Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 5

"Hey Niall, we have an interview next Monday. You up for it?" Liam asked, sitting down beside me where I lazily sat and watched reruns of Family Guy. 

"I guess so" I shrugged. The other boys were too busy preparing our food and drinks. We were planning on having a pig-out-all-you-can-and-watch-every-funny-movie Friday night in Harry and Louis' flat and that's what we're doing now.

Suddenly, I felt Liam's hand on my shoulder and I turned to face him too quickly that I actually heard my neck snapping.

"Sorry" Liam said sheepishly as he withdrew his arm.

"Its okay" I blushed "I'm just not used to people touching me except for my family and my Seanie"

"You never told us that much about Sean before. All you said was that he was the only person who was there for you when no one ever was."

"That's because that's who he is" I chuckled.

"You often stay quiet or leave when we start talking about our lives before One Direction, why is that?" Liam asked with concern.

I gulped and looked at the DVDs lying on the floor instead. I can't believe I never told them about my horrible past. Maybe I forgot them back then or maybe I was embarrassed but now it's still fresh in my mind.

"I was bullied. A lot" I finally admitted. 

"Me too" Liam smiled sadly.

"How'd you cope with them?" I asked, turning my body a bit so I can fully face him. 

"Well, I started learning boxing and then eventually I became good in sports and no one bullied me anymore afterwards" Liam smiled.

"I wish I did that, but even if I did, they're just gonna make fun of me and give me an even harder time on the field or something" I sighed but then quickly plastered a smile on, "but that was before. Let's make the past stay where it is"

Liam was about to say something when Zayn sat down between us, clearly oblivious to the fact that we were having a conversation. I quickly forgave him though because he was holding a huge bowl of nachos which I quickly grabbed from him.

"Thanks for the help Zayn" Harry scoffed as he brought in a huge tray filled with all sorts of snacks like crisps, sandwiches and cute cupcakes.

"I like the cupcakes. They look good" I smiled.

Harry blushed a bit and smiled. "Thanks, I made them"

Louis came a minute later, carrying this type of container you store your drinks in. "Thanks a lot Zayn" Louis rolled his eyes.

"Hey! I carried the nachos!" Zayn said in defense and Louis and Harry just rolled their eyes at the same time.

"So what movie do you guys want to watch?" Liam asked as he crouched down and picked up a couple of DVDs on the floor.

"White chicks!" Harry said out loud from where he was sitting on the floor in front of my legs. "That movie is hilarious!"

"Yeah and Nialler still hasn't watched it" Zayn grinned.

"How'd you know?" I asked.

"You told me before plus they released the movie during XFactor which I doubt you remember" Zayn said and I blushed.

"Right"

Liam pressed the disc into the DVD player and after he was sure it was working, he stood up again. I thought he was gonna sit back down where he was previously seated, which was beside Zayn but nope.

Instead, he told Zayn to move to the right and took a seat beside me. I blushed but thankfully, Louis stood up and turned off the lights. 

I was so tense when the movie started that Liam and Zayn actually noticed.
