Liam's P.O.V
Zayn did it, he went out on a date with me. Now I have to clean up my act. I pull into the parking lot of a big radio station company. I have an interview and what more perfect way to come out. I adjust my collar of my stupid suit. I swear when this is over I'm just wearing jeans and shorts, I don't give a damn anymore.
I walk in and immediately there are gasps. Its normal so I make my way to the front desk. Before I can even open my mouth the lady directs me to a room with two people inside, one working the radio and the other is the interviewer.
"And he's here! The one and only Liam Payne, let's get this interview started!" The overenthusiastic man shouts into his microphone. The red light flashes signaling that I am on air in my little box. I take the microphone and sigh.
"Okay so question one, at your party, who was that lovely lady you were lip locked with?" He said his voice egging on annoying me.
"A beard" I say simply grinning as the man drops his microphone a prominent gasp escapes his lips.
"That's quite a funny joke Mr. Payne but can you please answer the question" the man says shakily.
This angers me, why would it be a joke? Im gay how hard is it for them to understand this.
"I already said it she's a beard, I'm sorry all you ladies listening out there but I play for the other team" I say grinning even more. Coming out is turning out to be a lot easier than I thought. I was worried about hate but really... I don't give a shit. I need to be there for Zayn and help him deal with hate, I'm clearly fine.
"So you're gay then?" The man asks sighing.
"Um I take offense to that rude as fuck sigh but yes I'm gay, wanna see my boyfriend I have a lovely picture of him actually" I pull out my phone and turn it on I show themy screen savor of Zayn that Louis sent me. I love the picture so much, it just makes me happy that I have that effect on him, I can make him smile and giggle like he does. It just makes my heart flutter a bit.
"Oh yes he is very nice" the man awkwardly says coughing. With that I leave, this man wanted to know about the girl and all I have is one answer she is a slut and a beard that came onto me. I start my car ignoring the flash of paparazzi and drive away.
Once I enter my penthouse I am created with a big hug. Linda smiles and hugs me before pulling away and doing a little dance.
"I'm so proud! You did what I told you to do!" Linda cheers pulling me to the kitchen to reveal lots of dessert.
"I did, and honestly it feels great" I tell her grabbing a piece of chocolate Oreo pie.
"What made you do it? I know for a fact that it wasn't because of me. You never do anything I say" she scoffs making me laugh.
"Zayn actually. I really like him. We went on this date and just... Linda I swear he is the most adorable, confusing and heartbroken person I have ever met and I don't know what about that draws me in but I just want to cuddle him all the time and be there for him all the time" I sigh munching down on my pie moaning at its goodness.
"I know but...have you thought about helping him?" She asks taking some pie for herself.
"Helping him?" I question.
"Yes son, I know a damaged person when I see them and he might as well dissolve into tiny pieces. Zayn is such a lovely human being but he's hurting. I saw the cuts and his rips and arms and everything hun and its not a pretty sight I worry for his safety really. " she admits. I nod.
"I know and trust me I am I'm just trying my best not to rush him, because then he will think he's just my pity case when really I love him..." I admit as well.
"Have him come to dinner tonight I will prepare a healthy dinner just for him" she announces. I smile and nod.
"Sounds amazing I will, but first this pie is awaiting me and then a nap, I think I need one before I get bombarded by the paps" I say. Linda nods in agreement.
"Okay sounds great, then i better be of to the store to get the things I need, see you Liam" she hugs me tightly and I hug back then returning to my pie as the door closes behind me.
