Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 35 part 1/2

"Niall, why aren't you talking to Liam anymore?" a fan asked as we took a picture with her.

"What do you mean?" I asked nervously. We were in one of the meets and greets and one of the fans just pretty much asked me something I never wanted to answer. My heart also fell as I realized someone noticed.

"You guys were holding hands 2 weeks ago, but how come you don't even sit beside each other anymore?" the fan pouted.

I looked at Liam briefly who was having a nice conversation with Louis, 2 people away from me, and being completely oblivious while waiting for the girl to finally tell us how we want to pose.

"Don't you find it weird? That we were holding hands?" I whispered so that no one else would hear.

"Nope" the girl frowned. "I think the both of you are cute and if you really love each other, then you shouldn't care about what anyone thinks and ignore the fans and everyone else"

I felt a pang of guilt as she said that. I haven't been on twitter in a while because I know media would just be talking shit about me and that I’m probably trending and not because of a good cause. But most of all, I've been so scared that all my fans left me, left the band. I'm too scared to see that everyone has stopped supporting us just because of a silly mistake. A silly mistake that involved feelings and going on dates.

"I was just scared that no one would like me anymore" I admitted. I'm glad the other boys were too busy talking to each other. I don't need them to fuss about me more than they already do. They have their own problems and I can't burden them with my own.

The girl looked at me like I was sporting five heads. "Are you fucking crazy? Your true fans love you no matter what and we know you're gay and we don't blame you for loving Liam, and yes it’s pretty obvious that you love Liam. I mean, if you weren't gay for any of the lands in the band then what's the point?" she exclaimed and I actually laughed. I watched as her eyes grew wide. "Wait...is this why you haven't talked to Liam? Is management stopping you?"

Before I could say anything, our photographer told us to get on with it and the fan rolled her eyes before asking us to pose trying to do hand stands and needless to say, we all have photos falling down on the ground.

The rest of the meet and greet went by quickly and my thoughts are on what the particular girl said. None of the fans seemed to hate me so far and they even smiled at me and asked me to hug them for the photo.

When we arrived at our designated hotels, I finally had the guts to check twitter. I didn't tweet anything because I don't want my mentions to be filled with "PLEASE FOLLOW ME" but instead, I began creeping.

My heart warmed when I saw everyone talking about how they miss me. Some were talking about whether or not Niam was real. Some said it was, others said we were just really close friends. Most of them said we were cute though.

There are a couple of tweets though saying that they're sad because I've been ignoring them despite the fact that they've been supporting me, supporting us since day one.

I sighed and began typing.

"Hey guys , sorry if I haven’t been much on lately ! wish i could tell u why..."

And just like that, twitter exploded with all these tweets and questions.

"What happened, Niall? Please DM me or something..."

"Is it Niam?"

"Is Niam real?"

"Is Larry real?"

"Management sucks!"

I wish I could tell them and agree with them but I can't. I just sighed and closed my phone and tried to go to sleep.
