a fan-fic about the horrific incident at the lynch's house, but if johnny hadn't saved the kids - the aftermath of the fire.

She didn't run away. She survived. Edel was sixteen when she realized that love at home always smelled of alcohol and safety was a foreign concept. Between screaming parents, unpaid bills, and siblings forced to grow up too fast, she was left with only one choice: Leave-or end up the same way. With a bag full of clothes, a broken heart, and no destination, she boarded a bus to Cork. She didn't know where she would sleep. She didn't know who she could trust. All she knew was that Dublin would have destroyed her. But sometimes running away leads you to exactly where you first stayed. To a family that wasn't perfect, but was there. To a boy who listened to her without trying to fix her. To a life that slowly began to feel like hope. John Kavangh was the last thing she expected. But 17-year-old John isn't just the captain of the school's rugby team, he's also the most popular boy in school. However, his eyes are solely on a girl whose life couldn't be more complicated.

I had always thought rugby was all I was. That's what I believed defined my worth. Until I met her. From that moment, I found myself searching for her in every little thing I did. Any excuse would do just to be near her. She was in my head and I couldn't shake her-not that I wanted to. I loved her. I craved her. She had been a tough one to get. And even harder to keep.

Edel Doyle was sixteen when she ran from Dublin with nothing but a backpack, bruised knuckles, and a lifetime of reasons not to trust anyone. John Kavanagh was the respectful golden boy who offered her a place to stay, and accidentally became her home. A story about addiction, healing, first love, and the family you find when you thought you were impossible to love. note: This is a fanfiction based on john and edel kavanagh's backstory from the boys of tommen series by chloe walsh. some of what's included here is canon, like edel growing up in ballymun, running away at sixteen, being taken in by the kavanaghs, attending tommen, and later building a life with john, but a lot of their earlier story hasn't been fully shown in the books yet. because of that, this fic also includes my own interpretations, theories, and completely made-up details to help fill in the gaps and connect everything together. scenes, dialogue, timelines, relationships, and specific events are fictionalized by me, but written to fit the characters, their personalities, and the overall tone of the series as closely as possible. basically, this is my version of what could've happened before boys of tommen, a mix of canon facts and my own imagination to build john and edel's full story.

Edel doesn't do soft. She doesn't do safe. And she definitely doesn't do sober. She walks into BCS with sharp eyes, dirty secrets, and an addiction she pretends she controls. A dead father. An alcoholic mother. A home that never felt like one. Until John Kavanagh. John has money, a future, and a family that still works. A life Edel was never meant to touch. Different worlds - same school. She doesn't need saving. He doesn't know he's trying anyway. Some girls don't run because they're reckless. They run because staying would kill them.
