Lenny
I had an addiction.
This addiction was so much worse than drugs or alcohol. An addiction to money.
Money ruled my world, it consumed me in ways I couldn't describe.
I never believed in those stories I would read in my books, or the ones I'd watch in all those movies. I always thought it was a load of bullshit.
But in what world would I let love get in the way of my money? Especially when they could be the ones to jeopardise everything I have ever worked for?
Now here's one better, let's forget about love, why the hell would I ever let Harry Styles fuck up anything for me?
Simple answer.
I wouldn't.
Harry
She once told me that The Strip was a game, one that she thrived to play.
There was much more to her than meets the eyes and boy was I eager to find what made her so intriguing to me.
Once I discovered who she really was, it only made me want more.
There's a fine line between dangerous and murderous, and I was out for blood.

I looked up at him, unsure of what just happened. I saw the blood glistening off of his gold H ring as he pushed my hair out of my face, scanning my eyes, making sure I was okay. "You should go back inside and find your friends. Go home and lock your doors." He said as he turned to walk away. "Wait!" I said weakly. He reached the end of the ally and turned around. "I don't even know your name." He paused, his eyes locking on mine before simply saying, "I'm Harry." then turning back around and disappearing into the night.

Affinity [h.s]
[COMPLETED] "I see you've become brave" He chuckles, his eyes dark. "I didn't have a choice," I say without a hint of emotion in my voice. His eyes stay still at me when after a certain point I look away for a moment as the situation was getting too intense. Our silent breathing filled the room as he stood there holding me to the door, his fingers digging deep in my skin. Hard but not enough to hurt. "You have to tell me what goes on in your mind when it comes to me. Why do you keep hurting me?" I look him in the eyes, questioning. He leans in making me doubt what he intended to do as I turn my head looking to my left. His forehead softly touches my temple and rests against it. For some reason, it calmed me down. I stand there not moving a bone, too scared perhaps. Slowly, he takes a few strands of hair tucking it behind my ear. I hear him take a deep breath, and slowly exhale through his mouth parting his lips. His warm breath made my skin moist as he slowly he leans further down to my ear and he touches it softly with his lips sending shivers down my body. "Trust me, you don't wanna know what goes on in my mind when it comes to you." //Grace Evans is the childhood friend of Harry Styles, a member of the world-famous band 'Affinity'.

Can love really heal all? Or will they both be destroyed by the things that broke them in the first place? Harry and Hannah are in for the fight of their lives, the ultimate battle between a broken heart and a dark past. "You once asked me who saves me and I didn't have an answer. Well, I did, but I was too chicken shit to say it. It's you. You save me. You are my light. When I look into your eyes, it's like it shines on the darkest parts of my soul and I suddenly feel like maybe things aren't so bad, like maybe I deserve better. But sometimes when I look at you, I see that same darkness dimming your light, like I do the opposite to you that you do to me.

{completed} "I want to go home." I plead. "Do you? Because Lydia, I will take you home myself if that's what you want." He says lowly. I knit my brows together in confusion. He takes another step toward me. "But, don't you remember? There's people out there, Lydia." He steps right up to me and tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear. "People who want to hurt you." he continues. I feel tears well up in my eyes as I let out a sharp exhale. Harry leans down so that his lips are right next to my ear and I tremble in pure terror.

The Last Burden
"I hate you." Was all I could manage to say, given the fact that I was battling my emotions. I just lost all four of my brothers, and I'm being taken by our most greatest rival. We've been enemies for centuries. Our gangs have never gotten along because we always treat each other with disrespect and steal each other's junk. Not to mention we go into each other's territory and rob what could of been theirs. There's no doubt in my mind I will be treated horribly while I'm in the arms of my enemies. They won't show any mercy and they will be very abusive when needed. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they beat me up because they were bored. "Well guess what? We hate you too." Harry commented before he slammed the door shut and made his way to the passenger seat. "I'd say get comfortable and enjoy the ride since it's gonna be long. But since you're the f***ing enemy, have fun living in hell for the rest of your life darling. Your life is in my hands now." Harry grinned evilly as I felt my breath hitch in the back of my throat.Complete
Love In A Purple Haze
The club was eerily quiet during the day, the stage stripped of its glamor under the harsh fluorescent lights. Vince led Harry through the main floor and up a narrow staircase to a private lounge. The air here was different heavier, charged. Inside, Louis was waiting. He sat on a sleek leather couch, his cigarette smoldering in an ashtray on the table before him. The faint scent of smoke and expensive cologne lingered in the room. "Harry," Louis said, his voice smooth and low, like the hum of an engine. "Have a seat." Harry hesitated, then sat across from him. "I've been watching you," Louis continued, his piercing blue eyes locking onto Harry's. "You've got something, kid. Something rare." Harry swallowed. "Thanks, I guess." Louis smirked, his expression both amused and predatory. "You're still green, but that's part of your charm. You've got potential. And potential... can be very profitable." "What do you want from me?" Harry asked, cutting to the chase. Louis leaned back, exhaling a thin stream of smoke. "I want to make you an offer. Something bigger than just being the headliner at this club. I'm talking about taking your career to the next level." Chapter ManagementComplete
Before The End (One Direction)
"I wasn't addicted to drugs. Yes, I liked using drugs, but to call me an addict would be a false accusation. But then, why can't I stop?"

Can Harry recognize the consequences of his actions before he hurts everyone he loves? *Trigger Warning: Deals with drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, depression, self harm, sexual abuse, etc.*Complete
