ADAM IS A TALL DUDE, THE OLDEST IN HIS FAMILY
HIS PERSONALITY TYPE IS QUITE PECULIAR BECAUSE HE WAS BORN IN A HOUSE WITH TWO YOUNGER SIBLINGS
ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE TIME HE DOESN'T SHOW IT, HE CARES DEEPLY FOR HIS SIBLINGS. HE SUPPORTS STEVE MORE THAN HE SUPPORTS HIMSELF, EVEN IF AT FIRST SIGHT, HE SEEMS TO BE A COLD BUT SURPRISINGLY POPULAR STUDENT.

HE TRIES NOT TO SHOW EMOTION FOR THE SAKE OF HIS HIGH REPUTATION AND STUDY AT SCHOOL, BUT EVERYONE EXPECTS SO HIGH OF HIM THAT HE CAN'T TAKE IT.

ADAM DOESN'T HAVE MUCH FREE TIME FOR HIMSELF SO ONE DAY, HE ABANDONS HIS STUDIES TO TAKE A LOOK OUT THE WINDOW.

HIS SENSES DISAPPEAR AND HE ADMIRES THE PASTEL SUNSET LAYED OUT INFRONT OF HIM, BUT THE THOUGHT OF RETURNING BACK TO HIS USUAL, BORING FAKE LIFE BRINGS HIS MOOD DOWN. SO HE PURPOSELY SITS ON THE WINDOW LEDGE AND SLIPS OFF, JUST TO FEEL ANOTHER EMOTION FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFEOKAY IM JUST TYPING THIS OUT BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A STORY IN MY HEAD BUT WHAT IF: ADAM ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AND STEVE LEARNS FROM IT, BUT SINCE STEVE IS THE YOUNGER SIBLING- HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE EXPECTED TO DO THINGS EVERY STEP OF HIS LIFE.

SO STEVE FEELS BAD THAT ADAM IS UNCONSCIOUS AND HE RUNS AWAY AND PROMISES HIMSELF THAT HE WILL LEARN TO BE INDEPENDENT. THERE'S A TIMESKIP, WHERE ADAM HAS RECOVERED AND IS TAKEN ABROAD BECAUSE OF HIS STUDIES- BECAUSE HIS PARENTS DONT WANT HIM TO BE DISTRACTED BY HIS SIBLINGS- SO HE RELUCTANTLY LISTENS AND GOES.

EVIE HAS JUST STARTED SECONDARY SCHOOL BUT SHE'S NERVOUS, NONE OF HER BROTHER'S ARE AROUND AND SHE'S TRAUMATIZED BY THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN HER FAMILY, AKA BEING TOLD THAT SHE ALMOST DIED AT BIRTH. SHE IS MADE FUN OF AT SECONDARY SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE IS SHYER THAN OTHERS, ESCPECIALLY SOME POPUALR KIDS WHO BULLY HER FOR HER LOOKS- she was a miracle baby, so she looks different to others- AND SHE HAS A HARD TIME

A few years before Evie started secondary school:
Adam was in hospital, unconscious. Steve stares at his limp body from afar, being restrained by his parents. He has never felt a feeling so strong before, he's extremely unsure of what to do without his older brother.

He still in primary school, so Adam had always kept secrets about his life from him because he was 'too young to understand'. But even though he kept many secrets and didn't trust steve, steve always looked up to him and Adam always cared for him back.

He would occasionally take Steve out for some ice cream after a rough day at primary school, or buy him some treats.

Seeing his unmoving body made Steve realise: he needed his brother. Breaking out into tears, he slapped his parent's hands that were tightly clasped onto his waist and ran out of the hospital, as fast as he could.

Brother.... I need you please!
In the mindset that he was in, he hadn't even thought of where he was going to run to. His legs just kept moving uncontrollably, his vision blurred a little.

Unknowingly, he had run all the way back home, back where his brother had jumped from in the first place. Tears flood from his eyes and he fell to his knees, thinking to himself.

Brother would always buy me sweets... Maybe I should do the same for him! Wait, maybe he isn't feeling well because he gave all his sweets to me, that must be it! Maybe he isn't going to die!! WOOOHOOOO! I'll buy him some sweets with my own pocket money.....

Chucking out every single piece of stationary from his drawers, Steve finally managed to dig up a small coin. He had found it on the floor while walking back from primary school one day, and ever since- had kept it to later surprise his brother on a birthday.

PERFECT I'LL MAKE BROTHER FEEL GOOD AGAIN! AS THE DOCTORS SAY, A SWEET A DAY KEEPS THE VIRUSES AT BAY!
Leaping happily to the stores, Steve realised that the mood in the streets on that day seemed strangely sombre. He slowly came to his senses and quietened down his excitement a little, suddenly trying not to stand out.

Why- why are they all so scary all of a sudden?!
All the people walking by him either ignored his prescence or glared at him, racking up his nerves.

"Hey, you!"

His heart froze when he heard the deep voice of a man in his ears; halting in his tracks he slowly turned his head to face him.
"Yeah, you! You're Adam's little brother right?"

Wait, they must be brother's friends! They know him so I can definitelt trust them! Maybe they'll buy me sweets aswell.

"Hello! Yes!"
He replied in a friendly voice, completely forgetting about his brother and parents who were in hospital.

"Then take us to him, you freaky little he ignored us in the hallway the other day and we have a score to settle with that." Shaking in his shoes, realisation hit Steve that the teenagers in front of him were not his brother's friends, they were bad guys....
