Between us ~ NH

She's sixteen, a little lost, and growing up in the shadow of her older brother, Louis Tomlinson.
But everything changes the day she meets Niall . Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a heart way too big for his chest.

What started as late-night chats and shared songs in the X Factor dorms slowly turns into something deeper. They're inseparable. He plays her favorite Lifehouse song without her even asking. She tells him things she's never said out loud.

He's her best friend. He's her safe place. He's supposed to be just that.
But the way his hand lingers on her waist, the way his eyes find hers in a crowded room... maybe it's not just friendship anymore.

Set during the early One Direction days, this story is about love that grows in silence, pain that hides behind smiles, and two people who might be everything the other needs, even if it's the worst timing imaginable.
