27 | The talent show

"Where is he?" Liam asked as he pulled a bit of the red curtain aside, spotting everyone who came for him sitting in their reserved seat, but one was still open.

"He's probably just running a little late. He'll come, don't worry." Gigi assured the worried boy, pulling him away from the curtains. She started fixing his hair. "But I'm up in five minutes. He promised he would come." The brunette frowned as he looked up at the blonde, the American girl releasing a sigh. "Babe, don't worry." She cupped his cheeks and looked him dead in the eye.

"You'll be fine. And if he doesn't show up, I'll make sure to beat him up, alright?" Liam chuckled a little at that and nodded his head, sighing. "Alright..." He mumbled, smiling softly when Gigi pressed a kiss to his forehead.

"You're gonna do great tonight Li. I can just feel it." She squealed and smiled widely, hugging him. "Knock 'em dead sport." She pulled away and quickly headed out once the announcer walked back on stage.

Liam was chewing on his bottom lip once again, feeling a little nauseous due to his nervousness. He closed his eyes for a brief second, inhaling deep breaths when suddenly, two muscular arms wrapped around him from behind. "Hey baby." A shiver ran down his spine at the deep voice of his boyfriend, a smile forming his lips. "Hey." He said and turned around, facing him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked and cupped his face when the dark haired lad pressed their lips together, his eyes fluttering close.

"Wanted to wish you luck." Toni whispered softly against his lips. "And your mum told me to tell her precious baby to kill it tonight." He chuckled softly and pulled away slowly, kissing the top of his head.

Liam giggled softly at that and nodded. "Tell her I will." He smiled and pecked his lips once more. "I'll see you after the show?"

"Yeah baby." Toni smiled and caressed his cheek, kissing his forehead. "I love you." He whispered, Liam's eyes widening at that. His heart started to skip a beat, his lips breaking into a wide smile.

"I love you too." He cupped his cheeks and pulled him down, pressing their lips back together. He felt Toni smile against his own lips, his grip tightening around his waist and pulling him closer.

They pulled away once the brunettes name was announced, the two staring into each other's eyes with so much fond. "You're gonna do amazing." Toni assured him softly, kissing the tip of his nose before pulling away slowly, giving him one last smile.

Liam bit down his lip and watched him go, taking a deep breath. He smiled at the applause and whistles, knowing it came from Harry, Yaser, Chris and Gigi. He came out from the back of the stage, waving at his family that were sitting in the back.

Liam took a seat in front of the piano that was brought there, chewing his lips nervously. He looked over at the crowd, his fingers resting on the keys. His eyes slowly closed, his heart thumped against his chest as he started to play the melody of the song.

And that's when he started to just sing, pour his heart out into the song. His voice so soft, lingering with all kinds of emotions he's been feeling. His eyes were closed, his heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

He reopened his eyes, looking over at the crowd to see everyone listening to him closely, some even having years in their eyes. His family had big smiles on their lips as they watched the boy preform on stage, yet his eyes moved to the empty seat beside Trisha, his heart dropping into his chest.
