Jackson and Guest have been married for a little over a year now, and everything was good, great even

Guest and Jackson have had their differences but they loved each other, were secure and safe, and that’s all that mattered.

Jackson and Guest came from different families. Guest had loving, supporting hospitable family members. Didn’t come from much but they had one another, something money could never buy. Jackson on the other hand came from a transactional family, money was everything and anything. It encapsulated the whole family and more so Jackson’s dad.

jackson and his dads relationship, well relationship with the whole family was horrible. Barely talked, if they did, it was arguments that would turn physical in a blink of an eye

but Guest and her family weren’t aware of that. They were aware of social status but not the deep rooted issues that came along with it, the abuse, yelling, late nights, lost time, anger. . . . . . It was a warm June evening at Jackson’s and Guests summer house in the Hamptons. Both the families were together. Guest’s parents and 3 siblings, Jackson’s parents and 5 siblings, all together outside in the moist air having cigars, drinks and ice cream. It was well, most of the trip was well but suddenly it all changed

Jacksons dad made some snarky remark, per usual but god, Jackson didn’t wipe it off

“Jackson, you’ve been putting on some weight since I’ve last seen you. Remember what we talked about ? This isn’t okay”
