"Love is like drinking beer. Once you get too much of it, you start acting stupid." -Klara Styles. "Love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again." -Leah Styles. Leah loved love. She loved her parents' love. She loved their love story; how the famous Harry Styles had fallen in love with the girl he was arranged to marry. He didn't plan on doing it, but it happened. And it infatuated Leah. She wanted someone to look at her the way her father looked at her mother. Klara, contrary to her sister's belief, thought love was a waste of time. It's not like she had been hurt in the past - she just didn't waste any time in feeling such exponential feelings for some guy. She was more like the girl who would just party and not care. But two boys - both very different - go to the girl you wouldn't think. A softie for Klara, and a notorious drummer for Leah. Love's a funny thing, isn't it?

He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.
