Tanner woke up and started having a panic attack. He woke up in a cage and realized his wrists were tied. He heard footsteps and struggled.

"Hi son" he said 

"Dad let me go" Tanner screamed

"Not until you change your ways" 

"Dad, mom accepted me for dating Corey"

"People like you and Corey"

"Dad, I wont stop loving Corey" Tanner screamed

Tanners dad unlocked the cage and grabbed him. Tanner winced as his dad slapped him. His dad forced him into a chair and tied him tightly. 

"What are you doing" Tanner said 

Tanners dad grabbed a cloth and roll of tape. Tanner kept his breathing normal and looked scared and felt his hair get pulled back. His dad stuffed the cloth in his mouth. Tanner cried as a piece of tape went over the cloth. 

"Now, of your gonna behave like dog.Ill treat you like a dog." he said

Tanner looked scared as his dad cut off his shirt. He tried to stay calm as a collar went on his neck. 

"Now you'll be a good boy and stay" his dad said 

Tanner looked scared as he left. He took calm even deep breathes to make sure he didn't faint. Tanners dad came and took the tape and cloth off and started untying him. 

"Dad whats going on" Tanner said 

Tanners dad took him outside. Tanner was dragged to a boarded stone wall with only a way in and not out. Inside their was nothing but dead grass and a little doghouse.  Tanner was thrown in and looked scared. 

"Have fun... dog" his dad said laughing

Tanner was trapped, with no where to go. He looked around and sighed.

"Help" he said quietly. He sat in the grass and sighed. Later on he saw his dad bring him water and food. His dad went behind him and tied his arms behind him. 

"Eat up my little one" he said before leaving. 

Tanner went face first into the food. He was hungry he hasn't eaten anything since before football practice. He drank some water and used it to clean his face off.  Later that night Tanner was laying down and moaning to see if anyone could hear him. 

"Help" Tanner moaned

"Anyone" he said 

He saw his dad come out pissed off off. He had the cloth and tape and stuffed the cloth in his mouth. His dad wrapped the tape around a couple of times. 

"Shut up you little brat" his  dad said before slapping him.

Tanner watched his dad leave. He muffled cries knowing no one can help him now. With Corey he was with Tanners mom. He sat down on the floor. He sighed as Tanner's mom came and picked him up and hugged him. 

"Corey it will be ok." Tanners mom said 

"Really" Corey asked softly.

"Yeah, youre a strong kid. Tanner would want you to be storng" she said 

Corey left to go to Tanner's bedroom. He smiled at pictures. He sat down on the bed and smiled. He knew she was right and he will be strong.
