The story of the son of the town preacher, falling for the man covered in tattoos who holds a dark secret.

Through Niall's eyes, Zayn can do no wrong. Through Zayn's eyes, doing something wrong is the only way to do something right.

He awakens every morning, having to find the strength to cope with his dissociative identity disorder (split personality). His mood is up and down the scale and he can't seem to find a sense of contentment. Life graces him with the love and support of his family, the company of his best friend, the care of his teacher, and a boy who is all of those things, with all of those qualities. He only hopes it's enough because he feels himself slipping more and more each day.

Niall Horan is a boy who fears danger. Zayn Malik defines it.

That's what Niall has to look forward to while his boyfriend, Josh, is away at brain camp. Days will be spent at a boring job In the library, evenings will be filled with vocabulary drills for the SATs, and spare time will be passed with his mother, the two of them sharing silent grief at the traumatic loss of Niall's father. But sometimes unexpected things can happen-things such as the catering job at wish, with its fun-loving, chaotic crew. Or his brothers project of renovating the neglected beach house, awakening long-buried memories. Things such as meeting Zayn, a boy with a past, a taste for truth-telling, and an amazing artistic talent, the kind of boy who could turn anyones world upside down. As Niall ventures out of his shell, he begins to wonder, is it really better to be safe than sorry? {This is based off of the book The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, THIS IS NOT MINE}
