Niall's P.O.V:

"What the fuçking HELL, LIAM?!"

Both me and Liam shot up instantly in surprise of the booming voice. In the doorway of the bedroom stood a tall man with black hair, wearing a suit.

"D-Dad?" Liam questioned with a hoarse voice.

"I didn't know you would be here, and here you are with another boy in bed?!"

"D-Dad I meant to tell you-"

"No! I'm going out for business. I will be back in an hour, and by that time I expect you both to be fully dressed in the living room. We need to talk." He said sternly before leaving.

"Li?" I asked.

"Oh my God Niall I am so sorry. I had no idea he would be here!" Liam said with a worried look.

"It's okay. We'll talk to him, it'll be okay. He'll understand. I mean, you were in different countries, you can't tell him about everything, right?" I encouraged my boyfriend.

"No, it's...it's...your wrist...he won't like the fact that you..."

I sighed. "It'll be okay." I whispered and kissed his soft lips. "Right?"

"Right."

*************

"Dad, I'm sorry." Liam apologized. We were sat at the island in the kitchen, me and Liam on one side and his father on the opposite.

"I understand. When we're in different countries, it's very hard to communicate and I just want to make that better. We need to improve our relationship, we can work on that." He turned to me. "Now, I couldn't introduce myself earlier." He chuckled. "I am Michael, Liam's father." He said, extending his left arm. Why did it have to be his left arm? Why?

"Nice to meet you. I am Niall." I said, greeting him hesitantly with my left arm.

He looked down at my covered wrist. "Ummmm..."

Liam stepped in: "Niall covers his tattoo. He doesn't want to feel under pressure of the system and doesn't want his life to be ruled by this one thing." Liam said, his voice getting quiet towards the end, as he saw his dad's face darken.

"That is not acceptable!" He shouted. "There is a reason for this! You cannot simply go against the whole system! My son deserves to know that his partner loves him!"

"I do Dad! That's what words are for!" Liam unexpectedly barked back.

"No! I do not accept this! Your relationship with this boy is to be terminated right this moment!" Liam's father responded, as if I wasn't right there.

"No!" Liam scoffed. "You can't decide on my relationships!"

"To hell I can! I'm your father! What does your mother think about this?!"

"She's happy as long as I am, which is what a parent should be like!"

"Don't you dare criticise me! You are not going to have a relationship with someone who doesn't care about your love!"

At this point, I'd had enough, and ran out of the apartment, throwing on my shoes. Once I made it outside, I realized it was freezing, and clutched my arms around myself.

What would happen to me and Liam now? Would he leave me? I wouldn't be surprised. Everything his dad said was true: I couldn't really give him my love, he could never be as happy and satisfied as he should be, as he deserved to be. The worst thing was that I loved Liam so much, and now he had to leave. The only person that I ever had these feelings for would go. My love wouldn't matter any more, if I was going to be giving my love to someone other than Liam, I might as well not bother.

I would go back to Mullingar, but God knows how. I didn't have any money. All I had was the e-mail with the tickets on my phone in my pocket. How I would get to the airport I had no idea.

Why did Liam's dad have to get here exactly at that point? Fuçking coincidences.

"Niall!" I heard from behind me. I had walked down the road with the apartments for a while, but stopped at a bench, realizing I had nowhere to go.

"Niall!" I looked around to see Liam running to me, and stood up.

"Niall." He sighed, approaching me.

"Liam? Wh-why are you-"

"I'm sorry, Ni. I never meant for that to happen, I had no idea it could!"

"B-but your dad..."

"Oh screw him! I love you, right?" He laughed. "And that's all I care about, YOU'RE all I care about. I love you with all my heart, and I respect your will and whatever you do, I will be there with you, supporting you. I promise that not even my dad can get in our way. I love you okay?"

"Really?" I said, with a lone tear strolling down my cheek.

"Really." He said, planting a kiss on my lips.
