Jena Chen and Niall Horan were each other's person until they ruined everything. While it wasn't easy, Jena has made peace with the fact that they'll never be the same again and that she'll never hear from him again. That is, until he texts her out of nowhere telling her that he's back in the small town that he left two years ago. As if that isn't enough to turn Jena's world upside down, he's intent on spending as much time with her as he possibly could. It is as if he wants to go back to the way they were, which Jena thinks is impossible. But Niall Horan is the most stubborn person she's ever met and when he sets his mind on something, he'll always get it. And that's how Jena finds herself spending more and more time with him. When old feelings resurface, Jena starts to realise that she has seen this story before and she refuses to let it end the same way: with her getting her heart broken and Niall leaving the town. But does every story - the one that starts with her trying not to fall for him - has to end the same way?

After all, she'd much rather hide out in a corner with a good romance novel than be in the spotlight. This proves to be somewhat tricky when she's chosen as her sister's maid of honor for her over-the-top Indian wedding and she can't seem to evade everyone's attention. She'd probably be able to handle it if it weren't for a certain blue-eyed best man who doesn't seem to notice how impossibly nervous she gets in his presence and has made it his mission to constantly seek her out. A story of hopeless romantics, an easter wedding, a maid of honor who has a really big crush on the best man, and a night in a tiny hotel room (with only one bed) that may or may not be the beginning of something. written for the 1dff discord server fic challenge; based on the "there was only one bed" trope with an easter twist.
