AJ Lynch. The golden boy of Tommen. Talented Hurler, Stable family. He has everything he wants, but he can't help but feel like something is missing. But when he meets Maddie Wilkinson. The quiet girl. Outcast and misunderstood, he feels he may have found the missing piece. But will they be able to be together, or will past family history separate them?

Anna Lynch was fucking petrified of men. Not just uncomfortable- terrified.She'd flinch if one of us so much as walked too close. She was always keeping herself pressed to walls, eyes darting for exits like she was planning an escape. And it wasn't just the loud ones or the gobshites. Even Johnny Kavanagh-her sisters boyfriend -made her recoil. That's when it really hit me. This wasn't nerves. This was trauma, stitched into every muscle in her body. The only lads she wasn't afraid of were her brothers-Joey and Darren. She stuck to them like her life depended on it, like they were the only two people in the world who'd never let her down. The rest of us? We were threats until proven otherwise #1-hughbiggs #1-chilhoodtrauma #1-mentalhealth #1-mutism
