- He is homeless (on the streets. He ran away from home when he heard people around his town saying Weston was dead in the car crash years later. Ean never believed it, so he went out looking for him to see what really happened to him.) - His father died while serving in the military, and it still hurts him because of how he would always look up to him as an example. - His mother used to hurt him when he did something wrong or on accident, but he was never able to report it to social services because of how fearful he was of what would happen to him.
Image from Pinterest. Whoever he ends up liking will be added to a book I'm writing on Wattpad called "Under the Blue Umbrella." His backstory will be a little different, as well as a few other details. His name will also be Everest in the book rather than Ean, as well as aged up to be about 3 years older.
