Imagine your Bree Anderson, the famous supermodel. Imagine you're walking to your car when you are suddenly kidnapped and shoved into a small van. When you are forced into the eerie house of your kidnappers, you discover you aren't alone. You are surrounded by others that are kidnapped like you. One Direction. Love, Betrayal, Forgiveness, Escape, Faith, Fate. It all falls in place when Bree Anderson finds Zayn Malik starring at her. Little did she know, it was the beginning of a beautiful adventure.

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.
