The Gangleader's Right Hand Man

"Why are you so mean to everyone?"

"Because if I'm good, people expect good, and I don't want to live up to anyones standards."

Ricky Montez has always been sensitive. But as he got older, he learned to hide it. He's been through enough, not knowing his birth mother much, and the only memories he has of his father are the beatings he used to give him before he was taken into foster care. In and out of homes. Grandmother passing away he still feels guilty for. He's 28 and has yet to find his one true love. He's been hurt, has hurt, and is hurt.

Then she comes along, after all these years of torture, she's the only one who makes him feel as if the whole world is in place, the only one who can show him that not everyone is bad. To show him that she's not gonna leave like everyone else did. Show him he can be happy..
