Simon Riley was an awkwardly 18 year old who worked in a butchers. He did 5 days a week in order to pay for his tiny flat in Manchester— he had to move into to escape his bad family life. His father who is an alcoholic, who liked his belt, and mother who was an enabler.

you were a 17 year old who had to support her family. You had five little brothers—the youngest being 14 months old— and a mother who had a new boyfriend every week. Everyday you’d cook for them, clean, wash their school uniforms.

And today you were making your regular trip to the butchers. Leo, the youngest, in his pram. Needing to buy food to food to feed your siblings. The money was always left in a jar by your mother.
