Ezra and Embree Hamilton were both born to drug addicted parents. Ezra was the older sibling and dealt with the abusive parents for two and a half years before his younger sister was born. Luckily four years after Embree was born, the state took the kids from their druggie parents and gave them to a married couple who were wanting kids. This couple always provided for Embree and Ezra, but weren't the greatest parents either. Ezra and Embree never let their parents effect how they lived, and were both quite popular. Ezra into sports and getting good grades, but mainly looking after Embree. Their adoptive father was a workaholic and barely ever came home. He was the type of guy the kids saw on holidays and when they did he threw money at them in hopes of some kind of bond. Their adoptive mother was clincially depressed and Bi Polar. Their kids never knew what mood she would be in, so Ezra looked after them. Making sure Embree was never hurt when their mom was having a depressive mood swing. As teenagers, she ended up killing herself and the kids were left taking care of themselves. The father only coming home to make sure they had money. After graduation, Ezra wanted to get out of the house and leave their family behind. The only people Ezra needed was Hanna, his sister and her children. Ezra had friends and the love of his life, Hanna. He didn't need anymore family, Embree was enough.
College was a blast for Ezra. Finally he was an adult and had everything he really thought he wanted. Ezra finished with a business degree and quickly opened his own car dealership. Ezra knew the people in town loved their trucks, so he made sure to find the best prices, and make sure the mechanical shop he attached to the shop was the best in town. When Ezra finally had everything he wanted, he realized he was sad a lot. Having friends, love, family and the job he wanted, felt good, but he couldn't understand why he also felt so crappy. Little by little, Ezra started to pull away from his finance at the time and it caused a rift between them. Ezra finally got some counceling, though people had no idea and fixed things with Hanna. Now he is doing well and their life seems almost perfect, but Ezra can't figure out why he is so depressed. Ezra finds happiness in his life, when he is hunting, fishing, or working. When he is with his niece and nephew he is really happy, but when he is alone, he is so down and can't figure out why.
