Lois and Frederick had a one-night stand in high school that led to her becoming pregnant with his child. When she told Frederick he declared he wanted nothing to do with the child and once graduation hit, he was gone never to be heard from again. Lois was distraught. Having been kicked out of her home she resorted to finding any means necessary to make money. But nothing was giving her nearly enough to support a child. Once Sonny was born, she resorted to selling her body for sex. It paid the bills, but she was gone most nights and Sonny had to learn to fend for himself.
One night Lois met Hunter, a police officer that had gone undercover. She covered for him when his cover was nearly blown and Hunter was grateful. They began dating a few months later and with his help she was able to put her business aside and find a more suitable job as a 911 dispatcher.
The following year they were married. Sonny was five at the time and he did not like Hunter. Who was this man that was suddenly in their lives? Already he was quite a street kid and was often caught shoplifting. Hunter started the discipline as any parent would. But SOnny was unaccustomed to a father figure or any kind of rules. He did not listen. This frustrated Hunter, whm was already working a rather stressful job. Hunter started lashing out. At first it was at SOnny but then Lois got caught in the crossfire.
Once accusations of domestic abuse were circulated, Hunter lost his job. Sonny was all good with letting the guy rot in jail but Lois refused to press charges. So Hunter Stayed. Hunter turned to alcohol and could only get a job as a construction worker. He became bitter and irritable, blaming Sonny for his crappy life. He was difficult to please. He would flip for any little thing.
Sonny and his stepfather butted heads quite often, leading Sonny to spend his time outside the house. He got caught up in streetfights and was introduced to the world of alcohol and drugs. After one particular night of ecstasy, Sonny awoke in some strange apartment with a teenage girl tending to him. A girl he went to school with by the name of Fiona. They got to know each other rather well and when he was fifteen she announced that she was pregnant. Sonny was excited to start a life with her and be rid of his stepfather. Hunter was not pleased, but Lois did her best to support her son and his decisions.
During Fiona's pregnancy was when Sonny began playing guitar, mainly to sing to the growing fetus within his girlfriend. He was actually very good at playing, he found, and he began to think perhaps he could use this talent to properly support Fiona and the child they were prepared to raise together. Everything was seeming to fall into place.
When the day came that Fiona went into labor, Sonny did his best to help her. But something was wrong. The child.. Something was wrong with the child. Sonny was forced to stay out of the room while emergency services were performed. Hours later a nurse came out with a small bundle, explaining that Fiona had not made it, she had lost so much blood. The child--a girl-- was barely breathing and would most likely die as well. Sonny held his daughter anyway, naming her Erin like he and Fiona had prior decided. Erin breathed her last in his arms.
In the following months Sonny clung to the relationship with his mother. Which meant he was home around Hunter. Things started up between the two once more, getting enough to the point of fist fights. One night while Hunter and Sonny were going at it in the kitchen, Lois tried to get between them. Hunter shoved her back, grabbing a knife from the counter to go after Sonny. Lois fell backwards and hit the back of her head on the counter. There was a loud snap and she fell lifeless to the floor.
Sonny, blind with rage and hate for his stepfather, charged at him despite the knife. He does not remember what happened but the result was Hunter lying dead with the knife in his abdomen. Sonny ran away that night, taking the car and what few possessions he had, driving as far away as he could--after removing the plates. He didn't know what to do. He certainly could not stay in Ireland, that was for sure. He needed to get far away, away from the source of all his pain.
Using what cash he had, he booked a plane ticket to America, finding himself in New York City. Even though he still felt the pain of his losses, he did his best to pick up the scraps of his life. He found GED classes and attended them, as well as a job at a bar that didn't mind he wasn't old enough in the United States to serve alcohol. However he was mostly paid under the table. Through this shady deal of work he was exposed to the world of drugs, something he quickly delved into. Anything to block the pain.
One night the bar's entertainment showed up too drunk and high to perform. However the bar always prided itself on having live entertainment. Sonny managed to convince his boss to let him play instead of tending bar that night. His boss was hesitant at first but then agreed. It was rocky at first, since Sonny hadn't played a single note since Fiona but it was just like riding a bike. The crowd loved Sonny. After that night, he had a new role at the bar as the nightly entertainment.
It just so happened that a year or so later there was a talent scout in the small crowd while Sonny played. However, it was a different kind of talent scout. This man approached Sonny with an offer of a full-ride scholarship to one of the top arts schools in the country. How could he say no? It brought him all the way across the country but it has been worth it.
