holly, you evil EVIL cunt.

“your dad is disappointed with you and that’s your biggest problem? you have no fucking idea what the worst week of my life would look like.” she’s right.

‘that i might break down and actually tell them that i couldn’t sleep at night because i was afraid that mam would get up and leave and that she would come back drunk hours later. or that she wouldn’t come back. i couldn’t do that to her. i couldn’t betray her like that. i wouldn’t give myself the chance to either.’ 😭

not the daniel-napping 😂😭😭😭

‘i’d never met someone i hated more. would it have been wrong to burn her house down to get out? i’d kill daniel and the elder somethings in the process, of course, but you know, collateral damage…’ aideen, please 😂😭😭

“you’re obviously going to vote for holly and i don’t want it to seem like i’m trying to get information from you about her speech or anything.” meabh 😭

‘i hated being ashamed of being poor. i knew it wasn’t my fault. i knew it wasn’t even my mam’s fault. i knew that it didn’t make me a bad person or a lazy, stupid person. i knew all of that. in theory. and yet somehow i never stopped feeling like it was some kind of moral failing.’ 😭😭😭

those things belonged to some ugly, growling creature and i didn’t want them to belong to me. so i pretended they didn’t.’ 🫩🫩🫩

‘“aideen, tell me, what is hysteria?” “um, you know, when bitches be crazy?” i said’ jesus christ 😂😭😭😭

‘i tensed, on the lookout for signs of dad. nothing. my shoulders dropped. i should have realised he wasn’t there when i didn’t see the mark of satan hovering over the building.’ me, every day when i got home from school ☹️

‘they look at me like i’m about to batter them round the head with a bottle of cider and steal their handbags.’ 😂💀💀

‘“good thing she locked that cupboard again, eh?” i said when she was gone. “else she might come back to find us here absolutely off out tits, snorting lines of ibuprofen off the sink.”’ good god aideen is literally teenage me… minus the unnecessary physical violence
