Sean (pt. 2)

The story behind his surgeon suit starts a year ago or so. His parents went to a costume party and his dad bought the surgeon suit for himself. His mom was dressed as a nurse. If her intention was to look sexy, she didn't nail it. If his intention was to try to make things better, he didn't nail it. They just went to the party, had a few drinks, and drove back home earlier than they planned. Nothing that day had gone according to plan, and it wasn't about to get different at night. Maybe when they were younger they really loved each other. But Sean's mom's dream was always to marry a TV god. She didn't need love, she needed money. Enough to make her feel loved and beautiful. But instead, as always happens, she fell in love with Sean's dad, whose parents owned and island (but its ownership didn't pass on to him, as she had thought). They had a wedding as beautiful as it could've been a wedding by the beach, and under that sunset they swore eternal love to each other. Until death do them part. But whether they meant physical death, like death death, or just death in life, or death of love, they never knew. Their love died, but they didn't, and Sean was born a few years later. A baby is supposed to make things better, and that is how the story went for a few years since his birth, until his first day of school.
