Alijah McKinley It's been a few hours since school was officially over for the year elevens. I wanted to talk to Carly before she left but I had to wait for my friends as we were all going to celebrate getting out of this shithole, but they were still in school. I was out shortly after Carls. I strode out smiling finally out of school forever. My friends and I had signed up for the army and the training begins Monday. I can't wait to prove to everyone I'm worth something. More for Carly than anyone, dad is proud and mom is worried sick. Dad left the RAF’s when mom was expecting and has never once looked back. Mom knows what he's been through and how bad he suffers with PTSD on a regular basis. He goes to one of the clinics Hope Evans runs that's where he met her older brother Jaxon att
