Beneath the Surface: The Life of Montgomery De La Cruz by AtlantaG1912
Fandoms: 13 Reasons Why (TV)
07 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Before he became a bully, Montgomery De La Cruz was a boy trying to survive in a home where silence was protection and anger filled the rooms like smoke. This fanfiction explores his life from the moment of his birth to the tragic end, diving deep into the emotional and psychological damage that shaped his identity. Through moments of fear, brief glimpses of softness, and the devastating weight of internalized pain, the story asks: what makes someone cruel? And who might they have become if someone had intervened? Set against the backdrop of broken homes, high school locker rooms, prison cells, and unspoken truths, this is not a tale of redemption — it’s a confrontation with legacy, masculinity, and the way trauma echoes from father to son. It’s about the boy behind the bruises — and what it means when no one sees him until it’s too late.

Summary
There are kids in Evergreen who, should they suddenly disappear, would have the whole town looking for them within twenty-four hours or even less.
And there are kids who’d disappear and no one would notice. They would get up one morning, go about their day and not return home at night and for days, possibly weeks, no one would even know that something’s amiss.
When Justin disappeared from the face of the earth some time at the beginning of summer before their freshman year in high school, it took so long to notice his absence that once they did realize, it was impossible to tell exactly for how long he had been gone.

Summary
Montgomery de la Cruz was dead. Or so everyone thought.
Five years ago, Monty was a member of a deadly squad of elite assassins, him, Winston, Jessica, Zach, and Alex. Monty’s squad betrayed him in the most brutal way imaginable at his graduation party. They killed his little sister, Estela, and put Monty in a coma where he'd lie for five years.
Now, Monty is back, fueled by anger and with a list of names. Winston Williams was first up, the one who hurt him the most. His lover who once swore he’d never betray him. Monty doesn’t care how powerful Winston has become. This is personal, and he is going to break Winston's heart just like Winston did to him.
