// In the neon-lit streets of New York City, Ivory Mancuso is just another law intern - overwhelmed by her demanding future and the weight of her dad's ecpectations. When a late-night walk leads her to a shocking crime scene, everuthing she thought she knew about her life shatteres. The man responsible? Niall Horan, a name known to millions, but to her, he's just another dangerous stranger with piercing blue eyes and a deadly smile. "You didn't see anything, did you love?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. His tone was sarcastic, like he found this whole situation amusing. Like he'd done this before. "We're ghosts."

Jaime Lockhart is going on tour with her band Ultra Envy on their Enviousness tour. This will be their second tour, but it has a whole lot more destinations including a UK leg. The tour is going to be bigger and better than the last one, which means they are going all out. Their manager John Lockhart, Jaime's dad, suggests bringing in One Direction for a joint tour, make it an amazing show for everyone. They wanted to be bigger and better, and nothing can get better than adding One Direction on the tour. They are one of the biggest's boyband. And Jaime is not happy about it, not one bit. She doesn't want to work with One Direction, but she mainly doesn't want to work with Niall Horan. She can't stand his attitude and the way he holds himself. He's known for his selfish 'the world revolves around me' attitude. His reputation proceeds him as a bad boy douchebag who's a player. He only cares about himself and his fame. But he hates Jaime Lockhart. He hates her bratty attitude. He hates she's a 'nepo baby' and has 'pretty privilege.' He thinks she's not cut out for the fame. So what will happen when you put two people who hate each other the most, on a joint tour together. Will hatred fade into something else? Or will these two drag each other down? Can they survive a joint word tour together? Will they get to understand each other on a much deeper level and feel something they shouldnt? Welcome to the Enviousness tour, beware of what's to come.

𝐄𝐏𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋 (𝐚𝐝𝐣.) ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 ──── ୨୧ ──── ⠀ ⠀ Now, sitting here beside Niall, I realize he doesn't know that. He doesn't know that I carry that song like a bruise. He doesn't know why I felt the need to change the subject so bad on Friday night when he played that song by the fire. He just knows me as the girl who laughs when he tickles her and spins on gym mats. ⠀ ⠀ And maybe that's... okay. I'm much more okay with him seeing me as that kind of person, because to him I'm not broken or bruised. I'm just normal. I've never been normal before. ⠀ ⠀ Because for the first time in a long time, the memory of Micah doesn't hurt as much. It's still there - it always will be - but it feels softer around the edges. ⠀ ⠀ Niall shifts beside me, his voice breaking through the haze. "You ever get that feeling like... you're right where you're supposed to be?" ⠀ ⠀ I look over at him, his face flushed, eyes tired but bright. ⠀⠀ "Sometimes," I whisper. ⠀ ⠀ He smiles faintly. "Yeah. Me too." ⠀ ⠀ We lie there a little longer, not saying much. The lights flicker slightly overhead. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀I believe, that everything happens for a reason. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀I am meant to be here. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ For some reason.
