Tell Me a Lie [Niam/Ziall] (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 22 - END

I wake up feeling like a whole new person; my body is lighter and the smile on my face seems so much more real. Zayn makes me breakfast in bed, a huge smile on his face the whole time I eat - he didn't even ask for me to share my double chocolate chip pancakes like he usually does, not that it bothers me...More food for me.

Louis and Harry just seem to know about last night, I don't know how - they just know! The keep sending Zayn winks and sly smiles every time I walk by, thinking I can't see them. Last night, Zayn and I became one and I'm happy about it, even if the pain in my back says it wasn't a bright Idea.

The moment of utter bliss seems to last only a moment as I realize that today I will have to face Liam. Zayn and I talked and we decided that I will be moving in with him and the other boys, and I feel awful about having to leave Liam but it's better for the both of us. Liam is a completely different person drunk, but on the inside, everything he said last night is his true feelings, ones that he doesn't like to show. He is jealous of me and he has a scary adoration for Zayn, one that he doesn't even want to believe himself.

Zayn brings me to Liam's but I tell him to stay in the car as I go pack, he agrees even though I know he wants to put up a fight. He is in to far of a good mood today and I guess he realizes he doesn't want it ruined by Liam.

Liam answers the door, looking like crap. His clothes from last night are rumpled, his eyes bloodshot and a visible 5 o'clock shadow. His eyes are apologetic as he lets me in, but he doesn't say anything as he leads me up to my room. He stands in the doorway as I pack up all my clothes and everything else. I walk back and forth from the house to the car, carting out all of my things. After about an hour, I'm on my last box and I am standing in an empty room.

Liam walks in once more and finally speaks up.

"I am so sorry Niall, Last night something inside me just snapped and I couldn't control myself." He whispers, his hands shaky "That wasn't me."

"It was you," I tell him, putting my box on my dresser. "You can try and deny your feelings, but I wont deny what I say or deny hearing what you said."

I walk up to him and put my hands on his shoulders. "You are my best friend, but you have changed. I don't know when it started, but I know the cause is the accident you were in with Lily. Something inside you broke that day and you have never fixed it." I shake my head. "You don't sing anymore Liam, you barely smile anymore. The boy I met at X Factor is gone and replaced by the shell of what used to be. You try and put up this Façade, try to be what you were but you can't get it back. You need help, you're a screwed up mess."

I watch as tears start to collect in his eyes and he turns his head, his shoulders are shaking and I feel a tiny bit bad that I had made him cry, but it's a truth he needs to hear. I pull him into a tight hug, he clings to me.

"I killed her," He whimpers, his voice breaking. "It was an accident, but I killed her. I swerved at the last minute, took my eyes off the wheel. I was drunk, I was the cause of her death. I didn't mean to, want to. I just wanted to be happy!"

"You need help, LiLi." I whisper, "You need to go talk to someone, a professional."

He nods his head against my chest and I hold him even tighter, tears of my own forming in my eyes. Once Liam is better we can be friends again, we can fix everything that broke when Lily died - maybe the boys will begin to trust him again.

I pull out from the hug and grab my box, Liam pleads with me to stay but I just shake my head. He isn't going to get any better with me here. I walk down the stairs, the heaviness on my heart slowly loosing its weight the closer I get to the door. I feel a weight lift off my shoulders as the sun hits me from the outside.

Zayn is smiling at me from the seat of his car, his shades covering his eyes as he leans over the steering wheel. A smile of my own breaks out on my lips as I walk to his car, I throw the last box into the backseat and slide in next to him.

"So where to?" He asks once I'm all buckled in, my smile softens and I look up to the sky.

"Home."
