   Summary

   Harry Styles has rarely seen these silver lined clouds that everyone promises him.
   He's never had white picket fences, and his smile has never quite been true. Life for Harry Styles has always been hard. He knows how to cope... or he does a good job... he thinks.

   Aka: 18 year-old Harry is still ballancing a mix of love and hate for his father, and he really needs to make up his mind. Maybe 21-year-old Barrista Louis Tomlinson can anchor him into place, maybe Harry can find a little silver-lining-sunshine on his rainy days.
