"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow.

It's been 14 years since I last spoke a single word. 14 years of silence. The doctors told me I would never speak again. But even if I could speak Harry Styles would have rendered me speechless.

He places the hand-rolled cigarette between his plum lips as he watches her walk into the school. She was the typically perfect 'it' girl; and he was just scum.

He was my best friend. He was there to hold me together while I was breaking, he could make me laugh when I was on the verge of tears, he protected me, he saved me when I didn't realize that I needed it. He helped me through a lot. Which is precisely why I started to fall for him and that terrified me. I didn't want feelings to get in the way of what we had. I had never felt, about anyone, the way I felt about Harry. I had felt heartbreak before and I knew I never wanted to feel it from him. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't help but fall in love with him. I'm Natalie Anne Hollandsworth and this is the story of how I fell in love with my best friend.

Her smile was weak, and it was as though she used all her energy to do so. I would do anything to get a beautiful healthy smile that I love so much from her. So I sing. all rights reserved. copyright © 2014 || jackie sanchez ; momentswithourboys

[Winner of The Fanfiction Award 2017 for Best Magcon/OGOC Fanfiction] Sadie Salvay, a girl who is never in trouble. A girl who was never asked on a date, knew a guy who liked her, or even had her first kiss. A girl who never had music in her life. At least, that was until she heard a single song, and everything changed. Sadie never understood how other girls could be so crazy over bands and celebrities. She thought that these girls were silly, and that all celebrities were fake and had egos bigger than the planet. However, that was only until she laid her eyes on Shawn Mendes for the very first time while watching a videoclip, and then she couldn't take him off her mind, or pass a day without listening to his songs. They made her feel better, feel happier. She believed on the guy she saw on the screen of her phone, but a bugging doubt was still on the back of her mind: is this all real? Is he exactly who he makes me believe he is? Or did media manipulate me in a way that makes me believe that Shawn is who I think he is? And from that moment onwards, she knew that she had to meet him or at least see him live, no matter what. After a long wait, that moment has come. She was certain that this would be one of the best days of her life. However, she didn't know that it was going to be so much more than that. It was just the beginning of a whole new chapter in her life. Though will the changes after that day be for the better, or the worse?
