**Background**

* At the end of his freshman year, he was walking home with Rebecca when she was kidnapped. He was unable to help her and immediately called the police and his parents. The police never took action, and despite attending a private school, his parents didn’t have enough money for much else. In the end, they were not able to afford the ransom, and Rebecca was killed.
* Feeling that he was responsible for his sister’s death, Elijah joined a gang that was across town when he was fifteen. He just needed something to distract himself. Rachel joins at the same time as him, and he has a bit of a crush on her but tries to ignore it.
* Near his seventeenth birthday, Elijah’s mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. His grandfather had smoked around her when she was a child, so it is presumed that’s why she has cancer.
* Being an artist, Elijah’s mother gave him a mandala drawing for his seventeenth birthday. When he turned eighteen, he got the mandala tattooed on his right shoulder.
* After Elijah turned nineteen, his father got into a car accident. He was nearly killed and was put into a medically induced coma after it was found that he had serious brain trauma. His mother decided to live with his father in the hospital, leaving Elijah alone.
* Elijah had been falling further and further behind in school and finally decided to drop out to save his parent’s money. He moved across town where he could be closer to the gang.
* After Bryce’s sudden death, Elijah was suddenly given the role of leader beside Aidan. He realizes he never should have been part of the gang in the first place but knows it’s too late to go back now.
* A few months later, Elijah and Rachel begin to hang out more. He finds that they have a number of similarities to each other, and she is the first person that seems to genuinely care about him. After a day in the woods and on the beach, Elijah does the bold thing of kissing her as his way of confessing his feelings and asking her out. Turns out, she feels the same way, and they begin dating.
* Elijah decides to visit his parents for the first time in months and asks Rachel to come along. Little does he know, his mother ordered a DNR for his father, and he ends up witnessing his father’s death.
* Elijah and Rachel go on their first date. They both thoroughly enjoy themselves.
* When Rachel returns home the next day, Aidan calls her to the warehouse where she kills Jemma. Elijah takes Jemma’s body to the woods where he burns it and buries what may remain.
* Rachel seems to grow a little distant, and Elijah allows her to take the time she needs.
* Elijah finds out that his mother's cancer has returned, and he decides to take his share of the money from the gang to help pay for her chemotherapy.
* Elijah meets a girl named Logan, whom he finds quite odd. She says she will break into his house and steal his money, and he threatens to kill her if he finds her anywhere near his home. Soon after, she disappears.
* Elijah and Rachel begin spending time together again, and though they are both a bit tense, they feel much more relaxed around each other.
