The man in front of me gave me a lopsided smirk, "Feisty. I like that." I rolled my eyes, sipped my drink and narrowed my eyes at the bartender, "Shouldn't you be doing your job?" "There's other things I could be doing," he responded with a wink. He started pouring another drink, "Got a name?" "Audrey." The man gave me a wicked grin, "I'm Nathan."

Izzy Martin looked like your average teenage girl. She had a family, a nice house, and went to Uni just like everybody else. She didn't have many friends, but she didn't mind all that much. She was simply the girl you would pass by all the time, but never really knew. Harry Styles looked like your average pop star. He had fans, money, good looks, and friends who cared about him. He was the youngest member of One Direction, and a teen hearthrob worldwide. Everyone knew his name, and his fans knew all his secrets. Until now. What his fans don't know is that the loveable Harry Styles they see on camera is all an act. The nineteen year old boy from Cheshire has gone silent, and hasn't spoken in eight months. His friends, family, and bandmates worry about him, but nobody has been able to crack through the wall he's created between himself and the people he cares about. That is, until the boys crash into a blonde drama student on her way home from the ice cream shop. Izzy agrees to take in the lads while her parents are away on business. Everyone is friendly, aside from one small detail, and it doesn't take her long to figure it out. The curly haired boy would be an inconvenience to most, but Izzy saw him as a challenge. She was going to get him to talk again. She was going to make him laugh, if it was the last thing she ever did. She was going to save his heart.

I glanced up from my iPhone to see a girl with straight black hair throwing herself on Harry Styles. He stumbled back as a security guard grabbed her and pulled her away from him. She started screaming and throwing her arms about. 'Harry, my love! NO! Don't let them take me away! Were destined for each other!' she burst out crying as Harry just stood there with a bewildered expression. I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my mouth as the girl went past me. Harry's eyes landed on me and I just chuckled at the look on his face. He smirked at me and I looked away blushing. Why do I always blush?! I glanced up at Harry Styles again to see he was still looking at me with those piercing green eyes. A smile made its way onto my face without me realising, as he carried on looking at me; his fans started shoving things at him, but he never looked away. From the corner of my eye I could see the rest of the boys coming out, and the girls started squealing and shouting even louder! Harry only broke eye contact with me as Liam Payne patted him on the back and said something to him. I looked around me flustered. I'd forgotten about the other people in the alley way. I searched the crowd for India and found her at the front getting a picture with Niall and Louis. I smiled to myself, as I remembered those green eyes.
