And All Your Little Things [Niall Horan]

Chapter 51: Coming Out

"I love you." Niall whispers as he kisses me.

I smile and whisper back, "I love you too."

Just as things started to get heated, the doorbell rings. I sigh and roll off the bed, tossing a pair of sweatpants at Niall and throwing one of Niall's shirts on, which goes down to my knees. I go down the stairs to see who's at the door. I look through the peep hole to see Kayla standing outside with a red, tear stained face. I quickly open the door, letting her in. She runs to me and cries into my shoulder. I rub her back then push her away. I grasp her arms, looking into her tear filled eyes. "What happened?" I ask.

She pulls out her phone, taps a couple things, then hands it to me. I look at it and see the title of the Youtube video, 'Coming Out'.

"I kid you not, as soon as I turned on the camera, my heart just like immediately started beating really hard." Connor's voice came through the phone and Kayla went into the living room. I just stand there in awe, not moving at all. I can't believe what I'm watching

"2014 is truly the year that I have accepted who I am and become happy with that person." And in my mind, all I could think was; Oh shit. This cannot be good.

"So today, I want to talk to you guys about that and be open and honest and tell you that I'm gay." I just about dropped the phone. Kayla comes over and takes the phone from me, turning the video off. 

She starts crying into my shoulder again and I rub her back again. I push her away again.

"I'm going to go get dressed, then we're going to talk." I say as Niall comes down the stairs and puts his hands on my shoulders.

"Oh my god! Did I interrupt something?!" She looks at us.

"No. This is much more important." I say heading towards the stairs.

"Wait what happened?" Niall asks, following me.

"I'll tell you in a second." I tell him. He follows me into the bedroom and closes the door behind him.

"So what happened?" He asks me. 

"Connor's gay." I say.

His jaw drops. "Kayla's Connor?"

"Yup." 

"Wow!"

"So I need you to go get two pints of cookie dough ice cream for me. Please." I beg him as I find a pair of pants and quick slip them on.

"Ok, I'll be right back then." He smiles, throwing a shirt over his head and going downstairs. 

I follow him down, but going to the living room instead of out the front door.

"Where's he going?" She asks.

"To get us some ice cream." I smile. 

"So how are you doing with all this?" I ask her.

"He didn't even tell me. Over six years and I found out through YouTube!"

"He didn't even tell you?!" I shout, getting furious.

She shakes her head. "He keeps trying to call me, but I can't talk to him right now."

"He shouldn't be expecting you to talk to him again. If I were you, I would never talk to him again. Ever."

"I can't just cut him out though. We've been together six years! I can't. But I can't talk to him either! I don't know what to do Al!" She breaks down, laying her head on my lap.

"Well, maybe you need to just stay here for a little bit. When you're ready to talk to Connor, you can talk to him. Niall and I are here every step of the way. If you need someone to talk to, never be afraid to come over. No matter what we're doing." I smile.

"Thanks Al." She smiles. 

"No problem Kay." I say as I rub her forehead. We sit like that for about twenty minutes when Niall finally comes back with the ice cream.

I reach out my arm for the ice cream, not wanting to get up with Kayla almost asleep on my lap. He hands me the ice cream and kisses my forehead. 

"How's she doing?" He whispers. 

"About as good as a girl who just found out her boyfriend of six years is gay over YouTube can get." I look up at him.

"I can't believe he didn't tell her." He shakes his head.

"I know. It's ridiculous."

"I don't understand how any man could do that to someone." He says as he goes to the kitchen to put away whatever he bought. I put a pillow under Kayla's head and go into the kitchen with Niall.

"So has he even tried to get ahold of her?" He asks.

"Yes, but she doesn't want to talk to him."

"Heh! I wouldn't either. We should take her to go paintballing or something. Tell her to pretend it's Connor." He chuckles.

"Let's try something a little less painful. Maybe laser tag or to a shooting range. Something where we can't physically get hurt." I say as I scoop into the ice cream.

"Isn't that supposed to be for Kayla?" He asks.

"Why do you think I asked for two instead of one?" I laugh.

"I'm going upstairs to watch the football match. Let me know when you've moved from the girly-let's-cry-and-watch-chick-flicks-while-we-eat-ice-cream stage to the let's shoot something stage." He smiles. "I'd love to help her through the second stage." He says as he goes upstairs with some popcorn and a soda.

"Have fun." I giggle, putting another spoonful of ice cream in my mouth. After about five minutes, Kayla comes out of the living room, grabbing the other cookie dough ice cream out of the fridge and sitting down next to me.

"How you doing?" I ask her.

"Better." She smiles as she removes the lid from the ice cream and digs her spoon in.

"So, Niall wants to take you out to shoot something. When you're ready." 

She laughs, "Well it's about damn time! I wanna shoot something so bad right now!"

A/N

I'm sorry it took so long to update! If you've read my rant in our weekly rant book, you might know that my life is a bit stressful right now. I've been busy and I've had no motivation. But last night I finally had some motivation! I hope you guys like this chapter. Just a filler, so once again, not very good. Hopefully I will be able to stop doing crappy fillers and actually get to something good soon.

Love y'all!
