"Love is like drinking beer. Once you get too much of it, you start acting stupid." -Klara Styles. "Love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again." -Leah Styles. Leah loved love. She loved her parents' love. She loved their love story; how the famous Harry Styles had fallen in love with the girl he was arranged to marry. He didn't plan on doing it, but it happened. And it infatuated Leah. She wanted someone to look at her the way her father looked at her mother. Klara, contrary to her sister's belief, thought love was a waste of time. It's not like she had been hurt in the past - she just didn't waste any time in feeling such exponential feelings for some guy. She was more like the girl who would just party and not care. But two boys - both very different - go to the girl you wouldn't think. A softie for Klara, and a notorious drummer for Leah. Love's a funny thing, isn't it?

I nod, as I sigh out a shallow yes, and I see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind.

What happened to me is something I could never have dreamed up in my wildest imagination. I mean, no one really wakes up in the morning and expects to find a person you connect with so much, and feel a shared magnetism for that it may have you re-evaluating whether you believe in love at first sight. It's even more bizarre that this person is one of the most recognisable people on the planet. One should think of me as so lucky. All I ask is Pretty Please, Don't Pinch Me.. because this is one dream I don't want to wake up from. Ava Sinclair considered herself to be quite a regular twenty year old.

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow.
