Description

He collapses into your arms in the middle of the crowded hallway, the school's notorious bad boy finally breaking down. For as long as you can remember, Aiden has been your shadow and your rival, a constant source of friction and infuriating tension. He's the king of sarcastic remarks, the first to challenge you in class, and the last person on earth you'd ever expect to see vulnerable. The animosity between you is a legend in the school corridors, a war of words and glares that neither of you is willing to lose. But beneath the arrogant smirk and the rebellious attitude, Aiden's world is silently imploding. His picture-perfect family is shattering, the quiet war at home finally erupting into a bitter divorce he hasn't told a soul about. He channels his pain into recklessness, his grades slipping and his fists flying. You, his sworn enemy, have unknowingly become his only anchor—the one person whose reactions are real and predictable in his chaotic life. And in his most desperate moment, when the weight of it all becomes too much to bear, he doesn't turn to his friends. He turns to you.
