Cara Lynch, the third-born child in a large and turbulent family, has long been the unofficial mother to her five siblings. At just 16, she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, forced to protect her younger siblings from their abusive father while her disengaged mother offers no help. Despite the chaos at home, Cara finds comfort in her tight-knit group of childhood friends-Hughie Biggs, Gerard Gibson, Patrick Feely, and later, Johnny Kavanagh. But it's Hughie, now 17, who has always been her rock, quietly watching over her and carrying a deep, unspoken affection for her. For years, Hughie has harbored a secret crush on Cara, admiring her strength, resilience, and selflessness from a distance. When Cara is barely 16, their friendship deepens into something more, and their connection blossoms into a tender and fierce love. It's a slow burn, but one that feels inevitable-Hughie has always been there for her, and now, he becomes the one person who shows Cara what it means to be cared for in return. Though Cara is used to protecting others, she's never had anyone to protect her, just her older brother Joey, as Darren left them when he was 18. But Hughie is different. He steps up in ways she never imagined, keeping her secrets, standing by her side, and offering her the kind of unwavering support she's never known. He becomes her safe place, the one constant in her stormy life. As their love grows, Cara begins to feel a sense of security she's never experienced, even as she remains trapped in her toxic home environment.

Together through thick and thin since senior infants, Tadgh and Lilibeth are inseparable. What happens when the truth comes out and all of their heavily packed trauma and secrets come out? Will their friendship survive? This is a slow burn. I think I'm going to make another book after this one, and they might not even get together in this book. If they do there will be NO SMUT. Tadgh and Lilibeth are 6-12 in this book, and i don't feel comfortable writing about that stuff when their minors, that being said, keep in mind that for this book Lilibeth and Tadgh are TWELVE. This book is based in 1999-2005, and they aren't 18 until 2011, so womp womp. Most of the storyline belongs entirely to Chloe Walsh, apart from Lilibeth's backstory. All characters apart from Lilibeth, Annalise, Adam and Lilibeth's parents also belong to Chloe Walsh. This whole story is fictional, and any resemblance to people in real life, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. There will be mentions of SA, domestic abuse, drugs, etc. If you don't like or are uncomfortable with the topic, I would not recommend this book. ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀꜱ.

I'm about to tell you a story about a girl. A normal girl. A girl that had no cares in the world, until her trust for it was stripped away. When you read her story, you'll find yourself trusting her, loving her, rooting for her. But you see, not everyone gets to trust the world. Not everyone has a happy ending. --- Halfway through the kiss however, his attitude changed; instead of being a loving embrace, it became a fierce trap. His grip on her waist tightened, trapped her where she was instead of simply holding her where he wanted her. The hand in her hair grabbed a section of it, enforcing his demand for her not to go anywhere. Before she knew what was happening, he left go of her hair, and pushed her to the ground. She gasped, suddenly able to breathe. He stood up and walked over to her. He placed a soft hand on her cheek, just like he used to when he was telling her how special she was to him. None of the emotion was there this time however, all she could feel radiating from his was rage. "You shouldn't have run off, babe," he said bitterly. "I was about to show you how much I loved you. Instead, I now have to show you what happens when you anger me." --- The men regarded her, before she was shoved to the ground and one produced a whip. There, laying broken on the floor, as the other girls watched, she was whipped. Slowly, she felt her skin breaking in time with her heart and her will.

The talents of an artistic girl are far more worthy than ever imagined.

She was there she saw it all and she kept quiet. Because despite how much she had been through she was never one for dramatics. "Curiosity breeds familiarity. Familiarity only ever brings friendship and friendship always makes things harder."
