Sean Montgomery

From "The Price I Pay."

Sean is friendly, funny, outgoing, a star on stage, attractive, and popular. He has a pretty longtime girlfriend and awesome best friends. Then his life does a 180 and he becomes very withdrawn and depressed (like self-injuring depressed, not just sad depressed). To add insult to injury, he loses his girl. His best friends, Gia, Neela, and Ventura, know something's wrong and make it their mission to help.

Sean's had a very tough life. His bio-father is an abusive criminal-slash-douche who beat Sean's loving former beauty queen mother; the one time Despot Daddy put a hand to Sean, his mother (who is from Kentucky, which explains it) ordered DD out with a gun. (Don't fuck with someone from Kaintuck.) Then Sean developed leukemia, which, as everyone knows, sucks a big one.

That's also when Sean's life turned around. Because his oncologist was not only a hella nice guy, but he and Sean's mum ended up getting married. The doctor, who Sean refers to as Daddy (despite the fact that Daddy, Jorge, is Mexican and very dark and Sean is a very pale, very white Anglo-Irish boy), also thinks of Sean as a son. Sean now has a cute, quirky half sister and a great family.

All is well. Until it isn't.
