Her fame and future are set in stone, that is until she crosses paths with a certain arrogant hockey player who sees right through her act. - - Exhaling into the wind as a way to prepare. Sucking in the tepidness, grounding my arising nerves. "Love is like... Willingly giving someone a loaded gun... And hoping they don't shoot you." "That's highly pessimistic," He smirks, ultimately changing from a quizzed brow to a smug contortion. "Maybe... people won't admit it, but being alone is better in the end." "There's a happy ending to this right?" *This story contains strong sexual content, substance abuse, and mature themes.* #2 in hsau # 1 in Oregon # 4 in grunge # 1 in princeharrystyles # 1 in snowboarding

soulmate /ˈsəʊlmeɪt/ noun 1. a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner. What if soulmates existed, but not in the way we think they do? What if, some forces are so powerful, that even having the person you're destined to be with in close proximity caused disastrous consequences simply because you've never looked them in the eyes, or touched their skin? What if it caused one of you physical pain being so close to them without realising they were even there? Madeleine Melling has always struggled with the concept of love in general. She shouldn't - her parents have always been so very indiscreetly besotted with one another, and she always thought it would eventually rub off on her. But it just hasn't. She has relationships, one after the other, and one-by-one they leave her for her incapability at showing any kind of devotion. She does, however, have a strong passion for her work - spending hours in her private studio fashioning pottery and mosaics. Besides the platonic love she gives her parents, it's the only thing she's ever really given herself to. Harry Styles is the opposite. In an almost insufferable way, he is, as so many people have put it before, in love with the idea of love. And yet, he's never truly found it. City to city he travels, scouting not just for his job, but also for romance - a love like no other. Never one to turn down an opportunity, he takes up an offer to spend six months in the colourful city of Bristol, specifically Clifton School of Art, scouting new talent to showcase at the art gallery in London he works for. Will Bristol help him find what he's looking for?

Maybe she never should've joined the game. SHORT STORY.

"You're timing our conversations now?" He laughs a bit. "Two and a half minutes." "Okay fine. You don't show any interest in me unless we're..." His voice trails off, and I roll my eyes.
