Loving Niam (BOYXBOY) (COMPLETED)

Part 21: Liam's POV

"Zayn, zayn, zaynnnn!!!" I screamed and ran straight into him, only to clash head first into his back and I fell onto the ground, landing hard on my butt. This, definitely was not going good. I was really being so unlike me on so many different levels.

I looked up, only to see Zayn staring at me, with that oddly amused look again. It really must be my lucky day somewhere, as by now, I was pretty sure, that Zayn would have killed me. "If you must know, I happened to be on the other side of the street, buying food for our ever ravenous Josh, when I saw what had happened. You really should talk to Niall instead of rushing off like that, ya know?"

I cocked my head to one side thoughtfully, pursuing my lips in a small pout as I pondered over the possibility. The date had gone well, we were going well. Oh why do I choose to let Perry come between us, when it could really be nothing?

I continued in that spiel for a bit internally until I heard Zayn, "Stop that, you oaf. You been on it for like 10 minutes now. Stop the talking out loud and get moving". Ooops! I had done it again!

I scrambled up on my feet and grinned erratically at Zayn who just smacked my head and walked away. I stared at him walking away and decided to do something about it, whipping out my phone to text Niall.

Liam: Niall, dinner tomorrow?

Niall: Hey, erm, not really. I am kinda busy with family visits and all. Another day, perhaps.

Liam: Oh sure, no problem.

I stared thoughtfully at my phone again. Was it me, or did he seem distant? I groaned inwardly and just sat down on the floor, for a bit, with my head in my hands. Yes, he was distant. Definitely. Man, that Perry, that damned man. He must have said something and running away like that, did not help my case at all.

I sat there for a bit, until I felt a kick around my ankle. I looked up to see Zayn looking at me and I quickly scrambled up and into his arms for a hug. Zayn just cooed softly and rubbed circles on my back, knowing I just needed comforting.

To be honest, being in this band was like being part of a family. These people were my family and at times, when I struggle, I know I have them, watching my back and being there for me.

Even if the Niall thing was being a disaster, at least one thing was going right.
