Liam's P.O.V

"Liam..." Niall's voice is low and soft, I feel my heart thud against my chest. I wasn't expecting him to be behind me, I turn around.

"Yes?" I ask, trying to calm myself down.

" I need to tell you something, you might not like what I have to say, but I've been hiding it for so long and I just need to get it off my chest, Okay?" He says, looking at his hands. Niall is my best friend, and we barely saw each other up until a few weeks ago, but I feel so close to him. Knowing a person for ten years, regardless of distance, it makes you feel like family.

"Go ahead, Ni." I tell him, sitting down in the chair.

He breaths in, looking seriously nervous. "IjustwantedtotellyouthatIthinkI'minlovewithyou." He says it all to quickly to catch, I rub my forehead. "Come again."

"I just, well, I think...." He breaths in, "I love you."

I jump, shocked from his confession. I never knew that Niall liked me like that, Hell, I didn't even know he was gay. Not that I have a problem with gays, Harry and Louis are gay and we use to be close. I look at Niall seriously, he is not bad looking, in fact he is beautiful. I once thought of myself as Bi, but meeting Lilith changed all that for me, she was the only person I ever wanted. I shake my head and look up into Niall's pale blue eyes.

"Niall, I'm sorry, I can't.." my voice is rough, and I feel like this is the hardest decision of my life. Nialls shoulders slump a bit, but he doesn't look away, he gives me a curt nod and small smile.

"I didn't think you would say yes, I guess I was just hoping I had a little bit of a chance, y'no?" He walks over and hugs me, "I just want you to know, that I don't want us to change, I don't want you to feel awkward."

"I wont." I say, truthfully, I couldn't loose Niall. I needed him by my side and I needed to act natural. I ruffle his hair and finish up cooking our dinner. Niall runs upstairs to change and my mind starts to wander.

Niall's P.O.V

Shit. Fuck. Fucking fuck. Shit.

I can't believe I just did that, I let my feelings known only to be rejected. I mean, I was kind of expecting it, since he only really got over the whole Lilith thing only a matter of minutes before, and also the fact that he is clearly straight. But, damn, I wish he just took a longer time before deciding, to even give me the tiniest bit of hope. I scream into my pillow so Liam doesn't hear me. I don't want him to think I'm taking this rejection so badly. I sit up in bed, watching as tears drip onto my hands. I shake my head and rub my eyes, I can't be weak, not now.

I change my clothes quickly, and run downstairs in a pair of flannel pajama pants. I wanted to get out of those jeans since I put them on, and now I'm in the comfiest thing in the world. I slide into my chair at the island and watch as Liam lays a plate of macaroni and roast beef infront of me. I feel my mouth water as he puts a fork and a bottle of coke infront of me. I dig in quickly, hearing Liam chuckle at me. He thinks of me as a bottomless pit, because I'm always hungry.

After dinner, we play video games until he sends me upstairs to go to bed. I swear, Liam thinks of himself more as my mother then my bestfriend. I sigh and climb in my bed, which seems so much bigger all of a sudden. I look out the window and watch as rain slowly hits the glass. I fade off to sleep, listening to the thumping of the rain.

Zayn's P.O.V

I dreamt of him last night, that blond haired boy. Niall, since the moment I saw him, he is lodged in my brain. I told the boys not to touch him, even though I know they both want to rip his pretty little face into pieces.

Except, yesterday he said somethings that have us all second thinking about Liam. I growl and jump out of bed, grumbling as I walk into the shower. That kid will be mine.

Niall's P.O.V

I actually woke up to the blaring of my alarm clock today, instead of Liam knocking on my door. I walk into his room, seeing him groaning, rolling around in bed, holding his stomach.

"Liam?" I sit next to him, combing his hair back. I flinch as the heat coming from his head, this boy has a serious fever. "Shit, LiLi. You're sick."

"Yeah, got a little cold last night. I had to get something from the truck, the rain must've gotten to me." He coughs, and groans.

"I'll go get you something, what do you need."

"Nothing, Ni, just some sleep. Go get ready for school."

"No," I say, stomping my foot. "I'm not leaving you here, sick and all by yourself."

"Niall, It's fine." He smiles, "I called the doctor, he is paying me a special visit."

I growl, annoyed about this whole situation. Liam has basically been taking care of himself since he was twelve. His parents both passed away, leaving him with a large fortune. He was put in the costudy of his nanny, who wasn't even allowed to touch his money. So basically she just signed the papers, accepted some cash from the government every few weeks and leaves him here while shes at home with her real family.

"Go, Niall." He orders, his voice sick, but dominant.

I sigh, forcing myself to listen to his command. I lazily get dressed and stomp down the stairs, there is a box of poptarts on the table, and since I'm angry, I take the whole thing with me, munching on them while I walk to school.

I get there and immediatly feel out of place, I don't know anyone here but Liam and being without him today will literally suck. No body talks to me because I'm close to Liam, and they know how the kings feel about him. I growl as I walk into homeroom, the kings are already in there seats, talking quietly amongst themselves.

I sit in my seat, quietly, not wanting to bring much attention.

"Hey, wheres Liam?" I hear a rough voice ask , I turn to see Zayn's eyes light up while looking at me.

"Home, sick," I say simply, turning back to the front.

"Good," Zayn says, sitting in Liam's seat.

"Excuse me, what the bloody hell are you doing?" I ask, annoyed.

"Getting to know you, is that a crime?" He asks, a little glint in his eyes. I hear Harry snicker, and watch as he flinches from the pain he feels in his nose. Louis reaches over and kisses Harry's nose, throwing a little glare my way.

I shrug my shoulders and try to ignore the three of them, which is hard to do. Harry and Louis flirt louldy behind me, while Zayn is staring holes in my head.

"What do you want!?" I ask, unable to put up with it anymore.

"Well," Zayn sighs, and smiles slyly. "You."
