Chapter Eight

*Louis Tomlinson*

It seemed like a long tense drive back home, Zayn was in the back leaning against the window, asleep, while Liam and Niall sat awkwardly tensed next to each other, no one daring to move. Harry was driving, eyes steady on the road while my eyes seem to droop. I didn’t want to fall asleep on Hazza, who else was going to entertain him, the tense idiots up the back? I think not, they’d end up pissing Harry off so much Harry would crash the car.

I sighed, letting my eyes snap open trying desperately to keep them open, but they kept slowly shutting. I snapped them open again. “Damn it.” I muttered to myself, repositioning so I wasn’t so comfortable.

Harry chuckled, “Go to sleep, Lou. I’m fine; Liam and Nialler are still awake.” I shot him a look which said, ‘Really?’ Harry glanced in his mirror, and sighed obviously seeing the two awkward figures in the back seat. “Lou, really I’m not bothered by it, go to sleep. We’ll be there shortly anyways.”

“Hazza, honestly just shut up. I’m awake, what are you going to do force my eyes shut while you’re trying to drive? Besides you said so yourself, we’re almost there, no point me going to sleep than.” Harry opened his mouth to protest but quickly shut it, realising I’d trapped him.

“Suit yourself, Boo.” He muttered and I laughed.

“I think I will, Curly.” I laughed, and he grinned, turning our heads slightly Liam and Niall had fallen asleep. Arms wrapped around one another. Harry wiggled his eyebrows then turned back to the road, while I on the other hand brought out my phone and took a snapshot of them, posting it on twitter.

“Hey, Lou?” Harry asked, I put my phone down and faced him, “I need to tell you something.” I nodded gesturing for me to continue, “I wanted you to be the first to know; I’m seeing someone.”

Just like that my stomach dropped, and I felt like I was going to puke my guts out, why was a mystery to me. “Hazza…” I groaned.

“Hey I told you first Lou! Please don’t get annoyed at me.” Harry continued rambling on, eyes on the road not noticing my face paling by the minute, or the trembling of my hands.

“Haz…” I groaned out again.

“Louis! I’ve been accepting of all your relationships how are you never accepting of mine?!” Harry’s voice was beginning to get louder and frustrated.

He really liked this girl… My heart dropped. I sucked in my need to puke, I tenses so I didn’t shake and I began taking deep breaths in, “That’s great Haz, I’m happy for you.” Lie.

As much as I wanted it to be true, it wasn’t. Why wasn’t I happy about this? He’s my best mate, I should be ecstatic he’s finally trying to get into a serious relationship after Caroline, but I’m not.

Actually, it made my blood curl. What was going on?

*Niall Horan*

“I love you, Niall.” Liam muttered into my ear, I shivered.

‘No, Niall, you don’t love him back.’ I screamed at myself.

“Every time we touch…” Liam paused, and then laughed, “…it’s like fireworks are surrounding us, are exploding on my skin.”

‘Niall, you don’t feel that way back.’ I grunted to myself.

“And I could only imagine what it’s like to kiss you…” Liam grinned, “Even just the thought… it’s indescribable.”

I gulped, “No.”

Liam’s face panicked, I desperately wanted to grab him to tell him to not be hurt, to tell him… then Simon’s face drifted out of nowhere, “Niall, you’re out. I told you. Any of them found out your gone, if you didn’t get rid of your crush your gone. You broke both rules. You’re no longer apart of One Direction.”

My head began to shake, my hands sweaty, suddenly I felt numb. “You led me on!” Liam screamed.

“You broke your promise!” Simon screeched.

“I thought you loved me, but it was a lie! Our whole friendship is a lie!” Liam sneered.

“What will your fans think? You’re nothing but a lousy fag.” Simon stated his eyes deathly cold.

“Liam I-“ but it was too late when I turned to him he was gone, gone. “Simon!” he was too.

Then voices drifted around me, “Did you hear, Haz? Niall’s gay! How disgusting is that?” Louis’s voice sounded outraged, “I can’t believe we were friends with that piece of shit.”

Harry chuckled darkly “I can’t believe he was a part of One Direction to begin with.”

“Aw, ew I heard about that. I actually spewed up when I first heard. I touched that fag.” Zayn’s venomous voice filled my ears.

All of them… Everyone… They all…

Hated me.

My phone began to buzz, twitter. Rolling down the news feed, my heart broke further; if that was even possible. Everyone I loved… Everyone I cared for…

Hated me.

And, then I woke up.

My breath was ragged my heart aching, “Niall!” someone yelled and I looked up to see Liam staring at me with concern laced in his eyes. “Nialler… are you crying?”

I wiped my hands on my face and felt the wet liquid, I guess I was. It was a dream just a dream, but the events from only hours before were real. I’d confessed it to Liam… I confessed I loved him.

*Flashback*

“Liam, what’s gotten into you!? What happened to the person each one of us looked up to as though he was our father? What happened to that caring and laid back guy that we use to all love and adore? This isn’t you Liam. This cranky bastard that is going around plotting to ruin friendships isn’t you. This isn’t Liam James Payne, member of One Direction, born on August 29th 1993. You are some son of a bitch, possessing the body of the man I love!” I breathed it all out, agitation, venom, anger it all snuck out through every word.

Liam paled, “Man I love?”

I gulped what could I do? I can’t lie to him, which would be wrong, yet in a way I’d been, lying to all of them this whole time. I shook it off. I began to fumble with my fingers nervously. “You know like in a friend way…” I mumbled.

Liam nodded, seeming slightly irritated. “Niall…” Liam trailed off, “You know, I know when you’re lying.”

I looked down at my feet. “I’m sorry Liam…” and then I ran back into the hospital. I couldn’t face him, I was too scared. I was a coward.
