Ok first off there is a difference between what Damien did and what Ryker did. Damien made a bad choice for a good reason. He decided to work for Ryker in order to save a family members life. Don't lie and say you wouldn't do the same thing to save someone you love. Ok he spied on the MC that makes him evil? Hell I spy on my kids does that make me a bad person? He did not cause any physical harm to anyone. We were told he tried to prevent people from going outside. Was that to protect those people or to protect Ryker we don't know. Sure he could have tired to stop the fight, but if it went wrong he is putting a loved one in danger over the MC. I don't know about you but someone I love comes first over someone I met not even a week ago. Don't give me that crap he used Jasmine, we don't know 100% sure that he is gay, it could have been an act to try to protect Jasmine. We are too quick to assume things here about Damien.
I know no matter what I say I can't change your minds about Damien but until I am proven wrong he can have a second chance.
He could of made one freaking phone call, texted Jasmine, did something. Skye said they had to restrain his ass. So he was fighting against those inside. He did use Jasmine gay or not.
As for everybody would betray and backstab others to help a "sick relative" or they are lying. No sir. No lies i would not cause it would kill my mother more to know that I used and endangered others that trusted me, to do it. She would be so ashamed.
Instead I would rob cheat and steal from those I despise or have wronged me in the past cause again I'm petty.
I love that you look for the best in people. But there are too many reasons even if over half them turn out to be wrong that I never want Damien to be redeemed or worse magically back in school and playing ball. He should be in jail or worse
