17 year old Jessamine Taylor has just recently moved to California after her parents both get job promotions. She's very excited to be moving to a new state. The only thing that catches her off guard is one of Hamminton High School's bad boys, Harry Styles. Something is different about this boy, and she wants to find out.

Amberlynn Grace has been best friends with Niall Horan since she was 5 years old. When she was 15, Niall left to go audition for X-factor, and she was left behind in West Meath, only able to talk to Niall on the computer. And then, her world turns upside down. Her parents announce they are moving to America. Even farther away from Niall. Her parents tell her once she turns 18, and graduates high school she can move anywhere she wants. At first, She's upset about leaving, and tries to refuse to go. But then Niall promises her that he'll be there to get her on her graduation day. Fast forward a few years, and Niall has arrived to get her. She moves to London with Niall and the rest of the boys. The more time she spends with him, and he spends with her, the clearer something becomes to the both of them. Just without the other knowing it. It could tear them apart, or it could make them closer than ever.

Was it her beauty that reeled me in? The mysterious, deep, color her eyes contained? Or her addictive smile, smell, or even her personality? It was none of these things. The reason she's too afraid and too sad to even talk is what made her even more mysterious and captivating to me. Not talking for six years as a side affect from a tragic accident is what I learned had caused it; her sister and mothers death traumatized her. And my goal is to help her break free, to help her gain the courage to live her life to the fullest. To speak to me.

I don't like One Direction. So can someone please tell me why I'm stuck on a game show with the five boys who have stolen millions of girls' hearts?
