German Italian Nathaniel Rossi has been in love with his African American best friend Samantha Carson Heart since the seventh grade, and now entering their junior year of high school, seeing her every single day as his emotions grow stronger, he is destined to tell her how he feels. Samantha Carson Heart (Carson to most) is perfectly happy with her life...or that's at least the way she makes it seem...but she has a secret, something that no one, not even her best friend Nathaniel Rossi knows about. When he confesses the way he feels, will she give him a chance, or will her secret take her away from him...for good?

Ella Payne is sixteen now. She's still Niall's little princess, and still Liam and Meg's little sister. She's really everyone's little sister. It really can't get any better. Meg and Louis finally got to settle down together. They think it's all over. Daddy and Mummy are gone. No more troubles. It's much farther than that. When they shoved everything behind them into the doors and locked it with a key, there was one door they forgot about. Once a new neighbor unexpectedly moves in, they've only realized they've gotten much deeper into the water, much closer to danger. Relationships will be tested, tears will be shed, and if anything, there will be blood.

Harry was tired of it. He was tired of being the "lead singer" of the band. He was tired of being "the flirty, filthy manwhore". He hated the fame. He hated the attention. He hated everything. Scarlett was tired of breathing. She just got out of rehab but still struggling. Her whole life she'd been known as "the quiet girl". She was always in everyone else's shadow. She was constantly put down, overlooked, and constantly change so she'd "be good enough". "Tired" couldn't even explain her pain. The two seem to be completely different, but are they really? When they finally meet they realize one thing: They're just what they needed. // book one of the strings series //

It all began with one little tweet. Now, Adelaide and Niall are happily married, a baby boy now in their arms. Adelaide took a leap of faith with Niall. Falling in love is never easy, especially with Niall Horan. But, before the couple is separated by Niall's tragic fate, we realize what happens in between.

Olivia has had a crush on Zayn Malik from the moment she laid eyes on him, and I mean could you blame her? He was the Bradford Bad Boi with his dark brown eyes, and sweet but rare smile. He had a great singing voice. Or so she was told. Olivia was deaf. Plain and simple. Never heard her own voice, her laugh, or heard her brother Josh Devine play the drums. It was heartbreaking. She felt broken, and helpless. She saw her disability as a curse. Can she maybe look past her insecurities and look at herself the way Zayn sees her?

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.

Megan Payne is Liam Payne's younger sister. Yes, the Liam Payne of One Direction. Sounds pretty cool, right? Not exactly. She's never even met her brother. He doesn't even know she exists. Her life without her brother was hard. Maybe if Liam didn't audition for the X Factor and left her alone, her step father wouldn't have abused her. Finally, she's had enough runs away with her little sister, Ella. The plan is to find Liam. She'd be living with her brother and the band. No one would ever hurt again...Right? Will everything go the way she planned, or will her past come crashing back down on her?

Elena Carter was the most beautiful and popular girl you'd ever lay your eyes on. She has the perfect face, perfect personality, and perfect grades. She's the most popular girl in her high school in Holmes Chapel, and everyone adores her. Harry Styles is the school's bad ass. You would see him with his four best friends, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan all the time. It's safe to say that Harry's the leader of the group, and it's also safe to say that those four boys are the more feared people in Holmes Chapel. They get drunk, get into fights, and just have that bad guy aura around them. Harry and Elena are polar opposites. So what happens when detention brings them together? And Elena's parents try to tear them apart?

In Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Kendall Woods and Harry Styles were the best of friends. Best friends fall in love, right? That's exactly what happened with Kendall and Harry. But one night, Kendall catches Harry snogging Emmalie, Kendall's other best friend. Feeling broken hearted and betrayed, Kendall dumps Harry and the next month, moves away to London by herself. She hates Harry, and she also hates Emmalie. Kendall tries to forget about Harry, but that's nearly impossible since he is so famous now and his name is literally everywhere. But what happens when fate decides to cross their paths once again? Will old feeling arise, or will Kendall keep on hating Harry like she did since that night? (COMPLETED.) [PLEASE keep in mind that I wrote this in, like, 2010-2011 so it's EXTREMELY carroty and makes me cringe. Not my best work...]

A simple trip to the bank. That's all it was. That's all I thought it was going to be. Until I was held hostage. With Louis Tomlinson. Valeria Alden started out her boring day by doing something completely normal. Going to the bank. She never expected for a robbery to occur while she was getting some money. She never expected Louis Tomlinson to walk in during it. And she never expected to be held hostage with him. When you're tied to a chair with one person for a whole day and locked in a dark room with them for a whole week, you get to know each-other. She just never thought her life would change so much...
