When two hurricanes collide, destruction is inevitable. Tadhg Lynch has escaped his traumatic childhood. After losing his parents in a tragic fire, being adopted by the Kavanaghs at twelve gave him and his siblings a chance at a fresh start, a better life. But despite keeping busy with Tommen and Hurley, no one seems to notice that the stubborn, sharp-tongued boy is still trapped in the past. Haunted by nightmares and tormented by endless "what ifs," Tadhg struggles to escape his own mind, masking his pain with harsh words and a defiant attitude. The only person who refuses to back down from his temper is a freckled, headstrong girl in his class who matches his stubbornness blow for blow. Isabell Donnelly is bold, outspoken, and unafraid to give as good as she gets. She can take anything Tadhg throws her way. But beneath her fiery attitude is a girl suffocating under the weight of responsibility, with a mentally unstable mother, a father who can't find financial stability, and two younger sisters looking up to her for guidance. Isabell constantly doubts herself and never feels good enough; she barely has a moment to breathe. They may act like rivals, constantly at each other's throats, but something keeps pulling them together. Whether it's fate, frustration, or the simple fact that they see through each other's masks, neither can seem to walk away. And as much as they fight it, sometimes the person who pushes you the hardest is the one who understands you the most.

Tadhg lynch doesn't do feelings. He does trouble. And saying exactly the wrong thing at the right time. Sixteen, mouthy, and impossible to handle, Tadhg is the kind of boy teachers warn you about- and girls don't listen. Then there's Bethany Gibson. She talks too much and laughs too loud. Acts like nothing in her life has ever gone wrong. He doesn't believe it. And for some reason, he can't leave her alone. What starts as messing with her turns into something else- something a lot harder to ignore. Because Bethany's hiding something. And Tadhg's starting to look a little too closely.

Leah Daly has learned to survive by staying quiet. At home, silence keeps her safe. At school her mouth is her biggest tool. Until Tadhg Lynch - the boy she loathes - starts seeing through the cracks she worked to hard to keep hidden. Tadhg Lynch isn't looking for anyone to save him. He's got enough ghosts of his own. - A past that still haunts him and a father's shadow he can't outrun. Somehow, he can't seem to stay away from Leah.

Tadhg Lynch is the third youngest Lynch sibling, and is trying to make it through his years of Tommen without being recognized as Joey Lynch, Shannon Lynch, and Johnny Kavanagh's little brother. He wants to make a name for himself, but that's difficult when you're constantly living under the shadow of the legacies before you. Now in his fourth year and with a reputation as the school troublemaker, Tadhg is learning that life can be lived even when you are dubbed as the "little brother," and that some things and people can know him for him. Leah Daly just moved to Cork, Ireland from America, and it's safe to say that she isn't too happy about uprooting her life in the middle of high school. Angry about her parents' sudden divorce, and being picked up with her dad to live in the middle of nowhere, Leah is dropped off to start her sophomore year, or fourth year as Ireland calls it, at Tommen College. Full of pretentious rugby stars and trust fund kids, Leah runs into Tadhg, who automatically intrigues her. What happens when the troublemaking screw up, and the angry teenage girl cross paths and find their worlds forever altered?

Leah was lucky. After a lifetime of poverty, her and her mother were saved. She had new clothes, a new house, a fancy new school, a new step father, and everything she had ever lacked. But as it too often is, everything was too good to be true. Yes, her private school uniform is pristine but the bruises that lie underneath tell a different story. But she can hide it, she just has to get through this year, and then she can be free, but everything starts to unravel when she meets a boy. At age twelve, Tadhg was saved. He got out of that haunted house. He had adoptive parents that adored him, his siblings were happy, and he was finally safe. So why did he still feel this way? Why was he still on edge after all these years? He should be thriving like his brothers and his sister, and yet he wasn't. He was numb to it all, until he met her. She unraveled him. This is a Boys of Tommen fan fiction, following Tadhg Lynch and Leah Daly. This story is the third instalment in my 'Boys of Tommen You Series' and is connected to my other two stories, 'Seeing You' and 'Haunting You' but are not required to read before this one. Also I'll start updating this story once I finish 'Haunting You' All of these characters belong to Chloe Walsh, I do not claim any of them as my own, this is purely for fun. As there is not much information surrounding Tadhg and Leah's story, I won't be following any canon, and Leah's story will be entirely created by me. TW: This story will include character death(flashbacks), domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug addiction, smoking, mental illnesses and overall a lot of trauma. There will also be some explicit scenes that are 16+. I will however be putting specific warnings for different chapters, so you can avoid triggers. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy! (Comment any questions or suggestions that you have for me)
