Emma Samuels moved to Holmes Chapel in Cheshire from Buffalo New York three years ago. She's been dealing with social anxiety her whole life but thanks to a certain green eyed, curly haired idiot named Harry Styles it's only gotten worse. Harry and his friends, Niall, Liam, Louis and Zayn have bullied her ever since she moved there. Everyday he teases her, and treats her like dirt and she hates it. All because she's a bit over weight, and her anxiety disorder. One day, Harry makes a bet with his friends that he can make Emma fall in love with him by the end of the year and when he does, he'll break her for good. But what happens when a connection grows, and Harry realizes that he and Emma aren't as different as he thought. Will Harry fall for Emma, or will he crush her once and for all.
"I don't get it Harry. You've hated me for three years. Hell you hated me eight hours ago, what changed" I said just above a whisper. He grabbed my arm and spun me around and pinned me against the wall. His chest was against my back, I could hear him breathing heavily down my neck. I squeezed my eyes shut waiting for him to slam my head against the wall but I felt his lips pressed to my ear instead. "Maybe I realized something" he whispered in a low raspy voice. "w-what" I said trying to be strong but failing miserably. "I have strong feelings for you Emma. I always thought they were negative but" he spun me around and put one hand on my hip and the other on my shoulder and slammed me into the wall forcefully "But now, now I'm not so sure"

Broken (a Niall Horan love story)
"Do you feel safe with him?" the question seemed silly; in my head I had immediately laughed at it because it was so absurd. How could I not feel safe with Niall? He had turned out to be the only constant in my crazy life so far; he was always there for me through out everything. He did everything that he possibly could to help me to get to the point that I was at then. Instead of going on a rant about how much I did, in fact, feel safe with Niall, I nodded and said, "I always feel safe with him." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Navaeh is not your average teenager. Sure, she's a few months away from being eighteen, and is having trouble getting a better grade then a C in Biology, but her troubles don't end there. Niall is one fifth of the popular boy-band One Direction, and seems to be living the dream. A chance meeting brings the two together in a circumstance that leaves Niall afraid for Navaeh's safety. She harbors secrets about herself that only her and one other person know and when Niall becomes determined to break down her walls, things get complicated. A relationship is hard enough to keep as it is but when you add an unmistakably cruel family problem it gets harder. ****************TRIGGER WARNING: abuse, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts and actions. Please do not read if easily triggered.********************Complete

In Front of Them (L.S.)
Harry could tell he was upset. He denied it, but Harry knew, Harry always knew. He wanted to comfort him, but couldn't take the chance of someone seeing and it putting their relationship through even more. "What's wrong?" Harry whispered, hoping no one would notice. He worried more as he saw the tears well up in Louis' eyes. He could count on one hand the amount of times he's seen louis cry before now. He's always so strong. "Please," Louis whimpered as a tear escaped. Harry was about to ask what he meant, but stopped himself, he knew. "Louis. You know I want to, so much, but I can't. We can't. They'll kill us, we'll loose our jobs. You always say-" "Please," Louis cut him off, touching his arm slightly. The older boy knew exactly what he was doing and how this simple gesture would affect the younger lad. "Please just kiss me."Complete

Brushed With Fame (major editing to come)
It all started at a meet and greet, When Emily gives Liam her phone to take a picture of the two of them. When he has it in his hands, he takes the opportunity to put his number in her phone. What happens when he wants to get to know what's under her shyness? What happens when Emily is Brushed With Fame? Preview: "You want to know my favorite quote of all time?" She asked looking from the sky to me. Propping my arm up and turn to her, I nodded. She looked back up at the sky and closed her eyes. "'We except the love we think we deserve.' The reason I like it so much is because it describes why everyone falls in love with someone that doesn't deserve to have their love. I guess it's just a human nature thing." She said with a shrug. I smiled at her. "What are you afraid of the most?" I asked her. She opened her eyes and looked at me. "I guess I would be most afraid of rejection. I have always been rejected when it comes to guys and I never knew why. I eventually stopped trying and just started to focus more on my college degree. If a guy comes to me then I will let what happens happen." She said confidently. *Warning*- there are acts of weirdness, random cheesiness, and lot's of random thingsComplete
