{book 1} ✓ - ❝ Once upon a time… Wait, are you shitting me? This story doesn’t start like this. On the contrary! This story is about a girl who thought had enough of men but, of course, her words backfired on her face. Yeah, this girl is me. An average girl… Okay, not so average, more insane, I would say.

"You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll be on the edge of your seats - if you're sitting down."

(My Nan) It's Amber Curtis' first day as junior reporter for 'Wow' magazine, the UK's most popular teen monthly. To say it's a day that doesn't start well is an understatement.

Ok. I'm just an ordinary girl right? Yeah, that's what I thought too. I'm 5'7" with long, straight, dark chocolate brown hair that lays nicely on my chest. I have greenish-hazel eyes and outgoing. Some people say I look like Sarah Hyland. But, I'm not up to date on electronics. Which means I have no clue who she even is. My phone is the only excuse. I have an iphone 4S and I listen to music from my car radio. The only cool thing that's somewhat related to me is that my best friend, Lexi, is a famous british-irish boy band's stylist. I don't know who. I think she told me once and I forgot. Plus, she's never shown me a picture or told me anything about them or their names or anything. I find that rude. Oh. And my name's Danielle. See? I'm just an ordinary girl with my 19th birthday coming up...... Until I'm kidnapped by 5 strangers that just happen to be celebrities.

I was just another fan to him. I didn't think by sending that one little tweet to Niall Horan, 1/5 of the famous boy band One Direction, my life would change forever. I was nothing special. Just like any other 17 year old girl. Hands touch, eyes meet and apparently, he saw something special in me.

Scarlett is abused. Abused by the only person she has left. She turns to music to help her enjoy life. But when her father disapproves of her passion, she leaves. Only to run into Niall Horan. Scarlett has never heard of One Direction. So when Niall takes care of her, her entire life turns upside down. Writing songs for One Direction is never easy. Especially when your psycho maniac of a father is after you.

******READ A BIT OF MY LATEST CHAPTER TO SEE HOW MUCH MY WRITING HAS IMPROVED LIKE HONEST ITS SO CRINGEY I CANT****** Falling in love with your best friend seemed too cliche for my liking, so me and my best friend always knew we weren't going to do just that. However, life is so unexpected and before I knew it, I had a brain tumor, was stripped of my old life and given a new one. A life without my best friend, Niall Horan. I left the X Factor, where I had made it up to bootcamp, but it didn't matter. My dreams were crushed, there was no hope. I never did tell Niall, about my brain tumor and just cut contact with him. He didn't need to worry about me. What I didn't realize is that Faith also comes into play and well Faith does whatever the hell it wants. So next thing I know, here I am, reunited with my best friend. My brain tumor is gone, and I have my best friend back. It's times like these where I realize it's just a little too good to be true. And it is. Slowly, without even meaning to, I start falling for the boy who was none other then my best friend. Everyone knows falling in love with someone you simply cannot have is a nightmare, and I feel as though this nightmare will just never end.

****It gets much better, trust me**** I waited for my friends in the food court of this gigantic mall. I couldn't see them if they were here. As I sipped my coke I got from subway, my eyes wandered through all the people that were sat around me, looking for my friends. I saw a dysfunctional yet happy family, a cute couple blocking out the rest of the world, and my eyes were suddenly glued to a mysterious boy who looked to be about 20. He had black hair that was up in a quiff, and it was quite cute. He had an amazing face profile, dark brown eye, and olive skin. His face was shaved clean, and he had the cutest smile. This boy was pretty cute, and alone. I looked down quickly when I had realized I was staring at him. He smiled at me and got up. I fumbled with my fingers as he walked over and put his hand on the chair facing me. "Is this seat taken?" He asked.
