'Are you here alone babe?' He asked, smirking at my stunned face.
I considered my answer for a second before stuttering, 'N-no..' I turned in my seat, hoping to see Niall. But he was no where to be seen.
'What's your name?' He abruptly asked.
'Anna.' i replied, nervously picking at my nails.
'I'm Zayn. Don't look so nervous babe,' He chuckled.
I continued to stare at my hands, not daring to look into his eyes. I could tell he was observing me. Suddenly, he leant down under the table, i thanked god i wasn't wearing a dress tonight. He emerged with my bag in his hands.
I was stunned. No one had ever approached me like this before. His eyes locked with mine as he carefully opened the clasp of my bag. His fingers dipped inside, emerging with my phone firmly clasped in them. He swiftly entered his number into my phone and then returned the phone into the bag.
Reaching down once again he replaced it on the floor. I jumped as his hand brushed my leg as he sat back up, smirking at my petrified face. Goosebumps erupted throughout my body. I couldn't move. He then got up and left, without a backwards glance.

Hollow (Harry Styles) #Wattys2016
I cupped her face in my hands, rubbing my thumbs in circles over her cheeks. She was having trouble finding words to describe what she felt, and I could relate. I loved her more than words could describe and telling her I loved her was almost an insult to my true feelings for her. My heart ached at just the thought of her not being with me. I honestly don't know what I would have done with myself if I had never went to that stupid party and met her. But, I have a feeling, we would have found each other, eventually. This love's too strong to ignore forever. Both of us had pieces of us missing, that neither of us were aware of until we met. We were like two puzzle pieces that finally connected. "I love you," I whispered, leaning my forehead against hers. "I love you more," she replied in a small whisper, her hand reaching up to caress my cheek while the other rested on my thigh. I shook my head, annoyed and charmed by the audacity she had to think that she could possibly love me more. "I love you most," I persisted, causing her head to moved away from mine as she looked into my eyes. "Always?" She questioned, her eyes unreadable for a moment before a flash of fear passed through. "Forever," I assured her and meaning it. We could live an entire lifetime or for eternity, and my love for her would never fade. It would only grow. There was nothing in this world that would ever change the way I loved her. My, Katarina.Complete![Unraveled [h.s]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/388134297-256-k786614.jpg)
Unraveled [h.s]
Love. War. Lies. Nothing stays buried. Emersyn escaped once. But freedom comes with scars, and the past has a way of bleeding through the cracks. As secrets unravel and loyalties fracture, she's forced to decide who she can trust in a world built on betrayal. And Harry Styles, the only person who felt like safety, might be the one who costs her everything. When it comes down to him or her, survival or sacrifice, she knows one thing: She's not making the wrong choice this time. * "Then help me understand." The room tilts. My breath is ragged, his face too close, that quiet demand pulling the ground out from under me. Neither of us moves. There's an inch between us that feels like a cliff edge, almost like one wrong step will send us both over. "I hate you," I whisper, the words tasting like blood and truth. His jaw tightens, and his eyes drag over my face like he's memorizing every line, every crack I swore I'd never let him see. The silence stretches thin; my pulse is hammering so loud it drowns out the world. "Good," he mutters finally, voice rough. **** Started: 1/14/2025 Ended: TBD **** (Cover credit @antiheroics16)
Always You •𝖫.𝖲• ✓
"Come on, do it, curse, scream, yell at me, hit me, do whatever you have wanted to do all these years." He just stares at me, not doing anything. "Do something! I made a mistake, and I am paying for it, and as if watching you, letting go of yourself as I'm not able to do anything is not enough! I have to watch our friends suffer the consequences of my mistakes. Our friends are done with our bullshit, Harry. And quite frankly, so am I..." Silence. "Say something for God's sake!" I yell, and I look up just to see him with his head bowed down and his shoulders shaking as he sobs . This is all my fault. This is my mess. ... "I believe you, just like I should have from the start." He says gently, and I just cling on him more as I feel his warmth and hear his heartbeat. "Your heart is beating so fast..." I whisper as if it was a secret. "It's beating for you... Always for you, it never stopped beating for you."Complete
Escape (Ziall Horlik)
"Did you honestly think I would't find you, Blondie?" Zayn crossed his arms. "Actually, I hoped you wouldn't.. But yeah somewhere in there." Niall says. "Sassy, are we?" Zayn put on and amused smirk. "Zayn, you can't get away with it this time. I have friends. They'll report me-" "But I texted them all. Saying you had to go see your mum in an institution." Zayn smirks. "How long have you been watching me?!" "Long enough. Theres something you should know, Blondie," Zayn bends to Nialls ear, "No escaping this time. Im your worst nightmare and your wildest dream."Complete
What Makes You Beautiful (Niall Horan)
I feel a shove behind me, and instantly fly over the rope. I land on my back, staring up into the blue sky. I suddenly realize that I am actually over the rope. "Oh crap!" I say out loud. I try to pick my self up, but my legs are stuck under the oblivious girls snapping pictures of the approaching band. The approaching band! Holy crap I was laying right in their path. I see a shadow come over me, and look up. Niall Horan is standing right above me, looking worried. All the girls close enough are grabbing and pulling at him. He reaches for my hand to help pull me up. Oh my gosh! This is not happening. I try and stay calm and accept his hand. He pulls both my elbows up, helping me get my feet back from under the fans. I smile, not knowing what to do, as he just keeps his hands on me. He continues to talk to me, but I can't hear a word. I am staring at him not saying a word! Was this a dream?! "Niall!" I finally say, as my head gets lighter and lighter. The last thing I think about, before hitting the ground again, is the flawless man that was standing so close to me.Complete![Let's Play Pretend [Niall Horan AU]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/257507567-256-k567163.jpg)
Let's Play Pretend [Niall Horan AU]
The world finds odd ways to put people together. For them, it was PR. ~ She walked along the shore, the humid air, feeling much colder next to the beach. She shut her eyes and stood there, letting the sound of crashing waves overtake every single thought in her minds, ironically, silencing the bustling thoughts. She felt peaceful. He noticed a girl walking just a few feet ahead of him. At first, his thought was that it could be her but it didn't seem that way. The closer he went the more different the person looked. He let out a sigh of lost conviction. He felt hopeless. His footing must've been horrible as he slipped over a rock and tumbled forward, a little gasp of shock leaving his lips. The unexpected rustling behind her, made her face the intrusion. Noticing the man on his knees, she went over to him, lending a helping hand. He noticed a very familiar ring covered hand stick out towards him. He didn't think much of it as he held it to stand up. Why did it feel like home? ~Complete
