My Most Important People

I don't think I will ever love anybody as much as I love my mum. She's not perfect, no one is, but she's about as close as anyone could get. We don't always get on, but we do most the time, and most the time she is my best friend. I can talk to her about anything. No one can beat her.My dad is pretty great too. We have the same stupid sense of humour, and neither of us will ever grow up. He is the person I am most like.

My brothers are so different you would not know they are related. But I am the link between them; Jake and I both love silly films and trivia, and I have always looked up to him. Jamie is my baby, I look out for him but he looks out for me too. They are both amazing.

Carly might as well be my sister, except she is more like my air - I really cannot live without her. She has been there for me longer than any other person has and I can never thank her enough for that. She is everything to me.

I have known Sally since we were 11 years old and she is one of the most amazing people I have ever known. She is so positive, the life and soul of any party, and I can tell her anything. She makes any day so much better.

I don't even know where to start with Charlotte. She is the most beautiful person, inside and out. She feels about ten times more than anyone else, she is so passionate about life and art and writing, and she is my inspiration, in life and in everything.

Marie & Jess, although I have not been friends with them for a particularly long time, are so important to me. Marie has always been around but it's only been lately that she's become a best friend. She puts up with all my rubbish and is doing the most wonderful thing in the world; she is going to be a great mum. I haven't known Jess very long at all but as soon as we got talking, I realised just how alike we are. She puts up with a lot from me too and I can't thank her enough! Once upon a time she was just my friend's girlfriend - now she is one of my best friends.

Rich is the most perfect man, and I feel so lucky to have him in my life. I hate that he's so far away, but we talk all the time and he means so much to me. The girl he ends up with will be the luckiest girl in the world, because beneath his cool and anarchic exterior, he has a heart of gold.

Last, but by no means least, is Si. I could not cope without him. Some people might think I don't need him in my life; well tough, because I do. He is lovely, and deserves so much better than what he's been put through lately. He has made my life better just by being in it.
