Madison got the mess that was left behind.
In a house that smells like damp and cigarettes, Madison learns that love isn't soft, and growing up means choosing who to save - and who to let go.

She Will Be Loved ~Johnny Kavanagh by Poppymae1342
53 parts Ongoing Mature
When her dad told her he wanted better for her and her brothers-that he wanted her dreams to come true-he saved and borrowed money just to send Poppy to Tommen College. Poppy was scared. She'd never fit in anywhere. Why would this be any different? She'd grown up in a house where love didn't come easy. Her mother never wanted her-only ever wanted her father. From a young age, Poppy was used to being ignored or told she wasn't enough. The words her mother said clung to her, shaping her into someone insecure, anxious, and full of trust issues. When her dad finally left that toxic marriage, he packed up their lives and moved the family across Ireland to Cork. They weren't rich, but they were finally safe. Her dad, James O'Conner, worked long hours building the business he'd always dreamed of, just to give his kids a better life. He wanted his sons to succeed in law, sports, and music-and he wanted Poppy to chase her dream of working in fashion. Poppy had always felt like an outsider. Growing up with just her dad and brothers, she was the only girl in a house full of boys. She never had close friends, always feeling like the awkward one. At her old school, BCS, only Joey and his girlfriend Aoife made an effort to include her. They let her sit with them at lunch, but she was never sure if it was out of kindness... or just because Joey worked for her dad. The things that kept her going were small but powerful: clothes, fashion, romance novels, music, her little dog Goose... and seeing her dad and brothers finally smile. Now, standing at the gates of Tommen, she didn't know what to expect. The loud whispers, the stares-they weren't new to her. She was used to people noticing her. Ginger girls weren't exactly everywhere, and apparently some lads found her "attractive"-which she thought was total bull. Still, walking into the dining hall on her first day, she wasn't looking where she was going and- Slam. She hit something solid. Or rather, someone.

Tadhg Lynch is fire and silence. With a brutal past and a father who taught him fear behind closed doors, Tadhg wears his trauma like armor - sharp, defensive, and unreadable. Nightmares chase him, trust eludes him, and peace is something he's convinced he'll never earn. He recognizes pain the way others recognize faces - fast, instinctively. Especially in her. Ciara Bellemore is light dimmed too soon. Graceful and polite on the outside, she hides bruises beneath long sleeves and hope beneath whispered prayers. With a mother fading from illness and a home filled with silence and control, Ciara clings to the only comfort she knows: angels, feathers, and a belief in something better. When they collide, it's friction and fire. She thinks he's arrogant and angry. He thinks she's fake and fragile. But pain recognizes pain - and slowly, behind the bickering and glares, a quiet understanding grows.
