Bella's POV:

If you want to know what awkward tension is, you should be in this apartment. No one is speaking, no one is even looking at each other. I'm stressed, I'm scared and I'm emotionally drained. Chloe is always busy, I wouldn't dare to ask Drew or Jamie for help, and Niall has been such a good friend to me lately I felt like I should leave him be.

"Long time no seen!" I smiled tugging him in for a giant warm embrace. "Feels like it's been a while, right?" I asked with a big smile.

"I've missed chatting with you, love." Liam smiled coming inside with a huge grin. I really have missed his friendship lately. "So tell me what's going on." He insisted sitting down with me on the couch. I explained to him about work, and then about Louis, and then about Harry and my big blow out.

"So that's basically it right now." I whispered wiping my tears with my sleeves.

"That's insane... All of it. Did Harry really grab you?" Liam asked. I nodded my head chuckling a little at the remembrance of the events that happened earlier, it stings a little to think about.

"I'm ok." I smiled slightly.

"You always say that. It's ok not to be ok all the time. Sometimes we have to fall apart." He whispered tilting my chin up and looking me deeply in the eyes. My insides melted at him, I remembered the way I used to feel when I was with him, it was kind of a warm and fluttery feeling.

"I've missed you." I whispered pulling him in for a quick squeeze. "So tell me about your life... shops opening soon.... do you have a girlfriend?" I asked giggling.

"Yeah it's pretty exciting and nope... no girlfriend." He smirked batting his eyelashes. "How are you feeling from your injuries last month? A month feels like forever ago." He continued.

"I'm ok, dance has been helping... well sort of." my voice trailed off and I turned my head the other way.

"What do you mean sort of? I thought that was your escape." He questioned. My throat got all choked up and I let out a deep breath.

"I haven't told anyone this... I don't want people to think I'm weak or something stupid. It's a stupid thing... It think." I started off.

"Tell me if you'd like." He smiled urging me to open up. "I'm here for you."

"Okay... Well you know where they kept me, the walls of the room were all mirrors, and in a dance studio one of the walls is just all mirrors." My voice started to shake and my eyes filled with warm tears. "Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I feel like Louis or Josh are gonna come out from the exit hurt me... I can't handle it. I break down every time I think about it, and it happens all the time. I'm going crazy, Liam. It's driving me insane." I sobbed. I never told that to Harry, Zayn or anyone. I couldn't share that kind of secret with someone, but Liam made me feel like I could.

"Bell...." His voice trailed off, he didn't even know how to respond. Instead, he just pulled me in for a huge hug. I let my tears drown his tank and his big muscular arms honestly made me feel a little better. "The next time that happens, call me. We can battle your demons together." He smiled. Liam is so fucking sweet. Like who says that?

"How did I ever let you go?" I sniffled in his arms. He kissed the top of my head and rubbing my thigh in a non-creepy way.

"I ask myself that question about you everyday." I smiled at that. "Are you going to sleep with Harry tonight?" He asked letting me pull away for a moment.

"I've barely spoken five words to him since earlier... I think I'm better off sleeping in here. You can stay if you want." I suggested pointing at the other couch.

"I would... But I don't trust myself being alone with you for too much longer." He smirked shaking his head. I sighed feeling everything I was feeling, and the sadness was starting to hurt me.

"Liam...please. I don't trust myself being alone tonight." I let out a little cry. "Please stay in here... I'm begging you." I pleaded hugging my knees to my chest.

"Of course Bell. Of course." He smiled kissing me on the corner of the mouth and tucking a blanket into me. We laid there talking for hours and hours, until I felt a little better, and eventually, he fell asleep, but I still couldn't sleep.

Harry's POV:

Of course Bella didn't sleep in here. Why the fuck would she? I'm so ashamed of myself for grabbing her today... I was just so angry. I looked at the clock and saw it was 4 am... I better check on her. I tiptoed out of the room and saw Bella, wide awake on the couch with Skinny Love by Birdy playing, her favorite sad song. I looked at her face from the glow of her phone light, it was puffy and miserable. I then peaked around the room, and saw Liam on the other couch, fast asleep. If I lose Bella over this... I don't even know what I'll do.

"What are you doing awake?" Bella sniffled pulling me away from my thoughts.

"I just wanted to check on you... Um... Are you alright?" I asked awkwardly. What else was I supposed to say?

"Yes, I'm ok." She responded letting a croak out from the back of her throat.

"Fuck Bell... I'm so sorry--" I inched closer to her but she stopped me.

"Harry... Please stay over there. I need a little space." She choked out between sobs.

"I never meant to hurt you... If I could take it all back I would. I love you so much, Bell." I tried, wiping my eyes with my hands. "I'll make everything better... I promise." I added.

"Good----night----Harry." She let out between cries. Seeing her cry because of my blatant ignorance really made my heart hurt. All I could do was give her space... But not enough space for Liam to swoop in and steal her from me... But then again, why wouldn't he? He's so much better for her than I am... No Harry, you need Bella back. She's the best part of your world, don't let her go. Get her back, and get rid of the troubles you've caused her. And now I'm talking to myself. Really good. Ok. Good night. I hope everything is better in the morning.
