Iamironman
One stormy night, two strangers break at the same time-one on the edge of a rooftop, the other already sinking. When Aiden Rivers pulls Brinleigh Hayes back from the ledge, neither of them realizes how deeply that moment will carve into their lives.
By morning, rumors spread faster than lightning, painting them as heroes, victims, liars, lovers-anything except what they actually are:
two broken teenagers trying to survive a world that keeps asking the wrong questions.
Aiden is the golden boy everyone trusts.
Brinleigh is the girl no one sees until they want something to talk about.
Together, they navigate whispers, cruelty, sleepless nights, and the fragile truth that saving someone isn't the same as healing.
But when a school retreat goes horribly wrong and the two are trapped overnight by a cruel prank, everything changes. Secrets slip out in the dark. Walls crack. And for the first time, they see each other-really see.
They aren't each other's fix.
They're each other's proof that staying alive is worth the fight.
A slow-burning, heart-wrenching contemporary story about trauma, survival, whispered honesty, and choosing to keep breathing-one quiet moment at a time.
