||book 1 of the akotw trilogy|| Hate, abuse, and suffering. That is the reality for 17 year old Channing Darly. She endures the abuse delivered by her stepfather, while also trying to protect her oblivious mother. In order to deal with the physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, she often finds herself turning to the blade, and taking her frustrations out on her own delicate flesh. When Channing gets the chance to meet the boys of One Direction at a local signing, she's eager and nervous to share her letters that's she's written to Niall over the past year. They develop a bond that no one seems able to explain; Channing leaves Niall with a stack of her letters, and Niall leaves Channing with the promise that he'll read them, as well as his leather bracelet to remind her that someone is thinking about her. Someone cares. Little does Channing know, that once she let's Niall into her mind and soul through her letters, he'll stop at nothing to mend her broken past. Even when she resists his advances, he lovingly kicks the walls down she's built around her heart; one kiss, one touch, and three little words at a time. They may not have known each other for long... but all they know for sure is that everything has changed... and it started with a kiss on the wrist. ||WARNING|| This story will contain sexual content, as well as many forms of abuse, including: drugs, verbal/physical/sexual abuse, and self harm.

*Fourth and FINAL book in the HWAJ series* Louis Tomlinson, now twenty-six, has become a self-centered billionaire five years later after they have broken up. And by they, I mean One Direction and the ultimate powe couple "Loria". Within the five years of Victoria's absence many aspects of Louis' life took a turn for the worse. Louis had become a drug addict, went to rehab and back several times, and started his own company that created millions up until his tragic downfall. Coming out of One Direction the most successful, he sees no need in ever reconciling with people from his past - especially his ex-band members. Victoria Green, now twenty-five years old still bares the guilt of breaking her promise to Louis Tomlinson. Since she had never returned home after a month as she promised, she thought it would be best if Cheryl, Henry and herself were one happy family living in Southern England. With Cheryl now Henry's adoptive mother, Victoria sees Cheryl as more of a mother-figure than a friend. Victoria's life couldn't be more intact than it is now. After the opportunity of a lifetime, and one chance encounter, Louis and Victoria are thrown together in an impossible situation with no solution. Tensions rise - in more way than one -, feelings resurface, and memories from the past haunt relationships in the final book of the "He Wasn't a Jerk" series. "Oh and Vic," Louis paused, looked over his shoulder with a vexed look, "I stopped chasing you when you started running."
