yksariah
2013.
Small town.
Cold nights.
Bad decisions.
And the one moment that flips Sariah's whole life upside down.
It's 2013, and nineteen-year-old Sariah Rodriguez is stuck in the same freezing, nowhere Midwest town she grew up in-living off late-night parties, hangovers, family chaos, and the constant urge to run toward something bigger. She's not looking for anything new, planning to live out the marry a lawyer simple life.
So when her cousin-best-friend Gianna and her chaotic ride-or-die Avery drag her into their plan to see 5 Seconds of Summer open for One Direction, Sariah only expects a night of loud music, cheap perfume, and bad decisions.
What she doesn't expect is:
• a club they're too young to be in,
• fake IDs that definitely shouldn't work,
• blue-and-red police lights flashing at the worst possible second,
• and a stranger with warm brown eyes grabbing her hand as he whispers,
"Run."
Except he wasn't a stranger.
Not really.
Because the boy with the warm eyes, sharp jawline, and stupidly perfect hair was Zayn Malik.
Yes, that Zayn.
Now Sariah finds herself torn between the small-town life she's always known and the reckless, unfamiliar but addicting world she's just collided with. What starts as two strangers sprinting from the cops becomes a secret connection wrapped in concerts, late-night phone calls, stolen moments, and the dangerous thrill of everything she's not supposed to end up doing.
