Liam Loves Me...

Chapter One

Today is the day, the day I finally come out to everyone. I am gay, and very proud of it. Of course I didn't have a boyfriend or anything because no one knew that I was interested in guys you know. Well my mother had always told me to follow my heart and love is love, she is right and I understand exactly what she meant. I am going to tell her first, I know she is in heaven but if she was still with me she would want me to tell her first. My dad wasn't going to approve I already know it, but my sister would, definitely, she had plenty of gay friends. Gemma that is my sister's name, she has always had some guy over and before mum died she would always question her, but every time it was another gay guy. I knew a lot of them and sometimes I would hang out with them and Gem. Robin on the other hand, didn't really support gays. He thought that guys and girls make couples not guys and guys or girls with girls. I didn't really care if he didn't like my choice, although it really wasn't a choice, someone had changed my mind about being straight. I have never talked to him before, but he changed me. He is the reason that I am gay now. I want to be with him, and I know he is gay, but me, the shy nerdy kid, with the most attractive guy at my school, I have no chance. But, now that I am going to tell people maybe I will have that slight chance. His name, Liam, Liam Payne. I wasn't sure how he had changed me, but ever since I saw him last Friday at my footie try out, I don't think I ever would of. I'm not really the sport type; I have played footie my whole life so I thought I could try out this year. I am a junior and I am not getting any younger. I signed up for a later time on Friday evening and showed up a few minutes early only to witness the most beautiful person I had ever seen kicking one last goal before walking right past me into the change room. I smelled his sweat, as he passed me and he didn't even acknowledge me but I definitely noticed him. I only had seen him a few times before and I didn't think anything of him until I saw him shirtless and sweaty on the footie field. Currently, I am sitting here in my room my mind is going crazy, how am I going to tell my step-dad, Robin and Gemma that I am gay. I thought about this for so long last night, now my mind is telling me to keep it a secret. No, I am ready. Here I go; I know Gemma is watching tv and Robin is probably in the kitchen.

"Gemma! Robin! Can you guys come into the living room please?" I called from the living room seeing that Gemma wasn't there. I heard footsteps coming through the door way and then Robin appeared and stood in the door way while Gemma ran down the stairs from her room probably.

"Harry, what is it, is something wrong?" Robin asked. He always thought the worst scenario when I needed something, mostly because I never need anything.

"I want to tell you guys something, I have recently become aware of something that I wasn't sure about and I have something to admit to you two." I said getting a little quieter. Both of them just nodded, they didn't say anything which usually meant to keep talking so that's what I did. " I have recently discovered that I am gay. Before either of you say anything, don't try and persuade me to be fixed because I can't just choose something like this. I am aware that some people will not approve of my current discovery but I don't care what others think, this is who I really am now and I don't intend to change." I said not daring to look into either of their eyes. I didn't hear anything for a few seconds so I looked up to see Gemma smiling and Robin looked really shocked. I totally expected those reactions.

"Harry! Oh my gosh! I knew it! I knew that you would come out sooner or later, so how did you figure it out? Is there a guy? I knew it, there is, what is his name? How old is he, how long have you liked him? Ooh, we are going to have so much fun picking out guys together!" She was way too over excited about this, but it was definitely better than being upset. I got a small smile on my face but I was definitely not going to tell either of them about Liam, he doesn't even know me. I looked past Gemma to see if Robin had anything to say.

"Harry, I am very proud of you for being able to come out about this, you know how I feel about homosexuals. But, I think that you should do what you feel is right, I support you, no matter what, I told your mum that whatever happens I would support you so I do and will. I will accept any boy that you bring into your life. No matter whether it is just a friend or more than that. Thank you for being so honest with me." I was definitely not expecting that from him but I walked over and hugged him without saying anything first and he pulled me into a tighter hug and it almost brought a tear to my eye. "I have to get back to dinner; you and your sister can talk now." He said walking back to the kitchen.
