Alexa Jane Tomlinson is the impossibly gorgeous cousin of the famous boy band member, Louis Tomlinson. When Alexa can no longer handle living under the watchful eyes of her rich parents, the fights with her friends, and the pressure to be perfect, she decides to runaway. Running away turns out to be better than she would have ever imagined. Alexa meets new friends on the way, including a little girl named Maddie. Halfway through her trip south, Louis gets a lead on her whereabouts. When she is forced to live with Louis and his band, One Direction, will she be able to stay mad at Lou? Will she learn to not only handle her own depression, but someone else's, too? Can she learn to deal with all the hate that comes with possibly being in a relationship with one of the band members? How about rekindling all of her past relationships with friends and family? How will she handle all of the pressure to be perfect that she experienced before, only now multiplied by ten? Okay so this is a One Direction FanFic. Clearly. I just didn't want to make it like all the other ones where the girl moves from America for work and bumps into Harry who spills coffee all over and then they fall in love. Cause I've read like 50 of those. Not saying I don't love those, cause I do, but I thought I should make something different. Anyway, since I just made an account, become my fan and the favor will be returned. New chapters up everyday or every other day. I hope you all enjoy it.(:
