life
cade montgomery had a fairly normal childhood, outside of the fact that his father was a marine and died serving his country. he was an only child and him and his mother struggled to recover from the blow but eventually got through it. they were both very strong, despite the fact that cade was eight years old when his father passed away. cade kept his mother going and she did the same for him - he was always very close to her growing up. throughout high school, cade was pretty popular. he was the jock kind of guy but tried to stay away from the food chain, though one can only do that so much when they are a popular. cade was sensitive in his high school years, really a romantic, preferring girlfriends to one night stands and the like, though he did have his few stages where partying was the only thing on his mind (like any other high school boy).

junior year, cade met annabelle speckhart, and the two dated throughout the last two years of high school. they were the couple that everyone knew would get married, they were head over heels in love and never wanted that to change. annabelle supported cade's decision when he graduated to return to the marines. there was a lure from his family's past that made him feel obligated to follow in his father's steps. cade enlisted in the marine corps at nineteen years old, right after he graduated high school, and also right after he proposed to annabelle. he wanted to spend his life with her - it was a fairytale relationship to that date, which cade had thought was too good to be true. he wanted to hold onto her forever, and annabelle said the same to him. he proposed but soon got the news he would be leaving on his first tour within the month, which wasn't long enough to have the extravagant wedding annabelle wanted (and cade was willing to give her). so cade soon left and began his twelve month tour as a marine. the tour was stressful, though it was his first year and he therefore was not put through as severe situations as some of the seasoned marines had. it traveled slowly, and cade found it difficult to keep up contact with annabelle, though he tried to write her as often as possible. her responses became few and far between, which worried him. he soon got word that his mother had died of a stroke while he was at war. this was another blow to him. he had the option to go home now, but cade didn't want to have to leave again and finish the last month of his tour. now he only had annabelle. the last few weeks of his tour were torture, but the promise of seeing annabelle would be enough.

it wasn't until he was riding the bus back towards his home with annabelle that he realized how excited he was to see her and start a life with her. the war had been a surprising, bleak lifestyle - what could one expect? no one truly knew the conditions fighting against other countries until they were doing it, but cade felt as if his duty to his father was filled, and he was satisfied with the service he had shown. there was the pull to continue helping, but annabelle was something that overruled that.

the bus pulled up outside his house. cade got his bags, walked down the path to his house (seemingly the longest he had ever had to walk). he hadn't told annabelle the exact day he was coming home, hoping to surprise her. he walked into his home, the familiar smell penetrating him. he remembered this life - he wanted it back, and he wanted it forever. he heard the sound of her voice, and left his bag near the front door, taking the steps upstairs two at a time with an eager smile on his face. where was his fiance? in the bedroom. good, he thought with a smirk, before taking another several quiet steps and pushing his fingers to the door and peeking inside the room.

he would have never expected this in a million years.

another man. where he should have been. where they should have been. in bed with his fiance.

cade was luckily able to leave quickly enough before he killed the man sleeping with (what was supposed to be) his wife to be. he took his things and left as quickly as possible, trying to show her no emotion whatever. everything seemed to be falling down - the memories of their past life, the hope for their future life. the humiliation.

cade tried not to dwell in the stage of moving on, simply because it was not possible. he re-enlisted in the marines. there was no life for him here, no purpose. he had come back for one person, one purpose only. that was all gone now, so he might as well return to the only thing he knew.

the war did something to cade that he didn't think was possible. he had become more hardened. he forgot the meaning of safety, of love, of family. he no longer opened up to the other men on his tour with him as much as possible. he did his job, and did it well - cade worked up to a four year tour by the time he was twenty two, and at the age of twenty six, sergeant cade montgomery returned home for good as a decorated ex-marine. he had lost pretty much everything, except his 'honor' which was the only thing cade held to his name and kept him going. he struggled to stay on his feet as he returned to ocean city, glad that there was no trace of his past and no one to remind him of those years.

cade now works as a night shift janitor and suffers heavily from post traumatic stress disorder from the war. he avoids most contact with people and remains closed off, though he is forever chivalrous and reminded of the things the marine corps trained him in. however, cade occasionally had turned to drinking to try to help with his past, and he is a violent drunk - and a violent, drunk marine can turn a situation ugly fast. he tries to stay out of conflict, though, and lives on his own in a small apartment, trying to make ends meet.
