'Amelia Naylor-Maconie is in pieces at 16 she's already lost more than most people do in a life time. But she's learnt how to forget.

Every new emotional scar hardens Drew's heart a little more yet it still hurts so much, it hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge. I can never win with this body I live in.'

Bianca replied "definitely the girls, Jac would kill me if I said I was moving to Edinburgh with them." There was a crash as Drew dropped her glass, her dads head whipped round gaining eye contact with his eldest daughter "Drew? I didn't see you there sweet..." but before he could finish the stunned Drew had legged it up the stairs and back into her room she sat against the door so no-one could get in her knees tucked under her chin. Her dad flew up the stairs after her "Drew... Drew please let me in let's talk" she just sobbed silently in the dark.
