Beckett Phillips has had an earth-shattering year. After the sudden death of her best friend Grace, she's still struggling to cope with the loss of her life whilst simultaneously trying to figure out exactly when she should start living out her own. After months of long and trying times, things are finally starting to look up; that is until Harry Styles walks back into town as if nothing had ever happened. As if he hadn't booked a one way ticket out of Afton just days after Grace's funeral, leaving her stranded with no explanation and in a whirlwind of grief all on her own. Yeah, that Harry Styles. The same Harry Styles she swore that if she never had to see again for the rest of her life, she'd be content, but he's back and bringing along with him an abundance of unanswered questions Beckett hadn't realized she'd needed the answers to, until now. A small town AU about heartbreak and loss, learning acceptance, and realizing that maybe the person who broke your heart in the first place could really be the only one to put it back together again. *Trigger warnings: death
