Eve and Joey were born in Sicily, Catania Italy. She helped her mother to take care of her younger brother. After some time her father wanted a better life so he moved us to Liberty City. It was all ok until their father couldn’t find work and started to drink. We were very poor and didn’t have a lot. As time went on their dad’s drinking got worse. Mom tried very hard to take care of us working odd hours just to make sure we had food on the table. With dad drinking he started to get violent. He didn’t hit mom or Eve as he didn’t want to hurt the “working girls”. He started to hit Joey. It got to the point that Eve had hid her brother when their father was drinking as she didn’t want him to get hit. Joey and Eve, with the age difference, they stuck together.

After a while their mother got very sick. So Eve and Joey took it upon themselves to take care of her and each other. Joey and Eve would hit houses together and of course sell what they had gotten from the houses. They also sold a lot of drugs. One day on one of the house robberies Eve wasn’t with her brother and he got caught. When he went to court the Judge told him he had a choice: he can go to prison or join the Military. Well Joey decided that a great way to get away from our abusive father was to join the military.

Eve wasn’t happy but knew that he would be away from our father. Joey had joined the Marines and was in for 3 years. He kept in touch with Eve as they still were close. It was very hard for him to keep in touch when he was in Iraq and Syria. In Syria Joey would lose his best friends in an ambush. Joey excelled at that moment though earning a Purple Heart as well as the Bronze Star for saving his other comrades. Eve was so proud of him. He wrote her a letter saying that he and a few friends he met were going to head to Los Santos to bury his comrades and leave Liberty City. Eve was sad that he was going but as Mom was very sick and Eve needed to take care of her. Joey wanted Eve to join him but she couldn’t leave.

After a Year of Joey being back, Mom took a turn for the worst and passed away. That left Eve with her drunken father. He then got very abusive towards Eve. It got so bad that she spiked his drink to make him sleep. She then packed her bags and left and headed to Los Santos. She didn’t want to tell her brother that she was on her way.
