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

Chapter 7

We arrive at the bowling alley, Louis and Harry jump out of the car, avoiding Liam at all costs. I get out and loop my arm through his, he gives me a sad smile. Zayn walks ahead of us, trying to catch up with the stupid couple.

"Thanks for this, Niall." Liam whispers. "But, what happened, yesterday they wanted to kill you and today they're throwing themselves at you."

"Some stuff happened in homeroom, Harry forgave me. Louis was only mad because of Harry, but he got over it. Zayn didn't hate me from the beginning. I only agreed to come to this stupid bowling thing for you, LiLi." I say, sighing. The things I do for this guy.

"Niall, you don't have to do to much for me. Especially not if you hate these guys." Liam releases my arm as we walk through the doors.

"I only hate them for what they put you through, and if you can forgive them, I can try too." I tell him, walking a little in front of him.

"You are too good of a friend to me." Liam whispers.

"I'm not doing this because we're friends." I say, feeling my ears get heated.

"Niall...." Liam tries to speak, but is cut off.

"Ni!" Harry jumps on my shoulders, Louis stomps toward me with a face of mock anger. "Ni, get off my Hazza!"

"Why?" I say, playing along. "Can't you see how in love we are?"

"What!?" Louis starts to 'cry', going all out on our little pretend fight.

Zayn walks toward us, bowling shoes in his hand. "Wait, Harry, you can't have Niall."

He hands me a pair of shoes, I look down and realize he got the size right. Then he passes shoes to everyone else, Liam included.

"Why not?" Harry sighs, getting off my back. Zayn pulls me by the arm, causing me to fly into his chest. He smiles down at me.

"Because, I called dibs." He pulls me towards our game. Liam looks at the floor as he puts his shoes on, his face red with embarrassment.

We all pick eachother's names for the game board.

Zayn picks Harry's : Hazza.

Harry picks Louis' : BooBear.

Liam picks mine. : Nialler.

I pick Liam's : Leeyum.

Louis picks Zayn's : Dj Malik.

"Dj Malik?" I laugh, holding my stomach.

"Hey, all day, all night, all day, all night. Dj Malik!" Zayn pumps his fists in the air, laughing. I look over to see Liam actually smiling brightly.

Liam's P.O.V

I smile at Zayn's attempt to be DJ Malik again, it's the first time I have seen it in months. I really miss these guys, I'm glad to have the opportunity to be with them again, even if all they want is Niall.

I look over to Niall who is doubled over laughing at Zayn, I watch as Zayn looks at him as if he is the only person in the world.

Is Zayn in love with Niall? My heart hurts, I shake my head, trying to get rid of the feelings trying to take over. I am not jealous, I am not in love with Niall.

Louis walks over to me, dragging an unwilling Harry along with him. Louis hands me a ball.

"You're up first, LiLi." Louis says, trying to smile at me. I nod, taking the ball.

"Thank you." I say, "And not just for the ball."

"Don't thank us." Harry grumbles. "Thank Niall. All he has done since we met him was protect you, talk about you, hang out with you. He only came with us because of you. He does so much for you, and you under appreciate him. I don't forgive you yet, but to see that smile on Zayn's face, I will try."
