Ryan looked down at the leather wrist band and choker lying in his hands, they had been given to him by his father, that was before his fucking asshole of a father had been arrested again, how many times he had been arrested or charged for something, Ryan had lost count.

The boy that was forced to grow up to early, the boy that always took to much responsibility, the boy he wasn;t anymore. Although he was now a different person, he couldn't let go of his past, at least not that easily.
Ryan walked over to his chest of drawers and gently slipped the choker and cuff under his wife beaters.
