Stephanie is a normal 17 year old, like any other teenager. She’s not popular but has a genuine amount of friends. She has people she can trust. But there is one thing about her life that is not normal, that she is constantly being criticized, humiliated, insulted, even by her friends. No one notices how broken she is by all the rude comments she gets. She is way too much insecure and has been forever underestimating herself. She just laughs over everything, just to ignore it in front of everyone but when she is alone, no one knows what happens with her. "The happiest people are the most broken." She has been hiding all the cuts, tears, suicide attempts from everyone. Until Harry Styles enters and her life takes major turn. No one noticed how damaged she was but he did. But are the cuts going to be there forever? *The story contains self harm, bullying, drug use, eating disorders.*
As a thirty two year old fan of Harry Styles, Cassie is used to the eye rolls and groans whenever she mentions his name. What they don't know is that this man has saved her life. When she's drowning in her own mind, it's his voice that brings her back to the surface.
After sending a letter that she almost immediately regrets, Cassie assumes it's ended up in the wrong hands but when she forms an unlikely friendship with a stranger, Cassie's life starts to change.
Time after time she is reminded of what the people closest to her, think of her. If only there was someone who could help her realise her true self-worth.
A love story of a different kind.

Excerpt:
"I didn't mean it! Please believe me. Please don't leave" I plead with everything in me, she can't fucking leave, not like this. Still with my hands on her shoulders while standing behind her, I feel them slump as she sighs. Slowly she starts to turn towards me, all the while looking down at the floor with her hair hanging down around her face so that I can't see it. "Please, stay" I whisper, squeezing her shoulders softly. "Please."
