Chapter 4:
Liam POV
It’s been 3 days since I met this incredible blonde boy named Niall and I feel like I’ve known him my whole life! We had almost every class together except math. I can see what Niall was talking about in the auditorium, no one likes him, that think he’s some kind of freak but in know he’s not and I don’t pay attention to them.
I was at my locker Tuesday morning waiting for Danielle to come and give me her daily Hello and give me a hug. I really fancied her and the play was only going to make it better! I get to kiss her! I didn’t see Niall walk into school today and I’ve realized he has to kiss Mel. Not that I’m mad but they just met, at least me and Danielle have known each other for a week now.
‘I have to talk to you’ an Irish accent called behind me. ‘About what?’ I say knowing it was Niall. He dragged me into the bathroom and was upset about not seeing Danielle. But talking to Niall was always something fun to do especially now when he’s nervous and jumpy.
‘I don’t plan on looking over the fact that I have to kiss your cousin and I’m sure you’re going to just keep an eye out for me but there’s something more important’ he whispers. ‘I have this bully his name is Justin and he’s been shoving me into lockers since 6th grade, this is the kind of stuff I warned you about, so before we continue being mates I need to know…why out of everyone in this school did you choose me?’ I felt like I had to tell him I love him or something, I don’t know why he’s making this complicated. Does he not know he is an amazing person with a shy yet unique personality?
‘Look Nialler, I’m going to say this once and that’s it’ he nodded ‘You out of all these ridiculous, stereo-typed, labeled people, is the only person that actually makes me feel comfortable. I don’t have to hide who I am with you, I can sing and you’ll sing alone, I can make an ugly face and you’ll make an uglier one, if I’m down like I was yesterday after burning the cookies at your house, I know you’ll make me feel better, and that’s exactly what you did by going out and buying everything we needed to make them again. You care Niall and know that I care about you too. I feel like I’ve known you my whole life and no one is going to stop me from being the best friends I know you truly want.’
Niall had basically let out everything to me yesterday at his house, he told me his whole life, and I felt bad. Why should someone as nice and innocent as Niall have to be treated badly just because he doesn’t fit in. He thinks no one cares, but I do and I always will.
He realized what I said and probably remembered about talking to me yesterday. There were tears in his eyes but he refused to let them out. He was putting up barriers and there was only one way to break them down.
Niall’s POV
He slowly reached over and caught me into a hug, putting all my weight on him and letting me put my arms around his neck.
‘Thanks, Li’ I said honestly it was something I needed. He knew ever since Saturday that a hug always made me feel better after Harry had screamed some shit at me for not giving him the part in the play. I don’t know why he doesn’t like me, him and the whole student body except Li, Mel and Dani. We hung out all day Saturday and Sunday too. Getting to know each other. My mom was shocked when I brought Liam home yesterday she thought it was for some kind of project. He went up and introduced himself. She just smiled the whole time.
I heard the buzz of Liam’s cell phone and I could automatically tell by his facial expression that it was Dani. ‘Just ask her out’ giving him a light punch in the arm. Little did I know he was going to take me seriously!
Saturday was rehearsals again, I got up took a shower and got dressed. I knew Mel was going to be there so I dressed nice, a white t-shirt with an open blue button down shirt over it with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, black skinny jeans, and blue supras to match my shirt. Mom was still asleep so I had to make myself breakfast, I was about to turn on the oven when my cell phone rang…it was Liam.
-Hello?
-Hey Nialler!
-Hey Li, whats up?
-I’m buying breakfast from Mc Donalds so don’t make yourself anything, ok? Just wait until 9
-Liam are you crazy? Im hungry as hell!!
-Just do as I say!!
I heard him laugh before hanging up. I was still going to pass by the candy shop and get some M and M’s, not even Liam can make me stop eating!
I get to school and as usual I’m early, a little too early its 8:15 just like last week. I decide to get on stage and rehearse myself. The ending song that the whole cast sings is Some Nights by FUN. It was an amazing song and I had the back track on my IPod, I plug it into the speaker and grab a mic. I look around to see if Liam was there and I can’t see anyone.
‘I guess this one’s a solo’ I say into my mic and get ready as the melody starts to play.
