General History: Gerard was born in Pennsylvania, and that night his father left the family as his mother went into labor. Johanna and Cassidy were not born yet, and his father had no intentions of starting a family. Once he was born, Gerard's mother wanted to stay in Glendale since the location of Gerard's father was unknown and she did not want to run into him. From that point on, he had a pretty normal childhood; and he did not date til age 15. When he was 15, he meant Jake. He meant Jake at a football game one night. They talked for a bit, not knowing about each others sexuality, they thought the other pier was straight. Jake gave Gerard his email in case they wanted to chat. Slowly, things not rolling and they were dating. Three years later, in their Senior year, the two were sitting in Gerard's basement. They were both hogging down chips and dip. Jake was planning on proposing that night (I know this is cheesy, just roll with me here), and he said he would do it when he came back from the store. He never came back, and Gerard found the ring in the wreckage. Gerard cried for a bit, and then got a tattoo in his memory. He soon got a job at Starbucks, and now we are at modern times in this story.
Present Life: Gerard works at Starbucks, and has the ever-so-often flash photos and videos in his mind about his 'lover'. He lives in Glendale with his mother, and his two sisters Johanna and Cassidy.
