For the First Time- A Harry Styles Fanfiction

Tess is a 19 year old girl living in San Francisco, CA. Tess' life for the last 5 or so years has been pure hell. She lives with an abusive drug lord "boyfriend", Jax. After being severely injured by him, Tess stumbles along the dark streets of San Fran, dizzy from blood loss.

One Direction has finished their last show in San Francisco, of an American tour, leaving back to Britain in one week. Harry Styles is driving with the boys to an after concert party when their driver takes a wrong turn. During his playful banter with the lads, something, or rather someone, catches his eye. Despite the discouragement of his friends, Harry directs the driver to stop the car. He then finds a pale Tess, dressed in blood soaked clothing, possibly taking her final breaths. He rushes her to a hospital.

3 days later, Tess awakes from a coma to find a mysterious head of brown curls asleep in a chair in her hospital room. With no memory of how she got there, she calls a doctor who tells her she was almost denied the surgery she needed to under go to repair a severed artery due to her lack of identification. However she was dying so surgery was granted upon receiving the blood she needed from a generous donor. The man asleep in the chair. She had no idea who he was and he had saved her life. Tess then realizes she has had no contact with Jax in all this time. She is the only one who truly realized the severity of her situation. The doctor leaves her , after getting her name and age, to make her phone call. Tess abruptly hangs up the phone after hearing just how furious he was. That is when she finally meets her savior.

Harry is enchanted by the beautiful girl with her long dirty blonde hair, tall stature that was still small to his height, and her haunting stormy grey eyes unlike any he had ever encountered. They held so much secret and so much hurt. He wanted to learn just what they held. He had stayed with her for the entirety of her hospital stay, not knowing anything about her. Not even her name. All he knew was that she needed him. When he finally met her, face to conscious face, she was every bit as mysterious as her eyes implied. He learned it was her boyfriend who had done this to her. It ignited something inside of him. Protectiveness over her.

After she was checked out of the hospital, Harry encouraged her to contact police. She agreed but not to press charges against her attacker, just the ability to collect her few things and get out. Harry accompanied her along with the police. He was sickened to find her precious blood dried at the bottom of his steps. What was she doing in this neighborhood. With this man? So many questions.

Tess had few belongings, only bringing more mystery to Harrys mind. Despite her protests, He convinced her to let him bring her to Britain with the boys to live with them. It all seemed so unreal to her. How could a big celebrity fall into her life in such a way. She finally agreed to begin her journey with the man who was, as far as she was concerned, her Knight in Shining Armor..

Once in Britain, Tess was forced to come clean about her past to Harry. To tell him everything. To tell him something almost no one but the people involved knew. Tess was an abduction victim. She was kidnapped by her estranged father over 12 years earlier. He was one of the most powerful drug lords in California. He kept her hidden away in a tiny crawl space then in his home. She learned his business and did his dirty work for him while he was away. When she was 13, he didn't return. He was killed in Toronto, Canada by a man he owed money to. "Possession" of her was then given to Jax's father, her fathers closest friend also in the drug business. She began Jr. High school and was forced to wear prostetics and colored contact lenses to conceal her identity from the still hunting law enforcement as she had been taken from her mother and siblings. She only had a few momentos to remember her family by. After Jax's father ODed, she belonged to him. And that brought her to the present...

After several months, Tess' relationship with the boys was strong and her feelings for Harry were building to something she didn't understand. Something she had never felt. Their relationship had become so much more after she had told him about her. On her 20th birthday, the boys had got into contact with Tess' only friend from America, Tisdale Abernathy. She was a beautiful Hawaiian girl with long dark hair. Tess was as happy as she had ever been.
