He's her rock, her one and only, her support system. Their relationship is what every girl dreams of. They don't have any other friends because they have each other and don't need anyone else. It's been like this since they were five years old, when Harry moved onto Leah's street. They've been through everything together, first everything, first job together, first high school crushes. Then he auditioned for the x-factor and his recognition blew up as he became one-fifth of one direction. Even then she shared every experience, going on all the tours, to all the concerts, everything. But that's where it goes wrong, and he breaks the news to her. He's leaving for a 2-year-long tour with the band and this time she can't come. It'll be the first time they've been apart for longer than a weekend (when Harry went to Devon on holiday , aged 10).

How will they cope? Will they fight with every ounce of their being to fix their dying relationship or just let it crumble in the dust, saying it was good but they have to move on now?

Possessive Rich Bully
[WARNING - EXPLICIT CONTENT] I pulled my elbow from his death grip. "You're ashamed of me. Admit it. You hate the idea of been seen with me." I shot venomous accusations his way. He didn't look at me. I'd rejected his kiss, pushed him away from and in return he'd turned cold and cruel, again. He'd shown nothing but hatred for me in public yet held me with aching tenderness when it was just us. I was sick of his games. He needed to decide whether he wanted me or not. "You parade new girls daily in front of my eyes," a sob escaped my throat. "And don't even deny you don't occasionally screw Charlotte behind my back." His ice blue eyes pierced my soul with his sharp gaze. He was teetering on the verge of lashing out on me. "How would you feel if I did the same to you, huh?" I pushed at his stiff chest. "Had several boyfriends, invited them to our home." His eyes cut to me, and a look darker than I've ever seen clouded his features I gestured to our grandiose home bought by his dizzying wealth. "And parade them right in front--" Before I knew it, I was face down and nearly suffocated by the soft material of our couch, I barely noticed my skirt pushed upwards and panties shoved aside. "You're my goddamn wife, Astoria. I will not tolerate your defiance." The sound of his belt loosening, zipper lowering, he entered me violently taking my breath with him. "Yet everyone thinks I'm still your charity case because you won't claim me." "You want to be claimed? Fine. But I am warning you, this lifestyle you're so accustomed to will be gone. I will be dirt poor and your family will be fired." "Then divorce and set me free. I am done being your dirty secret." Axel Trent, the spoiled prince always got whatever he wished for, and I was one of the thing he had wished to possess. Our fate were meant to collide in the cruelest way possible. It left me shattered. THIS IS A TOXIC ROMANCE BOOK. DON'T EXPECT HEART AND FLOWERS cover by IvvyKyComplete

In his lifetime he had never had a real friend, maybe he never even wanted a friend. His always-bored face doesn't really make him seem friendly, many people have called Greg emotionless, that could be true. No one ever seemed to care what had happened to his real parents, they just say sorry for his loss.

He's been taken to many doctors by the social workers, had tests ran on him numerous times, only to find absolutely nothing wrong with him.
