.:Chapter Twelve:.

"You – you what?!" I exclaim, practically screaming.

Niall's face turns pale and he looks down at the ground, shuffling his feet nervously. He gulps and sighs, slowly looking back up at me and nodding with fear flashing in his eyes. My mouth drops open and I don't seem to register anything at the moment.

This whole time, Niall liked Danielle?! It was never Liam?!

"I, I thought it was Liam this entire time...," I admit sheepishly, looking down at the ground.

Niall snorts, "I wish it would have been Liam. But no, it was his fucking girlfriend. Zayn knows... you and him are the only ones who know. I was shaking and I was so fucking scared Haz, I thought he was going to go to tell Liam right away because they're best friends. I was against the corner of the wall and shaking, I thought my life was going to end.

"Zayn seemed so confused and told me that there had to be a way that we could fix this. I was so shocked and I asked if he was going to tell Liam and Zayn's eyes filled with pity and he hugged me. I ended up crying on his shoulder and he told me he'll find a way to fix this. Later that night he told me what his plan was..."

"So now . . . you like him?" I ask, trying to catch up here.

"Yes."

"And, you don't like Danielle anymore?" I ask and raise my eyebrows.

"The feelings are practically all gone."

"But you like Zayn now? Like in the more-than-a-friend kind of sense?" I ask once more just to clear everything up.

"Yeah..."

"So do you plan on telling the poor guy any time soon or are you just going to hide it and hope for something to come out of it when you're not doing anything to help the cause?" I ask, trying to give him a hint.

You mean like you are, Styles?

"No I can't tell him," Niall exclaims. "I'm supposed to get over it slowly but that way I'm already over Danielle. That was the deal right from the very beginning – if I try to do something about it I'll just end up screwing it all up. Plus that would be too many gay guys for management. Do you know how much they would flip their shit?"

"Well tough cookies for them," I say and frown. "They can't stop us from being ourselves. If you and Zayn want to be together – go ahead! If I love Louis and pine after him for who knows how long – I'll do it! They can't stop us from falling for someone. It's an injustice!"

"Whatever you say Haz," Niall says and laughs.

"You're just mean," I say and pout.

"But you still love me so it's all good," Niall says and smirks. "Speaking of love – shouldn't you get back inside to go cuddle with your Boo Bear?"

"And shouldn't you get back inside to be with Z?" I say and smirk right back at him.

Niall blushes but sighs and nods. "Yeah, I guess we're done our conversation anyways. So now you know why it was such a big deal of who I liked and why I had so much trouble telling you. I wanted to tell you but it was just very hard for me."

"Niall it's fine seriously," I say and shrug, smiling softly. "Let's head back inside now, yeah?"

Niall nods and I follow him back inside, getting ready to be faced by the man who's always super curious and who has an amazing ass – Louis Tomlinson.
