School had finished for the summer, and I was working as many hours as I could in a local business, playing at being a ‘grown up’ and trying to save some money. Looking back, I wish I could shake myself.Īs it was, it took exactly 72 hours for all of that to change. I genuinely believed that the worst thing that could happen to me would be getting a bad grade or missing a netball match. I don’t think I realised how good I had it. Sure, we bickered sometimes – I went nuts when I caught my younger sister smoking weed with her friends – but we pulled together and made a functional little family. My mum had died when I was a baby, so my two sisters and I were raised by our grandparents in the middle of nowhere in Wales. Until I was 15, my biggest concerns probably fell into three categories: friends, boyfriends and whether or not I’d remembered to pack my gym kit that day for school.
