NERD (Niam) (boyxboy)

30

I wouldn't say I wasn't nervous for this date...

Liam won't tell me where he's taking me and I don't know how to feel about it.

He picked me up and opened the car door for me, being a complete gentlemen.

I told Harry I forgave Liam and that we're going on a date...he wasn't exactly supportive but he understood it's what I want.

Louis apologised for everything. He truly was sorry. He explained that his state of mind wasn't exactly normal and he had just wanted someone to blame, thinking his brother would come back but when Harry left him he realised that he was being an idiot. He apologised for the teasing, the hitting, Brian, hospitalising me...He was sincere and that's all I needed.

Of course all the other bullying wasn't going to stop...but it was nice to know that I have friends.

"Niall?" I looked up to see the car is no longer moving. "We're here". I undid my seatbelt and climbed out of the car, staring at the cute little restaurant with mood lighting and cute little outdoor seating. He gently grabbed my hand and led me into the place, chatter and cutlery filling the room.

"Hi welcome to The Secret, do you have a reservation?"

"Yes, under Payne". She looked down at the book and nodded, grabbing two menus.

"Right this way". We followed her to a booth and Liam sat on one side removing his jacket, me following his actions and sliding in on the other. She walked away and we looked to our menus. I decided quickly to have a Coke and moved to the mains.

It's always a struggle to pick something to eat. So many great choices and only one can be made. I also want a garlic bread but it would be rude to ask...so I probably shouldn't.

"Anything looking good?" He smiled and placed his menu down.

"Well, I'm thinking the chicken (stuffed with mozzarella wrapped in parma ham with a side of homemade mash), or maybe the Bolognese?"

"Sounds good! I'm thinking a Hawaiian pizza, if you feel like it, we could share one? and maybe some garlic bread as an entree?" 

I nodded quickly and placed the menu down.

"Yeah that sounds great! And I'll have a coke". He nodded and waved over the waitress, ordering our food. 

"So, Louis still won't talk to me.." I frowned.

"Well...You wouldn't talk to him either...?" He looked taken back and frowned. 

"Guess he's got his fingers hooked in you too now". He muttered it under his breath but it was loud enough for me to hear as he crossed his arms over his chest. 

"Excuse me?" He shook his head. 

"Nothing." I frowned and mimicked his bodily attitude. 

"No, what did you say?" 

"I just thought you were different, I can't believe you would defend someone like Louis, after everything he's done to you.." I scoffed. 

"I'm not defending anyone, I only stated the truth. But you know what? I will defend him! He tried to apologise to you for a long time and I see why he's angry because you wouldn't hear what he had to say then expected him to believe you cared when he got injured and then you're treating him like he's the worst person in the world for hurting me but then do the same fucking thing to me...you know what? Fuck this!" I slid out of the booth, grabbing my jacket and walking out of the warm restaurant into the cold air, not having any idea on where I'm going but I guess I will find my way home somehow.
