Without You - Lana Del Rey (song to listen to while reading)
Bella's POV:

I sobbed in Chris' arms for a few more moments before pulling myself together and taking an enormous deep breath.

"Do you mind if I go find my brother really quickly?" I sniffled.

"Of course, but can I steal your phone while you're gone? I need the music to practice." He smiled and I nodded my head immediately. I love how dedicated he is to this.

"Here." I giggled handing it to him. "Make sure you stretch before you start, I don't want you pulling any muscles before our first performance." I teased and left him in the room. I headed down the hall and my eyes were quickly drawn the Niall and Drew sitting in the waiting room together.

"Bella, did you know Harry did this to Niall?" Drew asked standing up. "Why would he do that, has he gone completely insane?" Drew asked showing true concern for Niall.

"I guess Niall didn't tell you what went down between me and him?" I asked and felt the tension in the room shift. Drew gave me a blank stare and Niall was shaking his head in the background, this is priceless. "Well Niall? Why don't you tell him what you did." I smirked.

"Bella...." He stammered nervously.

"What did you do, mate?" Drew asked with confused look on his face. This is gonna be good.



"I cheated on Bella with Chloe... I didn't mean for it happen, it sorta just did." He whispered, making no eye contact with either of us. Hearing him say that made my heart hurt all over again.

"Are you fucking for real?" Drew growled, slowly shaking his head. "How could you do that to Bella?"

"It doesn't matter how he did it, all that matters is that he did." I stiffened. "Drew, can you do me a favor? Mia is at Harry's apartment right now with Zayn and Perrie, can you please pick her up from there along with all my stuff and just watch her for the day?" I asked. I don't trust Harry's temper with our daughter right now, and with Zayn being there I know he will protect Mia and Drew in case Harry get's mad.

"Of course, I'll go there now." He smiled, kissing my forehead. "Are you alright?" He whispered next to me.

"I will be." I nodded and he headed out the door.

To be honest, days like these are the days I miss Jamie the most. She would listen to me complain about Niall, Harry, Drew... Just about anybody. She always had something funny to say, but usually she could get through to me. I wonder what she would say about Niall right now?

"Bella, I'm really sorry." Niall interrupted me from my thoughts. His bruising jaw and glossy eyes hurts me too... Everything hurts me lately.

"Niall... I just don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do." I groaned sitting down across from him.

"I love you Bella, you have to know that." He said taking my hand. His touch is warm, yet so foreign at the same time. We're inches apart, but I've never felt farther away from him in my whole life.

"I don't think that's going to be enough." I said, heat welling up in the back of my throat.

"So what are we gonna do about this?" He asked me. I took a moment to think about things, how my life is at the moment and he gave me a blank yet sad expression.



"I think it's best if you move out of the apartment for a while." His eyes widened at my statement, and I felt like I had just ran over a baby squirrel. "I mean, what else are we gonna do Niall? I don't have any intention of--" I started off, but stopped when I felt his lips pressed against me. It felt nice and comfortable... but that's just it, who wants a nice and comfortable kiss?

"Tell me you didn't feel anything." He whispered, holding our foreheads together.

"Niall..." I stuttered. "I don't think we can get back together. I can't be with a cheater, and from Chloe's reaction this morning, I could tell it's more than just sex between you both." I whispered, surprising myself. He settled back down in the chair and put his hands on his head in defeat.

"I can't believe I fucked this up... You don't know how long I wanted to be with you, and now it's over. We're over." He muttered wiping his eyes. "What about Mia? She's like a daughter to me, and we've been friends for so long! How can we just --"

"Niall, I can't do this whole thing right now. I have to get back to Chris, we'll talk later, alright?" I whispered and he nodded his head. As I walked back to the room I was already annoyed at myself for being so nice to him. What the hell is wrong with me? He cheated on me! I'm a moron.

Chris's POV:

As soon as the door slammed behind her I unlocked her phone, the key to everything I needed to know. The first thing I did was scroll through her Facebook messages... They're all to dance friends about choreography, not interesting.

Her twitter was cute, she has lots of fans that DM her about her dancing, and a few creeps here and there about her body. Instagram was the same way, except more creeps commenting on pictures of her on the beach.

Finally, her messages. The first person I see messages with is Zayn. I swear, those two are in love or something. Liam and her messages are boring and stupid, but he mentions somebody named Mia? Who the hell is that? I finally got down to Niall and read their boring conversation, but there was more talk about Mia. Who the fuck is Mia? Harry's messages although less boring, mention her too.

I scrolled through all her pictures and found pictures of a little girl around two years old... Pictures of her in a crib, in millions of different outfits, with Harry & Niall... Then it finally hit me. She really was pregnant back in LA? Does Bella have a daughter that she hasn't mentioned?

Shit, maybe she doesn't trust me that much after all? My mind is racing, she has no business taking care of a a child, she can barely take care of herself. Plus, an innocent child in the mix of this is not going to go over well.

"What's up mate?" Louis answered the second I called.

"Bella has a kid..." I whispered nervously. The line went silent for a moment, I could tell he was not happy.

"They told me that she wasn't really pregnant... That it was all in my head." He panted into the phone. "Are you sure about this?" He asked into the phone.

"Yeah I think so... It's gotta be Harry's kid, it looks just like him." I chuckled scrolling through the pictures. "When are you coming here anyway?" I asked quickly, hearing Bella's footsteps down the hall way.

"In a few days, I'm just finalizing my plan and then I'll--"

"Great, thanks!" I laughed hanging up. Bella gave me a small smile and I could tell she had been crying, I almost felt bad for her... almost.

"Who was that?" She asked peeling off her shirt revealing a neon sports bra, she's so good looking it drives me crazy.

"Just a friend, he's coming to the show Monday night." I said, giving her a cheeky grin.

"Well then I guess we better start working extra hard to impress them. Are you ready?" She asked snatching her phone out of my hands and turning to plug it into the speaker. My eyes dropped down to watch her ass as she walked away and I couldn't help but smirk.



"I'm so ready for you Bella."
