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.

Fear. The emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Hope. To wish for something, but to expect that one day it may happen. But what happens, when we're mad enough... To love out of fear, and fear out of hope? Annabelle Scott, she hoped for someone to save her, to pull her out of this torturing darkness, but can Zayn Malik help her, or will he find himself being pulled into the dark too? She didn't know much better, she was young and innocent. Was. Can Zayn the mysterious hooded figure, protect his beloved Belle, protect her from Eric, Belle's father, whilst he battles with an even bigger problem? Maybe sometimes, we need to stop and realise that, it may be best to stay away from the dark.

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.
