Just Trust Me || n.h. (EDITING IN PROGRESS)

A longer chapter since I made yall wait a while again! Enjoy :)

I proofread while writing but not once I was completly done, so if there are errors I'm sorry but I have to get up really early to go help my brother so I have to go to bed earlier than normal. I'll go back and proofread later.

Niall's P.O.V.

When we enter Tatum's house, I hear her mom from another room.

"Tatum I'm in the kitchen."

Tatum turns to me and grabs my hand and starts to walk backwards gesturing me to follow her then walking normally leading me into the kitchen.

"Hey mom."

"Hi sweetie. Dinner is almost-" she starts to say until she looks up and spots me. "Niall? Hi! Tatum didn't tell me you were coming over." She gives a look to Tatum and Tatum just shrugs.

"Oh well if it's too much trouble I don't have to stay," I tell her because I don't want to intrude.

"Don't be silly!" She walks over to me while wiping her hands off on the hand towel she has. "You are welcome here anytime," she says as she hugs me. "Give me a heads up next time." She hits Tatum with the towel causing her to laugh which makes me smile.

"I decided when he walked me to the door to invite him to come inside. Besides we have our project due next week so we can work on it some while he's here." Her mom just shakes her head and smiles. "While you finish dinner I'm going to show Niall the house."

Tatum grabs my hand and pulls me out of the kitchen. "I like your mom. She is really nice."

"Yeah she is definitely my best friend considering she was the only one who I talked to the last few years. I can always count on her."

"That's great that you have someone like that in your life." We are now heading up the stairs.

"What about your parents? Where are they?"

"They moved back to Ireland." She stops infront of a door which I'm assuming is her room.

"Why didn't you go back with them?"

"I wanted to finish out school. And I really like it here. Of course Ireland will always be home but I had made a new life here and I didn't want to leave it."

"I know what that's like. You have any siblings?" she says as she opens the door we have been standing infront of.

"Yeah I have a brother. His name is Greg and he is married with a child."

"Do you still keep in touch with your family?" She sits on her bed and I join her.

"All the time! I go back home on holidays." I look at her and lightly laugh. "You're asking a lot of questions."

"Well I'm wanting to get to know you better, especially since you know a lot about me now."

"Oh I don't mind it I was just saying." I get up and walk around her room. "You're room is really big but you don't have much in it."

"Well we couldn't take much with us when we left my dad and having to move so much made it where we didn't have a lot of money but it's okay. My mom has a really good job now and we aren't struggling but I'm also not one who needs a lot of material things."

"That's good. I didn't peg you as the type of girl that loves to shop and wants everything they can get their hands on." She gets up and walks over to stand next to me by her bookshelf.
