Tongue Tied Over Three Words (Niam Horayne and Larry Stylinson Fanfic)

Lies and interviews

'Now let's put our hands together for the one and only Liam Payne.' The host said. There was a lot of clapping and cheering and I walked out on stage. I looked out at the crowd and smiled and waved...just like the penguin in Madagascar 1. Hehe. I sat down on a small blue leather sofa as the claps and cheering died down. "Hello there, Liam." The host smiled. 

"Hi." I smiled back.  

"So how are you?"  

"I'm good thanks how are you?" I was just being very polite. I needed to be the Liam people think I am.  

"Awe." The lady smiled out at the crowd and jerked her thumb to point at me. "Isn't he so nice?" There was another session of claps. She turned back around to me. "I'm great thank you, Liam. Now, I know your here today to talk about what had happened earlier this week. I've seen all the news and watched the video-" I let out a shudder at the mention of that-" and I know mostly everything that's happened and I want you to fill in the gaps. Niall is in the hospital, am I right?" I nodded. "Wait...this might get confusing so I want you to tell me everything that's happened this week starting from the video of Niall breaking up with Lucy." Great. This means I have to lie more. 

"Well. We were playing Truth or Dare, and Louis had dared Niall to find Lucy and tell her that he wants to break up with her because he loved me. So of course he did. But somehow the paparazzi found him and recorded everything. Niall was really upset about that and ran back to the house. Lou and Haz kept annoying him about it and Niall went out to get away from things. And as you have guessed, he went to the pub. A few hours later, me and the others got worried 'cause we didn't know where he was. He wasn't answering the phone or anything so we went out looking for him. I checked the pub on my way back and found him there. But he was getting beaten up. I texted the others to come over and help out. While waiting, I tried to stop the fight. Apparently, the men were beating him up because they thought he was someone else. And you can tell the rest from the video. 

Yesterday, I was released from hospital and Niall wasn't. He had slipped into a coma on the first day. This was because he had a nasty head trauma. Doctors say he should be out within 4 weeks. If he isn't then he might never wake up." I knew I had started crying, but now that I was, I can't stop. "So there you have it." I finished. The interviewer sat there with wide eyes. 

"I'm sorry." She said. "We know he'll wake up. Everyone knows that he is a fighter. He's too strong to break down." She smiled and put a hand on my knee. I mouthed a thank you before she started talking again. "Well folks, that's all we have time for today. I'll see you next time on 'This morning'." I got up and left for back stage. I saw Simon there. 

"That's my boy. You've done well. Nice effects with the tears." He smiled. 

"They were meant to be there." I whispered and walked past him and to the car that Paul was waiting in. He looked at me with sympathy. He knew I didn't want to talk anyway so he started driving back to the house. When we got there I jumped out the car and dived into the house. I knew the boys had seen the interview and I just couldn't handle their faces. I tried to run straight up to my room but, they caught me. Damn it. I'm fudged.  

"Liam." Zayn whispered. I turn around and saw them. Louis was crying and Harry was trying to comfort him. Zayn was standing in front on them. Mainly in a protective way. "H-how could you."  

"I-I'm s-sorry." I said sincerely.  

"Louis is sobbing his eyes out because he thinks that the world thinks he put Niall into a coma. He's broken. He thinks everyone hates him because of it." Zayns voice rose very loudly. "Just tell us why you did it? Why did you choose him?"  

"I...Simon...told me to. He said that if I didn't, everything's going to tear apart because of me. And I couldn't have that. I can't lose you lot. Think of Niall, he's in the middle of all of this. I'm the one who started all this I know. And I'm sorry for making Lou pay. But I am going to sort this shit out. Please just trust me." I looked at Louis and he wasn't crying anymore. Instead he looked confused.
