"Two Ghosts" wasn't just a song. It was a confession. And five years later, Cheri is finally forced to hear it."
Cheri Rousseau thought she had buried the past where it belonged beneath fabric swatches, stitched into quiet dreams, and hidden behind the walls of the life she's tried to build. Once, she was the quiet but fiery girl who captured the heart of Harry Styles in the whirlwind chaos of his One Direction fame. He was her muse, her mess, her everything.
But the industry tore them apart. Fame, long nights, and one fight too many shattered what they had. When Harry dropped his debut solo album in 2017, she knew. Every lyric, every aching word it was all about her.
Now, five years later, just when she thinks she's finally moved on (or at least convinced herself she has), her phone rings. And it's him.
What do you do when the ghost of your first love isn't a memory, but a man with a voice that still makes your hands shake?
Cheri's about to find out that some loves don't stay in the past.. no matter how far you run.
A story about heartbreak, healing, and the fine line between love and pain.

"I want to go home." I plead.
"Do you? Because Lydia, I will take you home myself if that's what you want." He says lowly. I knit my brows together in confusion. He takes another step toward me.
"But, don't you remember? There's people out there, Lydia." He steps right up to me and tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear. "People who want to hurt you." he continues. I feel tears well up in my eyes as I let out a sharp exhale. Harry leans down so that his lips are right next to my ear and I tremble in pure terror.
"And this time..." I feel him speak against my ear.
"I won't be there to save you." he whispers darkly.
