Only Time Will Tell...(Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 12- Never Have I Ever

I happened to look over before getting in Niall's car and saw Liam staring directly at me. Liam always knew I thought Niall was cute a couple years ago, so the expression on his face was hard to read. It didn't take me long to break eye contact and jump in Niall's car. 

"I'm really glad you could make it tonight. Sorry it's not the party you wanted, but..."

"Its fine, Niall. Trust me... I'm not really the partying type. I'm just glad I got to see you. Two years is way too long."

"I wonder why Liam didn't tell me. I don't think the other boys knew either cause they didn't say anything about you."

"Oh... that's weird... I don't know. I know Andy knew, but I guess that's it," I replied, confused. I'm still trying to figure out why Liam didn't say anything....

Niall and I talked the whole way to his flat. I've always gotten along great with him and I feel like we've been friends forever. He's so easy to talk to. 

"Almost there I promise."

"No problem. So do you live alone or with a friend?"

"Just me... I used to share a flat with one of the boys, but we got our own after a while. Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure..." I replied. 

"You seemed a little off tonight. Like stressed or nervous or something..."

"Long story," I replied laughing. 

He laughed under his breath. "I'm guessing you don't want to talk about it?" he questioned.

"You'd be correct," I smiled.

"Okay, okay, I get it..."

We arrived to Niall's flat and we were the first one's here. When we walked through the door, I was amazed at how nice the inside was. I've seen Liam's flat too, but Niall's has a more "homey" feeling to it. It fit him perfectly. The next people through the door were their drummer and I think a couple members of their opening act 5SOS. I didn't want to show it, but I was excited they were here because I really wanted to meet them. 

"Ashton, Calum.... This is Brooke,  a childhood friend of Liam's," Niall said, introducing me. 

"Hey, nice to meet you," they replied in unison. 

"So you grew up with Liam?" Ashton asked. 

"Yeah, I moved to England from America when I was really young. Liam was my neighbor."

"Did you enjoy the concert?"

"I really did. You guys are awesome by the way. Who inspired you guys as a band?"

"Thanks, that means a lot. I joined the band a little later than all the other boys. We are all into the same kind of music. Like Blink 182, Good Charlotte, All Time Low... bands like that."

"You guys sound just as good as them, maybe even better. Do you have an album out?"

"Not yet, but we have an ep. You should check it out sometime."

"I definitely will," I replied smiling. 

"Hey could I borrow Brooke for a minute?" a familiar voice interrupted. 

"Anna!" I said, turning around. 

"It was great to meet you," I said, turning around and smiling at Ashton.

He smiled, "You too."

"I didn't even see you come in."
