gabriella’s eyebrows narrowed in frustration as she glanced over at trenton. maybe he would stop, eventually. but nope, he continued on. “—could you possibly chew any more obnoxiously? and pick up your trash.”
“now why would I WANT to do that??” trenton laughed, mouth open wide to show off the large wad of gum. “either of those things, really! I mean, where’s the fun in that? I just want to litter until I can claim this park as trash lord.”
a smirk crossed her lips as she mulled over the sign in front of her, indicating the do’s and don’ts at the carnival. no illegal substances, no alcohol,no sexual contact. ‘ well, they do say rules are meant to be broken, so how about it ? who wants to share this bottle, do a couple lines and do things the good old pastor wouldn’t approve of in that alley ? ‘
“man, do you ever get tired? playing the rebel act?” trenton grinned as he slinked forward, dark gaze heavy on the girl before him. “we get it. you’re SUCH a naughty girl.” he plucked the cigarette from her lips, giving it a puff and holding with a contemplative look.
despite the fact anastasia would have normally done the same, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at his actions as they were in a public place, filled with children around them. “buddy, fucking kids are around you. pick up your shit, the garbage can is right there.”
trenton remained silent, eying the stranger who had decided to speak out. slowly, his hands move for his pockets, drawing out a handful of gum for each hand. never once removing his gaze from hers, he began to unwrap each, throwing BOTH the wrapper a n d the candy on the ground.
anyone would be impressed with the strength that trenton was using to chew his gum. they’d be less impressed when they found out he pretended he was chewing on his father’s head. okay, so less cool. he shoved another piece into his already full mouth, tossing the small wrapper to the ground to join other papers of similar size.
so this is one of my oldest children?? like I haven’t touched his character in years. like at least four or five??? like forreal.
tw: child abuse, violence, mental illness
so like!! trenton is from lyon, france! he has a SLIGHT accent but its not strong anymore because he hasn’t been back to france in like ten years.
his mother and father are not married. he was born out of wedlock because his mother was his father’s mistress. the man left after the idea of trenton was even mentioned. he was a married man with hands in politics, he couldn’t afford to have this out.
so labeaux family paid off the leroy family, sending money every month to keep them quiet.
the leroy family is kind of a TRASHY family living in the countryside near lyon. it was just trenton, his mother, grandmother and uncle. a small family that lived on the checks sent by a man worlds away.
he adored his mother more than any person!! like almost an obsession!! but thats because out of that house, she was the only one to ever show him kindness. his grandmother and uncle both were quite unkind to him, blaming him for their misfortunes and taking out their stress. unfortunately, his mother left the family and ran off with a boyfriend. trenton was only seven at the time but the sense of loneliness and abandonment following her departure REALLY affected him in ways that weren’t good. and the abuse he took from other family members only pushed him further.
his father took an interest back into his life at age twelve, realizing that the boy was his only current heir. he quickly took the boy from that house and placed him into a boarding school in england to learn everything from ENGLISH itself to business and other ways of the world.
the setting wasn’t much better tbh!! he was mistreated by older kids for a while, bullied for a variety of things until he finally shot up between age 15 & 16. he really grew into his awkward limbs, a charming face to match!! it was a surprise to everyone that the awkward boy had transformed into that. trenton started to get attention he had never received before. and it delighted him. but he didn’t know how to handle it.
he began abusing his friends, girlfriends... anyone who was close to him. violence was the ONLY language he would ever be fluent in -- his family made sure of that.
when he graduated, he was a shadow of the boy he once was. dark and twisted with desires that no good person should have. but still he passed it off like a charm, being the perfect son that his father had never wanted.
trenton was moved to highland springs and he lived there with his just father for a few years, learning the ways of the family business and politics.
but eventually everything got to him and he SNAPPED. the incident had him sent away once more but this time to a mental institution on the west coast. he was heavily guarded secret so no one really knew where he disappeared to. his father only claimed traveling the world.
but now he’s back!! and he’s ready to cause some d r a m a a a !!
oh yeah, he wants to be a chef! but its a struggle bc ppl piss him off sm
