To the outsider, he has it all.

A place in the university of his dreams, a spot on one of the best soccer teams in its league, a position in one of the most prestigious fraternities in the country, and the good looks and swoon-worthy foreign accent to top it off...

Until he rolls up his ever-present long sleeves, revealing intricately designed tattoos that only he knows the meaning of. And if you happen to mention the faded scars beneath them, you can look forward to a hospital trip in the near future.

Niall Horan has it all. But what happens when the new life he's worked so hard for is put in jeopardy by the past he tries desperately to forget? Will the illusion everyone else sees become as faded as the scars on his wrists? 

Read on for a punk/fratboy Niall Horan AU like no other... filled with mystery, strange relatives, and maybe a little mad science action, join Niall and his celebrity friends as they become normal people in a completely (albeit slightly unrealistic) abnormal situation.

**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. When he meets a girl in a nightclub, and sleeps with her, he has no regrets because quite frankly he doesn't have a full memory of that night. He figures it was just another night of his life, and moves on, having no idea that very night would come back into play soon. **This is a Niall Horan fan fiction, but you really don't need to know anything about him to read it.

A Love Close Near Death by ArianaLovve

(Caution! May be triggering. If you trigger easily I advise you to not continue reading.) Niall Horan always been the normal one out of all his friends back home, but that all changed after his XFactor audition. He believes that no one will ever love him. Why would they? He's hideous, fat, a disgrace, and supposedly gay. As a matter of fact, he just might be. There is one member of the group that understands him, that pities him because he knows how he feels. What will happen when Niall tries to take his own life? Will the one he loves follow in his footsteps? Will everyone be overjoyed? Or will everyone regret everything they ever did to him and become overly depressed? (PS) I don't think that Niall is fat, hideous, a disgrace or gay. I love Niall with all my life and heart. He is my saviour, my smile, my reason to be. If anyone thinks that Niall is hideous, fat, a disgrace or gay.... I'll personally find out where you live go to your house & stab you while you're sleeping.

After all, eyes are the window to the soul. *** "Thank you," he murmurs sleepily, raising his hand to bring it to my cheek. His thumb slides against my soft skin slowly, it burns hot at his touch.

"For being my light." *** *MATURE* HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in collegeromance #1 in panicattacks #1 in badboy #1 in brooding #1 in enemiestofriends #1 in trauma #1 in grumpyxsunshine

"That's how high your pulse is right now," he says as he presses his body further against mine, closing any gap that existed between us. His thumb grazes over my lips, his eyes dark. His hands are off of me abruptly, and he walks away, heading for the stairs. I stare after him, unable to move from my position against the wall. He looks back at me, a coy smirk forming on his face. He says, "I'm dying to find out how high I can make it go." -- **WARNING This story contains heavy use of violence, drug abuse, domestic abuse, sexual content, drug addiction, and illegal activities.

UNDERGROUND by kima3126

I'm an artist. At least that's what I'm trying to become. I study art so that's a good step right? I have a normal life... well not really but it's not completely fucked up you know? I just do the things I maybe shouldn't but there are plenty other dudes doing the same. Drinking, partying, drugs... I won't say I'm proud of it but I don't regret it either. I like my life... sometimes I do. Who would've thought that my life would end up like this fucking mess? And who would've thought that I could change that much? All because I liked a boy... Careful this book is full with trigger warnings I will mention at each chapter. Some of them are: - drug use - alcohol - sexual abuse - physical abuse - mental abuse - suicide - self harm - eating disorder

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
