(Completed) Avery was 'that' girl. The one that no one really noticed, or cared to. Her life was spent on the sidelines, just watching everything go by. She didn't live, she existed. Everything changes when she meets Liam Payne, the celebrity. At first glance he's infatuated with her. As fate brings them closer together, she starts to come out of her shell. For the first time in a while, Avery's happy. Not simply persisting, not only qualified to be a human only because she breathes. She's happy. And so is he. But when a ghost from Avery's past comes back to haunt her, everything changes. To get through it, Avery has to learn to do the thing she fears most in the world. She has to learn to trust. I own everything. Don't be the asshole that takes my story, no one likes that. All my characters are fictional. I don't know 1d (and you probably don't either) so nothing in this should be taken literally. Although if it is sort of close to their real personalities that'd be fucking awesome, I mean Liam should totally read Game of Thrones.

DISCLAIMER: This story was written in late 2012. I wrote Strings Attached as an adolescent with no idea how a healthy, adult relationship should function. This story is dark and twisted in a way that my teen mind couldn't comprehend at the time. There are more than a few scenes in this book with sensitive content. I--in no way--support rape culture and I do not condone my character's actions. However, as I said, this story was written in an ignorant state of mind. I will not remove this story from Wattpad. It is part of my past and though I am disappointed with the content, it shows how far I've come not just as an author but as a free-thinking adult. Thank you for reading. **Excerpt** "Say... it," She gasped, throwing her head back, cupping my face in her hands so that I was forced to meet her gaze. "You're mine." She held my gaze for a second more, before crushing her lips against my own, arms wrapping tight around my neck, pulling me down to her level. Arms sliding easily around her, she wrapped her legs around me as I lifted her up, lips traveling over her chest and collarbone. She moaned as my hands dug into her tender flesh, pulling on it, their violence a stark contrast to the gentle kisses teasing their way up her neck. Bright lines marked the paths that my nails had etched into her skin, marking her, beautiful red tattoos, spreading out over her entire body. Her small hands knotted in my hair, pulling harder and harder as she fought the urge to cry out...
