History

When Justin was only four years old, his parents relationship wasn't going very smoothly, that they got a divorce. Since then, he'll go back and forth living in Chelsea with his mother and in Brooklyn Heights with his father. His father remarried another woman who has a son, who became Justin's stepbrother. To Justin his stepbrother barely knows him.

Justin and Via first met when Via wanted to spend more time with the smart kids and not the popular ones. The two became friends and eventually started dating. Via made lies that she was an only child.

One day, Via brought her boyfriend to her house and introduced him to her brother, August. Justin was a little shocked by his appearance, but he didn't insult him. He also got meet Auggie's friend Jack, who were working on their Science Fair project(the Spud Lamp).

Justin, Via, and Miranda were all rehearsing for their play, our town. Via confesses that she had kept her and Miranda's "breakup" a secret from him. She also confesses that she had never told her parents about the play and fears that if they take Auggie, everyone will insult her about her brother. Justin tries to comfort his girlfriend.

On the day of the play, there was no concern to make Via uncomfortable when she performed as an understudy for the female protagonist. Miranda was the original actor, but refused to perform.

On Auggie's graduation ceremony, Justin along with Via, Miranda, Jack, Summer, and the relatives of the Pullman family celebrate the happy occasion.
