Plot Twist ((Niam))

Chapter 35 part 2/2

"Are you ready?" Liam whispered while I changed into our concert clothes. I gulped. Tonight is the night where Liam is gonna come out and to be honest, I'm really nervous. I know I told Zayn a bunch of things like how I'm ready to face consequences as long as my family and friends and Liam are with me but now that I’m thinking about it, maybe it was my pride speaking.

I quickly thought of the worst case scenario. Okay, maybe a couple of fans would hate us. Maybe millions of fans will hate us. Maybe even all of the fans will hate us and stop supporting the band and leave us. And as soon as they leave us, our sales will drop and management will let us go and we'll have to break up and all our dreams and hopes will go down the drain and I have to return to my family and deliver them the horrible news and I have to live my life as a football coach or something.

I gulped.

Liam must have sensed my apprehension because he rubbed my back and leaned closer so he can whisper on my ear. “I can take it back if you want. We can come out another day”

I shook my head quickly and tried to breathe properly. No. I want this. I want us to be finally happy. “No. I want this” I said out loud.

“Good luck you guys” Harry smiled as he patted both of our backs at the same time. Meanwhile, Louis was in a corner muttering to himself instead of cheering us on and making some kind of rude or sarcastic joke. I was about to ask him if he’s alright but then someone walked into the room and told us we has 5 minutes left before going on stage so I sat down on the nearest sofa and hastily put on my shoes.

Liam gave me a quick kiss on the forehead before walking over to the mirror to fix himself. I gulped and tried to calm myself down before I can mess it up even more for everyone by doing badly on stage.

I heard the sofa whine underneath me as someone sunk beside me. I turned my head and saw Zayn looking at me with so much concern written on his face and I immediately know the reason why.

“I’m fine” I said before he could even open his mouth. Zayn pulled his head back in surprise before shaking his head and placing his hand on my knee.

“You don’t have to do this. It won’t hurt to wait for just a little bit more right?” Zayn tried to reason out but I shook my head even thought I was as concerned and worried as him.

“It’s now or never” I muttered as a body guard walked in the changing room and told us to follow him towards the backstage.

As we made our way from the changing room towards the back of the stage, I watched as we passed by a lot of people, most of them were our producers and managers and none of them even bothered to say hi or wish us luck for our concert. They’re just acting like we’re normal teenagers going for a stroll instead of teen pop stars working hard for the money they spend on themselves. I huffed. They don’t even spare us a single glance, but that will all change tonight.

We started off the concert with the usual songs and all. I still pushed myself to sound good and jump around onstage even though my knees were nearly buckling in nervousness.

Halfway through the concert, Liam began his usual speech and I gulped because I know he’s gonna make the big move and there’s no turning back now.

“You’re all lovely. till this day I can’t believe people actually pay to watch us” Liam chuckled.”If we had it our way, we’ll let you watch for free…but sadly…” Liam trailed off but he quickly snapped back into attention. “Anyways, I have a confession to tell you guys…” Liam audibly gulped. “I’m in love….”

The whole crowd cheered, some with happiness, some with remorse. But Liam wasn’t done yet.

“…with a boy”
