At the age of 19, finn shelby is the baby of the family. But not for long. As a face from the past comes back to haunt him and brings with her a little girl. Finn is quick to find out the child is his and will do everything in his power to care for...
There they all stood as they watched her go deep underground. In the dark where there was no sun to shine and no birds to sing. Just pure darkness. She never liked the dark.
Her father watched, holding onto his son like his last lifeline. Like Dan was the only thing keeping him afloat which in truth, wasn't entirely wrong
Her brother wept for his sister, his mother, birth and adoptive, his father and his dad. He wept for everyone he had ever lost or was scared of losing
Her uncles tried to stay strong for their brother. But it was harder than anyone could imagine. People saw the pain in there eyes and the tears threatening to fall
Her aunts cried silently, knowing she wouldn't want them to be sad, but not being able to control the flood of devastation that has been brought upon the shelby family
Her friend Alfie had a straight face on, no emotion showing although those who knew him, could see he was screaming on the inside for justice to he served
Her mother stood in the crowd of people, feeling regretful for what she let go and sorrow for ever causing her daughter harm both mentally and physically
Her cousins wept especially her best friend Jack who had not seen her since her mothers death due to all the pain and heartache the family was feeling
Everyone who had ever met the girl loved and cried for her. They sobbed. They screamed. And some just came to pay their respects whilst trying to hold it in.
The family could never be the same after that day. No one ever saw Dan smile or laugh until when he was 13, and killed a man who insulted his sister many months before she had even passed. Finn try to be brave for his son but failed in raising the boy. He didn't care what Dan got up to. He let him stay out till all hours and didn't have the energy to say otherwise. The shelbys fell into even more of a mess than usual. It was hard for them to connect with finn. And after so much grieving, Finn took his son and moved away to America. The shelbys saw finn only once after that. When he was about to jump of a bridge and maybe they should've let him. Maybe if they didn't stop him, then he wouldn't have gone through the pain when his son was killed in a street fight at age 14. Nothing could ever be the seem without Finns baby girl in the picture. It was a broken life that they had tried to escape so many times
