Didn't your parents always tell you : "Your 20s will be the best time of your life. You're young, you go out, you have fun and you discover life."
My parents surely made it sound like I would have the time of my life. But I didn't. I was caught up in studying, worrying about finding the right major, about grades, about not being late. I was worried about finding an apartment for the right price. I was caught up in paperwork and everyday-life issues. I was not exactly having the best time of my life, not until I started dating.
Here are my dating stories.

stranded with one direction. ➳ horan.
[completed.] It was suppose to be a normal summer for me. Nothing more than staying home doing nothing but hanging out with my “friends”. But no, why would my life be simple like that. I mean, at first, I was not upset at the offer I received, but when the lie slipped out, it was more than enough to push me over the edge. And then they had the nerve to come back and try to make things better? Ha. No. So when I finally went on a bucket-list adventure, history repeated itself and I was stuck in the same situation I was before. Only this time, he was fighting for my love. But I was stubborn, stuck on old ways, and refused to let him back in. But he never gave up, and that is something I still admire to this day. For some reason, my love was worth the fight. Our love was worth everything.

RUN AWAY || H.S
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐘 𝐒𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓! 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. 𝗖𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱. For five years, I was caged-locked in a life I couldn't escape, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. At an age when I should have been dancing under the stars, laughing with friends, living recklessly-I was caged. A life wasted on pain, drowned in tears. A hollow existence, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. But I ran. And now I'm here. Safe. Loved. No longer just surviving-but living. Wrapped in the warmth of friendship, held in his arms. And for the first time in years, I feel whole. But peace never lasts, does it? Because soon, I will have to choose. Between the man I love and the darkness I escaped. Between a future filled with love and a past that refuses to let me go. What will I do when the nightmare comes knocking again? What will I choose? *** 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱. I have everything-money, success, power. Women want me, men envy me. I move through life with ease, collecting victories like trophies. And yet, something is missing. Someone is missing. Then she walks in. She doesn't try to impress me. She doesn't need to. Just by existing, she undoes me. She is fire and shadows, warmth and distance. She steals my breath and doesn't even realize it. But she is guarded, locked behind walls so high I wonder if anyone has ever climbed them. No matter how much I try, how patient I am, she keeps her past buried. Until one night. One unexpected night changes everything. Because someone from her past walks back into her life. And in an instant, our present starts to unravel, our future hanging by a thread. And suddenly, I understand. This isn't just about her choosing me. It's about whether I will stay when the truth finally comes out. Will I?

Lily's life has turned into a big mess, and she couldn't believe she had brought One Direction into it...and they had stayed. ~~~~~ "Drive! Just go! Please, get me out of here!" I said, frantically from the passenger seat. "No, this is not my decision to make Lily." He said, looking at me with sad eyes. "You're right! It's mine!" I said. "No, it isn't your's, it's your mom's." He said, calmly. "I'm free! I'm 18! It's my decision!" I shouted. "I wont take you." He stated. "Fine. I'll just have Harry take me." I said. I could see the hurt cross his face, and for a second I felt bad, but that second was over quickly. He wouldn't take me. I was furious. I wouldn't forgive him, ever.Complete

**PREVIOUSLY TITLED ABORTION** Niall Horan AU It's hard enough being pregnant, but it's even more difficult when that very pregnancy was the result of a one night stand with a man you did not know. - Shay Stuart was just a regular twenty year old girl, from a small town in Kentucky when following her dreams meant making the big move to New York City. She indulges in her passion of painting, though only on the side, while working odd jobs to try to make ends meet. Along the way she makes friends and acquaintances, but she never expected she'd find herself in a nightclub one night wound up in the arms of an apparent frat boy. After that night is long gone, Shay discovers she is pregnant. Panic is the only thing that consumes her, as she has no idea of anything about the man she slept with, not even his name. Her only thought is abortion might be her best option, though she needs to find the mystery man first. - Niall Horan came to America to play football for an elite university. When injury strikes him and he can no longer play, he continues to thrive his reputation of being a bad boy that parties and drinks too much.

Crashing Down (Dark N.H A.U)
Most people would call my life perfect and I used to agree. I have wonderful and supportive parents and a hot, soon to be pro athlete, boyfriend. I have been described as beautiful, smart, and funny. I would say I had it all. I am currently going to school at Harvard, but l'm doing study abroad at Oxford. Going to Oxford changed a lot of things for me, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle or fix. No, the real problems started when I decided to take one day off to explore London. I started my day off with coffee and ended it with a few stalkers. That's the exact moment my life came crashing down. It feels like I was walking on cloud nine. One second I was floating and the next I'm crashing. All because of Niall Horan. Everything I thought I knew is wrong. How can one man do so much damage to my life? Everything I have learned in my psychology classes are keeping me afloat, especially my recent study of Stockholm Syndrome. What happens when you spend your whole life in the sky? You can't go any higher, which means you can only go down. *** "Can someone who suffers from Stockholm Syndrome truly fall in love with their captor?" Professor Dunham asks. "No. Stockholm Syndrome is your brain coping with the trauma you are experiencing. You can't love someone just because they decide not to kill you." I answer with no hesitation. "And how do you treat Stockholm Syndrome?" Professor Dunham asks like it is a tricky question. My classmate jokingly says, "lots and lots of therapy." Not satisfied with my classmate's answer I add by saying, "and never judge or give advice. You have to help the victim on their own terms and avoid polarization. They see the captor as the one who kept them alive. They won't see the bad right away." *** All ideas and concepts come from my own mind. Do not use any of my ideas. K? Thanks! And there will be swearing, alcohol and drug use, and sexual themes throughout the story.Complete
