It's Like Suicide (But You Can't See the Ropes)

AU - the boys are troubled teens:

Liam can't leave his past behind
Zayn can't get his dad to realise it's HIS life, not his dad's
Niall's mum has a horrid addiction
Harry's a social outcast, not helped by the fact he's gay
Louis has to hide the fact he is gay because his family are deeply Christian
