Palm Beach Royals: Senior Year

¿Por qué todo me falta?
No me alcanzan las ganas de vivir.
Aunque todo lo intento, yo no entiendo: ¿por qué no estás aquí?
Aunque nada es eterno o perfecto, tú lo eres para mi.
Te necesito, porque sin ti no sé vivir

While some of his other classmates rejoiced in excitement and anticipation at the arrival of the first day of their senior year, Santiago Fernández was definitely not part of the club. In fact, the Diablo everybody knew and loved -or, in some cases, hated with a passion- hadn’t been the same for some time now. The moment he’d gotten that call from home, his world had come crashing down, sending him on a downward spiral of sadness that didn’t seem to have an end.

“Santiago… Mi amor... Abuela Rosalba se nos fue…”

The brutal words that had come from the lips of his mother still stung as much as the first time he’d heard them. His beloved grandmother had passed away: his fiercest protector, the woman who’d raised him with nothing but love and patience and given him the world and more from the moment he’d been born. Hell, his parents had even named him after her maiden name, unbeknownst to just how deep the bond between grandmother and grandchild would be. To think that he would no longer hear the sweetness in her loving voice, feel the warmth of her kiss on his forehead, the gentle touch of her wrinkled skin on his own… It tore his already broken heart into a million different pieces just thinking about it.

From the moment of her diagnosis, Rosalba’s health had declined at a dishearteningly rapid pace. Diablo had wanted to fly back home immediately when he heard the news, but his parents were concerned about him losing the semester, which resulted in what was possibly the biggest fight he’d had with them yet. In the end, Manuel and Gabriela had won, so it was only after his semester was over that Santiago was able to be on the first flight back to Puerto Rico.

The moment he saw his once strong and mighty grandmother lying crippled on that hospital bed, the boy who hadn’t cried in ten years broke down in a series of heart-wrenching sobs. But once he’d pulled himself together, the young man never left Rosalba’s side, making it his burden to care for her as best as he could. Diablo’s friends -old and new- had tried reaching out in various ways, hoping to distract him from what was happening even if just for ten minutes. But it had all been in vain: Santiago had his full attention on his grandmother, and that wouldn’t be changing anytime soon. He was scared of leaving her side, afraid that if he was away for a single second his biggest fear would become a reality. And, alas, he’d been right. He’d gone back to the place he was staying at only to take a shower and head right back to the hospital when he’d gotten the call from his mother to break the news.

It was now officially a month since Rosalba’s death, and Diablo was nowhere near the path of healing.

When he finally mustered up the strength to get up from bed, Santiago went through the motions in silence: the shower, the teeth brushing, the grooming, the getting dressed and heading down to the kitchen. His mother received him with a warm smile and a tight hug, excited about her youngest son starting his senior year and announcing she’d made his favorite breakfast in celebration. And even though the young man was far from hungry, he put up his best fake smile and powered through. He kept up the charade for as long as he could, attempting to convince Gabriela and himself that life was going on as usual. But when the older woman mentioned with tears in her eyes just how proud Rosalba would be of him, Diablo knew it was time to go.

He’d gotten up from the kitchen table, put up his bravest face and consoled his beautiful mother. When he was sure she would be okay, Santiago hugged her tightly, kissed her goodbye before grabbing the keys to his Lambo and heading to the garage. In the comfort and safety of his car, Diablo’s mask threatened to fall off. He began to hyperventilate, afraid of breaking down again. So he did what he thought would be the his saving grace: he pulled out his phone and sent out a quick text to his best friend.

Diablo prayed with all his might that she would take him up on his offer. The pills in his Louis Vuitton bag were looking more and more inviting by the minute, but he’d be damned before he resorted to them to the suffocating pain away.

Upbringing Synopsis

Santiago Emmanuel Fernandez was born on a chilly April afternoon in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico to Manuel and Gabriela Fernandez, ten years after the birth of their first son Steven. He was raised by his maternal grandmother Rosalba up until he was old enough to attend pre-K. The older woman cared for her “santito” with all the love and attention in the world, spoiling and defending her youngest grandson in the way only a grandmother can. The lack of discipline from his primary caretaker made it so that Santiago got away with anything and everything, even though he was mostly on his best behavior whenever he was with Rosalba. The minute somebody else tried to straighten him out, the boy would lash out, and his grandmother would come to the rescue.

As expected, this would eventually become a problem. His school years attending the prestigious Baldwin School were marked by many incidents of disrespecting authority up until Santiago was old enough to realize that there were better ways to get what he wanted and receive the attention he deserved yet lacked from his parents. That’s when, as a teenager, he discovered the power of sports and females to fill the voids. It’s safe to say he hasn’t been the same since.

When Diablo was fourteen, his father had been offered the promotion of a lifetime as the Executive VP of Operations of the North American division of Actavis Pharmaceuticals. This was why, right after his middle school graduation, the Fernandez family relocated to their new home in Crown Heights. Upon his enrollment and arrival at King’s Academy, Santiago was quickly labeled one of the school’s most attractive males, which only served to inflate his already huge ego. His aptitude at sports earned him the respect and friendship of fellow jocks, and that made it so the climb to the popularity ladder was swift, effortless and quick. With that came the attention of the female population, something that Diablo took complete advantage of to continue on with the old habits of sleeping around, breaking hearts and doing it all over again.

On his first semester at King’s, Santiago noticed that there was a golden opportunity that was being missed: all these spoiled, bored rich kids, yet there wasn’t a single pill plug to tend to the needs of his fellow classmates. The wheels in his entrepreneur brain began to move, and soon he had figured out a way to carry out his operation. Arrangements were made, plans were put in motion and by the start of his junior year, Diablo officially became King’s Academy’s “Candy Man”. The reception to his assortment of “candy” was beyond what he could have imagined; and now on his senior year, Diablo’s Candy Shop has expanded itself to include steroids to those athletes in search of a way to enhance their appearance or performance.

He’s the boy who has it all: the looks, the fancy car, the hot girls, the steady stream of dollar bills coming through… It seems life can’t get any better for Santiago Fernandez.

Santiago’s Relations

Mi Princesa

"Things between Lils and I have been a challenge: with me screwing up often and her giving me chances I didn't deserve. It took almost losing her to somebody else for me to realize that if I didn't get my shit together, I would definitely lose her forever. Ever since then, I've been trying to be a better person for both her and Camila's sake. There will never be enough time or enough ways to tell her how fucking sorry and ashamed I am for the way I treated her when all she's ever done is love me. I know I don't deserve her and she could do so much better than me, but I'm really fucking grateful that she chose to stay.

I'm not afraid to say I love April Foster with every inch of my heart. She and our daughter have given my life the purpose it was lacking. She's going to be the best mom ever, and I'm going to be with her every step of the way. Mila and I are two very lucky people.

Mi Hermano

“Max is the one person in the world who I would trust with my life besides my family. He's been there for me through heaven and hell: always there when I need him and willing to help me in any way he can. Goes without saying he’ll be my baby girl’s godfather. I love him- no homo.”

Mis Disculpas

“Not long before I heard that l’d be the father of a little girl, I had an eye-opening epiphany. Would I ever want a guy to treat my daughter the way I’ve treated most of the girls in my life? Fuck no. I would murder if anybody disrespected my girl like that. And that made me realize that although I can’t go back in time and change how much of a piece of shit I was to these girls, I can at least apologize to them for acting like an asshole.

So, Julie: I’m sorry for ridiculing and humiliating you for so many years when the one who fucked up was me.

Stella: I’m sorry I wasn’t clear enough with my intentions and led you on. I’ve changed a lot since then.

Chrissie: I’m sorry I never told you about Jason cheating on you, and I’m even more sorry for glorifying it and covering his ass. You deserve a lot better than that.

And Chanel: although I haven’t directly hurt you, I’m sorry I hurt your two best friends. I swear I’m trying to do better.”

Los Conozco

“We may not be close, but I’ve heard of these people one way or another."

"I know of RiRi, because, well: who doesn’t know RiRi? She’s head cheerleader, captain of the volleyball team, Chrissie’s best friend, and the protagonist of Max’s wet dreams for a while now. Hell, maybe now that Kellie’s gone he’ll make a fucking move. I don’t know what’s taken him so long."

"Archer Diedrikson I know because he’s Max’s cousin and Warren’s little brother. That’s about it."

"Carter Newton? The man to go to when you want the best weed Palm Beach has to offer. Wouldn’t trade him for the world."

"Ariel Gray is Kavi’s crazy girlfriend who apparently thrashed his room when she found out he made out with Lils. That’s all I know about her, and that’s how I want to keep it. I don’t know what I would’ve done with myself if Lils had her temper…"

"Sonny Drake I know because his dad owns the Asgard gym that Max and I train at."

"And little Castillo? I don’t know her know her like I did her brother Mac Jr, but not only is her mom’s fucking Shady Jameson, but the little gremlin has a temper. She took a bat to both Vic Bailey’s car and Bradley Leone’s homphobic ass. Nah man, that’s not someone you want to mess with.”

Me Suenan...

"Who? I don’t know enough about any of these names, honestly. The only two people I recognize are Jack because he's in the football team (one of the best guys we have on the team), Nicole because she's a cheerleader, and that Shawna girl because she's got a hate boner for Max for some reason. The rest I've seen around but never directly interacted with them."

Hagamos La Paz

"Since this new year is all about me trying to be a better person, there's two other people I'll try to make amends with."

"I've never had any real issue with Kavi Salvador until he started acting like we were in some kind of competition. All I've wanted was to live my life and mind my own fucking business, but this guy had a way of getting under my skin like nobody else could. Usually I would brush it off. But when he went after April? That's when I lost it. But, see, here's the funny thing: I don't hate the guy anymore. If anything, in some weird way, I'm grateful for what he did. His stupid games made me realize just how much I love my girlfriend, and how scared I was of losing her. The only thing I'm still bitter about is how he was there for Lils when I wasn't, but I'm thankful she at least had someone on her side while I was busy being an asshole. I'd like to sit down and talk to him one day."

"And man, I really fucked up with Sawyer... Instead of helping a bro out with his shit, I treated him like shit when he needed me the most. I'm definitely going to apologize soon. He's a cool guy who just wanted to get better. He didn't deserve that."
