Chapter 5

Liam's POV

"Why?" Was the only thing I could think of saying at this point.

I don’t know." He said.

"Why did you do it?"

"I felt like I needed to.”

"What?! You are my best friend and I can't lose you!" I said.

"Where's that girl?" He asked suddenly asked.

"Which one?"

"The one you had a date with."

"When did I-? Oh!"

"Yeah. Where is she?"

"Uh. Things didn't work out."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. Niall, how long do you think you were asleep?"

"I don’t know. A couple of days. Why?"

I gasped.

"Niall, you were in a coma for almost three months." I said.

"What?!"

"Your body was too weak to recover since you don't eat." I said.

"Oh."

“What did the doctor’s have to talk to you about?” I asked him.

“Well they just asked me how I was feeling and asked me why I cut myself.”

“What did you tell them?” I asked slowly.

“Liam, if I wanted to tell you before, I would have. Just drop it.” He snapped. I sighed, suddenly finding my fingers interesting.

“It’s this guy.” He whispered so silently I almost missed it.

“What about this guy?”

“I really like this guy and he is so oblivious it’s annoying. At first it was cute, but now it’s frustrating.” I felt my heart shatter. Niall liked someone else.

If it wasn’t evident already, I liked Niall. I am gay, but the only ones who know are the lads. Not even my parents know. When Niall told me last night he was gay I felt my stomach flip at the fact that I might have a chance, but why would I have a chance with a boy this amazing?

“What’s the guy’s name?” I ask.

“None of your business.” He suddenly snapped.

“Does he go to our school?”

“Yeah.”

“Do I know him?”

“Yes.” I thought of all the people I know. The only people I really knew where the lads and Niall.

“Is it one of the lads?” I felt my stomach flip as he nodded.

“Is it Lou?” I asked softly. I was strangely relieved when he shook his head.

“Haz? I know how he was your friend and all?” Another no.

“Zayn?” No.

“Is…is it me?” I asked, slightly shocked. If this was a joke I’m going to kill him. I watched as his eyes fluttered closed, squeezing tightly shut. He was nodding. I couldn’t help but grin.

“Ni?” He didn’t look at me.

“Niall, look at me.” Still nothing.

“Niall, please.” My breath caught in my throat as he revealed his bright blue eyes that were now shimmering with tears.

“Oh, Niall. Come ‘ere.” I said, pulling him into a hug. I slowly started to feel his tears seeping through my shirt, but I didn’t care. Niall likes me. He really likes me! I pulled back and looked into his eyes. A tear fell out of his right eye and I quickly swiped it away with my thumb. I reached over to grab a paper towel and I wiped off the drying tear streaks.

“Shhh. Why are you crying?” He shook his head.

“Niall. Stop it.” His crying stopped, but the tears were still falling and his breath was uneven. I pulled him into another hug and we stayed like that. Eventually, the tears stopped falling and his breath turned into quiet hiccupping. I pulled away from him and tried to look him in the eyes but he refused to look at me. I grabbed his chin in my hand and lifted his face to mine and he closed his eyes. I licked my lips and I leaned in. I ghosted my lips over his, reveling in the fact that his breathing hitched and he held his breath. I slowly pressed my lips to his and I had to pull back quickly because the sparks that were shooting around inside me were too much. I knew he had felt them when he gasped against my mouth.

“I like you too, Niall.” I whispered. I watched as his eyes flew open, searching mine for any signs of lying. When he found none, he started to grin his wide adorably crooked grin.

“I didn’t know you were gay.” He whispered.

“Honestly, it’s a pretty new thing. I think I found out when I found you in the bathroom.” His grin became even bigger and I pulled him into another hug.

“Niall?” I asked him as I pulled away from the hug.

“Yeah, Li?”

“Niall Horan, would you do me the incredible honor of becoming my boyfriend?” I asked him, smiling myself.

“Y-Yes!” He cried, hugging me again. I smiled the biggest smile I ever had and I could have sworn I felt my face crack.

“How are we going to tell the boys?” He suddenly asked me.

“Well, we could just make out right in front of them?” I suggested. I was being sarcastic and the look on Niall’s face after I told him this was priceless. I was a mixture of shock and horror. “I was kidding!” I said quickly after seeing his face. It instantly relaxed.

“Well I could call them and tell them to come see you since you’re awake now. We could tell them when they get here?” I suggested. He agreed and I called the boys.

Sorry again about the suckish chapter. My "therapist" (she's just a really good friend) has been worried about me triggering myself (which has happened) while writing this story, and again when editing. So, if the updates don't come as quick as I hope, I'm sorry. I'll try to update at least once a week. I might get up to twice a week.
