I have decided to stop putting it off and listen to my 

little sister. She thinks I am a great writer (Laughing 

inside of my head. So. Not. True) and has been 

pushing me to write a One Direction fan fiction. I 

like reading fanfictions, more than I like writing 

them, if only cause I have not written any great

material since sophomore year. But...I am willing

to give it a shot. Here is my sneak peak of my fan 

fiction, which will be premiering on your local 

Watpad soon. (Screen flashes and cuts to rolling 

film. Narration fills the speakers.)

The Leaves Can Float as Gently as They are Stroked:

A One Direction Fan fiction:

Introduction: Othella Parker is just about as average as one can be, but

in her complicated mind, average is not just a word. It is a question

waiting to be answered. Confusing, am I right? What “Otillie” struggles

with is a case of anxiety disorder, and she has been struggling with it for

years. The major problem was that nobody noticed it in her, until she was

fourteen years of age. So…she may look like every other girl in the

outside, but in the inside, there is a pain that no one can describe to her,

and no one seems to understand. Just as she is on the verge of turning in

her faith for a completely depressed lifestyle, her older sister, Stella,

introduces her to the music of the ever-so famous and adorable bunch of

five misfits, who go by the name of One Direction. While, internally, the

struggles for Otillie may be fighting against the effects of her disorder,

on the outside, she must face the struggles of being a senior in high

school, of saying goodbye and finally allowing herself to come into her

own. You may be wondering as to how One Direction enters this story.

Well…Let us just say that Otillie becomes obsessed with meeting up with

the boys, and to uncover who they really are. Perhaps, she thinks that in

uncovering the people behind the music, she can uncover something about

who she truly is. Written in script form, “Leaves” is a story about what it

means to start again and all the difficulties attached to that process

, including creating a new mindset and learning to judge yourself, instead

of hearing the judgment of others. I hope that this story does not just

touch the stories of my fellow fan girls. I hope that this story can touch

everyone, because this story is not simply the story of a character. It is

the story of everyone, who has ever had to struggle with something like

this, no matter if it has a scientific name or not. <3
