"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university.

I never wanted to move to a big place like LA or Sydney but some opportunities come but some go as well. I took a big opportunity when I took an internship in California. I didn't know what I was doing, but who really knows when you're 22 and 2 years into University degree? Music, like lots of people, was my safe space and I didn't like to open up much. But you meet people that help you to trust and open up and for me, that was Harry Styles written: september 2020 - august 2021

The world knows his name. She was never meant to be seen. Theodora Johnson is just nineteen when she joins a world tour as a photographer. Quiet, observant, and most comfortable behind a camera lens, she spends her days capturing moments for one of the biggest bands on the planet: One Direction. For months she stays in the background-watching concerts from the wings, documenting life on the road, and quietly learning the chaos that comes with fame. Then she meets him. Harry Styles. What begins as late-night conversations and accidental moments slowly grows into something neither of them expected. Between tour buses, crowded arenas, and cities that never stay the same for long, their connection deepens into something real. But love is complicated when the entire world is watching. Keeping a relationship secret on a global tour is nearly impossible, and the pressure of fame begins to test everything they're building together. Rumors spread. Cameras appear everywhere. And one mistake threatens to destroy the quiet world they created behind the scenes. Because sometimes love doesn't fall apart in front of thousands of people. Sometimes it happens in private. Sometimes it happens during the fights that shouldn't have happened. "You don't understand what this world does to people," Harry said quietly. "It doesn't just watch you... it waits for you to fall apart." In a story about fame, love, and the moments hidden between flashing cameras, When the World Watches follows two people trying to hold onto something real in a life that is anything but private. Because the hardest part of loving someone in the spotlight... is learning how to stand there with them.
