[EDITING] My Neighbor // NH

Chapter 1

-

"Amara" my mother calls

"Yes mom?" I asked walking downstairs

"Let's go over and welcome our new neighbor" she says grabbing a bowl of lasagna off the kitchen counter and I nodded shutting the door behind me.

"Do we really have to 'welcome' them to the neighborhood?" I ask my mom

"Yes Amara. We've done it with the last two families who moved in. It's just a nice gesture"

As my mom and I walked over I noticed that the car only had two doors so i doubted that it was a family. Which was kinda a bummer.

I was hoping to at least maybe make a new friend. By looking at their car they seem to be an older person who lives on their own.

The last family who moved in to the house across the street had 3 kids.. all under the age of 14.

It would be nice to meet someone who's older in the neighborhood.

We finally got to their doorstep and My mom knocked on the door and about a minute later it opened and I could not believe my eyes..

There stood in front of me the blonde Irish boy who I have adored since I was 12.

Niall James Horan.

"Hi I'm Cassandra, and this is my daughter Amara. we live next door and wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood" my mother said handing him the bowl of lasagna.

He smiled. "Thank you. It's nice to meet you both. Im Niall" he nods to my mother then to me. He shakes my mothers hand and then as he was about to shake mine I froze.

My hand started to sweat as soon as he reached for my hand I started to loose feeling in my legs.

I then mentally smacked myself and straightened up and shook his hand as if I were normal.

How could I marry someone I can't even shake hands with?

"Would you guys like to come in?" He asked politely

"I would love to but-" my mother began to say but I quickly interrupted her

"Yes" I smile

"Niall it was nice meeting you but I have to go to work in 10 minutes. And if you need any help unpacking, I'm sure Amara wouldn't mind helping you" she says

"I actually have quite a bit to unpack, but I don't think you would want to spend time helping me unpack" he says looking over to me and I shake my head.

"Oh no I don't mind, i have no where to be today anyway" I say and my mother smiles.

"Amara I'll be home later. You two have fun unpacking" she says as she leaves.

I sure will.

Niall then stepped out of the way so that I could walk in.

"Sorry it's a mess" he says chuckling as he shut the door behind him. "Do you want a soda? Or a water?" He asked

"Im good, thank you though" I say standing there awkwardly.
