The family is made up of five members: Rachel, Gabriel, Matthew, Miriam, and Elizabeth. Rachel and Gabriel Archer are a perfect Christian couple; they had abstained from sex until marriage, they help out in the community constantly, are raising good Christian children, and they are in charge of the biggest church in Beverly Hills by the name Pulse Church. Then there is the eldest child Matthew, an amazing Baseball player for Beverly Hill High but an even better volunteer every weekend and sometimes every night after school or practice too. Miriam, the second oldest, is part of the community outreach program for the church and does an amazing job at it, running the church's website and taking pictures to showcase the different things they do; most of her time is spent at the church when not at school. Last but not least is Elizabeth, the youngest of the Archer children, the girl isn't very old and doesn't get to do much yet to help the church but she goes out of her way to help others when she can, certainly showcasing this family's natural desire and ability to take care of others.[/quote] The church community, Beverly Hills, and even the world has been fooled by the act the Archer family has. It wasn't always an act though, at one point the family was pretty much perfect. Everyone loved and cared for each other, they all worshipped together and worked to spread the Lord's word of joy and peace and kindness. But that all fell apart during the beginning of Matthew's year. It could be easily stated that Matthew and Miriam were close despite being from different social groups at school, Matt was a Jock and Miriam was an Artist, the two looked out for one another and kept no secrets. So when Matt finally came to accept a part of who he was, Miriam was the first to find out. At first finding out that her brother was gay, especially as they were a very religious family, well it was a shock. But after processing it she simply smiled and began teasing her brother on who he had a crush on, just this time listing off boy names instead of girls. To Matt, it had been a huge relief to see his sister just continue to treat him like she always had. Later though he clarified with her what her feelings really were only for her to tell him that she could care less who he loved as long as they loved him back and that, most importantly, Matt was happy. That day they didn't bring up speaking to their parents, it wasn't until a few weeks later that the two siblings sat down and really talked about it. Though there was fear of rejection, the two thought their parents would never reject Matt after all the preaching they did on acceptance and loving one another. They could not be more wrong though. When Matt told them with Miriam by his side the parents began to panic. Their thoughts ranging from where they went wrong to what would the church think, even going as far to say that the devil has taken control of Matt's soul. It was shocking, to say the least, to the two siblings, but they hoped their parents would just come to accept it over time. They didn't. It only got worse from there. The next day the two returned home from school to find Matt's bags packed by the door, their parents sat them down and told them they were sending Matt away to a place he could get help, a place that the devil couldn't reach him. This caused Miriam to go into the defensive of her brother and get into a yelling match with her parents but was stopped by Matt grabbing her hand and telling her they were right. That he needed help, but she could tell he was only saying it to get them to stop and make his parents happy. The pain deep within his eyes was like a dagger to his sister's heart. When he left things were never the same again. Their parents lied to the media and church that he had decided to go on a mission trip while also studying abroad, a lie to keep up the family image. The tension grew between Miriam and the Archer family adults, a tension that only seemed to disappear for any time they all three were interacting with the youngest Archer who was kept oblivious to everything that happened. It wasn't until over a year later at the end of November that Matthew finally returned home, the place said he was fixed and he told his parents that he no longer liked boys that they were right it was the devil. But Miriam could see that it was a lie and just an act, but she couldn't get him to do much about what he wants other than him admitting to her he was still gay. Miriam is hoping that come his last semester in school, things will get better and he can get back to himself.
