The Things We Carry

Some people carry their pain loudly.
Other's hide it until they fall apart.

Aoife Molloy never expected Liam Irwin to be her disaster. Quiet, Mean, Impossible. He arrives at BCS carrying more anger, and heartbreak than anyone should know how to deal with. Everyone tells her to stay away.

But she doesn't.

Because she see's beneath the bruised knuckles, and the sharp mouth. She see's someone who looks as lost as she feels, trying to make her way around school, and life, without coming back into paths with Joey Lynch. Her 'biggest mistake.'

Joseph Lynch is barely keeping his head above water, when Fiadh Murphy crashes into his life with patients, and refusal to look away, from the broken, shattered parts of him. What starts as a unwanted friendship, quickly becomes something dangerous. Hope.

But boys like Joey don't believe in happy endings.

And people like Liam don't know how to stay when thing's fall apart.
