Putting Differences Aside (A Ziam fanfic)

Ch.16: Confessions, A Date

~Louis~

When I went home from the sleepover at Zayn’s I couldn’t help think about everything he said about Niall liking me. I lay down on my bed while staring at the ceiling. I heard a knock on my door and I turned my head to see Lottie standing there. “Hey you okay” Lottie asked me and I just sighed. “Does Niall like me” I asked her while sitting up on my bed. “Of course he does you guys are friends” Lottie responded to me and I just shook my head. “I mean more than friends” I asked her yet again in a different way. Lottie nodded her head. “Yeah he does it’s kind of obvious but you too blind to see it” Lottie replied to me and I just shook my head. Was I to much involve with Harry that I didn’t even see that Niall Horan liked me that way. I mean before Harry came to the school I admit I did have a crush on Niall but nobody knew that not even my family. Then Harry came to the school, he stopped the bullying that was happening and eventually everyone started liking me. So because of Harry Styles my life went from bad to good. So when I became popular, Niall became popular as well, because of course I was friends with Niall. That was the only exception usually you can’t be popular because you friends with that person but I think people started liking Niall because of his funny, talented guitar playing. Niall made girls swoon and girls wanted him even though most people knew he was gay. I remember me being there when he dyed his hair to blonde. I remember protesting him to not to dye his hair because I loved him as a brunette. It suits him so well. “How long do you think he liked me” I asked Lottie while lying back down on my bed. “Hmm maybe since you guys were 12” Lottie responded and soon left my room. I sighed and rubbed hands down my face. I picked up my phone and looked at Niall’s number before dialing his number. I waited for him to pick up the phone. “Ello” Niall answered in his waking up Irish voice that sounded somewhat attracted to me. “Hey Niall it’s Louis, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me later” I asked him and I heard in the background Liam complaining about morning sickness. I wonder what was going on with Liam. I mean he’s been throwing up in the morning. “But if you’re busy I understand” I told him but before I hanged up. “No, No I’ll be there a.s.a.p.” Niall told me sounding completely awake.  “Okay mate I’ll see you in an hour” I told him. “Yeah bye Lou” Niall hanged up and I went downstairs and grabbed an apple to eat. “So Niall’s coming over huh” Lottie gave me a smirk and I rolled my eyes. “Yeah so what if he’s coming over what’s your point” I said to her with sass in my answer. “You guys are going to be a couple now” Lottie smirked even bigger. I sighed and slapped my forehead. “Mom, tell her to knock it off” I complained to my mom who was cooking. “Lottie leave your brother alone” My mom advised her and I stuck my tongue out at her and she stuck hers back at me.

As soon as I got the call from Louis, I practically rushed to get changed. I couldn’t wait to hang out with Louis alone without Zayn or even Liam there. I finally get my chance to hang out with Louis alone. My smile went away into a frown. It was going to be awkward and here I was staring at my reflection in the mirror trying to get my hair into the perfect hairstyle. “You know you turning into Zayn” Liam commented to me and I noticed he was chewing on gum. “I just” I started but only to be interrupted by Liam. “To look good for Louis, I know we all know you have a crush on him it’s kind of obvious to everyone” Liam informed me. “Whatever, how do I look” I asked him and turned around. “Here” Liam handed me a hat and I put it on. “Now you look perfect but next time don’t try too hard okay, Niall there’s a chance he might be hung up on Harry still” Liam advised me and I nodded. I knew that, everybody knows that he has feelings for Harry Styles and that practically kills me. I knew that if Harry didn’t come here to this town, Louis and I wouldn’t be popular or even not picked on so I gave thanks to Harry Styles fixing Louis and I life. I guess that’s why I get why Louis has a crush on Harry but there’s absolute no way they’re going to be together for one, Harry is straight and is in love with Cora in the first place.  “Thanks for the advice Liam but I can take of myself and plus you never know with Louis Tomlinson” I told Liam with a big smile and he just smiled at me. That’s right; seriously, if there is one person who never does the same thing it would Louis Tomlinson and I think that’s why I like him so much. I drove all the way to Louis’ house and I had my guitar in the passenger seat. If there’s one thing you should know about me is that I love my guitar and I basically take it everywhere I go whether it is to the grocery store or even out on a date which it doesn’t happen it a lot because I’m kind of hunged up on Louis Tomlinson always have been since I was 12. Me and Lou grew up together, our parents been best friends since high school so I practically grew up with Louis Tomlinson. We told each other we were gay before telling anyone. I feel like I could tell him anything except this crush I have on him. I knew it wasn’t going away. I entered the house and I see Lottie on the couch eating chips. I walked upstairs and I see Phoebe and Daisy playing in the halls. They both gave me hugs and I just smiled at them and entered Louis room. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.  “Look, Niall I been thinking a lot and I realized something yesterday and today” Louis stated to me while I sat down on his bed. I signal him to keep going. “Look I know you have a crush on me and I know you know I have feelings for Harry but I want to try us out okay” Louis gave me a smile. I don’t know what to say at this point. I just nodded my head and whispered the word okay.

~Harry~

I looked at myself in the mirror while Zayn was lying down on my bed. “Geeze Haz I think you look okay” Zayn told me and I quickly looked in my closet. “Fine isn’t going to work” I yelled at Zayn. Zayn grabbed my shoulders and shook me. “Pull yourself together it’s just Cora in case you forgot” Zayn said to me while I was getting dizzy. “Stop it Zayn, I’m getting dizzy and I really like Cora and plus if I somehow hurt Cora, Liam will make sure to ruin me and I can’t let that happen” I sighed before lying down onto my bed. I was a nervous wreck and Zayn wasn’t making it better. “Look mate trust me on that, you absolutely amazing” Zayn gave me a smile with his teeth and I sighed. “So you really think I look fine” I asked him once more. “Yes definitely you look hot” Zayn gave me a smirk. You might think it’s strange if you are a straight male and a gay guy said that but I been used to those comments. Zayn and I been friends longer than Louis and me. We went to the same school until he moved to this town. I mean Zayn Malik changed from when I knew him younger not just appearance. When I first saw him in this town, I couldn’t identify him caused Zayn Malik looked different and not only that but he acted different too. I thought he was turned into an attractive model. It’s nothing wrong to say that he was hot even though I am straight is it.  I was downstairs and I saw my sister Gemma sitting on the couch. She smiled at me and I looked at Zayn. “Go get her mate” Zayn told me, and I left out to go to my car and I drove to the nice town. I waited for the gate to open to Cora’s house. I drove through the gate and I saw Liam sitting on the steps chewing on watermelon with a jar of salt. I know that when you’re pregnant you have weird cravings but seriously that. I  waved at Liam before going into Cora’s house. I sat down on the couch while her dad kept glaring at me. I looked away from him. “Don’t worry about him” Cora’s mom told me while giving me a smile. “Don’t break my daughter’s heart or else I will break you” Cora’s dad sternly told me and I nodded in fear. I turned around and I saw Cora shaking her head at her dad.

~Cora~

 I was busy fixing my hair and I rushed downstairs to see my dad threatening Harry. I was wearing dark Levi’s with white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. I just shook my head. A part of me get that he’s worried about Harry and who could blame him. He had lots of girlfriends and they never seemed to last. Harry was or I mean is a nice guy who just had such bad luck when it comes to relationships. That’s why I’m going on a date with him so I could get to know him better and plus I really liked him. “You look beautiful, you always do” Harry complimented me causing me to blush. “I’ll meet you in the car” Harry kissed my cheek before leaving out the door. “Dad please he’s such a nice guy” I told my dad before kissing his cheek and hugged my mom and left out door and I saw Liam still eating watermelon and salt. I gave him an ewe expression and he just rolled his eyes. I hopped into the car and we drove around town a little bit. “So Liam’s cravings” Harry said to me. “Yeah that has to be the most normal thing he eaten since he got pregnant” I told him and Harry smiled at me. “Really what else” Harry asked me. “Well one time he just ate pepper and Lemons along with limes” I told him and soon enough we were at Nandos.  We walked in together and Harry even pulled out my chair. We were laughing at a story about Zayn and Harry growing up. “So you won’t tell Zayn about the kid” I asked him while he parked his car in my driveway. He just nodded. “I won’t it’s not my place to tell Zayn or anyone at that point” Harry gave me a smile. I was about to get out the car when he pulled his wrist towards me. Harry stared into my eyes and I kept staring back at Harrys amazing green eyes. Harry and I slowly leaned in when I heard a knock on the window and I looked outside to see my dad. I groaned. “I’ll see you tomorrow at school okay bye” I kissed his cheek while walking into the house with my dad. I glared at my dad while going into my room. I quickly stripped of my leather jacket along with my heels.
