That's What You Get

Mikey thought love was supposed to hurt. That if he just held on tightly enough, things would go back to how they used to be. But the longer he stayed, the harder it became to tell where devotion ended and survival began.

Now, the silence between bruises is louder than ever. The apologies come softer, the promises sweeter, but something inside him has started to shift.

In the aftermath of everything, Mikey finds himself standing at the edge of a life he's never let himself imagine. And as he reaches for it, the past threatens to pull him back in.

In a path of healing and heartbreak, Mikey confronts the truths he's tried to bury, with found family, hard choices, and aching honesty. This is a story about what it costs to survive, and what it means to finally choose yourself.

Because that's what you get when you let your heart win.
