Introduction
Cassandra Warner had everything: millions of dollars at her disposal, a family that looked tabloid perfect, and connections that could get her anywhere in life she wanted. So why, after sixteen years of living in luxury, would she just up and run away? Every family has their secrets. Her mother was never home, always prancing around with young me. Her father, who knew of her affairs, was a drunk who would lock himself in his office for days with nothing but a bottle of whiskey. Her brother was sick and twisted, wanting nothing more than to take advantage of his sister whenever he could. Every attempt she made to fight him off resulted in worse abuse. Shame and fear made it impossible for her to tell anyone, to speak out. She was alone, every day her depression grew a little worse. Finally, one day, after a particularly brutal attack, she left. She didn't bother to grab any of her stuff and had no intention of coming back for it. Two days later, she found leaning against an alley wall, a razor blade in her hand. Just as she was about to end her life, thinking that was the only option she had left, a boy about her age saw her there. His name was Alexander and he would change her life forever.
Alex was only fifteen when he was kicked out of his house and left to his own devices. His mom was a drunken prostitute who never wanted him in the first place, and he had the cigarette burn scars on his arms to prove it. He wasn't upset to be kicked out, he was glad and quite literally celebrated the occasion. He moved from house to house, always staying with friends. It didn't take him long to find out that there was quite a bit of money to be made in dealing the drugs he used quite frequently, and started doing that on the side along with his job at a small construction company. By the time he was eighteen he was making enough money to rent a house. There were five empty rooms, a roomy attic, and a carpeted basement and he was tired of spending all of his money on rent, so he began to rent them out. He was picky with the roommates he chose. They had to be laid back, okay with partying, and he just had to like them in general. Eventually he was able to rent out three of the rooms, leaving one empty. One night he was out, giving a few of his 'customers' their fix, when he saw Cassandra. She was still in pajamas, her face stained with tears, and a razor in her hands.
He had found his final roommate.

No girl dreams of being a stripper - no sorry - exotic dancer when they grow up, it's a profession you just sort of fall into. That's what happened with Tessa Jackson. She had had a good life with her mother. Not necessarily comfortable, but it was good. She loved her mom with all she had until the day she died of breast cancer. That's when things got really hard. The funeral in itself was expensive and a minimum wage job wasn't going to cover it, let alone rent and everything else she had to take care of. Eventually she was evicted and up to her forehead in debt, at only eighteen years old. She didn't have another family member to help her out, nor a friend who had the space to take her in. She was completely on her own. And then she saw the 'Dancers Wanted' ad for Vertigo Gentleman's Club. She had always been attractive, or that's what she was told. So she put on the tightest, low cut shirt she had, and applied for the job. She was hired on the spot and shortly after she was able to afford rent in a house where she would only have a few roommates to deal with.
Michael was head over heels in loved with Melody and she had just broken his heart. Walking in on her with, not one, but three other men had not been good for his self esteem. Adding insult to injury, she had decided it would be best if she took the apartment. Normally he wouldn't allow himself to be treated in such a way, but he didn't have the heart to tell her no. He just wanted to leave and never look back. He hid in a hotel room for a few days before his friends took him to a strip club, in attempt to cheer him up. When a stripper named Tessa came on the stage to dance, it was clear she was a favorite of the men who frequented the place - and several of his friends. She was beautiful, but while everyone else cheered, he didn't feel like she belonged up there. He didn't know what it was, maybe it was the look in her eyes, but he knew she deserved better than that. But he pushed the thought away and left. A few weeks later he found himself applying for a room and got it. It didn't take long to realize the sad stripper was living there too.
And she recognized him as the guy who didn't tip her that night.

This one is only going to be one paragraph as "Mia and Leo" already know each other.
Mia and Leo met at a hospital when they were very young, both of them suffering from Leukemia and chemo treatments. Their appointments were almost always scheduled on the same day and they saw each other at all the events the hospital held for the children with cancer. They quickly became friends. Leo would hold her hair when she got sick from the medicine, told her she was pretty when she finally went bald. To their parents it was the most precious thing they had ever witnessed, despite the fact it was a deadly illness that brought them together. After two years of fighting together, they finally went into remission only a month or so apart from each other. They decided then that they would do everything together and when they were in their late teens? That meant moving in together, though they had to convince their parents it was completely platonic. They found a house that had two rooms available for rent and it was like they were two normal people, not people who had had cancer. Then Leo starts to become distant and Mia isn't sure how to take it, he won't talk to her and it's not like him at all.
Turns out Leo's cancer is back and the outlook isn't so good this time.

These characters should be in their early to mid twenties.
Jesse never thought he would end up like his father, he swore he never would, but when his wife left him and took his one year old daughter with her...he couldn't stop things from spiraling out of control. It started with one drunken night and he promised himself never again. Then that one time turned into two, then three, then four, and so on. Soon he was going out every night to get drunk and going through a variety of women. It wasn't long before he lost his job and needed to find a cheaper place to stay. After he got a job that would pay enough for booze and rent, he moved off of his friend's cash and into a house with a bunch of roommates who were only a few years younger than himself. And they always had a steady supply of beer.
Enter Alyssa, a girl who can drink even Jesse under the table and who loves to party just as much as him. They quickly form a friends-with-benefits type relationship. It seems like the perfect arrangement, until Alyssa becomes pregnant. Instantly he's reminded of his one year old he'll likely never see again, and is willing to clean up his act for the baby. But Alyssa doesn't want it and has a secret of her own. She's bulimic and has been for a while now. She knows the baby likely won't make it to full term and she has no desire to let it happen.

If you didn't figure it out, they all live in Alex's house. Some of them have been their for a few months, some for only a few weeks. Alex has been in the house for about a year. Mia and Leo were the first two to move in, followed by Alyssa and Jesse, followed by Tessa and Michael, and finally Cassandra. Yes, eventually all the people I've paired together will be involved romantically. This role play should be filled with angst and drama, preferably very large amounts of it. (:
