Things started falling apart when he was a teenager. His parents argued more often, his dad turned cruel towards August. August realised around this time that he was gay and came out to Olivia. Olivia was extremely supportive, but advised him to not tell their parents- so he kept it to himself.

High school hasn’t Been easy for him. He never really found a group where he fit in, he just sort of fell through the cracks of every social group- often bullied and picked on.
