If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. I need to see what this city would have in store for me.
That's what Amelia Bryne told her self when she dropped everything and moved north to the windy city. Her first apartment, her dream college of choice, and her best friend at her side, what could she possibly be worried about?
Everying, she was worried about everything.
School, finding a stable job, classes, making friends, absolutely everything. Yet Amelia's determined not to let it hold her back.
That is until, she meets Niall. The boy with the tattoos, the piercings, and a general 'couldn't care less,' attitude. He pushed all of her buttons, and seemingly tried to make her life absolutely miserable.
But what happens when they're forced to work together on a semester long project? One that requires you to really really know your partner? Will Amelia stand behind her walls or will they come tumbling down when Niall finally lets her in?

Walking in the Wind One Direction ONHOLD
Ready to go back to 2010 with me? Amber wakes up in her childhood bedroom with a massive headache. She looks at the date and it says; April 11 2010. This can't be right, because only yesterday it was October 16 2024. But it is right, it is real. Somehow she ended up as a 16 year old in 2010, and on top of that, her sister is dragging her to the auditions for the X Factor. There she realizes, she's competing against one direction... But they don't even know they're one direction yet. Follow her on her journey to success, helping the boys come together, becoming friends with them, and maybe even fall in love. I honestly can't really cope with Liams passing so I'm writing a fanfic. This is my way of keeping Liam alive. The idea of the book is one that I pulled from an old unpublished fanfic I wrote in 2014. The idea was to travel back in time to be with one direction, which now seems something I want to do more than ever. I'll tell you now that I decided the main character will travel back from a time where Liam was still alive so she doesn't have to deal with knowing when he'll pass away. Just to keep everything light and fun. Disclaimer I'll publish as I go so sorry if you have to wait for the next chapter, but I'm uploading every other day. Normally I wouldn't publish my writing I'm too much of a perfectionist to share stuff like this but grieving alone really sucks so I'm just hoping us directioners can find comfort within each other. I'll try my best to include many personal details and events about the boys into the book but I have to leave some room for creative writing. I'm also just grieving and hurting so please let's be kind to one another.
He Lied | Harry Styles
"When you're young, everything feels like the end of the world. But it's not, it's just the beginning." We were ruined after I left her alone. She was clueless that I needed to leave for my ownself and for my own dream. I was selfish. I made a promise of a future with her filled with happiness but ended up breaking it. She shed a lot of tears because of me, and I know I shouldn't have done it. I'm a fool to hurt a girl who deserves something better. He ruined everything after leaving without saying good bye. He left me with piles of problems and responsibilities that I couldn't even manage on my own. It was like he doesn't care, he doesn't care at all. It was a stupid decision to fall in love to those mesmerizing pair of eyes. I experienced couple of melancholy nights because of him, but I know he wasn't worth it. How can I even trust him again if He Lied? Characters that aren't part of One Direction and the events inside the story are fictional. Please do not copy.

Louis sees his smile everyday, but he knows it's no longer for him. Someone else makes Harry happier, but Louis wanted it to be him. They could have had forever.

!!!!!UNEDITED AND CRINGY AFF!!!!!! ______________ I take slow, unsure steps towards him and place my hands on his tense forearm and he softens at my touch. Only now could I hear the small sobs coming from him and it broke my heart even more listening to the pain and agony in his cries. His back was facing me but his body shook with his cries. "You h-hated me even if it was just for that split second and it hurts to know that I did that to myself because of myself. It h-hurt to hear you from the o-other side of that door, listening to you c-cry all because of me! I couldn't even comfort you because you hated me. I always fuck up and it still confuses me as to why you still choose to stay with me" he says and heaves in a breath "Because I love you Niall and I don't hate you. I don't think I ever will" ___________________________ Moving from another country was smooth for Sasha all because of that unmistakable person sitting beside her on the plane to her future Naturally, they both fell in love and things started getting complicated.

Stockholm Syndrome (Larry Stylinson)
My heart was beating and adrenaline was running through my body at a thousand miles per second. My hand wrapped around the door knob, but then I was pulled back painfully by my arm. I was whipped around and was face to face with a pissed off Louis. "Where do you think you're going, love?" He asked, and I gulped at how dark his voice sounded. The sane part of me was absolutley terrified of it, and I didn't like it, but the part of me that thought Louis was incredible was so turned on by his dark side. "Answer the question." He said as he squeezed my wrist tighter, and I winced a bit, but I didn't answer the question. "Were you trying to leave? Were you trying to run away from me?" He asked, and I felt his nails digging into my skin. I gave a small yelp of pain and then he was dragging me harshly by my arm down the hall again. He passed the room that I was staying in before and opened another door that was three doors down. He pushed me inside, and I couldn't see a thing. The room was completely dark. I began to breath faster because I've never been a big fan of the dark. I hated it. I didn't like what I couldn't see. I jumped as I felt a hand on my waist and my breath caught as I felt a surge of electricity run through me. I felt him pull me closer to him until my back was against his chest. His lips rubbed against my ear and he slowly whispered out "You can't leave, Harry. You're never gonna get away. I'm not gonna let you."Complete

Just can't let her go {Punk Louis Tomlinson fanfic}
"Why do you keep pretending you're afraid of me?" He hissed, obvious anger in his eyes. "Because Louis; if I'm not afraid of you I'll end up loving you!" I shouted. "And that means I'll get hurt...because that's just the way you are!" I said, hoping he would correct me. "You're right." He said simply after a long pause. "You're right." She was new; he was jaded. She was oblivious; he knew all too well. She was innocent; he was everything but. And anyone who looked at the two would know just how wrong they were together. Yet there was no denying the obvious fire that seemed to heat every time they were near each other. This isn't the typical "boy loves girl- they fall in love" etc. etc. This is about heart wrenching confessions, breath taking encounters, love shattering secrets,and two people who so desperately want to know just what love is.Complete
5 Leagues Above ➸ Larry Stylinson
Louis could feel Harry behind him, the hot breath on his neck and the soft hands upon his waist. "You know I do more than tutor, don't you?" Harry whispered softly in his ear. The butterflies in Louis' stomach erupted, but before he could say anything, Harry had him pinned against the wall. Louis smiled when Harry kissed him, and wrapped his hand around the back of Harry's beautiful curls, pulling him in tighter. This felt right. Perfect, in fact. But no one could know... No one could ever know. * * * * * * * * * * * * Louis is the high school jock and the most popular kid in school with a big secret - he's gay. Despite his popularity, Louis feels empty inside. Loneliness consumes him, and Harry - his tutor that he's liked since day one- is the only thing that'll fill that void. Harry is a humble soft boy who knows more about romance than he let on. He tutors Louis multiple times a week and starts out blissfully unaware of Louis' feelings for him. However, he quickly develops feelings of his own and has a hard time hiding them from Louis. As their feelings for one another turn from a spark of interest into a flaming fire of passionate love, it becomes a constant struggle to keep their romance a secret. * * * * * * * * * * * * [Complete] First started: Nov. 5, 2020 First 1,000 reads: Nov. 6, 2020 First 10,000 reads: Nov. 11, 2020 First 50,000 reads: Dec. 5, 2020 Top Ranks: #1 in stylinson #4 in louistomlinson #1 in niallhoran #1 in larrystylinson #1 in louisandharry #1 in 1Dlove #2 in louisComplete
