Sean Cameron:
Sean Cameron drove his cab up to a gentlemen in a suit standing on the side of the rode, trying to flag a taxi down with a newspaper in one hand, and balancing a briefcase an an umbrella in the other hand. Sean stopped the vehicle and the man opened the door and got in.
"Grand Central Station" the man said. Sean drove off silently.
Life wasn't exactly perfect for Sean. He screwed up one too many times, and now he was facing the consequences.
It had all started at age 17, when Sean was a Junior in High School. The pressure, the hard work, and really no family except his brother to support him through his tough teenage years. Sean just couldn't take it anymore. It was too much. He dropped out of High School and got his first job, working at the Dot Grill with his partner, Spinner, being a bus boy.
That's when Jay, and a few of his other so-called "friends and girlfriend", pursauded him to join them in New York. Sean resisted at first, he did want to go back to get his Diploma but they broke him down. Sean wrote a note, and then took off.
New York was just as big and scary as ever. Sean, Jay, his girlfriend Candace, and another friend named Aiden, shared a two bedroom apartment together. It was pretty good at first, but how did they pay for the apartment? Easy. They stole from all kinds of different stores and sold them for a fair amount of money. Sean didn't do this very often. He had managed to land a job, unloading liquor trucks into 24 hour convience stores. It didn't pay well.
Things actually were going okay...for awhile. That is until one day Jay brought home some Cocaine and insisted everyone should try it, because it would calm them down. Being idiots, they all did this and were now hooked on drugs.
Soon everyone was burning everything for crack and marijuana that bum's sold on the street, even money for the rent and food. Sean had become one of the "gang", officially. When Sean ran out of drugs, Candace would ditch him and hook up with someone better supplied. She took off one day and never returned. Who knows where?
That's when one day Sean was digging through boxes of old junk to sell for crack, when he came across a picture of Emma. Everything seemed to fade away as he was lost in memories. That's when he made a decision. No more drugs. No more booze. He wanted to turn his life around. Sean started attending free rehabilation centers in New York and slowly got better.
So now Sean was working as a cab driver, trying to earn enough money to go back to Canada. It would take awhile, but eventually he would go. He was determined.
Sean pulled up the cab to Grand Central Station.
"Thank you young man" said the gentlemen and handed him his fair.
Sean looked down at the bills. This was just another step to turning his life around.
