"I, Uh, I," I stuttered. Niall fanned himself with my script, his eyebrows raised.

"Cam, what is this? Do you act?" he asked, flipping through the pages, noticing all of my highlighted lines and notes to the side. My eyes met his, and I knew that he knew the truth. If I lied about not acting, he would know. Slowly, I nodded. "Cam! That is so cool! Why haven't you told anyone?" Niall gaped.

"I didn't want anyone to know. What if I'm bad at it? Or I fail? Only Harry knows," I mumbled.

"You told Harry?" Niall mumbled, a little hurt.

"Well, he kind of found out. He saw a picture of me when I used to do theater a long time ago. Yesterday he drove me to the theater, and I signed up to audition for Aurora in three weeks."

"Can I help?" Niall asked shyly, a dash of red hinting in his cheeks. "Like rehearse the script or choose an audition song?"

I smiled softly. Someone else believed in me and wanted to help. Why would I turn this down? "Of course, Niall." Niall smiled widely and wrapped me up in a bear hug.

"Niall? Where are you?" Liam's voice called out, and then footsteps sounded throughout the house.

My eyes widened, and I pointed at the script. "Go hide that!" Niall frantically nodded, and spun around in a circle before making a mad dash out the door. Liam entered, and his eyes saddened.

"Oh. Have you seen Niall?" he asked shortly. I slowly shook my head and lowered my gaze to the ground. Quickly, I started to shuffle out of the kitchen, my gaze locked on my feet. "Wait!" Liam called, grabbing my wrist and tugging me back. I fought back a hiss, and met his eyes, which were flooded with emotion. "Cam, I'm sorry about freaking about the kiss. I should have known it was just for a dare."

I nodded once before sighing. "No, Liam. It's my fault. I should have told the girls it was stupid," I mumbled. Liam extended his hand and pulled me into a hug, resting his head on my own.

"I guess we're both in fault."

"I'm sorry, Li. I don't hate you," I cried out.

"I know you don't. I know. It was in the heat of the moment. I love you, Cam. And that won't change," Liam assured. We silently hugged for a few minutes before Liam started to chuckle. "I should have believed you when you said it was a dare. As if you would actually have feelings for Lou."

Slowly, I pulled away from the hug, biting my lip and eyeing Liam nervously. Liam's laughter died down as he noticed my expression. "You have feeling for Lou?"

"A little," I admitted. Liam nodded, dumbly, gazing into the distance. After a while, he sighed. "I approve."

"What?"

"I approve of you and Louis. He's a good lad, and I trust you. But if he hurts you, I swear I will pound him, best friend or not," Liam threatened. I giggled and hugged my older brother.

"Pizza's ordered!" Niall interrupted, barging into the kitchen.

"Hopefully Louis's down cooking," Liam sighed. "I'm starved!" The three of us walked out to the patio, Harry coming our of no where and steering me into a seat. He placed a plate in front of me laden with two small slices of pizza and a hot dog.

"I expect half to be gone," Harry whispered in my ear, and I nodded in understanding.

Zayn and Louis rounded the corner, laughing and holding trays of food. Louis placed one tray on one table, while Zayn placed the other on the table I was at. His eyes caught my full plate, and he scowled before looking at me. "Wow. Save some for the rest of us, fatass."
