Scarlett has never heard of One Direction. So when Niall takes care of her, her entire life turns upside down. Writing songs for One Direction is never easy. Especially when your psycho maniac of a father is after you. ((This story was written and completed in 2013)) TW:: I wrote this story years ago when I was going through my depression so this entire fic is filled with triggers. You have been warned.

We found ourselfs in the music we hear and the songs we make.

So if we knew all along, why did it take so long? We've known it since we were young, so why did it take so long? *^*^*^* Friendship is a connection to never be taken for granted; that is what Niall and Haleigh learned over the years. They had survived the media, rumors, break-ups and hardships by sticking with each other. Now Niall was touring again, except this time it was on his own while One Direction went on hiatus. The success of his first solo album sent him traveling across the world, with Maren Morris as his opening act and Haleigh right by his side as tour photographer. However, the Flicker World Tour felt different. The bond between the two best friends seemed to grow, fading the lines between friendship and relationship. Haleigh doesn't want to lose him, just as Niall doesn't want to lose her. With advice from friends and family, the two learn how to handle falling in love with their best friend.
