They've known each other since they were eleven, inseparable best friends for as long as they can remember, but long distance and spotty behavior causes them to lose touch after graduation. When Maddie and Harry run into each other again ten years later, what happens when feelings that were pushed away begin to resurface?

EXCERPT:

"How about this..." He suddenly gets an idea, a bold one, but he can't help but share it. "If neither of us are married by thirty, let's get married."

Obviously, she'll be married by thirty. She's perfect, and any man who's as dense as a rock could see it. Surely, someone will sweep her off her feet and put a ring on her finger in the next twelve years, it's inevitable with the type of person she is. Deep down he wants it to be him, but he wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship he's had his entire life.

Maddie finds herself smiling at Harry's idea, she loves it. It won't happen though, because some girl in the future is bound to fall in love with Harry and his kind heart, and he'll be head over heels for her too. It's inevitable that someone will fall in love with his dimpled smile and caring soul, and even though Maddie already has, she wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship she's had her entire life.

The age of thirty is twelve years away for them, it's too obvious that nothing will come from this harmless bet.

"Deal."

"Really?" Harry raises his eyebrows, amused at her response.

"Really."

They shake hands just as the song comes to an end and another one begins. But Harry doesn't let go of Lainey's hand, instead he catches her off guard by spinning her under his arm and dipping her.

"You better not fall in love then."

"There's a boy, lost his way, looking for someone to play There's a girl in the window tears rolling down her face We're only lost children, trying to find a friend Trying to find our way back home We don't know where to go, so I'll just get lost with you We'll never fall apart, cause we fit together right, we fit together right These dark clouds over me, rain down and roll away We'll never fall apart, cause we fit together like, two pieces of a broken heart" ♥ ; Harry Styles is an eighteen year old fighter, notorious for his violent and threatening behavior. His rough past has led him to grow up, cold and hardened with only a limited amount of people he can refer to as 'friends'. He's seen as a teenage dirtbag, with his couldn't care less attitude and almost countless tattoos, who just leads his badass crew and pick on targets; some even question if he is capable of having a heart. ♡ ; Selena Gomez is a seventeen year old "innocent goody two shoes" who's lived a weathly life, always showered with the riches of her family. Selena's beautiful, talented, intelligent and desirable by many people. Everything's perfect, right? Wrong.

He wants her and Harry Styles always gets what he wants, or else. Selena doesn't give a damn about it and she's the first person to ever stand up to him.

Fix You ✧ ((Harry Styles/Selena Gomez)) by hipstaprincess
37 parts Complete
"Please, go out with me?" "No." "Why not?" "I'm bad for you." "I love you and I don't care if you're involved with shit. I am in love with you. I'm not giving up on you and I will try to fix you." Harry Styles is the epitome of the perfect student. He has good grades, a kind personality, and supportive friends, Niall, Louis, Liam, and Zayn. His mum is the principal of Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School so he's well-taken care of in and outside of home and always nurtured with love. He's his mum's precious baby, especially since his older sister Gemma moved out for University. His mother can't bear the sight of Harry broken or even just feeling sad so she does her best to protect him and steer him away from any source of pain. Selena Gomez is quite the opposite. Losing her parents in the fifth grade wasn't an easy ordeal for her; ever since then, she hasn't been the same happy child her parents wished her to be. She lives with her two older brothers, Tyler and Derek, their best friend Dylan, Tyler's girlfriend, Crystal, and Crystal's best friend, Holland--all sharing the mutual fact that their parents were killed by the same man. After years of a deep hunt, tensions of the past are finally resolved, but Selena isn't. During these years, she's grown cold and ignorant, often shutting herself out to everyone and relying on her only escape from the world: art. Her apperance grew darker and her actions, though are for good intentions, appear as crimes. She's been misjudged and always cast in a bad light, so no one really knows her except for her family. Everyone's advised to stay away from the dark beauty who basically spells out trouble. But what if the most sheltered boy in town is truly, madly, deeply, in love with the most dangerous girl? Love is not finding someone perfect; it's seeing someone imperfect perfectly.

50 parts Complete Mature
Harry never expected his first year at university to be anything more than books, nerves, and awkward small talk. But when he's introduced to Louis, a fiercely ambitious art student with a complicated past, his carefully constructed plans unravel fast. As they're thrown together by shared friends, unexpected late-night conversations, and their own undeniable chemistry, Harry finds himself drawn to Louis in a way that terrifies and thrills him. With a mysterious, controlling stepfather casting shadows over Louis's life and Harry's own insecurities getting in the way, the two must navigate the twists and turns of friendship, love, and loyalty in a whirlwind world of self-discovery. Will they find the courage to be honest with each other-and themselves-or will they lose everything in their attempt to be just friends? ~~~ OR: Harry's first year at college turns out to be a lot messier than he thought, what with Niall as a flatmate, Louis, who suddenly becomes the subject of his dreams and a bad relationship he's fleeing from- Harry hardly has time to breathe. Follow along as Harry inevitably falls for a certain blue-eyed fellow. ~~~ AND: Because sex sells- Louis gripped him tight and Harry leaned forward, needing to kiss him again. They kissed softly as Louis slowly lifted Harry's drenched T-shirt up and off him, treating him like the most fragile creature to walk this earth. He moved on to kissing Harry's neck, both their breathing quickening as Louis helped him pull his T-shirt off too. Harry's hand trailed down Louis' arm, slowly leaning both of them back so they were lying on the bed, cold chests pressed against each other for warmth. ~~~ Perfect fic for you if you're looking for a heart-gripping slow-burn, with ridiculous amounts of humour. Buckle up and dive in!!!
