Jesse and Ryan were on their way, but with an hour hospital drive – mother nature just did her thing. He was raised on a farm owned by his grandparents with his five other siblings, all unplanned. Tegan doesn’t fault his parents for continuing to have kids, but he could feel the societal and financial pressure. Despite his parents saying things were fine, Tegan knew it wasn’t, and so did his siblings. While Jesse worked long hours as a cleaning lady for a hotel and Ryan a farm hand, the income to support seven people was limited. Despite the farm bringing in money, most went towards the upkeep and the grandparents’ pockets. The Hughes children learned how to pinch their pennies quite quickly, making sure they were able to feed themselves. His older siblings sold eggs and produce while Tegan attempted to sell painted rocks. It wasn’t until Tegan was twelve, that life really backhanded him. A fire burned half the farm, desecrating the land and livestock. The financial setback threw his father to alcoholism and his mother to work even longer hours. Home life became like walking on eggshells. Silence except for the creaks of the floorboards in the two-bedroom shack. His father passed after a heart attack while working on some new fencing, and his mother passed in her own way. As her joy was now gone, and the stress of feeding five mouths was too much. Tegan was fifteen at the time. Tegan’s grandparents, while not exactly the best people to look over a group of teens – took the children in. They weren’t the people that showed love in verbal ways, they showed love in hugs and good cooking. His older siblings had left home before their parent's death. With the older support system gone, Tegan just made his own world up - to help lessen the stress of having to grow up way too fast. In school, he found comfort in art. He was always a kid that was creative, but drawing and painting allowed him to ignore his pains. Or at least, make his pains noticeable on paper. His teacher, Mr. Evans noticed Tegan’s pieces – prompting him to keep a closer eye on the teen. Mr. Evans, out of his own pocket, made sure Tegan had the supplies he needed to continue his art – even after the young man finished secondary. With this kindness and knowing how healing art was to him, Tegan sought out higher education. Something that wasn’t thought achievable in his family. After years of hard work, Tegan got his degree – and got into a top-choice doctorate program that ended up being close to his hometown. Tegan lives with his grandparents and his younger siblings. The farm, while small now, has picked up and flourished. He works hard at a local equine therapy ranch for extra money and will do a few commissions if he has the time. Tegan is nearing the last year of his studies, and he hopes to find a practice soon that will take him. the role player alias •aofie age • ghost of christmas past other characters • not as long as the bible..yet |
