My Best Friend (Niam)

Chapter 1

Niall's POV:

It was an afternoon like anyother here in Wolverhampton. I am not originally from here, I am from Ireland but my parents moved here since I was 3 years old, I am currently 22 years old.

Here I am in the downtown park playing with the squirrels, it's a bit childish, right? Well, I have no other. My best friend Liam is with his... disgusting girlfriend Sophia Smith, I'm sorry but I don't have another word to describe her.

I have been in love with Liam since I was 10 years old, we have been friends for 15 years. We met because my father and his were very good work friends, at that time Liam was 10 and I was only 5.

FlashBack:

"Come on, Nialler. " It was like he called me before, he told me that he was fond.

"I'm coming, Liam." I said as I climbed the wooden stairs.

Liam wanted us to play in the tree house that was in his backyard while our parents were talking animatedly in the living room of his house.

"Let's go, dwarf turtle. " He said as he took my hand so he finished climbing.

"I told you not to call me that. I crossed my arms, puffed my cheeks and frowned to look angry.

"You're adorable." He smiled at me and then ruffled my hair. At that time I had not fallen in love with Liam but I thought he was a sweet, happy and cute child. Last year Liam had overcome a crisis, since he had been born with many problems and among them he had been born with only one kidney, Liam had to go to the doctor every day to have several injections applied, luckily they found a transplant for him and with the passage of time he did not need more injections. "Look, this is my lair."

"Wow, it's very pretty, Liam." I looked around, had a small sofa something old, a table in the center, a few chairs and a TV where you could only see static and nothing else, but had a DVD connected.

"Yep, hey, do you want to play something?" He asked, smiling at me.

"Clear." I was very excited because at that age I loved games.

"Okay, let's play mom and dad." I frowned.

"I've never played it."

"Look is simple, I will be the father and you the mother" he continued " I will leave the house while you wait for me here and when I arrive you receive me like when your mom greets your dad when he comes home from work, okay?"

"Okay." I smiled while Liam went down, this was going to be a very easy game.

"Hi dear." Liam greeted me like when my dad comes home from work and greets my mom.

"Hello, Love" I replied as my mom does. Liam came closer, put his arms on my waist and pressed his lips against mine. That in a certain part left me in shock, although that was how my parents greeted each other.

"What are we going to eat?" Liam told me when he separated from my lips, he had stolen my first kiss.

"emmm ..." That was what could get me out of my trance". Now... Now I come back ..." I forgot to mention that Liam had a mini-fridge that still works, so I went to him and took out pieces of chopped apple and a small juice-"Here."

"Delicious" Liam sat on the floor and I sat next to him, after we both ate the chopped apple Liam kissed me again, but this time he told me to surround my neck with his hands "Come, Niall" Liam sat on the sofa and I beside him. "Once I saw my parents do this. " Liam lay on the couch and told me to lie on him... and I did. Liam placed his hand on the back of my neck and brought my lips to his, felt strange, as if this was wrong, and I felt even stranger when his tongue entered my mouth and touched mine. I had my eyes open, wide open, but little by little I was liking that kiss and I closed my eyes.

End FlashBack

Over time I got used to climbing to the tree house next to Liam to just kiss, it felt so bad and so good at the same time, but we stopped doing it when I was 7 years old I had to go to my grandmother's house Ireland for Christmas, when I came here to continue studying Liam and I just played, and I did not dare to tell him that a I missed his kisses. At age 10 Liam was 15, but that did not prevent him from becoming my best friend, he always defined himself as the older brother I never had since I am an only child. I started to fall in love with him when he once defended me from some children who tried to hit me, since that day I was totally hurt, I knew it was wrong to fall in love with a boy. At the age of 12 I started to investigate this on my own about homosexuality and I realized that it is normal, but to this day I have not told anyone, not even Liam that I have more confidence on him than my parents .

"Hey, Niall, come on, what are you doing so far?" Liam called me because I had left him "alone" but I hated to go out with him and that Sophia.

She has never liked me and I think the feeling is mutual. I've always hated her because I think she does not deserve MY Liam.

"I just wanted to play with the squirrels." I said sitting on the bench.

"Leave it, love, it's a retard." I looked at her with a frown and she kissed Liam on the cheek, I just turned my face away, those gestures of Sophia to Liam broke my heart, but I know that she only wants Liam for fame. Liam is a member of the One Direction, the most famous band of recent years, I have always supported him and I know that with or without fame I would love me Liam.

"Ca I go to home? I'm hungry." I know that I eat a lot and Liam also knows it perfectly, that's why I said it, but the truth is that I'm not hungry, it's just an excuse to leave here, seeing Sophia's lips on Liam's cheek turned my stomach. I never liked to go out with them, it's just that Liam always asks me and I can never say no.

"Can't you shut up your stupid stomach for a moment? -Liam always let her talk to me like that but I just ignored her.

"Okay, have the car keys, I'll go tomorrow." Liam lived in a private residence, there could not enter anyone without invitation, it is a perfect place to live since paparazzi don't enter.

I was still studying, it was my last year of studies, I was studying psychology at the University of Wolverhampton, my teachers always tell me that I am a genius, because by the age of 22 I will graduate very young, Liam takes me 5 years, so now He is 27 years old and his girlfriend is 24 years old, I live a few months with Liam since my house is very far from the university and Liam's is only 45 minutes walking and 20 minutes by car.

When I went to Liam's car suddenly several paparazzi had discovered him and started taking pictures of him and Sophia. Liam looked rather uncomfortable but Sophia did not erase that sick smile from his face and pulled the collar of Liam's shirt to bring him closer to her.

I just sighed and got into the car, I loved that car, not only because of how luxurious it was, but it smelled like a gym, the natural aroma of Liam. Liam loves the gym, so much so that he has one in his house.

I passed slowly with the car in motion where they were and Liam and Sophia were holding hands followed by some more paparazzi, the house of Sophia was not so far from the park.

I wiped a tear from one of my eyes and followed the path to Liam's house. I always wanted to be the one to take his hand while we walked.
