But that vow is put to the test when Liam Payne enrolls at his school. Feelings arise. Liam has made it clear from the start that he wants Niall. But Niall isn't giving in.

He won't because he doesn't want to lose his best friend. He doesn't want to ruin his image and he especially doesn't want to ruin anything that all of the other lads have come so far to make of One Direction. So he does what he has to do. He keeps it hidden. He keeps it locked away. Making sure that everything stays the same. But deep down, he's breaking. ********* Just thought that you guys should know: This story is Rated PG-13 Contains: Mild Violence, Language, Sexual Content (Future chapters) Pairings: Niam, Larry, Ziall, Diam (Danielle and Liam?), Zerrie, Elounor, Zanielle <<< This story is completed >>> :)
