Simon had been your boyfriend since year seven, when you were aged 12. Now you were both 17 living in a tiny flat together within Manchester. It was all you could afford with your minimum wage jobs.

He was a butcher, meaning he spent most his time out the back, as for you, you worked in a cafe. You just much better people skills than Simon.

Both of you would go out on the weekends, drinking having fun. Simon would occasionally get into fights with random men. Hence why he near always had a cut or bruise.
