Second Chances - A Niam Horayne Love Story

Prologue

Liam's POV

There we were the moment of truth standing in front of The Simon Cowell waiting to see if we made it into the live shows. Going home now after just meeting these four amazing lads would be completely devastating! As soon as we were put into a group we planned on meeting at Harry's bungalow to get to know each other and practice cause we wanted to be perfect for Simon.

While we were there I got to know all of the lads really well, especially Niall. We just clicked as soon as we met each other. We did everything together the week we were at the bungalow. I've never met anyone so full of life and so carefree. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, and the sexiest Irish accent! Yes I'm gay and I have a huge crush on my new mate Niall Horan. I can't tell him tho, nobody even knows I'm gay but my best friend plus he is probably as straight as an arrow!

"I'm sorry guys but it's a no."I was pulled out of my thoughts of Niall by Simon's answer.

A No? What am I supposed to do now? Every one at school knows I'm on the show again. The bullying was bad enough the first time I was sent home! What are they going to do to me this time! Plus my parents spent so much money to help me get here and we don't have much as it is! But do you know what the worst part is? What will happen to the band? Will we stay together? And most importantly will I still see Niall?

I woke up with a start. It's been a little more then a year since the moment we found out One Direction would not be making it into the live rounds. That was the day when my luck ran out. After the rejection One Direction decided to go our separate ways. I was devastated! I lost four of the closest friends I have ever had, but I was lost Niall! My feelings never went away for the cute little Irish lad. Tho that wasn't the worst thing that happened to me that day. On their way to the air port to pick me up a truck hit my parents car killing them instantly. I was a wreck for months, it was all my fault. If I hadn't been sent home they wouldn't have had to pick me up. I didn't go out for months after the accident, except for school I stayed in the house. If it wasn't for my best friend I would still be a complete wreck.

"Liam wake up! I'm going to the grocery store, and today is your first day of work!" My grandpa Payne yelled up the stairs.

I moved in with him after my parents death. It wasn't so bad, plus he was less lonely with me around.

"I'm up! See you later Grandpa." I yelled back.

I rolled out of bed and wandered to the bathroom to get ready for my first day of work. Yay I'm so excited! Note the sarcasm. My best friend Ryan got me the job at Nando's. He is a supervisor there so he got me the job as soon as he got his 'arch nemesis' Angel fired. Ryan has a very interesting personality. I met him when he moved to Wolverhampton from South Shields a couple months before I left for the X-Factor the second time. We were instant friends. His quirky personality was what got me out of my depression after my parents death. I love the guy, as a best friend of course.

Once I was finished getting ready including putting on this terrible uniform they make us wear. I grabbed my keys and was headed for the door when there was a loud knocking at the door. "LIAM! Get your ass out here, or we are going to be late!" I swung the door open and smirked at my best friend.

"Keep your socks on Ryan, I'm ready!" I said as we made our way down the driveway.

"First of all you know I don't wear socks and second, it's Sir to you now! I'm your supervisor so you have to treat me with respect!" He claims as he puffs out his chest like he's important.

"Hahaha ya that's not happening dude." I laugh.

He scowls while I continue to laugh. "At least pretend to respect me tho ya? No one does and the my parents are starting to wonder why everything is so hectic while I'm in charge."

"I don't blame them, all you ever do is goof off and text me while your at work!" I point out to him as I see the Nando's sign in the distance.

I don't know how I'm going to work here without always thinking about him. Niall loved Nando's! For the short time that we knew each other he begged me every night to take him to Nando's. It didn't help that the restaurant was right across Harry's bungalow.

"Your thinking about him again arn't you." Ryan says as I snap out of my daydream.

"Ya."

Ryan is the only person that knows I'm gay and crushing on my ex band mate that I will most likely never seen again. I can't keep things from him, mostly because he won't stop pestering me when he knows i have something on my mind.

"Maybe you will see him again you never know. I could help you look him up!" Ryan suggests as we continue to walk to work.

I just shrug and I think he understands that I don't feel like talking about him anymore.

"Hey! I almost forgot to tell you that you are coming to mine tonight to watch the X-Factor! Jade's group Little Mix is in the finale so you have to come Pleaseeeee!" He begs as we walk into work.

Jade is his girlfriend from back in South Shields. She's a lovely girl and she makes Ryan extremely happy, plus when she comes to visit she takes Ryan off my hands for a couple weeks so thats a plus for me!

"You know how I feel about that show mate."

"Please! It would mean alot to me! Plus Andy and Sophia will be there and you know I hate being the third wheel." Ryan begs as he gets down on his knees looking like a hurt litlle puppy.

"I will think about it." I say trying to get out of the uncomfortable situation.

He stands up and glares at me. " You will come or I will get all of my other lackeys to pin you down while I see how many spoons I can force down your throat!"

"Oh god, not spoons." I exclaim. "Fine, I will come but I won't enjoy it!"

"Excellent! Now it's a party!" He exclaims as we walk to the back of the restaurant. 

I can't wait for this day to be over.
