“You’re my favorite person in the whole wide world, and I would swap everyone for you. Even Hugh.”
“Please don’t take her away from me.”
OHHH here come the tears 😭😭😭
My brother and his friends were seven. I was only five.
omfg 💔
Apart from Gerard and Shannon, Lizzie was my third favorite friend in the world.

“But your hugs feel like sunshine.”
“Like sunshine?” I frowned in confusion. “How?”
“Because you are sunshin...

Sniffling back another sob, he blew out a shaky breath. “I’m all alone now.”
ugh my heart ☹️💔
“I like your face when you do that,”
“Do what?”
“Smile,” I explained. “It makes my tummy wobble.”
If drugs were to Joey Lynch what Claire Biggs was to me, then there was no amount of rehab that could sway me to kick the habit. Because she was the habit of my lifetime.
real yearning wow
“Did I just hear that asshole ask you to snuggle?”
get him for me hugh hehehehe
“Come on, Gerard,” I groaned, shaking my head. “Don’t rise him.”
“That’s what I tried to tell your sister last night.”
AYOOO LMAOOO
Being alone fucked with my head worse than anything else. Because being alone meant that I had to think. And I fucking hated thinking.
oh gibsie ☹️
“Gibs, I’d let my ma adopt the whole bleeding school if it meant that I got to keep that girl.”
YUHHHHHH
“Little Shannon, huh?” I grinned. “What a number she did on your heart, lad.”
I’d seen similar cuts on Lizzie’s body in the past, but not for a very long time. The faint scars that adorned her inner wrists had appeared in the months that followed her sister’s passing.
NOOOO i just know her book is gonna break me 😭💔
“Did you just see that?” I demanded in outrage, pointing an accusing finger in the direction of my mother’s one-balled Persian. “He tried to push me down the stairs.”
LMAO
“Hi, Gibs,” the smallest of the three acknowledged with a shy smile.
“Little Shannon.” I smiled warmly at my best friend’s girl
God only knows why. It’s not like his life is terrible. Pretty girlfriend. Pretty sister. Pretty fantastic life if you ask me.”
she’s so real
“I’m still here. I made it. He didn’t beat me.” Smiling softly, she gestured to herself and then our surroundings. “And look at my life now.”

“And I’ve got you, Binding 13,” she cooed, attempting and failing to ruffle his hair. “So pretty.”
SHANNON UGHH I LOVE HER
Sometimes I wished I didn’t feel the way I did, but you can’t change the heart’s direction once it sets sight on its destination.
all poetic
had a tattoo on his left rib cage with the word Resilience in italic font that was decorated with a feather in black, and then a tiny Care Bear on his right hipbone.
SHUT THE FRICK UPP! he has a care bear tattoo AWWW
“Aw. You score tries and make breakfast.” I smiled. “You’re such a keeper.”
hellll yeahhh he is, okayyyy “Keeping 13” word play!!
I could hear ye all bleeding night. Like an old married couple. Communicating through snores in your sleep, the pair of ye.”
LMAOOO
“Yeah, because stick and stones will break my bones and words will make me starve myself to death.” Lizzie narrowed her eyes. “Isn’t that how the saying goes?”
oh lizzie i can only defend you so much, going after katie & her ed like that was just so wrong ☹️
Without a word, Katie stood up and walked away from the circle, and then, with a devastated look on his face, Hugh stood up and hurried after her.
☹️☹️☹️
“Baby, I’ve watched you get stung by a bee and not retaliate.”
“Because we need to save the bees!” Shannon urged.
😭🫶🏼
“The youngest two are worth meeting,” I tossed out, bouncing off the last step. “But the middle fella is a demon.”
LMAOOO tadhg & gibsie fued is so funny to me
“Little Shannon.” I smiled. “How’s my second favorite girl in the world?”
😛🥹
And by God was Joey Lynch a stallion.
RAWRRR
“Oh, my sweet summer child,” Aoife laughed with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “How much I could teach you about the world.”
“Then teach me, oh wise one,” I shot back with a grin. “I’m all ears.”
“You are being safe, right, girls?”
“Right,” Shannon confirmed
while I blurted out, “I’m...

“I knew I always liked that girl,” he told Shan, while pointing to me. “Keep her.” He turned back to me. “Lock and key, ya hear?”

“You know, I think I’d love a daughter.” He scratched his jaw as he spoke. “I’d be delighted with sons, too, of course, but I’d love to raise a little girl with Shan.” Shrugging, he added, “You know, show her how different it should’ve been for her.”
johnny kavanah a girl dad confirmed PLEASEEE
“That’s not the dick I’m worried about escaping,” Mam muttered under her breath.
brooooooo LMAOO
Patrick stared blankly at me for a long beat before arching a brow. “What are you up to, Baby Biggs?”
“Gerard.” Her tone was soft, too fucking soft to handle in this moment, and when she covered the hand I had resting on the gear stick, I almost lost it. “It’s okay to not be okay.”
“How’s your day going, troublemaker?”
Tadhg grinned back at me. “A lot better for seeing you, blondie.”
“He clearly gets it from his mam,” Lizzie drawled.
