SWEAR TO GOD

her mom and dad split almost right after she was born , her dad was a very wealthy man and her mom wasn’t . her fathers family didn’t approve of the relationship , none the less that he now had a child with someone who wasn’t even close to being on the same playing field as him . so he packed up his bags , and left her mother there with little amari in her arms . amari was a quiet child , typically only spoke up to poke the feet of the bear . had a thing for watching things fall apart in the oddest sense . even as a kid if you looked into her eyes you could see the chaos beneath them .  she didn’t really see the problem in telling a couple white lies ( a day ) , had her teachers call her mom plenty of times . over and over , constantly being told she shouldn’t have lied , or even when they’d believe her and it’d turn into a whole other thing . she was a good kid , never did anything too bad other than the white lies . her mother loved her like no one ever would . but couldn’t help to think that her lying was her digging into her own life . comparing herself to the other kids who showed up to the class parties and talent shows with a mom and a dad , and her mom would run in the door thirty minutes late ; but it would only ever just be here mom . her mom never really told her what had happened to her dad , but it didn’t take long for amari to piece things together . her mom had no idea how to handle her eight year old daughter asking why she wasn’t good enough for her father .  you can say her daddy issues developed wildly , her mother and her struggled . for a majority of her life . amari did everything she could to help bring in money , as her mom already worked 3 jobs and did under the table things for others . they struggled to stay afloat , but it never made her love her mom any less . once highschool started amari had reached out . gotten a couple of close friends ; no one really messed with her . she wouldn’t go out of her way to be mean , but it was a defense mechanism . never wanted to let anyone get close enough to understand or even know a piece of what was going on at home . she was a pathological liar , had a craving to poke the beast every time a situation had an opening for it . she took it every time , would constantly watch everything crumble around her . made her heart pump , made her feel powerful . the queen of spreading rumors , she wasn’t the most popular by any means ; but she was certainly known .  once she turned eighteen she turned to the internet for the attention she craved , amari became a cam girl , never showed her face but her popularity grew almost instantly . she’d only ever really told a few handful of people , never her mother . but it brought in money to pay the bills , put food in their mouths , get actual nice clothes . it gave her a way to give her mom the life she thought she deserved . the life they deserved to get from her father ; but she knew he was too much of a coward to ever care .  amari is ... super attention needy . loves when eyes are on her , loves when shes the cause behind things falling apart ; has little to no emotional feelings . has been with handfuls of people , has had her heart broken once and that’s kinda what triggered it . never thought shed trust love after what her father did to her mother , gave it a chance and got her heart shattered ( hello plot connection ? FNMDSF ) so now its all about sex to her , she doesnt really even notice herself when shes flirting with someone , cant really control it . its just an impulse . the definition of the devil sitting on ur shoulder . literallly never go to amari when you have a good idea and a bad idea that you need help choosing on because shell tell you to go with the bad one but take it a million steps further . bottom line is , shed do anything for the few people she actually cares about . resents her father , and lowkey has a sex and attention problem . 

alright listen , when i say vince is a major asshole . i mean a major asshole . had all the money in the world , had pretty decent parents ( just travelled a lot ) he’s reaaaaaaal narcissistic , entitled as fuckkk , and super pessimistic . tends to see the absolute worst in things before even looking into them ; is a reaaal debby downer . coulda lost ur dog and he’d be like oh well it’s not like ur gonna find them . ( hate this bitch but i lUV him ur honor .. ) anyway , a real toxic piece of work i tell ya that .  anyway , growin up he had it all . literally there was not a thing u could mention that vince didn’t have . been playing football and hockey since he was 6 , ( started early ) , he really wanted to pursue it as a career cause man hes athletic as all hell . really shined through it too , had a different practice every other day . his way of making his parents proud , however they never showed up to any of his practices , or any of his games for that matter . which for a while didn’t phase him , but later on took a toll on him . because as much as he enjoyed playing ; there was still a part of him that knew he was doing it for their approval , and they didn’t care .  middle school u could say he was a bully . would shove kids into lockers . put u in a trash can . had his lil bro squad and that was that . kinda ruled the school . all the way throughout highschool . he was the typical beefy mean jock but we luv that . he wasnt dumb but he definitely wasnt the smartest , only did well in school to be able to play sports . was a heartbreaker for sure . has really bad anger issues so small little things used to make him rage , and now that everythings kinda gone downhill hes reaaally gone . hasnt really changed at all . still a douche , still sees the absolute worst in things . not good at relationships at all but has somewhat of a heart when it comes to the right person .  for the ppl he cares abt he would go . the extra mile to make sure theyre safe / protected . probably not in the best way because he truly cant help himself . causes fights for the adrenaline rush it has , u can count on him to try and ruin ur day because its literally all hes good at . 

meet my lil crybaby , way too naive and ambitious and it tends to get her in a lot of trouble . tends to fall in love with everyone , and i mean everyone . if you give her the slightest bit of attention / affection she’ll gain feelings for you so what . tends to put her all into people who could give a damn less about her , doesn’t really understand why not everyone feels the same , but takes the pain and falls for the next one . grew up in a very unstable family , has a lotttta daddy issues . her dad left her mom when she was born , her mom did fine until she was seven . that’s when the constant drinking started , and never seemed to stop . whether it was 8 am , or 2 pm her mom was slurring her words and rummaging through the house . learned from a young age how to take care of her , how to cook , clean , how to get her mom out of the house semi sober to go grocery shopping . you named it . despite the daddy issues , and the semi mommy issues . she was pretty sane , had a pretty okay school life . had plenty of friends but always wanted more . almost desperate for validation , always wanted to be liked by everyone . did the most out of the box things you could think of to get attention . all she wanted was to live , and to be loved . but didn’t want to not be remembered  ( like her father ) . seemed pretty normal for a young kid , simply just a little more on the wild side . after all , the only discipline she ever got was from at school . addy was crazy smart , straight a+’s throughout every grade . never got an assignment in late , but was somehow always out there doing something crazy and off the walls .  flash forward to highschool she was pretty popular , second hand on the cheersquad . but if you asked around , all you’d hear about addy was how she was easy , now maybe from an outsiders perspective she was . probably couldn’t count the amount of people she had been with if she had 5 hands . however it wasn’t her intention , just had a bad habit of getting a small amount of attention and thinking it was destiny and true love . could smile at her in the hallway and she’d think about you all day , addy just didn’t have any sort of control of her heart . not to mention , apparently her brains didn’t apply to feelings either . maybe it was just a way to ease her mind of her home life , or maybe it was her not wanting to end up like her mother . always wondering why her father left , what made her so intolerable that he couldn’t stand to be apart of her life . got crowned prom queen , graduated with an amazing gpa , had colleges begging for her . could’ve gone , anywhere .  her family had money , and that’s the only reason addy turned down scholarships , she could’ve been out of here , long gone and never have to deal with the reputation she created for herself ever again . but instead chose to stay back , chose to stick with the party scene , didn’t really wanna create something for herself . relied on all the money , until everything basically disappeared . before addy had realized that everyone had disappeared , all she could think of was why would her mother leave her . all she’d done was take care of her , love her , she’d do anything for her . it broke her , shut herself out for a bit . lingered in the shadows for a bit before finally branching out .  she remained faction-less , part of the commitment issues she has . weird considering how hard she looks for love , but it explains how she moves on from one to the next so quickly . she stays mainly out of peoples way , does her own thing kinda off in her own world . manages to sneak her way into places out of her territory to get what she needs , manages to somehow get herself out of trouble whenever she finds herself caught up . basically just living her own life , trying not to dwell on the fact everyone she loved was gone ; tried to ignore the fact everyone that she used to know was now so cruel , so dangerous almost .
