Harry's POV
"Harry," he mumbled, "I'm ready to talk."
I was speechless. Liam was ready to talk? He sounded so nervous and worried that I was almost afraid of what he was going to tell me. Was he going to bash Louis and I more for our love, although he didn't know our love was real yet? Thoughts were swirling around my head and suddenly I heard a loud sigh on the other end of the line.
"Harry?" He asked, quietly.
"R-really?" I stammered.
"Y-yeah," he said.
"Great," I smiled, "do you want to come over? Louis is here too, is that okay?"
"It's fine," he sighed, "I'll be over soon."
"Okay," I said, "I'll see you later."
I put the phone down and walked into the kitchen. I smiled as I saw Louis and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed his ear and he let out a soft moan. He turned to capture my lips in a kiss, but I stepped backwards.
"Did I do something wrong, love?" He frowned.
"Not at all," I smiled, "it's just I don't want to start something we can't finish."
"Why couldn't we finish it?"
"Because I just got a call from Liam. He said he's ready to talk and he's on his way over."
"Wonderful," Louis smiled, "we should probably have breakfast ready for everyone."
I nodded and Louis and I set to work making eggs and bacon. Of course we had to restart the bacon after Louis somehow managed to burn it. I laughed as Louis frowned over the burnt bacon. He really didn't know how to cook and I thought it was adorable. Once we finished breakfast we put all our food on our coffee table, along with some tea, and turned the tv on. Not even a moment later the doorbell rang. I let out a nervous breath and went to answer the door. This is it, I'm about to find out what's wrong with Liam. I opened the door and Liam gave me a nervous smile.
"Hey," I mumbled, "come on in. We have breakfast on the coffee table."
"T-thanks," he said.
"No problem," smiled, "I'm just happy you're ready to talk."
We sat at the coffee table and enjoyed our breakfast. We kept the conversation light at first, not wanting to ruin breakfast. We talked about all of our funny moments on tour. The time Louis' shirt popped open, the multiple times we had bras thrown at us, and when the boys decided to rip my shirt open. We laughed and joked, but eventually we finished our breakfast. I put the plates in the kitchen and walked back into the living room. I sat down, nervously, and waited for Liam to begin.
"So, um, I suppose I've been a little prejudiced lately," ha started, "and I believe you guys deserve an explanation."
"Yeah," I muttered, "I believe we do to."
"Well, you should know that I'm really not against gay couple," he said.
"Could've fooled me," Louis sighed.
"I know," Liam said, "and I'm sorry. I just... I don't know. By the way I know you two are together, for real."
"H-how did you know?" I asked.
"Come on," Liam rolled his eyes, "it's so obvious. The way you look at each other, hug, and kiss. Love just radiates off of you."
"And are you okay with us?" Louis asked, "Or do you hate us now?"
"I would never hate you," Liam said, "if I did I would be a huge hypocrite."
He had whispered the last part, but Louis and I heard him. Our eyes widened in shock. He didn't mean? No, he couldn't be.
"Liam," I whispered, "are you-"
"Yes Harry," he said, "I'm gay."
"B-but you were the one bashing us for being gay," Louis said, "why'd you do that if you're gay?"
"Because," Liam frowned, "when I was 15 I told one of my friends I was gay. He told me I was a disgusting person who deserved to die, and never spoke to me again. Ever since I've been absolutely disgusted with myself and whenever someone brings up the topic of gays I bash it so that I don't have to think about the fact that I am one and start to hate myself again."
"Oh Liam," I sighed, "I'm so sorry."
"Yeah that's really tough mate," Louis said, "I can't imagine if one of you guys hated us because we were gay, but then again that's kind of how I felt when you started bashing us."
"I really am sorry about that," Liam sighed, "I just hate it so much. I feel dirty and disgusting, but I can't help who I am attracted to."
"That's what you have to keep telling yourself mate," I smiled, "you can't help who you are attracted to and if some jerk tells you you're disgusting then they aren't really your friend."
"Very true," he smiled.
"Who else knows you're gay?" Louis asked.
"Well, that one exfriend and you two," he mumbled.
"What about your family?" I asked.
"They, erm, they don't know," he said.
I looked at him in shock. I couldn't believe he would trust us with something he hadn't even trusted his own family with.
"You know you should tell them," Louis said.
"Have you told your parents about you two?" Liam asked, eyebrows raised.
"Well," I said, "my mum knew that I had a crush on Louis, but she doesn't know we are officially dating."
"Likewise," Louis smiled.
"I'll make you two a deal," Liam said, "I'll call my mum right now and tell her if you two call your mums and tell them you are really together."
Louis and I looked into each others eyes and smiled.
"Deal," we said together.
We dialed our mums numbers and put them on speaker, figuring we could talk to both at once.
***Phone conversation***
"Hello?" Our mums said at the same time.
"Anne is that you?" Jay asked.
"Yes, hi Jay," my mum said, "I thought it was my son who called."
"It was mum," I laughed, "we just called both of you at the same time so that we could make an annoucment."
"Ooooh," our mums ssmiled.
"So, you both know that we were dared by Liam to fake date," Louis said.
"Yes," Jay smiled, "is this going where I hope it's going?"
"Please say it is," my mum smiled.
"Are you asking if we are really dating?" Louis asked.
"I am indeed."
"Well," I said, "the answer to that question is..."
Louis and I finished the sentance together, "yes!"
Our mums errupted in squeals and giggles and the three of us burst out laughing.
"Is that Liam?" Jay asked.
"Yeah," Liam said, "Hi Jay, hi Anne."
"Hello Liam," our mums chorused.
"Thank you so much for finally getting Louis and Harry to realize that they were in love," Jay said.
"Yes," mum agreed, "thank you!"
Liam laughed, "don't thank me. They would have figured it out on their own eventually."
"Very true," mum said, "but thank you none the less."
"Mum," I said, "will you please tell Gemma for me?"
"Oh, will you tell the girls for me too?" Louis asked.
"Of course," our mums said.
We both mumbled a 'thanks and I love you' and hung up the phone.
"Alright Liam," I said, "your turn."
"I don't know about this guys," he said.
"No buts Liam," Louis said, "we called and told our mums now it's your turn for you to call yours."
"Fine," Liam grumbled.
***New Phone Conversation***
"Hello Liam," Karen smiled.
"H-h-hi mum," he mumbled.
"Baby what's wrong?"
"I have something I need to tell you," he said, "please, please, don't hate me."
"Sweety I could never hate you," she sighed, "what makes you think I ever would?"
"Because I-I-I'm disgusting."
"Now why would you ever think that?" Karen asked.
"Do you remember when I was 15 and I told Allan something and he completely shunned me?" I asked.
"Yes I remember," she frowned, "you were depressed for months and you came home crying."
"Well, I'm ready to tell you what I told him."
"Oh, sweety that makes me so happy. Go on please tell me," she said.
"Well, mum, I-I-I can't do this."
"Please Liam I promise I won't hate you."
"Okay. Here goes. Mum I-I'm g-gay."
There was a pause for a moment and then, "oh sweety I'm so happy for you."
"W-what," he stuttered, "r-really?"
"Yes," she smiled, "I mean, I've always had a suspicion. Especially the way you look at...nevermind. Just know that I am so happy for you."
"Thanks mum," Liam said, tears in his eyes, "I love you so much. Could you tell Nicola and Ruth for me? I don't think I can handle saying it again."
"Of course sweety, " she smiled, "I have to go now, but I love you. Remember be proud of who you are!"
"Thanks mum," Liam smiled, "I love you. Bye."
***End of Phone Conversation***
"That went very well," Louis said.
"It did," Liam sniffled.
"I hate to ruin a happy moment, but what did your mum mean by 'the way you look at'?" I asked.
"About that," Liam mumbled, "I have another announcement.
"Well, go on mate," Louis said.
Liam took a deep breath. Finally he said,
"I like Niall."
Sorry if this chapter had a lot of conversation, but I wanted to get the 'coming out' to their families done. Hope you liked Liam's suprise. Thanks for reading! Bye jellybean's.
