** Disclaimer **

Every word and every character present in this book is of my own creation, and stealing it will be wrong. Yep.

Except the One Direction boys. They are not mine. (I wish) I am only using their names and physical appearance, anything else in this story is NOT in any way affliated with the real One Direction.

I am in no way implying that the real Zayn Malik and Harry Styles are gay. This is just pure fiction, straight from my weird mind.

This book will contain lots of swearing, some abuse and boyxboy material of course. And a few (okay a bit more than few) cliche moments.

Not comfortable? No one's forcing you to read.

This was my first fanfiction so there will be lots of grammar errors, some choppy grammar (as I was just learning to write for an audience) and plot holes bc this is unedited as well. You have been warned. Now enjoy! ♡]

❝Ever notice that the people who hurt you the most are the ones you tend to love more?❞

His life is not that bad. It can be better, but he is content with the few good things in his life.

And it doesn't help that the shy, hipster Harry Styles has a not-so-little crush on the person who is his supposed bully/enemy.

***

He had blurred the lines between real and pretend for himself, just for the sake of the world. He has forgotten what real happiness is, as a sacrifice.

He feels like he needs to vent out his frustration and the curly haired boy has unknowingly been his target for years.

Zayn Malik is your handsome bad boy jock with his own hidden secrets.

When the tragedy called life strikes, it becomes all to much for Harry.

Will someone who he least expected end up saving him?

And will someone who Zayn never noticed before end up unearthing the real side of him and save him from himself?
