Tatum's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning in my room. I don't remember how I got here. Maybe Kayla or Codi dropped me off. Yeah, that's probably what happened.

I raised up from the bed and rubbed my eyes. My head was still hurting. I also felt a little weak which was probably the result from last night's episode.

I pushed the covers off of me and walked to the bathroom. Gosh, I looked like a mess. I walked to the closet and pulled out sweatpantsand a t-shirt. I pulled off the dress that I was currently still wearing. I slipped on my sweatpants and t-shirt. "Much better." I mumbled.

I walked over to the sink and began washing my face. Last night's make-up was still one which was rather disgusting. I pulled my hair into a bun and began heading downstairs.

It was almost lunch time and my stomach was growling. "What ot eat, what to eat?" I sing-songed while looking through the cabinets. "Ramen noodles!!" I pulled the box out of the cabinet and walked over to the stove.

As I was cooking my food, I heard footsteps. I grabbed the closest thing in sight and began walking to where the noise was coming from. "Good morning." I screamed and turned around to find Liam standing behind me, rubbing his eyes.

"Dangit Liam! You scare the crap out of me!" I slapped him on the arm with the spatula.

"Ow! No need to slap me. I didn't mean to scare you."

"Okay, whatever. Why are you here?" I asked while walking back to the kitchen to check on my food.

"I um wanted to make sure that you were okay."

"Uh thanks, but I don't need a babysitter." Well that was harsh. Liam's eyes widened and he looked embarrassed. I feel bad for spitting at him like that. "I'm sorry, that was a bit harsh." He nodded and accepted my apology.

"You can leave whenever you'd like. I'll be okay." I said with a smile. I turned the burner off and grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and poured the contents into it. "You're probably busy anyways and I would hate to keep you. Would you like something to eat?" I offered. He shook his head. "Thank you though."

"So are you busy today?"

"Me?" I questioned.

"Yeah?"

"Well no, not really. Kayla and Codi are probably busy anyways."

"If so, can I take you out?" I sighed. Honestly, I don't think it would be a good idea. "I don't mean as a date. I would really like to be friends?"

"Liam , I don't know. I know how popularity works. Paparazzi sees you, they take pictures, then it's on the cover. Your fans won't be too happy and your girlfriend sure as heck won't be too happy either." I looked down and began twirling my food with my fork.

"Tat, I don't have a girlfriend. And we don't have to hang out in public. What about my house?"

"I just met you last night. We don't know anything about each other and weren't not even friends, really. Would you want to introduce me to your parents, honestly?" I could see the hurt in his eyes. I would like to be friends, but I know that there will be consequences.

"There's nothing wrong with you." Liam said.

"Your parents will think that I'm a whore. I met you at a club last night, you brought me home and you stayed the night." I giggled.

"Nah, they'll like you. Don't be ashamed of yourself. Even if we don't know much about each other, I know a few  things about you." I raised an eyebrow at him.
