#13 He has a huge secret he only trust you with

Louis: Shock ran through you, after Louis admitted a secret you never expected to hear. Not in a million years. "But-but how? You-you were married before? Married? As in a wife? As in... How?" Louis had no plans to explain the secret further than admitting it to you, and so he had no idea how to reply to any questions now. He should have prepared for that, but had not thought that far ahead. "I just wanted you to know," he said, swallowing hard, "You deserve to know. I never tell anyone that. It didn't last long at all." You still could not wrap your mind around it, "How? When did this happen? Everyone knows everything about you. How have you hidden..." He cut you off, now realizing you could keep going on and on forever with questions; of course you'd have a million. "[Y/N], I know it's hard to believe. It did happen though. I don't know how no one found out, but they didn't." You were frozen, unable to speak at all. "I can explain more to you later, I promise. Just please never tell anyone." You were so stunned, but could at least shake your head, "I won't."

Liam: "And my voice is fine, but not really. There's some issues, that's why it's been hurting after I sing. I'm not supposed to use it much for a while," Liam explained, after going to a routine check up, only to find out that his vocal chords were strained. "So what does that mean?" He looked around, as if someone else could possibly be in your home to hear his reply, before replying, "I don't think I'll be able to sing this tour. Or not for a while at least. A few weeks, maybe a month or so. Just enough time for it to heal, and not get any worse. If I want it to heal, I have to just..." "Lip sync?" He paused for a moment, and then nodded. You began to reply to his response right away, "Well if that's what will make it so you can sing forever, it's worth it." Liam saw it that way as well. Doing this for a while, to still be able to perform the rest of his life, it was worth it. He didn't want to, but he had no choice. It might be hard to conceal, but it would try his best to make it seem genuine. "I'm not going to let anyone know who does not have to. You're the only person I am trusting with this other than those who have to know. Can you keep it private?" "Of course I can. No one else needs to know. Before we know it, everything will be back to normal anyway, and this won't even matter."

Niall: "We said we would tell each other everything. Have no secrets between us, and I want to do that. This has nothing to do with you, or anything in my life now at all, but it's something that's bothered me since it happened. And if we're going to tell each other all our secrets, you should know this. And I hope you don't think differently after I do let you know." Niall took a deep breath after saying all of those words, and waited for your reply. That reply he was waiting for, it did not come right away. You just sat there, repeating his words in your mind, trying to understand what could possibly follow. You were clueless though. "What secret could you possibly have?" Niall took a second deep breath, and looked away from you, "I cheated on my last serious girlfriend. A lot. She never knew, or even suspected that I know of, and I never cheated on anyone else, just her. I hate that I did it. I don't know why I did. I was just not happy, and I was stupid. I was also young then. I probably shouldn't tell you this. It's probably really dumb to tell you, but I want to. I want you to know I'll tell you even everything. I don't want to keep things from you. Ever. I love you, and I want us to be honest, even if it's hard."

Harry: "I'm only trusting you with this, no one else. I don't want this getting out, and I know you're the one person I can tell and never worry about it after." Harry's voice was shaking, letting you truly know how nervous he was about letting out this secret he had kept for years. "Thank you for trusting me," you smiled softly, placing a hand on his arm. If it meant this much to him, and he was so nervous saying it, it meant that much more to you that he trusted you enough to let you know. "I promise to never let anyone else know whatever it is, It's between you and I, and that's it." "I know you won't, thank you," he smiled at you, before looking down at the ground, and finally revealing what it was he had kept for so long, "I-I.. I'm okay right now. I think I am. I just... I was..." "Harry," your voice was concerned now, "Just tell me, it's okay." "I was, I hid it well, really well. No one assumed or guessed. Not me..." "Harry," you repeated his name, and swallowed hard, "What is it?" "I got into drugs. I'm not sure if I was addicted truly, or just... I... I hid it so well. I don't know how. The boys didn't even know. None of them. I'm okay right now, but I want you to know. I want you to make sure I'm okay. I want you to be there, and know the truth." You were stunned into silence. This was not what you expected to hear. There was no signs. "I should have told you sooner, but I wanted to be okay when I did."

Zayn: "I'm only telling you this. You are the only person. No one else knows. Not a single person. So keep it that way, please." You nodded at Zayn's repeated request, and replied softly, "I promise, this is between us. What is it?" Zayn was quiet for a moment, as he gathered his thoughts. This would be the first time he said these words out loud, and that was scary for him. "I'm quitting the group." You thought you heard him wrong. "What?" "I... I can't take it anymore. This is just getting too much. I don't want to do it anymore. No one knows though. I should tell the boys, or someone else, but I haven't. I just know, I'm done, and they can't change my mind. So what's the point?." This was such a major thing to know, that no one else would ever even guess. "Are you sure? Have you really thought about it? Do you realize how big a deal that will be? I hope you do know that. This will not be some little thing you can just walk away from." He nodded his head, and sighed, "Yeah, I know. I don't know when I'll do it. I know I want to without a doubt, but I'm still not sure when the right time will be. So just keep it private for now, please." With a nod, you felt the nerves building up in you, that would not go away until this was all over, "I will."
