Zayn's Pov:

I spent so long being afraid. Being worried about what other people would think. I was scared of what my heart was feeling. I tried ignoring it. Tried telling it to feel something different, But it wouldn't. No matter how much I tried it wouldn't change a thing. I wanted Niall and nothing I did stopped my heart from wanting him. I haven't told Niall this, But his strength amazes me. He had a hard time coming out, Mainly because of me, But he kept this head held high and didn't run away from anything. He stood tall even when people ganged up on him. He refuses to let anyone make him feel ashamed about what he is. I admire that, I admire him. I've always loved Niall. Maybe not the way I do now, But I've always loved and wanted nothing but happiness for him. When we were growing up, I'd always say to him the person who wins his heart is the luckiest person on this earth, I had no idea back then that the person would be me. It's been a long road. A road full of complications, But they say true love makes it through even the hardest times. I'm not claiming that sayings true, But Niall and I made it through this and everyday we grow stronger, That has to mean something dosen't it? At least in my eyes it does. 

"You sure about this?" Niall asked as we pulled up to the school, I slowly nodded my head. It's our final exam today and everyones here to sit it. It's the perfect time for everyone to find out Niall and I are together. 

"Yeah, I'm sure. After today we never have to see half these guys again no more running" I replied, Niall took hold of my hand giving it a gentle squeeze. "As long as I got you beside me I know I can do this" Niall squeezed my hand again as I spoke. 

"Always been right here. Always will be" He said, I smiled warmly at him, It's true, He has always been right here for me. 

"I know. Come on don't wanna be late" I said before unbuckling my seatbelt, Niall did the same and we then exited the car, Closing the doors behind us. As we walked to the exam hall I quickly placed my arm around Niall, He grinned before happily placing his arm around my waist. We walked past various students and they looked at us with raised eyebrows. Niall and I had always been close everyone knew that, But everyone could tell something was different now. My eyes quickly landed on the lads, Cher and Demi, All of them had the same look on there faces. The what's going on look. 

The exam ended quickly. It seemed like the hour and a half just flew by. As you exited the hall you could hear students cheering loudly, It was finally over. I leaned against the wall waiting for Niall to come out, When he did I opened my arms and he walked straight into my embrace, I placed a kiss to his forehead. 

"I love you" I said, Niall smiled.

"I love you too" He replied. 

"Well well, What do we have here? Malik you a queer aswell now? Hey Rod looks like I owe you that twenty mate" Cal's teasing voice filled my ears, I looked up to see him stood there with a smirk on his face. "Look everyone, Malik's a dirty little gay boy!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, Everyone began to gather around us. 

"Why don't you shut up Cal? Do everyone a favour" Niall said.

"What' you say Horan?" I held Niall closer to me as he spoke.

"Are you deaf aswell as ignorant? I said why don't you shut up and do everyone a favour, Pretty sure I'm not the only that's sick of your voice" Niall replied, Cal moved forward and balled his hand into a fist. 

"Don't even think of touching him!" I warned him. 

"Yeah you touch him you'll be on your ass faster then you can throw that punch" I heard Cher say. 

"Agreed" Louis added.

"Numbers aren't exactly in your favour are they?" Harry asked with a cheeky smile.

"So I suggest you back off" Liam stated. 

"Oh look the queers have an army" Cal chuckled. "They aren't always gonna be around. I'll get the both of you eventually, I got Niall already? Remember Zayn? You walked away while I dealt with him" My jaw clenched at the memory. "People like you don't deserve to breathe" Cal spat. 

"People like us? What are we exactly? Were humans just like you are. We fall inlove and that's exactly what we've done. What's so wrong with that? What can't you stomach about that eh?" Niall asked.

"What's wrong with it? You really asking that, Listen boy it's men with women, Not men with men or women with women".

"What century are you living in?" I heard Demi's voice. "This isin't the stone age anymore, Every single one of us has a right. A right to breathe, A right to think" Demi looked at Niall and I. "A right to fall inlove with whoever we want regardless of gender" Demi looked back at Cal. "You can't make someone love you when they just don't. What are Niall and Zayn guilty of? Apart from falling inlove why are they guilty to you? Yeah sure Zayn cheated and they both lied. But it was me they did it to, I'm the only one who has a right to hate them for what they've done, And I don't. I don't because I can't. I can't hate Zayn for falling inlove with somebody. It's the same way none of you can hate him for it" Demi stated. "You stand here thinking your a big man, Running your mouth, What gives you the right to judge them? You think beating someone up cause they don't like girls is gonna make a difference? Because it dosen't! You can't beat the love out of them!" Demi spat. 

"No matter what you do it won't change anything" I spoke up all eyes were now on me. "When Niall came out I didn't wanna know him. I guess I thought the same way all of you do, But I came to realize something. I realized he's still Niall, He's still my Niall. I fell inlove with him and no matter what I did to try and stop it happening, I couldn't. He makes me happy and I feel safe with him. Without him I'm miserable, And I won't be without him just to please people like you. If you wanna beat me up go ahead and do it, I won't even fight back. But it won't make a difference, By the end of it I'll just be left with cuts and bruises that'll heal, My love for Niall will still be there, I'll still love him no matter what you do" I looked down at Niall and then back up. "I love Niall if you don't like it, Or you don't approve then that's your problem not mine" I stated, Niall and I then walked away from the crowd. When we were as far away as possible I took a deep breath and Niall pulled me straight into his arms. We stood embracing for a few minutes before Niall's phone vibrated inside his pocket. Niall pulled it out and read the text, A chuckle left his lips. 

"What?" I questioned, Niall held up the phone. "How could you keep that from me?! Zayn you finally grew a bollocks congratulations! Seriously so proud of you guys, Meet up tomorrow and give us all the details, well not all of them! Oh Zayn if you hurt him again or ever make him cry tears that aren't happy ones a cut and a bruise are gonna be the last of your worries. Love you guys!" I read the text out loud. "Well Cher's blunt" I replied, Niall laughed loudly. 

"Come on let's go back to mine".

I leaned down and pressed my lips softly against Niall's, He smiled against my lips before returning the kiss. We pulled away moments later with smiles on both our faces. 

"All this is real right? I mean I'm not dreaming" Niall commented, I chuckled while shaking my head. 

"It's all real. Everyone knows about us" I assured him, The smile on Niall's face made my insides scream with happiness. 

"No more hiding" He said, I smiled. 

"Thankyou for loving me even when I was being a complete coward" Niall smiled. "I never deserved the love you gave me, And even after I caused you so much pain you still loved me"

"You were my first real everything Zayn. The first person I fell madly inlove with and couldn't forget" Niall replied. 

"Hopefully I'll be the last too" I said, Niall smiled. 

"I love you so much" I stated. 

"I love you too" Niall replied before pressing his lips against mine once again. Niall's the first and only man I've ever loved. He's the only person I ever want to hold in my arms, The only person I want to kiss. Will we spend the rest of our lives together? I hope so. The only thing I know for certain is the way I feel. I love Niall and after everything I put him through I'm going to make sure he knows it everyday that were together. I fell inlove with my bestfriend and although the future is uncertain, I know I never want to be without him and I'll never mess things up again. I denied how I felt for so long but now I'm the happiest I've ever been. It's my life and I choose to be with Niall. People have opinions but they don't truly matter, The only thing that matters is the way I feel. I love Niall and that's all that matters.
