Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 21

"Are you gonna tell management though?" Harry asked as we dressed up in our dressing room.

"It's not a relationship okay? We don't have to tell anyone anything" Liam huffed and I turned around so he wouldn't see the frown on my face. That's right, I mean as much to Liam the way I mean to Harry. They're just using me to forget about what really matters. And what really matters is the fact that the people they love don’t love them back.

I felt a hand on my bare back. "You okay Niall?" Zayn asked.

I turned around quickly and smiled at him. "Yeah"

Louis, Liam and Harry were too busy talking to realize that Zayn and I have started a conversation.

"Niall, you do know that I'm here if you need to talk to someone" Zayn assured.

I smiled at him. "I know Zayn, thanks for that"

"If ever Harry or Liam or anyone else treats you horribly, just tell me and I won’t be afraid to beat some sense into them” Zayn said.

I felt my insides warm. Out of everybody in the room, Zayn has been the only one who never made my head hurt with all these touching and kissing and drama. He always stays quiet and mysterious.

Despite my shirtless state, I leaned forward and gave Zayn a hug. Thank god he already has something on because I think it’d be really awkward if our bare chest touched each other. Not that I mind or anything. I mean, Zayn is pretty fit and attractive and all but—

What the hell? Now I’m thinking of Zayn as well? I guess that’s what being in a band full of attractive boys does to you.

Before Zayn could wrap his arms around me as well, I was suddenly pulled back and I collided with someone’s chest.  I turned around to see Liam glaring at me. “Wha--?”

He shoved my shirt into my hands. “We’re going on stage in a couple of minutes so you have to dress up now unless you want to go in front of the crowd naked” Liam huffed before leaving the room.

I looked at him in confusion before looking at the rest of the boys, wondering what’s all that about.

Louis smirked. “I’m pretty sure Liam is jealous”

“Why would he be jealous?” I asked as I put on my shirt, “He, himself, said that we’re not in a relationship”

“Whatever you guys are, Liam is certainly jealous. I don’t know if he was mad at me for talking to you or mad at you for talking to me” Zayn said.

I didn’t know if I should blush or look away. Liam’s jealous so that would mean something. But what does it mean? Does Liam like me as well? I hope so. Because every time we kiss, I feel fireworks erupt inside of me and every time we touch, my skin gets tingles. It sucks that Liam doesn’t feel the same.

We arrived at the side of the stage and I sighed because Liam looked away when I smiled at him. What’s his problem?

When we finally showed up onstage and when the girls were screaming, Louis was the one who began speaking instead of Liam. I wanted to ask Liam what’s wrong but every time I walked towards him. He would go somewhere else.

I think some of the fans noticed because they started booing and those who had Niam posters waved their posters around.

I looked at Liam and noticed that he was smiling shyly as one of them threw a poster on stage, it was an edited picture of me and Liam holding hands and I couldn’t help but smile.

I walked towards the poster but what I didn’t know that Liam was doing the same.

So when I bent down to retrieve it, I bumped into Liam and our hands were on top of each other. I turned my head to look at him and he was looking at me intently and I am pretty sure that my cheeks are tomato red right now. The others continued singing and I’m positive that they’re doing it on purpose.
