MURDER & ABUSE TW // Growing up, Mickey was the closest to his mother. She was everything that he admired; bright, compassionate, unintentionally hilarious. And though the two of them were near inseparable, there were moments where Mickey was forced to stay away. His father drank. A lot. And it was those days where his son was urged into various hiding spaces. He preferred the closet, imaging the clothes hanging on the racks as a shield made out of cloth. Robert Talbot took his anger out on his wife, who accepted it. Each and every time, she never fought back. As long as her son remained safe from her husband’s abuse, she would play the part of a human punching bag.

But she could only take it for so long. And one day, she came to the conclusion that it was enough. She’d pack her bags, call her mother back in Canada, and she’d take her son out of Robert’s grasp. Though she never got to wake Mickey out of his deep slumber. And she never did see her hometown outside of Ontario again. He was nine years old when his mother left him. He entered the kitchen that morning and saw no one but his father. She’d left them. Both of them. She didn’t love them. Neither of them. That’s what he was told. And that’s what he believed. After all, why else would she leave?

It didn’t take long until Robert’s anger was directed towards Mickey. Bruises would be evident on the younger’s body– though when asked by school staff, excuses were made. His father may be an abusive drunk, but he was all that he had. All that was left of their family. And he’d be damned if he lost him, too. So, he took his mother’s role. Learning that each trait he’d admired her so much for was only the side effect of the older Talbot’s rage. A mask created to fool loved ones that everything was okay. That happiness had never been more prominent. Of course, there was one other thing his father’s abuse resulted in. And it wasn’t a personality trait, or a need to protect their abuser. It was the dirt that would suffocate you if you ever resisted; the darkness that would consume you, and the unnamed grave you’d be given.

His mother was born in Canada, though when she gave birth to Robert Talbot’s child– he insisted that they moved back to his hometown. At the time, she was a stranger to his blinding rage. And after a few years, three to be exact, she packed her bags and brought her only child to America.

Nicolas Talbot – Inseparable since the day they met, the Talbot cousins have been best friends since childhood. They were partners in crime, and have continued to be just as close as they were in their younger days. Evelyn Talbot – Though he doesn’t approve of his grandmother’s hatred for his own father, Mickey is quite close with the elder Talbot. Emma Phillips – The two have had an on and off relationship for the past two years. Starting out as best friends as well as roommates, it’s quite unfortunate the turmoil their relationship had to endure. Finally breaking up earlier this year, Emma & Mickey have returned to being close friends and nothing more. Liza Scalley – Even as Liza had a crush on Mickey for quite some time, it wasn’t until his break-up with Emma that he even saw Liza in anything but a platonic light. What started out as a hook-up; something to get his mind off of an ex, ended up being something far more. Though they’ve kept it on the down-low for the majority of their relationship, they’re still quite serious.
