"Annie it's me, you know I wouldn't stop yo-Harold, please, it's different. A relationship. A commitment like that. It's so different. It's different than this, Harry please don't ruin tonight. Please." I searched her face, and I could feel my heart shatter.
"I never meant to ruin tonight. I thought....well, I obviously thought wrong."

Vada Carter. 18 years old. Not famous, just a stupid girl. Harry Styles. 19 years old. Very famous, but he's just a stupid boy. "You can't say stuff like that Harry! I can't feel this way about you!" 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. A few more steps and he's right in front of me, only an inch left between our noses. "Let's be scared together Vada." He tell me, both of his hands cupping my cheeks. I shake my head and sniffle back my runny nose due to the pouring rain. "You don't understand Harry. I'm scared of this. I'm scared of my feelings. I'm scared of what I'll do to mess this up. I'm scared I'm going to get hurt. I'm scared of it all." I tell him, my voice now at a quiet whisper but full of emotion. It's the story of them. The story about how they were stupid to fall for each other.Complete

"Yeah. They say that people whose threads are connected are bound to meet some day in life, no matter how far apart they live or how much their lifestyles differ. The string can stretch or become tangled, but it can never be broken. When the encounter happens, it's supposed to be a life altering event for both parts involved. People connected this way are bound by Fate itself." I finished the tale and smiled, enjoying the holistic idea of something great reserved for us in the universe. "Do you think our red threads of fate are linked?" Harry asked. "I'm absolutely sure they are." I said without hesitancy, feeling his hand on my leg after hearing my words.
