If someone had told Harry three years ago that he’d be living a life of excess—consumption, alcohol, sex, and music with his best mates (Niall and Zayn)—he probably wouldn’t have believed them.

But here he was.

Ghostwaves was born four years ago, a band mixing alternative rock, trip-hop, hip-hop influences, and pop-rock chaos. What started as grimy bar gigs in questionable corners of London turned into something much bigger. One song broke through, went viral locally, and somehow ended up on the Billboard Top 200. From there, their manager Jeff Azoff carved them a career none of them could’ve imagined.

Fans. Tours. Two studio albums. Awards in the UK. And now—America. A slow invasion, promo by promo, city by city. Their sudden rise felt unstoppable, almost reckless.

And reckless was exactly what Harry had become. Shirtless on stage, sweat and tattoos under the lights, his voice a weapon, his guitar an extension of his body. Nights blurred into parties, beds he didn’t remember, bottles he didn’t finish. The lifestyle suited him—or at least that’s what he told himself.

The band wasn’t without its scandals, either. Josh, their original drummer, had been kicked out after a fan accused him of assault. It could’ve destroyed them. Instead, it led them to her.

She joined a year ago—talented, sharp, magnetic. The guys had been skeptical at first, not sure if anyone could fill the role. But she didn’t just fill it—she redefined it. She belonged.

She loved the chaos too, sure, but she carried herself differently. More grounded. More controlled. And that was something Harry hated to admit he craved.

Because while he drowned himself in the noise—drugs, sex, and the panic attacks he tried to laugh off—she was the only thing keeping him tethered.

She told him to get therapy. He rolled his eyes, smirked, gave her the cocky grin everyone expected.

But secretly, she was already the therapy he needed.
