This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

When I was a little kid I met this girl. She was strange in every sense of the word. But for some reason, I liked that. We were friends for a long time, this girl and I. Until one day she left. She never told me why she had to go, just that it was important. One of the last things that she ever said to me, was that one day she would come back. Ten years passed and I never heard from her again. I grew up... Now, at age 17 i’m in One Direction. I’ve gained four new brothers and together, we’re world famous. And I couldn’t be happier. And now... Now that it seems like I have everything... She turns up. And she’s about to change everything.
