Author: Mara
Fandom: The OC
Word Count: 1060
Rating: R
Warnings: Some violence (Mostly in flashbacks), language, possibly sex
Summary: "You hit me, even once, and I swear to god it'll be the last time you ever lay a finger on me."
Notes: Response to brandywine421's AU Challenge prompt #45, submitted by garnigal. Ummm... yeah... you'd think with a prompt like 'Sandy has a drinking problem instead of Kirsten', the fic would be ABOUT Sandy... but no, it still wound up being about Ryan... lol... Sandy and the rest of the Cohens WILL appear, but... it's all about Ryan and his journey in life...

This is also somewhat a response to one of brandywine421's old 15 Minute Challenge prompts (the first batch). The last line is anyway... lol...

( Never Again: Chapter One )

I can absolutely promise a soundtrack for this fic, but it's kinda spoiler-ific, so I can't post it until at leats I'm past any spoiler-y moments... lol

On a side note? I discovered a copy of 'The Writer's Book Of Matches' at Barnes & Nobles today and bought it... so many goods prompts in there... lol...
