"Secrets I have held in my heart are harder to hide than I thought..." AM AU

It's been seven years since Emilia Davenport's best friend left Sheffield to start a music career, and she's spent every second of that time trying to forget that he ever existed. It's been seven years since Alex Tuner took off from his home town to try and make it in the music industry, but now that he has, he wants nothing more than to go back home. And when their two lives meet again, they realize that maybe growing up wasn't as great as they'd always dreamed, and maybe everything they ever needed had always been right there in front of them...

You've been friends with Alex Turner and the other boys from Arctic Monkeys since you were 13. But never for a second did you think that Alex would release a song about you. From late night phone calls and almost constant texting and teasing, you've managed to stay close with him over the years. When a pact is established and a holiday is arranged, life seems to be treating you very well. But a month in LA will either make or break you. ~*~*~*~*~*~ Completed: 24/05/21

"If it's insanity, brand me infatuated." Leah Greene doesn't think much about the trip to California with her best friend until a hotel room mixup with the Arctic Monkeys and hollywood drama chasing her tail for it. Alex doesn't think much about the next few gigs in California after his recent breakup with Arielle. But after a rather awkward meeting between him and a fan, things are going to be changed between him and the band forever. [THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL. THIS IS A BETTER VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL.] IMPORTANT NOTE I left Wattpad years ago because suddenly I had a lot more pressure from school, and looked back on this story. I cringed so fucking much, but it brought back so many memories so I wanted to completely fix it. It won't get as many reads as the original but I wanted to put this out here anyways. Better version complete with: - NEW scenes - Foreshadowing - Realistic pacing - Grammar! - Better dialogue - Imagery - A standard (past) tense - Cut filler scenes - American spelling since Leah is American (even though I'm not) - Edited storyline - No confusing POV's - Fixed plot holes - Prior research - Actual common sense Thanks for all the support!

The man raised his eyebrows, his smirk growing. -"Aw, I am sorry... How rude of me not to introduce myself first, right?" Then, the smile vanished.
