[name_m]Trevor[/name_m] [name_u]Vern[/name_u] [name_m]Bellamie[/name_m] (6 [name_u]July[/name_u] 1989 - 22 [name_u]December[/name_u] 2012, aged 23) was the son of Juno’s former next-door neighbors growing up, growing up from the infamous couple, but at the time he and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] didn’t know each other well. He was only 1 year old when his father was in police custody. After his father was convicted, he was taken into foster care and ended up remaining there until adulthood. The rest of his family never contacted him and he felt like it wasn’t their fault but rather his father’s fault they never contacted him out of pain over what happened with his mother. Still, he wished he wasn’t so isolated. He had no funds for college so he was forced to spend his adulthood in a job he didn’t like in a neighborhood that was old and somewhat broken-down although he was fortunate enough to have a 2-story home. He lived between an old lady who people-watched but never talked to anyone and a man who loved socialising but just never with his neighbors because he thought they were uncool. Although he was rather irritable with being “unwanted” as a person, he felt good knowing he could use his adult life to help kids and make their lives better. In his early twenties, he decided to go to community college and take classes in sociology and child development before going to university and getting a degree although his biggest concern was the possibility of taking a student loan and digging into deeper poverty by loan debt. Still, he felt he needed a good job and felt there was something potentially wrong with the houses on his street but loved his city. He stayed within the same city he grew up in and saw a man harassing a boy who appeared to be his son. He tried to tell him off but the man grabbed his son and drove away in his car before he could do anything. He used this time to write down everything he remembered from the man, son, and his car in case the information could be used again. He also saw [name_f]Juno[/name_f] again when strolling around town and learned of her own job as a social worker at CPS which he admired. She learned that he was the baby of her former neighbors growing up and was noticeably traumatised remembering how scary and dangerous their relationship was. He told her that he was safe and okay and that he deeply feels awful for the pain his late mother went through. That moment, he stopped feeling so angry that he never had any close bonds and started feeling lucky that he wasn’t killed by his father. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] respected his new thoughts but believed he still deserved to be cared about. She taught him about her job and what he would need to finish in school to get there, knowing he was interested in following a similar path. She also heard he was discussing details from a man who was being cruel to his son before they drove away and [name_f]Juno[/name_f] encouraged him to keep finding more evidence and report it. Later that year, he worked as a teaching assistant at an elementary school and had some very real conversations with children at the school. He worked closely with [name_f]Juno[/name_f] as well, reporting any abusive issues the children had to her.
On [name_u]Winter[/name_u] Break that [name_u]December[/name_u] 2012, while [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] was watching the night sky, he heard his social neighbour having a [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] party and heard a familiar voice of one of the guests. He went on the balcony of his house and got a closer look. The guest was the infamously dangerous father and noticed his son was at the party too along with a baby girl, who turned out to be a young [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]. Trying not to cry on the balcony like his late mother had been seen doing, he decided to film the father to get evidence. He filmed the father yelling and trying to hurt the boy, before locking him in the backyard of the house in the cold. He had gotten the evidence he needed to get the man convicted but while trying to turn back and go back inside his house, the balcony railing broke, and he fell down two stories. He was still conscious and felt no pain, but the old lady neighbor saw the fall and encouraged him to lie down anyway. He limped back inside the house and lied down on a bed. The old lady was glad he rested up and an hour and a half later, she knocked on his door to see if he was better. She got no answer and creaked open the door and said “Hello?” She went to the bedroom on the first floor and saw him in bed but noticed he had no pulse and wasn’t breathing. She called a physician, who pronounced him dead. Turns out he was unable to feel his injuries due to an adrenaline rush but he had actually been badly injured internally and succumbed to the untreated injuries. She hoped he had died peacefully but feared he may have felt the full impact after the adrenaline wore off and the agony made him unable to move from his bed, leaving him stuck there in pain until he died. However thanks to her, he was still able to give kids the gift of life by being an organ donour and the police were able to rule his death an accident. After his death, the city realised the houses on that street were too old and very unsafe and even if the balcony didn’t give in on him, other residents on the street may have died decades later from the lead paint that many houses had. While his house didn’t have it, the old lady’s house had black mold and many of those houses with toxins were also taken down and rebuilt. His house was free of toxins but had very little stability so it was remodeled and updated. Years after many of the people were forced to move out for safety concerns, the new houses were finished.
So what happened now? Unfortunately things have gone horribly wrong for [name_f]Naomi[/name_f]’s family due to her brother abused by his father eventually being murdered by him and she and her siblings being cared for by [name_f]Juno[/name_f] and her friends who hold them in their foster home so luckily she and her sisters are in safe care and are not in danger. And for [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] [name_m]Bellamie[/name_m] himself? Due to having no contact with his family, he never had a funeral. However [name_f]Juno[/name_f] remembered that fateful day years ago when Trevor’s mother died and personally paid to have him buried next to her. For many years however, he was mostly forgotten even by people on the street he lived at, since many residents left when the houses were redone and didn’t return. The person living in his now-remodeled former house is actually the prosecution lawyer for the upcoming trial. This lawyer didn’t know at the time of the death in the home since she purchased the home over three years after the death occurred and the seller didn’t have to disclose it. She only found out after her kids insisted, “Our house is haunted by a ghost!” The lawyer didn’t believe in ghosts and even the people on the neighborhood who did believe in ghosts said that no one was actually going to get possessed and that it was a harmless ghost. One of the neighbors, the old lady, who returned to her house after the house fixes, was having memory loss and one day found Trevor’s cell phone in her house. She must have taken it with her by mistake while leaving his house after he was found dead. However she forgot he had died and went to the remodeled house to return it to him, thinking he still lived there. She left the phone on the doorstep and the lawyer later found the phone in confusion as to whose phone this was. The phone was cracked but still worked. But what stunned her was the video of Naomi’s father abusing his son and that the phone showed the video was from 2012. She was appalled by the fact that the video was filmed but never reported and believed the filmer was doing it for entertainment purposes before learning the filmer died before he could report it. It greatly bothered her that [name_m]Trevor[/name_m] the filmer had to die because had he survived, Naomi’s brother could have survived as well. But finding the video would be important now because this would add steeper charges and added counts of abuse to the trial and would bring justice closer. The couple currently raising [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and her younger twin sisters agrees and like [name_f]Juno[/name_f], also places flowers on the Bellamies’ graves alongside Naomi’s older brother.
