Chapter 1

*Harry's POV*

~ 2 years ago ~

"I want to do something before our band gets big!" Zayn yells excitedly as he digs his hands into the beach sand and throws it up in the air above our heads. Immediately, the wind whooshes it around, causing some of it to go into my eyes.

I groan and begin to rub the unwanted substance out of my stinging eyes, "like what?" I ask him.

"You know what I've always wanted to do?" Louis pipes in, deep suspense lingering in his voice.

"What?" We all question. Who knows what Louis' mind was even planning, his brain is full of strange but yet, rather fun ideas that led to something magnificent in the long run.

"Send a message in a bottle!" He exclaims, all of the boys besides him burst into laughs. "What's so bad with that?" You can tell by his tone that he got a slight bit offended.

"Why would you even want to do that?" Niall asks, his cheeks red from laughing so hard.

"I don't know," Louis starts, staring longingly out at the open sea, like in a movie. I have to stifle a laugh, when is Louis ever this serious? "It kind of makes me wonder who would find it. You know what I mean, like fate?" His voice was calm and though a second ago the other lads didn't seem interested, they did now.

It actually did seem like a cool idea, not many people do these kind of things. Just the thought of writing a message in a bottle and letting it go about in the waters sends shivers down my spine, anyone in the whole world could find it. That is, if it was ever found.

"I'm in," Liam agrees with Louis' idea and soon enough everyone else joins in with the random suggestion.

"Where do we get the bottles and paper?" I look around at our surroundings. We were at an empty deserted beach, but we all still enjoyed coming here. It was private and relaxing, a nice place to go to when you needed time to think.

"Actually, I brought stuff. I've been planning to do this ever since you offered to bring us here today," Louis reaches into his red bag and empties the insides of it. Out lay 5 bottles with caps, 5 pieces of paper and 5 different color assorted pens.

"I call green!" Niall yells as he grabs the green ink pen. Everyone else darted for one at once, besides me who waited patiently until everyone else picked out their choices. I wasn't really picky with what color pens I was given and in the end, the only one left in the solo pile was black, which I didn't mind.

"What should we write?" I ask after we were all situated with our supplies.

"Well, call me crazy but I'm going to write down my number and email address. I believe what's meant to be will be, so what if someone finds this and we're destined to be together? I want them to have a way to contact me." Louis answers, his voice peppy and shy. I don't think I've ever seen Louis so serious in my entire life, normally he's the one to make a joke out of everything, but not today.

"Are you going to write your name?" I respond with another question. I believe in this "fate" stuff too, but I don't want a random person knowing my personal number if they find this and realize I'm Harry Styles.

I'm not even sure if it would matter though; whether they knew I was Harry Styles or not. Recently we have been cut from the X Factor, but Simon told us he has much more in store for us.

Whatever that means.

"No," he replies sharply, already scribbling words onto the white sheet of paper.

Everyone else begins writing diligently but I still am not positive on what to say. After about another moment or two of thinking, I decide on what to write.

"Hi, Im really not sure what to say but me and my friends decided to do this thing where we send a message in a bottle. (I dont know, it was my friend's idea) and I feel like I'm supposed to find whoever is reading this for a reason but if you believe in fate, call me: 1(818) 555-4385 (A/N: thiis is a made up number so don't call it or anything kk ily) and email me: xhedward1994@rallo.com. Thanks!" Then I folded up the paper and crunched it into the glass bottle. I figured writing my name wouldn't be the brightest idea, but if they were a fan of One Direction my email may give it away.

I look around and notice that the other boys were waiting for me to finish up, "ready?" Liam asks as I begin screwing the cap back on the container to seal it tightly.

"Yeah," I stand up from my seat, shaking the sand off of my body as I walk over to the cool water, the boys were following closely behind me.

The waves were crashing fierce-fully onto the shore, goosebumps arrive on my forearms from the sharp breeze. Before I throw the bottle into the ocean, I breath in and kiss it softly, "please have me find someone special," I pray as I wind my arm back and throw the bottle into the deep blue ocean.

Maybe I was going to be the last person to ever touch that bottle, but maybe I wasn't.
