Joey
Since the day I was born, I've been running away.
Running away from a drunk and abusive father and a dysfunctional mother.
Running away from little brothers who demand love and attention from me, which they never give them.
And where do I run?
to the hurling field where any champion of the game, returned by talent hunters.
Casual hookups with any girl looking for random, non-committal thrills.
To cut off dangerous substances that I can't go on without.
But when she's with me, I want to be present.
devour the world and just be.
Because for where Molloy is, I am ready to compose all the demons.
There's just one problem...
I'm the worst thing that ever happened to her.e
from the day I was born, I live up to expectations.
In my parents' expectations, they want a good, obedient and polite girl.
In the expectations of the teachers who want an excellent and diligent student.
In the expectations of the friends who want a funny, beautiful girl and the living spirit at every party.
But when I'm with him, all expectations disappear.
I want to be there for him.
fly with him to new heights.
To find a place without expectations and responsibility, without screwing up for others.
Because I'm addicted to Joey Lynch.
And it is the most dangerous drug there is.
