I Need You to Save Me: Boys of Tommen fanfic

Ollie Lynch is not fine, not even close. It's been years since his Da tried to kill him and his family, and everyone has moved on, everyone but Ollie. It doesn't help that Ollie's best friend since junior infants died back in the first year. Now, Ollie is a master at pretending, pretending he has moved on, pretending to be okay, pretending he doesn't burn himself each night. His walls are built high and impossible to break, or at least he thought.

Isabella Smith is running from a dark past of her own. The foreign exchange student from Austin, Texas, is terrified. She is terrified her cousin is not okay, terrified she won't escape her past, terrified she won't forget. All she wants is for someone to listen, someone to understand. That person just so happens to be a random blond boy who walked in on her sobbing her eyes out in the music room.

Ollie feels nothing, Isabella feels too much. Ollie chooses his pain, Isabella can't seem to escape it. Can they save each other from themselves, or will they destroy each other beyond repair?
