Thank you all SO SO much for reading this book!! Started it so long ago and honestly just forgot about it. I'd always wanted to write a story just never did! This Injury I have kept me at home so I was like "might as well continue." I honestly didn't even think anyone would read it so I really appreciate you all!
I know the Fanfic 1D era was long ago, but occasionally I'd still read a few throughout the years. It literally made my day when you all would vote and comment so I cannot thank you enough! I joined when I was 12 and am now 22! 10 YEARS!!!
Also I went like full dive into this! Since I had so much time I got to map out all of this so I'm going to include some info like dates of birth and a timeline. I had to do so much thinking because it was set in the present so of course their birth years changed. Usually when I read I like knowing things like that but I know not everybody does lol!
When I tell you all that I DID RESEARCH! I had so many tabs open constantly. From looking up flight times, to time differences, I'd open my maps app see how far things were from a said location, I placed Zayn properly by the campus and Liam in the rich neighborhood of London.
I looked up so many restaurants, faked some Insta stories, tried editing and photoshopping pictures! Keep in mind I'm not a big photoshop person....
For the Vegas chapters though I just knew things down there. I've gone multiple times so it was all from the heart 😂 For the wedding chapters I looked at tons of scripts from the officiant and what the couple would say, the vows, timeline, and honeymoon itineraries!
When I work on anything I always try and break it down and plan it properly so I do hope you all didn't get confused on somethings. If you did let me know!!! It'll drive me insane😂😂 I go back and read chapters and I'm like "OH NO."
Buuuuut anyways heres the dates and timeline!
