They say, "you can't cry over spilled milk." Though this saying has proved painfully true for Liam, he's very much paying for all which was done in the past. Growing up as a teenager has never been an easy task, what makes matters worse is that if the past is haunting you, your life would be pure hell.
Liam James Payne's life was perfect, he had 4 best friends and with them were seen as "A-listers" in East High. But his world comes crashing down when a mistake from the past comes back to haunt him. Being the selfless person that he is, he wouldn't let anything harm the ones he loves or impose on his best friends and decides to take the whole burden on his shoulders, suffering the consequences.
Zayn Jawaad Malik, has always seen himself as the "protector" of the group. When he notices that something is amiss with Liam, he goes through all means to help him and along the way he can't comprehend why he feels so compelled to not let Liam suffer in the tiniest proportion.
What happens when an unlikely hero emerges and rescues Liam from all the pain and suffering? Will sparks fly between the two?
