[Meet the McIntyres 03] • Fighting Back

Holly

Growing up, I was treated like a Princess.

But everyone knows, to get your happily ever after, you have to fight for the fairy-tale.

And I’d certainly endured more than my fair share of fights.

Relentlessly bullied at boarding school, my brothers brought me home to help me heal.

But I was scarred by the secrets I harboured, both inside and out.

Being home though, means risking everyone finding out my ugly truth.

And I can’t let that happen.

My family's a mess.

It's probably why I spend more nights asleep in my ute, than I do in my own bed.

I don't have the time or the energy to deal with anything more.

One day at a time is all I can handle right now.

Yet when I see her, the broken girl sitting alone in the dirt, I can't simply drive past.

Before I know what's happening my life's tangled with my tortured, beautiful neighbour.

And there's nowhere else I'd rather be.
