Ballerina Bruises
Chapter 11-The Plan
Bella's POV:
I woke up in the guest room bed alone, and I could barely open my eyes from crying so hard last night. I peered around the room to see broken glass, torn pictures and pieces of blonde hair scattered across the floor. I took a glimpse at the clock, it was 7:56 am. Where was Harry?
Going down the stairs felt like I had just gotten off a crazy roller coaster and my head was pounding. When I got to the kitchen I was not expecting to see this. Harry, Niall, Jamie, Drew, Zayn, Liam, Louis, Chloe and Perrie were all sitting at the table talking.
"It's gonna be ok, Bella!" Chloe said rushing to my side and throwing her arms around me. Everyone looked up and smiled at me, and I looked back in shock.
"What the hell is going on here?" I asked confusedly. Chloe took a step back and smiled.
"Harry came up with a brilliant plan! Tell her Harry!" Chloe shouted eagerly. Harry stepped forward and took my hand. I stared at him and shook my head. I didn't want all these people involved and putting their lives at risk just for me, that was ridiculous.
"We're going on a trip, love. All of us. Everything is figured out, just pack up all your stuff and come back down in a little bit. It's gonna be ok." He spoke softly and almost made me feel like things were going to be ok. Almost. Jamie, Chloe, and Niall grabbed my arms and brought my upstairs to my room and sat me down on the bed. I was frozen in time, confused and scared.
Niall's POV:
Poor Bella. I knew I should have kept a better eye on her all this time, I could have possibly prevented this from happening. Her sister and Chloe helped me take her upstairs to her room since she was pretty stuck in the moment. I laid her down on her bed and smiled.
"Bella, do you have any questions?" I asked. I couldn't believe what we were doing either, this was mad.
"What exactly is happening.... and don't lie to me Niall, please." She questioned. I took a deep breath and looked to Chloe and then to Jamie, who just happens to be the bravest fucking 14 year old I have ever met. She knew everything that was happening and nothing phased her.
"Alright Bell. Here's the deal. Harry told us what happened--"
"Did he tell you EVERYTHING? About himself, the phone call, my parents...." her voiced trailed off. I moved closer to her and placed my arm on her shoulder. I could feel her body relax as soon as I did that, which made me smile. She felt safe around me.
"Everybody knows everything, even Jamie who is actually a lot stronger than you'd think, so don't worry about her. But Bella you did to listen to what the plan is." I spoke firmly so she knew things were about to get serious. She nodded and I continued. "Everyone that you just saw in the kitchen, and myself are getting on an airplane tonight at 8 o'clock.." She stopped me.
"No Niall! I can't leave, I have to be somewhere at 8'clock or else I..."
"Bella would you let me finish! The flight takes off at 8'clock and we're leaving Little Stream. We're going another small town on the other side of England, Scotchdale. We have a house that we bought with your family's money and we're all going to live there together and protect you guys. You, Jamie and Drew are going to be taking online classes and will never be left alone. You will be safe for as long as it takes, until they give up." She just sat there on the bed with a blank stare and watery eyes.
"I don't want this. I don't want everyone to give up their lives for me! I barely know them all and this isn't fair to them! It's not fair to them, and it's not fair to Harry and Niall, it's not fair to you!" She cried into my chest for 20 minutes with Jamie and Chloe patting her back telling her it was going to be ok. I heard the door creak at Harry walked in.
"Alright Bell, it's time to start packing up and preparing for what's to come. Are you ready?" She stood up with shaking hands and let out a little smile.
"I'm ready."
Harry's POV:
"That's a girl!" I said pulling her in for a hug. "I still have a few things to get together for myself since I've been here since last night, are you going to alright here with everyone else?" I asked smirking at Niall.
"She'll be fine Harry, she's been fine without you before." Niall scoffed. Bella just giggled quietly and walked into her bathroom. It was time for business. I quickly ran down the stairs and called all the guys over.
"Perrie, why don't and Drew go upstairs and see how Bella's doing? She was asking for you both." I smirked. They rushed upstairs and I grabbed my keys.
"Where are we going?" Liam asked following behind me.
"How do you think we're going to protect her, with our fists? We need real weapons." I laughed starting the engine. They all piled in a Louis sat in the passenger seat.
"Good thinking Har. I've got a few things to pick up from my place too, mind if we stop by there first, since it's right here?" Louis asked. I drove about 500 feet before pulling into Louis' driveway. He ran inside and seconds later he came out with a big black duffle bag.
"What've you got in there Lou, weapons of mass destruction?" Zayn joked from the back. Louis turned around and winked at him.
"You don't even know, Zayn." Louis was always such a wise ass.
Seven hours later: 4:34pm
I pulled into Bella's driveway and explain myself again to the guys. "No one can know what we have in these bags, understood? And DEFFINETLY don't talk about our visit with the company." We went over to the head of the drug reign's home (the bastard going after Bella and her family) to pick up our final pay and see if we could get any information about what was supposed to go down tonight, but they said nothing. Sneaky bastards.
We walked into the home and saw suit cases next to the door, along with a few carry on bags filled with medication and school books. Jamie came down the steps and hugged me immediately. "Is Bella going to die? Everyone keeps saying no, but I've never seen her this scared. She's been mumbling it under her breath all day too." She asked looking up at me.
"No ones going to die, love."
"Do you promise Harry?" She asked pulling away. I nodded.
"I promise Jamie. Everything is going to work out."
I didn't know if I were lying to Jamie or to myself, but I knew I had come up with a good plan and now we had insurance (or weapons) to keep them protected. Besides, living with Bella and everyone else could end up being loads of fun... or a nightmare.
