Pretty Venom |N.H|
How you gonna say that? Take it all back. Fuckin' with my head will make my heart attack. - When Jasey Foster agrees to join her father, owner of Foster Music Management, on tour with punk band, Pretty Venom, she finds herself fighting her morals and struggling to make sense of the world around her. Niall Horan, lead guitarist in the band, faces his own struggles finding himself in the world after having to escape the life he created for himself back home. His rockstar nights are followed by hungover and dreadful days as he searches for motivation in his clouded mind. "Do I make you nervous, Jasey?" he asks, looking down to me as he takes a step closer, awaiting the answer. I step backwards from him, shaking my head. He takes another step to me. "Use your words, Jasey." I finally step towards him, raising my head to face his. "Why would you make me nervous? Why would I waste my time worrying about a rude, entitled, selfish musician who has to have his friends save him from every mistake he makes? It's no wonder you had to leave Ireland. You probably couldn't own up to your poor decisions and now that you have three people who will cover your ass from any conflict you walk into, you don't care about your recklessness because you know there will be someone to clean up the messes you make." His lips slowly turn to a grin. "There she is. Keep going.

Wonderwall- (1D/Niall Horan)
A girl who has just figured out what she wants to do with her life. She yearns to travel the globe; taste what the world has to offer; her hands are outstretched toward the feeling of utter and complete happiness knowing she is where she is supposed to be. Where she is destined to be. Not knowing that her so-called destiny means running into a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy of One Direction. Will she be brave enough to knock down her own walls and let him in? Will she let something that has the all-encompassing potential to be utterly and irrevocably amazing happen? --- Feel free to check out my Teen Fiction story, "7 Letters". Description: "For an insurmountable time, I sat there, in my parked car, staring blankly through the windshield with jumbled thoughts. How dare he try and charm his way back into my life? How could he? What he did was unforgivable. Unreasonable. The very thought of what he did makes me cringe and disgusted in not only him but of the person that I put so much faith and belief in. I believed he’d prove everything I ever thought, wrong. I believed the people I loved wouldn’t hurt me. But there I was again, proving myself wrong as well. I was left with nothing but hurt, doubt and regret weighing heavy on my weak, fragile shoulders." -- Age 5, 6 words and 7 letters. At the age of 5, there were 6 words and 7 letters that brought Philipa and Matthew together. Matthew was the last person Philipa expected to hurt her in the most unimaginable way possible. He proves her wrong and replaces all of the faith and trust she had in him and the world before her with doubt and distrust. Will these seven letters be the only thing to bring them back together like it did the first time? Link: http://www.wattpad.com/story/8282053-7-lettersComplete
Spotlight |h.s|
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. On screen, they're happily in love and yearning for each other's touch. Outside of that, though, it's constant yelling and fighting between the two of them. There's never a second of peace. Harry goes too far with what he says and Aubrey claps back in an instant. They don't clash very well whatsoever. When they're offered a big paycheck for a PR relationship, will the forced closeness become a little too real? Will they start to grow an understanding for each other? It's like they all say... there's a fine line between love and hate. **MATURE CONTENT** HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in harrystyles #1 in louistomlinson #1 in zaynmalik #1 in liampayne STARTED JANUARY 2021 - COMPLETED JULY 2021Complete
