Harry Styles AU
Riley Smith was the epitome of self preservation. She had mastered the art of building a fortress around herself, so thick and impenetrable that at 27 years old, no one really knew who she was. At times, she didn't even know herself.
By day, she runs 'Buttercups Cake and Coffee' stand at a London Indoor Market. By night, she wallows in a pool of aching loneliness and depression.
That is, until a ghost from her past returns, in the form of once best friend now nemesis Harry Styles. And he's opened his own stall on the Market, right next to hers.
She can't hide from Harry. He has his very own key to her fortress, because he knows all of her dark little secrets.
As her walls begin to crumble, can Riley hold herself up or will she fall down with them?

I hate her, I hate her, I fucking hate her. If she died right now, I wouldn't care. My main concern would be how I would get my money for this stunt. I have not an ounce of a feeling for this girl in front of me, yet I can't move under her angry gaze. I wouldn't dare. "Fuck you." I whisper out a pitiful insult to get the last word. "Fuck you." She replies just as quietly, taking a deep inhale as she holds our eye contact. She grinds her jaw as she stays looking at me, eyes scanning over my face with a huff. I hold my same scowl, still not backing away from her. I'm stuck in my place, my face not even an inch away from hers. I don't know how it happened, who started it, or what, but before I know it, her lips are on mine and I'm shoving her body backwards into the shelf. - Aubrey Hart and Harry Styles, costars in the movie "Forbidden Connection", hate each other.

I tell him, speaking louder than usual. "Why?" He asks me. I didn't hesitate to answer this time. "Because I'm scared! I'm scared of the feelings I have towards you!" I tell him. "I'm scared too, so why don't we just be scared together?" He asks me as he starts walking towards me. "We can't Harry." I tell him, now only a few steps away from each other.
