Tell Me a Lie [Niam/Ziall] (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 3

I wake up early, my back aches. I open my eyes, realizing that I'm on the couch. My chest feels heavy, I look down and notice Liam sleeping on me, looking peaceful. I smile, running my fingers through my hair. I look at the clock, seeing it's five in the morning. If I go back to sleep, I wont be able to wake up for school. I carefully slide out from under Liam, I run upstairs and change. I grab my guitar and sit on the porch, there's a breeze and it's a beautiful morning. I start strumming aimlessly, before deciding to play Ed Sheeran's Lego House.

I'm gunna pick up the pieces and build a lego house, if things go wrong we can knock it down. My three words have two meanings, there's one thing on my mind. Its all for you. And its a dark and cold December, but i've got you to keep me warm.If you're broken I will mend ya, and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on.

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love. I'll pick you up when you're getting down, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind. I'll do it all for you in time, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now.

I'm gunna paint you by numbers and color you in. If things go right we can frame it, and put it on a wall. And it's so hard to say it, but I've been here before. Now, I'll surrender up my heart and swap if for yours.

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love. I'll pick you up when you're getting down, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind. I'll do it all for you in time, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now.

Don't hold me down, I think my braces are breaking and it's more then I can take. And its a dark and cold December, but i've got you to keep me warm.If you're broken I will mend ya, and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on. I'm out of touch, I'm out of love. I'll pick you up when you're getting down, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind. I'll do it all for you in time, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now.

By the end of the song, my breaths are quick. I smile at the ground, singing always makes me feel better.

"You're really good, you know." I hear someone say, I jump and turn to see Liam in his pajamas leaning up against the door.

"You're really quiet." I say, throwing it back at him. "You scared the bloody hell out of me."

"I make a habit of doing that." he chuckles, sitting down next to me.

"How come you don't sing anymore, Li?" I ask.

I bet everyone is wondering how I met Liam, well, when we were little kids we both tried out for X Factor. We were both turned away because we were so young and inexperianced. That was ten years ago, since then we kept in close contact. We would Skype twice a week, always talk on the phone, letters. Anyway to keep in contact, we did. Only bad part is, I haven't seen or heard Liam since ever since. I miss his voice, it was beautiful.

He shrugs his shoulders, "It's not that I don't, Its that the inspiration to sing hasn't hit me for a while."

I nod, then smile. "I'll protect you, Liam. I swear it." I tell him standing up, he smiles sadly. I realize nearly an hours passed since I came out here. My stomach growls in protest, it begs to be full. Liam laughs, telling me to come inside and eat.

We had cereal, by the time we were finished, we realized we were going to be late. So, Liam decides that he will drive us in his old pick up truck. I scoot into the front seat just as he starts it up. He looks unsure of himself as we drive down the street. We get to school as soon as the bell rings, we run to class so we aren't to late. The teacher glares a little as we burst through the door, Liam and I laugh a little as we walk to our seats.

Once we sit down, I sense a burning in the back of my head. I turn to see Louis staring at me, he smiles, Harry winks at me. His hand and Louis' are entertwined. Zayn's head is down, but he must feel me staring because he lifts it to look at me. His eyes full of confusion as I smile at him, I lift my hand slowly as to wave, but my face quickly falls and I flip them all off. I turn around quick, ignoring the few gasps and a suprised chuckle. That chuckle came from Zayn.

Liam leans over to me and whispers "Are you flipping crazy!?"

"Only for you." I say, winking. Liam and I flirt around, jokingly of course, but realizing that Louis and Harry are gay, I decided not to hide it either. I'm gay, and very much in love with Liam, my best friend. Except, I've always known, Liam is straight.

Tragic, but I don't mind.

Zayn's P.O.V

I can't believe he just flipped me off. I laugh out loud, causing Harry to flinch and Louis to tightens his grip on Harry. This will be interesting. I lean over to my friends.

"Don't touch that one," I say quietly, "He's mine."

I lean back in my chair, smiling as I watch Liam lean over, whispering to Niall about being Crazy. I watch Niall wink and say "Only for you."

Something about what he says makes my clench my fists a little tighter then usual. Just the fact that he talks to that bastard Liam, that he walked with Liam, that he sits with Liam, like how they act like they've known each other forever. I'm jealous of that murdering bastard.

Niall's P.O.V

The first half of school blows quickly, by lunch I am starving. I run to the lunch line, craving the usual cold pizza. Liam is waiting outside at a picnic table, he brings his own lunch. While reaching for a chocolate milk I look out the window, realizing I can see Liam from here. I smile to myself, but quickly let it fall as I see Louis, Harry and Zayn approaching him. Liam stands up, putting his hands up in surrender. I quickly pay for my food and stomp outside.

"I don't want any trouble, boys." Liam says, his voice shaky.

"You are the trouble, idiot." Harry says, pushing his shoulder.

"Don't touch him." I say, putting my food down on the table next to Liam's. I see a look of relief pass by his face, knowing that I'm safe. Harry raises his eyebrows, a visible smirk on his face. He pushes Liam again, causing him to stumble. I feel the anger rise inside me, Harry looks at me, blinking.

I step close to him, closing the space quickly. "I said don't touch him."

"Whose stopping me?" He laughs reaching behind me to push him again, I stop him, unable to control myself anymore. I punch him in the face, not even using all my strenght. Harry stumbles back, holding his nose, cursing.

"Harry!" Louis screams, running to his side. People all around us have stopped to watch, eyes wide as they realize what I just did. Zayn looks down at Harry, watching as the blood pours from his nose.

"You shouldn't have done that." Zayn says, his voice thick, angry. Louis grabs Harry's arm and drags him off to the nurses office, Zayn follows closely behind.

I publically started a war with the Three Kings.
