Okay I'm pretty sure you think this is Harry's famous Ashton's a fanboy.

It's not.

I hope the 10 votes and nearly 90 reads before I even posted the first chapter were for Hashton and not the plot line because it's a bit different than what you are probably thinking.

Please don't be angry <3

I hope y'all still like it though :)

If facts are wrong let them be, this is how I'm picturing the story to go :)

If you're reading Starting Over you already know that each chapter is going to be around 1,000 words so I can hopefully have quick updates on both books.

-Ashton's PoV-

"Ashton, glad you could make it in today." My boss, Zach said.

"What do you need me for?" I asked slightly annoyed. I had the day off but my boss called me in.

"We have a client and as my best worker, you have this job." I was a Private Investigator if you're wondering. My job is to find out peoples name, family, job, personal information for whichever client is paying. Normally whenever someone hears about my job, they say it's basically professional stalking and it's creepy. I'm one of the best 'stalkers' because I get what information I need, I'm dedicated to my job.

"What do we know?" I asked.

"His name is Harry Styles and he loves in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. He has brown curly hair and green eyes. Very tall and has a lot of tattoos."

"What do I need to find? Any specifics?"

"Anything that you can. Family, age, friends, everything."

I knew better than to ask who the client was or why exactly they needed this information. I was never told so I stopped asking. Zach handed me a folder that said Harry Styles across it. I opened it and had a file I needed to fill out with his information. There was a paperclip at the top so I could clip any files together.

"Another thing you should know, Harry is quiet and doesn't trust people easily. This one will be more challenging than the rest."

I nodded it and added it to my personal notes along with the description I already had of him.

"Thank you for doing this." Zach said and I just nodded. I got in my car and went home only to look for the route to Harry's town. I figured out it was only a few hours away so I would drive tomorrow. I set the folder in a locked cabinet before going to bed. I lived alone, haven't found anyone yet and not exactly looking for them either. I had a few friends in town but I was out of town working a lot so I rarely saw them. I was alone a lot of the time but I didn't mind much. I enjoyed working so that was my main focus.

When I woke up I decided to see if my friends wanted to hang out before I leave. I was planning to start tomorrow so I would have time to get settled when I got there and I could leave later. I called up Luke, Louis, and Niall. They said they would meet me at a small cafe in twenty minutes. I grabbed my car keys and left. I found a spot to sit when I got there, the other boys weren't there yet. Eventually they walked in and sat with me.

"Why'd you call?" Louis asked bluntly.

"Just wanted to see my friends." I laughed.

"And...?"

"I'm leaving tonight for another investigation." Louis could always read me like a book. Technically, I'm not supposed to say anything about my investigations because they're supposed to be private. I don't tell them any details, sometimes just the name to see if they've heard of them to help.

"So you're going to stalk another person." Luke added to the conversation.

"Not stalking, investigating."

"Ash, you find information about them by researching and watching them from a distance. That sounds like stalking to me."

"It's not stalking." I kept saying.

"It's paid stalking."

"Whatever." I tried to end that conversation quickly. I didn't want to fight with the boys.

"Name?"

"Harry Styles." I said quietly, I didn't really want other people overhearing our conversation.

"Heard of him?" I asked looking at the three boys.

They all shook their heads and I sighed.

"So you're Stalking Styles." Louis laughed at his attempt to be funny. We all just stared at him oddly.

"When do you leave?" Niall asked changing the topic a bit.

I looked at the time. "A few hours."

For those few hours I talked with the boys and we caught up with each other. Apparently, Louis has a new girlfriend, Eleanor, and I could tell Niall didn't like her. I couldn't tell why, but it was pretty clear of his disgust.

"I have to leave, we'll have to get together when I get back."

The boys agreed and I left. Around the four in the afternoon I was packed and ready to leave. It was only a few hours so I didn't bring much for the ride, only my iPod. I grabbed the file and laid it gently in my bag that also contained food for the road. I have my badge too, it was in case someone saw me investigating or my files and tried to turn me in. I have to be careful because I can't break any laws still otherwise it would be classified as stalking. The car ride went smoothly aside from the occasional horrible drivers. I avoided them as much as I could but couldn't help but get angry.

"Asshole!" I yelled as someone cut me off. I made it to the hotel my boss set up and luckily got a clean, nice room. I kicked off my shoes and set up my stuff. The folder on my desk and changed into some comfier clothes. I grabbed my laptop and logged into the wifi. I pulled up google and began my search.

'Harry Styles'

A lot of search results came up but I couldn't find the one I was looking for.

'Harry Styles Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.' I tried as a few search.

That limited to a few results but still couldn't find what I was looking for. I clicked on images and looked for curly brown hair and green eyes. I scanned through a few pictures and found one that looked like a match. I saved the image and clicked on it. It lend me to a website I've never heard of but it had Harry's profile. It age his age and birthday so I wrote that down. I went to an info section and it had links to Harry's Facebook, Instagram, and other websites. I clicked Facebook and managed to get Harry's address. It's not the smartest to put your address online but this is what I needed. I wrote all the information I found out down and ended the night with this:

Harry Edward Styles:

Appearance: brown curly hair, green eyes, dimples, tall, many tattoos.

Age: 20

Birthday: February 1st, 1994

House: Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. I also added his address too.

Siblings: Gemma, sister

Parents: Anne, mother

It's amazing how much information people put online but it was exactly what I needed for tomorrow. That was the day I was going to start, as Louis put it, Stalking Styles.
