I Didn't Know What To Do With Rook's Backstory - Tumblr Posts

Finally figured out Rook lore for my AU, who cheered?

Rook's childhood was better than most. He was an A+ student in school, and had minimal bullying. With a bit of pushing from his parents, he persued a degree in law. While he was there, he met a girl and they fell in love.

Or at least, he thought they were in love. When you're so blinded by hearts, it's hard to notice the signs.

She started to become colder

Made him feel stupid

Made him hate himself

And did things to him that... He still regrets to this day.

Even after he finished law school and started working, it felt like she always had a grasp on him. He couldn't escape her, no matter where he was or how far away, she was always there.

That was until... The accident.

His parents were hit by a drunk driver. His dad was killed and his mother was put into a coma.

It was like life decided to play a sick joke on him. He lost his parents, then his job, and finally, his girlfriend.

Her leaving should have been a relief, not being under her constant gaze and judgement. After she left, thought, life felt suffocating.

He began to drown in debt while trying to pay for his mother's hospital bills. He was desperate, in need of a job, he didn't know what to do.

That was till a recruiter came to him, and offered a life-changing opportunity...
