Chapter 8 - Harry's pov.

"We got you McDonald's breakfast. We drove two miles to get it, so now get up and eat it"

What the hell? 

"IT'S TIME TO GET UP!" 

And with that I felt a heavy body jumping on my bed, trying to wake me up. 

Well thanks, you succeeded.

I sat up straight and yelled: "I'm awake." And mumbled under my breath: "You suckers" 

Nick got off my bed and stood next to Niall, smiling bright with him.

Smiling bright like a diamond. Smiling bright like a diamooooonnnddd. 

My head pounds and I feel like falling back to sleep again. But I guess, McDonald's Breakfast is worth it. I'm a guy after all.

"So why did you guys buy McDonald's breakfast?" My face must have been quite critical because Niall looked a little uncomfortable.

Nick was the first one to speak. "We thought that we should start your first day in our little family with some good breakfast. And Niall here was hungry, which by the way he always is, so yeah we thought why not?" His smile was inviting and the others nodded along with what he just told me.

Wow okay those guys are really nice. Quite a change from what I'm used to. My parents were barely at home and when they were, they would just lay in bed because they were exhausted or work in their home office. Nobody ever made me breakfast in bed except from her.. My parents never felt like doing such a thing for their child, not even on my birthday. It's a shame actually.

"Are you okay? You kinda just zoned out and stared at the wal," a voice said. 

I snapped back into reality. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just thinking about my family and how I never got breakfast in bed or anything like that.." I tried my best to fake a smile and they seemed to believe me cause Niall headed off to the kitchen, Nick nodded understanding and John.. where is John? I haven't seen him yet. Hmm.. 

"Are you coming or do I have to drag you out of bed? Niall has probably already eaten half the food so if I were you I'd hurry," I saw Nick smirking in the doorway.

Oops forgot that he's still here. Well then.. I better get up.

About 5 minutes later all FOUR of us (see what I did there) sat at the table and had some lovely breakfast. Not that there was much left when I got down here. Niall had eaten half the food just like Nick said and the others were trying to protect their food from a still hungry Niall. That guy seems to eat a lot of food. I like him. 

I looked around the table and thought about a way to start some small talk. "So.. what are you guys up too today?" "I'm going to the mall and buy some new food," Niall said with his mouth full. Nick laughed at his silliness. "I think I will just chill here a little. And you, John and Harry?" "Visit an old friend." He didn't even look up from his plate while he mumbled those words. "I really want to check out the city, you know.. do some sight-seeing." 

Secretly I was hoping that one of the guys could give me a tour or something...

"Cool mate, I could show you some pretty sick places if you want me to?" 

I eyed Nick and had to grin at his excitement. Just like a little kid that want's to show his mummy a really cool action figure he just discovered.

-------

Today was a pretty  exhausting day. First, Me and Nick went to Starbucks to get us some Coffee and a Muffin, yes a Muffin I love muffins okay? Then after that he showed me around in the city. I had no idea it was that big so we ended up being on the go the whole day. Nick showed me 2 clubs he and his friends like to party at, I think one was called "Funky Buddha" or something like that. Then he took me to a nice little restaurant in a not so crowded street, away from the tourists to get us a sandwich. They were quite nice actually so I think I might go there more often. We also visited a friend of his, Taylor, weird guy but I kinda liked him. He offered us some weird ass tea and some self made cookies. Delicious. Anyway.. After we said goodbye to his weird friend, we went to a few shops that he liked and recommended me the best places to buy clothes and shoes. Then, when it started to get dark, we drove here. 

"This place is awesome! How did you find it?" My mouth stood wide open and it took me a minute to let the view in front of me sink in. We were at the edge of the city and because it was already dark we  could see Seattle and its beautiful lights at night. It was breathtaking. When I think of the river in Silverdale and how I thought it was the prettiest thing in the world it makes me laugh at myself. 

Nick gave me a smile and sat down on the front of his car. He made a gesture to tell me to sit next to him. I smiled back and sat down. We sat there in pure silence for a few minutes before I heard Nick sighting. 

"I have to tell you something..."

I frowned. "Sure, what's going on?"

He took a deep breath, "I'm gay." As soon as the words were spoken he lowered his head and looked at the ground.

For a moment I didn't know how to react but didn't wanted to make him feel bad... Hmm. What do you even say to something like that? 

"Okay."

"Okay? What do you mean okay? Don't you hate me now?" He looked at me in disbelieve.

I had to hold in a laugh. "No? Of course not. It's just a normal thing. You like another gender than I do, so what? That only means I have one less competitor and I'm perfectly fine with that," I grinned.

I could see him relax and he shoot me a thankful smile. "You are the first one to take it that easy, you know.. Some of my best friends even turned on me cause they thought I was in love with them.. Even my own parents didn't talk to me for months until they finally excepted it."

How can people be so mean? Turn on your best friend and not talk to your own child. That's just heartless. 

"I'm not like that. I mean, I don't know you for that long now, but one thing I know is that you're a correct guy so I wouldn't dare turn on you or anything like that."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

 QOTD: McDonalds or Burger King?
