"All you needed was for someone to paint you wings; to set you free from the memories that tied you down." ~~~ Emilia Anderson has spent far too many years shielding herself out of fear of being hurt by those she cares deeply for. After losing her parents in an unfortunate accident and becoming traumatized as a result of her manipulative, abusive ex-boyfriend, Jared, she constructed invisible walls around her to keep herself safe. The walls once seemed impenetrable to Emilia, that is, until she stumbles into the charming and tormented Ashton Irwin, who shatters them. Emilia takes a chance and allows Ashton to enter her life, only to discover that Ashton is also protecting himself from memories he can't escape. They're oblivious to their attraction to one another, but once their pasts make an unexpected and unwanted appearance, they can't deny their desires and need each other more than they really know. Together they learn how to detach themselves from their pasts, but it's easier said than done, especially when their pasts are relentless. ~~~ [A Wattpad Featured Story] Warning: This story contains mature themes such as: alcohol, violence, swearing and sexual content.

Do you ever try so hard to make sure your life doesn't end up as some cliche, but then it does? Then you completely understand me. I hate clichés, all of them. And then when your best friend thinks they are the best thing in the world, it makes it even harder to forget about the biggest one.... And harder to forget about the one that means the most to you, no matter how much you want to.

Obsessed? No. Dedicated is more like it when describing my best friend, Hannah. Aware? That would be me. An 18 year old, average girl who is aware of the biggest boy band on the planet, and even more aware of the chance of me meeting them, like zero percent, you know. So you can see why I'd do anything to keep myself from falling in love with them... Right?

My best friend.... Everyone understands that that's all he is, at least they should. He's my guy friend, so why does my best girl friend keep telling me I like him as more than a friend? Even my brother agrees with her.. I don't think they understand that I can't possibly like him if I already have a boyfriend... He's just my best friend.

Avery never thought she'd meet Harry, even though she also lived in close proximity to him, and worked in close proximity to where he usually goes for shopping and coffee. When she finally gets the opportunity to meet him, she has her first impression... But will it change for the better or for worse?
