another person leaving and while he knew he could still see her and talk to her, it was like everything that he’d been holding back exploded.
MJ started partying hard. He liked the rush and the environment that being in these parties gave him. Parties were like his escape from the world, he didn’t have to think while he was there.
One day someone offered him to experiment with drugs and while internally he knew he shouldn’t, he just wanted to be numb for a little.
That was the start of a long run with them and he would always sneak out of the house to go to these parties, not telling his dad or his sister what he was getting himself into.
Eventually his dad caught him and he said that he either had to go to westbrook and be with his sister and stop what he was doing or go to rehab.
He still struggles with the want to do drugs but he’s been smoking and that’s helped for now.
TRIGGER WARNING ENDS
He chose westbrook, which his dad was glad about since he could reconnect with his writing.
He still hasn’t told Billie-jo anything and doesn’t plan on, not knowing if their dad had said anything, but he is excited to surprise his sister and be around her again.
MJ is hella blunt about everything. He pretty much hates everyone that isn’t family and will tell you exactly what he’s thinking at all times.
He doesn’t really believe in love, seeing what his mom did to his dad, but he’s open to it if the right person came along.
MJ still pushes all of his emotions inside of him and in his writing and it would take a really special person to open him up.
