OVERALL HISTORY ,[/color]
[/justify]PROLOGUE• something that not many people know is that bryant spent a good three months just working up the nerve to speak to angela. she was a young librarian at the public library in ogunquit maine, while he was a widowed man in his early thirties, working as an architect. she wore her hair in dark curls and wore a dimpled smile, he had already lost most of his hair by then and was sure his grin made him look more stupid than suave. he approached her, though. the two spent many afternoons speaking to one another over the counter of the library desk, several evenings sailing and dining at restaurants that were riding bryant's budget to it's breaking point, and many nights laying side by side one another. absolutely perfect, holden's mother always explained of their first years together. his father had described those years as some of the best of his life - no disrespect to his first wife; the deceased high school sweet heart he had loved for nearly a dozen years.
the two married at the nearest light house, with only a few family and friends present. under angela's sweet little wedding gown was a sweet little bump that would eventually grow up to be holden.
CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION• both parents attempted to sway holden's interest. as in, his father dressed him in football jersey's as an infant and his mother read to him several times a day. holden didn't quite use the books his mother gave him properly. instead of reading them, he tended to turn them into walls of forts and stepping stones for the lava better known as the living room carpet. though angela scolded him and grimaced at the sight of such terrible use of literature, she loved that little boy of hers very much. by the time holden was old enough for football, his father was too old. with the hype of his father and the pressure of the rest of his friends and school mates, holden became very skilled in the sport.
the school jersey and the fact that his father became the school football coach gave holden a high position at the school's social pyramid. he kept his grades rather high and was in nearly every activity his school offered. he dated a few girls, but kept mostly to himself. until he met his high school sweet heart, as the world dubbed her. they were both sophomore's and had attended the same schools since they were in middle school, but she was always in advanced classes. she was brilliant and beautiful and she seemed to fit near perfectly with holden. after all, he was an ace student. falling in love came easy to them. the two were seventeen or so when they discovered that condoms weren't the strongest things and that getting pregnant wasn't that hard of a task. the two stuck together, made a beautiful couple and rather good parents to their little boy, and were even engaged when it came time to apply for college.
when she was accepted to yale, he applied, too. the two attended the university where they could stay together and also where he could play football, live off campus with lucas, and still visit their family every couple of weeks. life was going great until his sophomore year of college - his last year of college.
ADULTHOOD• playing football had never been his dream. he hadn't bothered dreaming of becoming a professional athlete. he had always wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. architecture, followed by coaching football after retirement, maybe. a happy marriage. none of that would end up working out for holden. sophomore year at yale, his newlywed wife had lost it. and by it, i mean control. her abilitiy to handle things. she could barely look at lucas, let alone hold him. she overworked herself most nights, followed by a quick shake of the sheets with holden. he couldn't understand it at first, until he found the tin of speed in the bottom drawer of her desk. he asked her to stop, but she refused. he was torn and confused. adderall wasn't the worst drug to be addicted to, but an addiction was an addiction. she promised she was fine, though, and he accepted that. all drugs are gateways, though, and before he realized it, it wasn't just adderall she was taking.
after several weeks of fighting, she left him with the engagement ring and a letter, leaving him sole custody of lucas. holden continued to attend classes at yale until the bills piled too high and accumulated, too much for him to handle. he returned home for a few years, where his brother-in-law helped him raise lucas, until he'd managed to save enough money up to return to school. an impressive amount of money, in fact, enough to exchange countries, in fact. he began attending the university of st. lorenza last fall.
PROLOGUE• well, that's still being written.
