Selene lives on music, discipline, and carefully controlled silences. She is young, yet already established as a global singer, used to proving her worth every single day under the constant gaze of a suffocating manager who decides what is right for her, what is allowed, what is "strategic." Control is not just a choice: it is a necessity.
When she becomes involved in a project that brings her into close contact with One Direction, Selene steps into a world that doesn't belong to her. Fame, chaos, irony, shared exhaustion, and connections that form without being planned. Five very different boys, united by music and a fragile balance, who have no intention of treating her like a pawn.
Yet something inside her begins to waver.
A name etched into her skin.
A gap in her memory she can't explain.
Selene has learned to keep the past at a distance, to smother it beneath work and imposed rules. It's easier not to remember, even when her body seems determined to tell a different story.
Then there is Harry Styles.
A gaze that seems to know more than it says, a presence that cracks every certainty she has. Between them, an inexplicable and immediate connection takes shape-made of silences that weigh more than words and emotions Selene can't quite place.
What grows between them is neither simple nor linear. It is built on restrained glances, boundaries being questioned, and choices no contract can make for them. A fragile balance, ready to shatter, where past and present brush against each other without ever fully overlapping.
Because sometimes, the truth is found in the most unexpected place:
in the heart of someone who doesn't know they love you anymore
• WARNING: This story contains sexual content and vulgar language. •
Your first love. Everyone has had them, still has them or will have them.
Your first love is the first person you truly and deeply fall in love with. Your first love is the person you share your firsts with. Your first kiss that's a true act of love and not an impulse. Your first time with a person you actually love, and not just because you're horny.
Having your first kiss given by your first love, is the best thing that can ever happen. Having your virginity taken away by your first love, is the most magical thing in this world. Your first real relationship being your first love, is something literally impossible never forget.
You can never forget your first love. They will always stay with you. No matter how long you've been apart, or how bad the relationship ended. They will always pop up in your mind when you see something that reminds you of them. When someone asks you how old you were when you had your first real relationship. They will always stay by your side.
That's the same thing with Olivia Tomlinson and Harry Styles in this story.
The relationship starts, and it's all cute and fun. The honeymoon phase. The best phase in a relationship.
When Olivia and Harry are together for a longer time, they start noticing things that are annoying to each other. They start to argue more.
What if it turns into a toxic relationship? A toxic relationship and also an on and off relationship? What if they just can't leave each other alone? What if they realize it's impossible to get over each other, no matter how toxic the relationship was?
