Chapter 2
The concert was amazing.
And I saw Niall making eye contact with me sometimes throughout the show. I had never known Niall to be like that. But what if he was like me? My favorite person ever could be just like me.
And I have his number. I don't know what to do I want to talk to him so badly, but what if I annoy him. What if he's busy. This would mean the world to me though.
If I don't do it now I will never have the courage too.
So I did.
"Hey, Niall its me Zach." I texted him.
I got a reply about a minute or so later obviously showing he wasnt busy.
"Hey man. How you doin?" He said back.
"Oh nothing much, you? Your show was amazing today by the way. The best experience of my life."
"We'll my great experience was meeting you today. You're so sweet and your story really spoke to me. I know how it is to be bullied for being gay."
I had to pause. Did Niall just admit that he was gay to me? Something that no other fan knew about him. Something that connected us two and we could really understand each other. If he could tell me this, I could tell him anything.
"Wow Niall. I don't know what to say. But knowing that you can get through the hate will help me get through it. You're a really amazing person."
"God stop it Zach. Good thing you can't see my face because that'd be embarrassing. Hey. We should come play some football in the park tomorrow? Want to meet at 1?"
"Sure that would be really fun."
I don't know what to think about first. The fact that Niall admitted to me he was gay or the fact that since he is gay, him asking for us to hang out in the park was almost like a date.
Thinking about either one of these things made my heart race. I've never felt this way before. My stomach had butterflies every time I heard his name. My heart was beating out of my chest whenever we would talk. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I loved him. I didn't love him for Niall from One Direction. I loved him for his personality and everything he had to offer.
And the fact he's just like me.
