summary: Life is at a turning point for Niall- she's graduating, getting ready to start university, and she feels like she's got the world in the palm of her hand. She's ready to move on- from the drama of her parent's divorce, especially- and begin this new stage of her life with her Zayn and their three best mates by her side.She doesn't expect the curveball life throws at her, and instead of spending the summer with her boyfriend and her friends, she ends up on a red-eye flight back to Ireland. It's hard enough being away from Zayn and the others, but when coupled with the reason for her leaving in the first place, the trip starts to drain her of her energy. She returns completely drained and waiting for the other shoe to drop. When it does, Zayn, along with their friends, are there to help her pick up the pieces of her now shattered world.

author's note: HALLELUJAH I made it through! I've never written a fic this BIG before and there were lots of points where I thought I wasn't going to make it but thanks to the ever-lovely
101itaa and her amazing cheerleading and coaching and beta-ing and basically being everything I needed to get this done, I managed to make it. Big thanks to my artist,
tiffanykuo801 for some amazing watercolor paintings!
