You and Lily met in you were living in the abandoned house next to hers since your mother kicked you out because of her abusive boyfriend. Once you two got older you moved away to Boston and she stayed at home

Later on Lily moved to Boston by herself but she had to come back home for a little for her abusive father’s funeral. She had nothing nice to say about her father so she just ran out of the church and back to Boston where she met Ryle on a rooftop and he turned out to be abusive too
