you're afraid to fall in love

Niall: ...because your last relationship ended in cheating, tears, and seemingly endless heartache. That is, until you met Niall. He saw that you were broken, and he wanted to fix you. He wanted to be the one to tell you how beautiful you are every spare second of the day, be the one to watch you as you fall asleep at night, and wake up next to you in the morning. He wanted to be your everything, but first he had to gain your love.

Zayn: ...because of his celebrity status. He's got thousands, even millions, of screaming girls all over him, tours that last for months, and then there would be the daily hate for just being his girl. You really like him, but you're not sure if you're ready for all the baggage that comes along with being the girlfriend of Zayn Malik. While you're still hesitant, he's going to prove to you that the good out rules the bad when it comes to dating him.

Louis: ...because of how fast you fell. As soon as his bright blue eyes and cheerful voice entered your life, it finally felt like everything clicked. Luckily he felt the same, so the two of you ended up together. He's already told you he loves you countless times, but you have yet to return the 3 powerful words. But he's going to make sure to do everything in his power to prove to you that you chose the right guy.

Liam: ...because you're insecure. No matter how many times he tells you you're beautiful, no matter how many times he takes you out just so he can show his beautiful girlfriend off to the world, no matter how many times he tells you you're the only one he wants to be with for the rest of his life, there's always that voice in the back of your mind telling you that you're not good enough for him.

Harry: ...because of your age difference. You're 16; a whole 3 years younger than him. So much younger than anyone he's dated in the past. You know that he loves you now, but you're not sure if he will when a girl with all the same qualities as you but the same age as him comes along. He just hushes you, pressing a kiss to your forehead and telling you that that is impossible because there's no one in the world as perfect as you.
