Niall has always been special. They called him different, strange, diseased. But he had visited many doctors, and none of them diagnosed him with anything. Niall was just scared, all the time. Paranoid, some people may call it. He swore there were monsters out to get him, and constantly lived his life in fear, never having the guts to tell anyone what was really happening to him. Until he meets Zayn. Zayn Malik has many frightening features himself. But will he be able to get Niall to loosen up, and for once in his life actually face the monsters who have made his life hell?

He watches him. And every time he does, his heart does a little leap. He looks away, hoping he didn't notice. He makes sure to hide it from him. Everyday, 24/7. That's how it is for Niall Horan. He hides his feelings for his best mate by laughing it off and acting like everything is alright. But deep inside, it's not. Niall wants to tell him. So bad. But he doesn't. 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 >>> :)
