[Liam]

Waking  up from yesterdays accident definitely took its tole on my mental stability; If i was feeling like shit before, i am even more now. "Liam, dear?", my mom said sweetly knocking three times on the door. "Yeah?", i asked. "Your friend Zayn is here, isn't that sweet of him to come check on you?", my mom questioned.  She opened my room door to let the boy in. 

"Li, are you okay", a soft husky tone spoke out. "Yeah just a little banged up, nothing to bad though". "It doesn't look like nothing to bad, you were bleeding out love", Zayn said while rubbing my back in calming circle motions. "Well i can't see it like it is, now can i", i replied jokingly. Zayn wrestled me onto my bed being cautious about my head, he began kissing me all over and rubbing my body up and down. I played back and kissed him, glancing over his shoulder each time making sure the door remained shut, i wasn't sure if my mom knew about the touchy-feely kind of relationship Zayn and I had. Two knocks came from the door and Zayn quickly hopped off me and sat up positioning his clothes, i followed his lead. "Yeah mom?", i asked wondering what she wanted. "Sweet heart, we need to talk: About something serious", She said with a broken down choppy voice. A million thoughts raced through my head, did she know about Zayn and I? Has she found out i'm gay? God what could it be.. 

Zayn looked at me, concern written all his face. My heart was beating rapidly, nearly coming out of my chest. The door opened and my mom sat next to Zayn and grabbed my hands, placing them on hers. I was confused, i didn't want to be a burden to my mother; having a blind gay son. It was clearly horrible enough that i was blind, i had to be gay too? I was scared as to what my mother had yet to say. "I have been keeping something from you for a couple weeks now, I got an eviction notice a few days ago and I-I didn't know how to tell you, i didn't want you to worry", my mom said choked up on her tears, "I've tried my best to do all i can for us to live, I know it isn't the life you deserve, i'm so sorry sweety". She broke down, carrying my hands to her lips to kiss them as her tears fell to the bed sheet. I didn't know how to feel, i was sort of relieved she didn't ask me anything about Zayn and I, or the fact that i was gay. At the same time though, i was sad and dumb founded; i knew how much my mom worked and tried to make a living for us and now this. I could only imagine how she's feeling. 

Zayn tried to comfort my mom and tried to reassure her that everything was going to be fine.  "I don't mean to be nosy ma'am but how long do you have until.. you know?", Zayn asked sympathetically. She looked up at him, tear lines from her eyes down to the bottom of her cheeks, she replied, "3 days". Zayn gave her a sorry look and got up to hug her. "I don't want to be rude but i have to go or else my mom will be concerned". "No worries dear, let me walk you out", my mom stood up and wiped away any tears left and straightened out her apron. 

[Zayn]

I didn't know what to do, i didn't know what to say. I remember talking to Li's mom about it a couple days before, i know i said she could stay with us but i honestly wasn't sure if my mom would be cool with it; she always says how dull the house was without anyone but us. 

I opened the door to my house, walked in and set my bag on the counter hoping my mom would be in the kitchen. Fortunately, she was. "Hey m..mom", i stuttered. "Yes sweety, what's up?", she asked curiously. "My friend is, uh", i was having a difficult time spitting it out, "him and his mom aren't the the most financially stable people, and when i went over Mrs.Payne was crying because they're getting evicted in three days and.. and", my mom cut me off as i was trying to get my point across. She smiled at me and grabbed the phone. Curiously  i asked whom she was going to call because she didn't say anything about what i had or was trying to say. "Luckily son, i can read you very well, and yes i know what you were trying to tell me". "You do?",  i asked surprised. "Yes, and i happen to work in the same field as Karen, lovely lovely lady. I'll give her a call and ask her what she thinks and feels about it", my mom smiled at me and continued her way into the living space. 

Opening the door to my room i smiled at the thought of Liam living with me, i could have a better chance at showing him how much i really do care about him. I took off my shirt and briefs and got into the shower, still thinking about Liam and about us. My life wasn't exactly great either and as shallow as it sounds, normally i wouldn't give a rats ass about anyone else's problems but mine. Liam, that boy changed that. He was the first person whose feelings i actually put before mine, he was so innocent but he always was the victim of everyone else's ignorance; including mine. I wasn't aware of that before i got to know him, i am honestly glad i did though; his soul was pure and it was beautiful. He was one of a kind and i was so grateful to have such an amazing character in my life. I must of lost track while in the shower because according to my mom i was in there for an hour and a half. I stepped out, wrapping the towel around my waist and carefully walking on the tile so i didn't trip. 

After getting dressed and walking out my room i went into the living room where my  mom was sitting on the couch, patting the spot next to her ailing me to sit down. She had a grin planted on her face. "Sweetheart sit down, Okay. So you know how i called Karen", she explained. I looked at her in confusion trying not to show my eagerness, "Yes". "Well, her and her son Liam will be staying with us for a while. She's going to be in the guest room, you and Liam will have to share one because i can't put them in the same room together. Is that alright?", she asked. I smiled and nodded at her. "Great", she added. I got what i wanted and was surprised for once things actually went the way i planned. 

I went back to my room and softly jumped on my bed to my phone that was vibrating. 

Incoming call : Liam 

"Hey babe", Liam fluttered. 

"Hi gorgeous", i replied. 

"Did you know your mom knew mine and we're gonna be moving in tomorrow", he asked in confusion. 

"Well our moms being friends, i barely found out today. As for the moving in i was the one who suggested it to my mom". 

"And she's okay with two people living in her house?", Liam asked worryingly. 

"Yes my love, she's fine. Don't worry. I'm so excited, we're gonna be sharing a room.", i exclaimed in glee and happiness. 

"I'm excited as well baby, well hey my moms cooking dinner so i gotta go", Liam sighed but conintued, "I'll call you after and we can fall asleep on the phone together yeah?". 

I bit my bottom lip and played with my fingers and shyly said yeah. 

The phone call ended and i was left alone with my thoughts until Li called back. I was so ecstatic and filled with happiness, i was overcome with a feeling I've never felt before. That feeling was love.
