Through The Dark (Liam Payne Fanfic)
What would you do if your whole world was turned upside down? You're 17 years older, and the parents that you thought meant the world to you, left without any explanation? What would you do if your abusive boyfriend made it his goal to get revenge after you sent him to prison for assault? What would you do if your Uncle secretly made a deal with One Direction to kidnap you and keep you for 6 months? I never had those kind of thoughts/questions race through my mind until the day of my high school graduation. Most would assume it's all fun and games, but living with 5 boys has its hardships and even it's tears. I looked deep into the eyes of my protector and sighed. "I promise I will protect you and keep you safe. No one will ever hurt you again." he said and stroked my cheek.Complete
Inspire: Book One (bxb) ✔️
Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete
