Enoch has been tortured by his peers for most of his life. When Javier walked in, everything got better, for a while. Now he has to deal with an abusive boyfriend that he can't get help for.
Montero has always been judged. No one has ever tried to give him a chance or tried to get to know him. Well that was until Jess. Back then one look from Jess would have sent his heart fluttering but now looking at Jess shatters his heart even further. He's learned that eventually everyone can only see the ugly within him. Label him a psychopath. Weirdo. Cold-hearted. Merciless. Vile. Alone.
He's so used to being second best but after losing Jess not once but twice his entire mindset and way of life have changed. He is only a shell of who he used to be, which is not entirely a bad thing. It just means he has a lot of room to grow.
How do you find hope in a world that's never shown you any good?
It's something he is learning to figure out for himself.
