Chapter Text

Hi,

If you're reading this, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to read my story. When I started writing this story a few years ago, it was a great escape from some very stressful things going on in my life at the time. I started posting it before I was really ready because I was so excited to share it with people and in the end I wasn't as happy as I wanted to be with the outcome. 

I had always envisioned this story to be a one shot and to include visuals of some of the social media interactions Zayn and Liam shared. At the end of the day, I wasn't in love with the story like I was when I started and so I started again. 

I've gone through, made some changes, and made it the one shot I always wanted it to be. Complete with a title that's more fitting to the story and the visuals I've been wanting. However, I know there were a number of people who enjoyed this story and it's those people I'm writing to now because I'm so glad this simple story was able to give others a little bit of the happiness it gave me. I know I would be upset if a story I connected to and enjoyed suddenly disappeared so I'm offering the PDF of Heart's A Mess in it's original, complete form here. 

And for anyone who would like to read the (slightly) reworked version called Hearts Catch Fire, you can do that here.

A lot of things have changed since I first posted this story, but one thing that hasn't is the smile and joy I got every time I read a comment from you guys.

Thanks for everything! 

Lauren
