|History|
You ever heard of those families that are absolutely perfect? You know, a husband with a great job and a mother at home giving all her time to the two wonderful kids. Well, Ben is from such a family. His father is one of the most successful attorneys in Chicago. The villa they lived in was located in one of the better areas of town and although Ben's mother was usually at home, they still had a nanny and two maids. Ben's mom, Margarethe, was a board member of a large number of charities.
The older Ben and Penny got, the more their parents were away from home. Mom was getting involved into politics and dear old dad made it all the way to judge. Penny didn't seem to suffer from their absence even though she was the youngest child. She was great at school and behaved as a judge's daughter should. Ben had a little bit of a different experience. Whatever brains were in his immediate family, he apparently was not blessed with the same capacities. In the early years it wasn't that noticeable. Mostly his parents and teachers thought he would eventually catch up to their speed. It became more difficult when Ben was just about 10 years old. He did not recognize much of his family within himself, and as young minds can move strange ways, he suspected for a long time that he was adopted.
At school he started hanging out with the less desirable crowd. Fights, cigarettes and alcohol were a part of him from his early teens. The violence ebbed away when he started to accept himself for what he was, and not for what his family wanted him to be. The cigarettes and alcohol stayed, and in his late teens were joined by different kinds of drugs. Even with the bad grades, the influence of his parents got him into college. Free from adult supervision he had the time of his life. His grades were absolute shit, but party life was better than ever. The drug abuse became much heavier, so much that his parents found out when he visited them over the holidays. That was the last time he saw anyone in his family. He was thrown out of the house, but in order not to leak anything to the outside world, they did keep on paying for college. As such he has been there longer than most, and it is not a real surprise that he is older than most of his friends.
Although he is not a stranger with the ladies, as evidenced by his sexual encounters with girl 1 and Sera, he had never been in love until he met Tessa. And guess what, he is absolute shit in dealing with those feelings. It doesn't make it easier that she is dating his best friend.
