When I moved from Australia to Cork, everything I knew was left behind. I had to leave my best friends, my old life, and the world where I felt like I belonged. My parents weren't divorced, but they weren't happy either, and I slowly started closing myself off from everyone, even my mum.
Before moving, I was a professional modern dancer. Dance was my entire life until gastroparesis changed everything. My stomach struggled to empty food properly, causing nausea, pain, and exhaustion that eventually forced me to give up the career I loved.
After moving into my family's huge mansion in Cork, I transferred to Tommen as the new Australian girl. Even surrounded by luxury, I felt completely alone. I kept my distance from everyone, hiding the grief of losing my old life and the dreams I had to leave behind.
Until Shannon Lynch reached out to me. Through Shannon, who was dating Johnny Kavanagh, I met Johnny's best friend, Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson. He was loud, funny, and impossible not to notice. Somehow, the boy who never stopped talking became the first person who made me feel like I wasn't just the girl who lost everything.
