Bella's POV:

"Can I have half a grapefruit and yogurt with a glass of water?" I asked the waitress.

"She'll take a side of bacon with that." Harry smirked from across the table.

"No I won't, thanks though Harry!" I growled nastily. The waitress rolled her eyes and walked away to place our order.

"I thought you were hungry, Bell?" Liam asked putting his arm around me, letting me rest my head on him. I could see jealous Harry's eyes from across the table darting into Liam's, but he ignored them.

"I am! I usually don't eat breakfast, so this is a lot for me. Besides, I have that audition tomorrow!" I laughed into him.

"Bell... I've been meaning to tell you this. I don't think you should go to that audition. You shouldn't go anywhere alone in this town, it's not safe." Liam sighed. I pulled away from him and shook my head.

"I'm going to that audition, babe. You can't stop me from living my life." I said back with a serious tone of voice.

"Bella. It isn't safe. I seriously don't want you to go, if something were to happen to you at the audition...." his voice trailed off.

"Liam! It's a legitimate audition, I have the flyer at home and everything. Just chill ok? I'm going!" He shook his head in anger and sighed. He didn't respond and I was getting mad now too. "Liam you have to understand, this could be a big deal for me if I make it.." I continued.

"No. Bella I don't want you to get hurt ever again, I don't want you to risk it!" He banged down at the table. I glanced over at Harry who was giving me a sympathetic look.

"Just let her go to the audition. One of us will take her and wait outside until it's over. She can't stop doing something she loves. Isn't life about taking chances?" Harry said making me smile.

"Thanks, Harry." I whispered. Liam looked over at me and rolled his eyes.

"I need to think about this. I'm gonna go have a smoke, I'll be back in a couple minutes." He said excusing himself from the booth. I put my hands over my face and sighed into my palms.

"Can I ever win?" I asked Harry who was laughing at me.

"Liam's a little overprotective, don't you think, love?" He asked removing my hands from my face. Holding my hands, he looked at my wrists and let out a big breathe. "He doesn't know you like I do, Bella." I pulled my hands away and placed them under the table.

"Harry... I already told you who I'm with. Don't make this harder than it has to be!" I pleaded.

"I'll stop the flirtation if you eat all the bacon on my plate. No exceptions." He smirked folding his arms. Damn it Harry.

Harry's POV:

I'm freaking out about Bella's audition tomorrow. Why did I think me telling Liam to let her go for it would be helpful, what if something does happen?! I'm such a bloody idiot.

When Liam returned he kissed Bella (insert disgust here) and told her he wanted her to reach for the stars. (insert more disgust here.) Which meant he said yes to letting her audition for SYTYCD tomorrow. The food finally came and conversation was casual, talking about anything we could think of.

"So Zayn's a little flirtatious, right?" Liam asked taking a bite into this omelette. Bella started giggling through the piece of bacon she was enjoying.

"I think that's just his nature, it's harmless babe." She giggled patting his thigh under the table.

We continued eating and talking, and I occasionally kicked Bella under the table making her smile. She was so pretty when she smiled.

"Alright, you guys ready to head out?" Bella asked when the bill came.

"Sure, but what's the rush love?" Liam asked laughing at Bella's bluntness.

"I really gotta get home and stretch and pick out an outfit for tomorrow and help Jamie get ready for the audition---"

"Jamie's auditioning too?!" I blurted out.

"Why wouldn't we audition together?" She asked as if I had said something stupid. FUCK. If something happens tomorrow, I won't be able to live with myself.

"Right..." I said uneasily.

"Tomorrow's gonna be the best day ever!" Bella cheered into Liam's arms. Let's hope she's right.
