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

McKenzie's P.O.V.

I'm woken up by my ringtone. I look at the clock on my nightstand to see that it is 9 in the morning. Who is calling me this early on a Saturday? When I pick up my phone, I see a name I haven't seen appear on my screen in a long time. As I answer it, a smile creeps on my face.

"Niall? Hello, it's been a while."

"Hi McKenzie. Yes it has. How have you been?" I have missed hearing his voice. I hate that because of what happened to me I couldn't hang out with Niall as often because that's all I can think about most of the time when I see him.

"I am well. And you? I see that you have become friends with the new girl."

"Yeah I did but we are more than friends..."

"Wait what?!" I basically scream.

"Woah Mac, don't make me go deaf!" Niall laughs.

"Oops sorry. But I saw her with Harry yesterday in the haunted house."

"Yeah about that."

"Is he?" I can't even finish that question because I know what he is doing. Niall sighs.

"I need your help. Tatum said she saw you and she knows what you look like because she saw the picture of us in my place."

"You still have that picture?"

"Of course. You're still my best friend." I smile to myself.

"Ok so what else is there that you need to tell me?"

"Well she said you gave her an apologetic look and she started thinking-"

"Thinking that I was one of his many girls he played," I cut Niall off.

"Yeah, and she was wanting to know if you went through the same thing." I become nervous because he knows I don't want people knowing about that night.

"What did you tell her?"

"I said it wasn't my place to tell." I let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for not telling."

"No I wouldn't. Though I did tell Louis and Josh, and I know you didn't want them to know but they needed to because of a lot of stuff that went down with Harry and me."

"Niall you didn't?" Tears are stinging my eyes.

"McKenzie I'm so sorry! They didn't tell anyone I made them promise please don't be mad."

"Niall I could never be mad at you. I'm just upset you told them without asking me."

"I know but that's why I'm asking you now."

"Asking me if it's ok if you tell Louis and Josh or?"

"No asking you if Tatum can know what happened? Maybe she will know what to expect and keep a better eye out on Harry." I think it over. I don't like people knowing but if it can help Tatum not get hurt I'm willing to let her know about it.

"Sure Niall you can tell her. I want to help keep her safe in any way that I can."

"Well actually. I was wondering if you could tell her yourself."

"I don't know if I can! I haven't talked about it at all since it happened. You were there why can't you just tell her like you told Louis and Josh?"

"I wasn't living it though, that's the thing. I know it'll be hard to tell her but she needs to hear it from you. She wouldn't believe that Harry was the bad guy until about a week ago. He did a very good job on getting her to trust him until Liam stepped in and told her what I had been trying to tell her."
