"Keelan I don't want to goooo" Four year old Coryn cried at her older brother, taking her to her first day of school, more like dragging her.

"Coryn, just go okay, you'll be fine" he rushes her inside, making sure not to be late for his bus to school.  Coryn walked inside the school gates, all alone, she felt a tap on her shoulder and when she turned around she saw this boy with brown hair and brown eyes, about her age.

"Hi, I'm Mason, what's your name?" The boy introduces himself to the brown haired girl.

"Coryn" She smiles, the two become quick friends throughout the day, Coryn talking Keelan's ear off about her new friend.

"Cor, Masons here" Keelan shouts from downstairs, seven old Coryn runs down the stairs to the kitchen, seeing her best friend and a tall brown hair lad stood beside him.

"Coryn, meet Declan" Mason introduces his best friend to his new friend he met at the football academy. Coryn introduced herself and from that moment, they all knew they'd be stuck with each-other for a long long time.

"Coryn,Keelan, I'm so sorry" Their Aunt Helena says to the brother sister duo.

"Thanks Hel" Keelan says, he's been doing most of the talking, Coryn still can't comprehend what's happened, she just sits and looks at people, or the floor.

"Cor, look at me" Keelan says to his little sister, she complies. "She's here, right here, she always will be" he says pointing to her heart.

"Why Mum? Why her?" Coryn says to her brother, emotion raw in her voice. Their mother passed away the day previous from a car accident, drunk driver scenario, no survivors. Coryn look to the door, her mood lifting a bit when she sees her partners in crime enter.

The two ten year olds run up to their best friend and give her the biggest hug they can manage. They pull back and give her a bunch of daisies they picked themselves, she smiled at them. Keelan looked over the situation, thanking god for how good his sisters friends are to her.

2011
"We are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to play 'Amanda' in the Maiden. Filming starts 19/08. We look forward to seeing you- oh my christ" Coryn reads out to her brother and father, Keelan jumping out of his seat to congratulate her.

They look to their father, a plain look on his face. He works away a lot, well he works away, but spends more time away then he should be, not wanting to be in a home where his every need isn't tended to.

"What's wrong da?" Coryn asks, her wide smile fading a bit at her fathers reaction.

"An actress? It's a waste of a life and job, they always go downhill, one good movie and boom! they fail" he says getting up, Keelan steps infront of Coryn and looks up at his father.

"Don't dare say anymore, she can do what she wants and she will be amazing at anything, we don't need you, we've been just fine while you've been away" he rants, Keelan has been more of a dad to Coryn then their real dad will ever be, so it won't be a loss but Coryn always looked up to their father, up until she was seven and he started to have a wondering eye, she was the biggest daddy's girl.

Their dad storms out of the house, Coryn starts crying at the encounter, Keelan soothes her, whispering 'we'll be just fine'  into her hair.

"Come on, Mase and Dec have a game, you can tell them your news!" Keelan says lifting his petite sister up and carrying her to his car to drive to her best friends match.
