Behind the Spotlight

They were the biggest boyband of the 90s- five voices, five faces, one unstoppable force. But behind the lights, the screaming fans, and the perfect harmonies, one of them was slowly falling apart.
Gary Barlow is the quiet engine of the band: the songwriter, the planner, the one who never lets anything slip. While the others laugh, party, and live the dream, Gary is drowning in pressure, sleepless nights, and the fear of not being enough.
As tensions rise and cracks begin to show, the spotlight turns inward. Misunderstood by his bandmates-especially Robbie, whose jabs cut deeper than anyone knows-Gary begins to question everything: his role, his worth, and whether he can keep going at all.
But sometimes, the person you least expect is the one who sees you most clearly.
A story of music, mental health, and the quiet strength of being seen, Behind the Spotlight is a slow-burning, emotional journey of breaking down, opening up, and nding your way back-with a little help from someone who never stopped listening.

MELODY
In a world where every heartbeat is watched and every step dissected, Kendall Gray sings to be heard-and to be herself. A solo superstar with a voice that captivates millions, she struggles to find quiet in a life dictated by flashing cameras and endless expectations. Zayn Malik, a member of the legendary band One Direction, knows the price of fame all too well. Between tours, late-night studio sessions, and the weight of adoration, he and Kendall find solace in one another-first as friends, then as something deeper, a melody of emotions they never expected. Alongside them are Niall, ever kind and grounding; Louis, mischievous and fiercely loyal; Liam, steady and protective; and Harry, wild, chaotic, and unforgettable. Together, they navigate the dizzying highs of fame and the crushing lows of anxiety, heartbreak, and loneliness. Melody is a story of friendship and love, of laughter and tears, of two hearts finding harmony amid the dissonance of stardom-a reminder that even in the brightest spotlight, the truest music is often the one played between souls.

Silence
@RANDOM28lol contacted me with a story idea where they asked if they could write the poems in the story. I didn't feel like I could write the story they wanted me to but I asked them to send me one of the poems. The poem inspired me. ❤ So I suggested another concept of the story and they agreed. All the poems in the story are written by the talented @RANDOM28lol. Harry has lost his voice. He has been mute for years. Ever since his family was brutally murdered in their home. He suffers from PTSD and survivor's guilt. Thinking that not allowing himself to talk somehow honor the death of his family. It's a lonely life. He has no one to talk to. Doctors and therapists have given up on him. He writes poems as a way to express how he feels. He also writes at work. Running the gossip section of The Sun is something he despises but he's a journalist and he needs a job. No one tries to talk to him at work either. It's his own fault. But he hates how they go silent and then whisper about him as he enters the newsroom in the mornings. He keeps to himself. Until the new sports journalist catches his eye. Beautiful. Blue eyes. Wonderful smile. To his surprise, the man knows sign language and he's also determined to talk to him. Life as he knows it changes. It's scary. Will he be able to actually overcome his trauma? Be something more than a bystander of his own life? Warnings: Trauma, death.Lengkap
a louis to go, please! » stylinson au
❝my fire doesn't seem to be as strong like you told me, the wind is trying to put it out. it's raining and i'm not sure how much longer i'm able to save my fire from expiring.❞ louis works at mcdonald's and that's the only reason harry goes there nearly everyday. ➽ a few important words before you start: at the chapter "bad dreams?" it's getting deep. mental health issues are becoming a huge part of this book. so this is a trigger warning: if depression, suicide (thoughts), self harm and various other mental health disorders are triggering you, i advise you to not read this book. otherwise, enjoy reading <3 cover credits: @Larry_smilinsonLengkap

Invisible - A Ziam Fanfiction
Zayn Malik is invisible. It's the way he's wanted it for so long, it's just easier. He's so socially awkward, so shy that it's just easier to be invisible, that way he didn't have to make a fool of himself when he tried to talk to someone. He's invisible and he's okay with that. Except for one tiny detail; Liam Payne. Liam Payne has been the focus of Zayn's thoughts since they started going to school together so long ago. Now they're both in Uni, they even have a class together but Liam still doesn't know Zayn even exists. That is until Liam starts to work at the same coffee shop Zayn does and Zayn is forced to train him and actually make himself known to the bloke. When Liam finds out that he should know Zayn, he feels bad and wants to make it up to Zayn and that involves spending as much time with him as possible, his friends included, trying to get to know Zayn but Zayn doesn't understand why he would want to get to know him. He wasn't anything special, he didn't think he was worth the time, but Liam did. Will Zayn let his fears control his life forever or will he finally take a chance and make himself visible again?Lengkap](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/49825632-256-k857618.jpg)
