Niall's pov
Sighing, I take my snapback off, run a hand through my recently bleached blonde hair and step outside the car. I take in my suroundings and look at the house that was now going to be my home. The house from the outside looked as if it was a decent size, just like the one I used to live in Mullingar.
"So, what do you think?" Maura, my mum comes up behind me and wraps her arm around my shoulder, looking at me. I shrug at her and go to get my belongings from the car boot. Yeah, that might have seemed a bit rude and call me childish but I wasn't exactly happy moving with leaving Mullingar and coming to Chesire.
We'd moved because she had spilit up with my dad, after a massive argument and it was decided that I was going to stay with my mum. Greg, Denise and little Theo were still in Ireland as they didn't want to move away. I only became aware of this last week, when my mum came in to my room, waking me up and spolling it all out.
I wasn't mad that things hadn't worked out between her and my dad. I'd never liked him that much anyway and nor was he a fond of me. It was just the factor of starting all over again. Staring new. In a completely different country. Having to make new friends as I didn't know anybody here. And most of all, having to leave my two best friends, Matt and Jess in Ireland.
Grabbing my stuff, I shut the door and with a struggle made it inside the house. Putting my things to the side, I had a look around. The house, I guess, was decent. It had some furniture such as sofas placed in the living room, along with a fireplace that looked older than me.
I headed to the kitchen, inspecting it and much to my pleasure it was huge. Unfortunately, there was no food in the house as we'd just gotten here and I was starving, as I hadn't eaten since this morning. Which was round about four hours ago, urgh.
My stomach rumbled and a laugh came from behind me. I turn around to see my mum laughing. "Hungry are we, dear?" She says, smiling at me.
I pout and pat my tum. "Yeah, darn right I am. I haven't eaten in years and there you are laughing. It's not even funny." I dramtically sigh sadly.
She rolls her eyes at me. "You ate four hours a-"
"Four hours, a couple of years, same thing, mother."
"I've known you since you were a wee baby, yet your eating habits never fail to amaze me, Niall. But okay. I'll order some pizza while you go and unpack. Sound good?"
I nod and make my way upstairs to choose my new bedroom and pretend to 'unpack' my clothes. I'd do that later. Besides, by not having my clothes unpacked and having them still in my suitcases felt as if this wasn't all real. As if this was only some kind of weird holiday and I wouldn't need to unpack and then tomorrow I'd go back to Ireland.
I chose the bedroom at the end of the hall. It wasn't the biggest bedroom, I'd let my mum have that. But what it did have was that it has a balcony, I thought it was nice. I could star gaze there someday, something that I found extremely calming.
A knock interupted my thoughts and Maura came into the room. "Oh and Niall, I'd get familiar here, if I was you. You'll be going to college next week, Tuesday and I don't want you getting lost or anything, okay?"
"Yeah, sure thing, mum. I'll go out tomorrow or maybe the day after." I reply back to her.
"Okay. I'm sorry that we had to move here, somewhere completely new, away from all your friends. Just this was the best thing that I could do. Please understand." She says, looking at me.
I grimace and force a smile. I did understand that this was probably the best. Just that reminding me that I'd left my friends and the only people I knew back in Ireland, really didn't help. "I know, mum. Just give me time to get used to all this." I gesture the place around me.
She smiles at me, understandingly and nods. "Okay, if that's what you need. I'll call you down, when the food gets here, hun." She kisses the top of my forehead and leaves closing the door, on her way out.
I let out a sigh and sit on my bed which didn't have a mattress on it yet so sitting on it was kind of uncomfortable. I start school on Tuesday. Which was in about five days and I still hadn't gotten all the stuff that I needed for my classes. Great.
Okay, so that's that first chapter, done. I know it's kinda boring but once all the characters have been introduced and all, I guess it'll start to get more interesting? But yeah, thanks for reading if you did and well yeah, stay tuned in for the next update? idek-
