HARRY'S P.O.V

Today is the day me and Niall leave my family home to go to the Tomlinson's house. Today is also the day I am going to tell Niall my secret as i forgot to tell him yesterday so I'm going to tell him while we are in the car.

I trust Niall. I class him as my bestfriend, we are always together. Our closeness has raised suspicion within our fanbase. They all assume that being close friends means we are dating, which is far from the truth. We love each other, but not in the way a minority of our fans think...I guess it's kind of cute how they are always making videos of me protecting Niall romantically and vice versa. But sometimes a fan or two will take it to extremes and make everyone feel bad by sending death threats to other fans who do not think we are romantically in touch...that's rare but it happens.

"H, When are we leaving?", Niall shouts from the spare room he slept in last night.

"Soon Ni, try be quick? We have to be there before tea time and it's after 3pm", I reply with a soft but stern tone.

Niall didn't take long after that. We both went out to the car and placed out luggage and back packs into the trunk then climbed in.

"A little hour or so drive with my main, this should be fun", Niall states honestly as he turned the radio on.

"It sure will be- Ni i have to erm-like tell you something- Don't be mad please?", I spoke, instantly regretting the words I let leave my mouth.

"Harry, You're scaring my...please just spill already?", Niall replies with his voice thick with fear.

"I'm sorry-iamgay", I reply my voice becoming quieter near the end of my sentence.

NIALL'S P.O.V

"I'm sorry-Iamgay" Harry spoke. His last words were almost unrecognisable but I heard.

"Is that it?", I reply in a calm and unsurprised tone.

"Yeah...Why do you sound as though it doesn't matter?", Harry replied.

Harry sounded surprised and that break my heart. Does he think being gay in unacceptable? or is it me he thinks won't accept him? I have had my suspicions of him being gay but I didn't want to ask him, I wanted him to come out willingly to me so I didn't push the topic. I don't know whether to be proud or hurt that he sounded so surprised with my reply.

"Seriously Harry? Of course I sound as though it doesn't matter...that's because it doesn't. Telling me your sexual preference doesn't change the person you have been all these years, your personality is the same, your the same person-just more open about who you are which is awesome. who knows?", I reply.

Although I am kind of mad at him for asking why I sound as though it didn't matter but I know it wasn't personal. I know Harry wouldn't mean it in a hurtful way, he was probably just overwhelmed.

"I have only told you, my sister and my mum. I am planning to tell the boys soon but I don't know how to but I figured you should know before anyone because you're my best friend", Harry states.

HARRY'S P.O.V

The drive to Louis' wasn't as bad as my mind pictured it to be last night. I thought it would have went wrong and Niall would have refused to ride with me. But he didn't and I'm thankful he stayed and accepted me for who I am.

When me and Niall pulled up to Louis' house everyone else was already here. Liam was just getting out his car as we drove up the long drive way. Me,Liam and Niall all walked up to the house together. It didn't take long for someone to answer, or should I say 3vfemales who looked exactly like Louis. Louis' sisters let us in and told us to wait in the living room while they go tell Lou we were here.

Louis and Zayn were upstairs a good 20 minutes before they came down to say 'hi'. i wonder what they were talking about...

ZAYN'S P.O.V

Louis came out to me just before the other boys came. I'm shocked but I'm so proud of him, it must be hard on him as he has only told his sister and me. He told me he wanted so bad to tell the other boys but he is scared of how they will react so I told him to do it today, while they are eating tea. It will be easier on him as he will have me and Lottie for support even if the rest of the family and the boys don't accept him.

Tea time is soon and we are all sitting at the dinning table, i gave Louis a nudge and a supportive nod as if to say 'now is your time'. He must have took my advice because the next time he talks he says 'guys I have something to say'.

LOUIS' P.O.V

"Guys, I have something to say", I speak up and everyone's eyes land on me.

Why am i doing this to myself? My legs are uncontrollably shaking and my palms are sweating. I think Zayn realised I was nervous because he placed his hand on my leg and squeezed lightly as if he was giving me a signal to start. I took it as a sign.

"I'm just going to lay this out there and if you don't agree or like it then I totally understand", I took a deep breath and sighed.

"I'm gay", I spoke up.
