Invisible - Skylar Grey (song to listen to while reading)
Harry's Point Of View:

Bella was eyeing me nervously before Louis could speak again, probably worried about where Mia was. I mouthed 'Perrie and Zayn' to her before I turned around to face my ex best friend.

"So what the fuck are you doing near my... near Bella?" I growled, standing closely in front of her.

"I'm here to support her and my brother, why else would I be here?" He laughed, as if this was comical. Are you fucking with me right now?

"Why else would you be here? Maybe to kidnap Bella and abuse her all over again? Treat her as if she's your nasty ex Sarah? We know how you operate, freak!" Liam snarled at him. I nodded my head in agreement and felt Bella tensing up behind me. I squeezed her hand gently so she knows that I'm not going anywhere.

"I'm not the same Louis I was three years ago, mate. I've been through 2 and a half years of therapy, counseling, I even take medication for bipolar disorder. I'm here to make things right." He smiled. He looked different, maybe a little less insane... just a little.

"You promised he wouldn't be here... that you don't even talk to him!" Bella nearly screamed from behind me. I whipped my head around to find her balling her eyes out.

"I'm sorry Bella, I know thats what I told you." Chris sighed, realizing he had been caught in a lie. I have a feeling he's just as surprised to see Louis as the rest of us. "He really is better though, I wouldn't lie to you about something so... so serious." He admitted.

"Louis, you can't be here." She shuddered even saying his name.

"Please Bella, I want to make things right. My therapists say it's a good idea to make amends, make friends--"

"You will not be making friends with Bella." I nearly shrieked in disgust.

"Or just make amends... Even with you guys. Harry, Liam, we were best friends!" He pleaded. I shook the idea from my mind of even thinking of forgiving him, but I could feel Liam sinking into the trap.

"Look mate-" Liam sighed.

"He's not your mate!" I screamed, pulling him backward a bit. "Look, all I'm saying is you better stay the fuck away from Bella or the consequences will be deadly. Got it?" I sighed, walking towards the car with Bella around my arms.

"You're gonna go with Harry?" Chris growled, finally revealing a little bit of his true colors. She turned her head around to look at him, and immediately her expression changed.

"I--I--I..." She stammered.

"Did you forget how dangerous he is too? How aggressive? He nearly killed Niall the other morning, and you want that around your daughter? You're gonna bring him back into your life and he's gonna destroy your world, along with your kids'." He screamed, and my jaw dropped.


Bella's Point Of View:

"How did you know?" I gasped, now standing beside Liam. "How did you know we share a kid?" I stated, voice filled with shock and horror.

"That day you let me borrow your phone, I saw pictures of her... I just put the pieces together." He sighed, running a hand through his extremely short hair. I realized that Louis' expression hadn't changed a bit because Chris had probably already told him about Mia.

"This is... I just..." I have no words for this situation. All I know now, is that I know nothing.

"Bella, please let me take you home." Harry pleaded, coming up beside me. I looked down at my hands, they were shaking like crazy. I hate this, I hate this, I hate this. I'm losing control and I can't contain myself.

"I fucking can't do this!" I screamed, walking away from all three of them. I heard Liam growl 'This isn't over.' and Harry shout 'I meant what I said' before I pulled away and started driving. I drove onto the highway and drove faster than I ever thought I could, I needed to rid this fucking feeling of crazy.

My heart is yearning for Harry, he makes me feel safe and comfortable... but at the same time, I panic at the thought of him losing it. We're all pretty fucked up... Chris, Louis, Harry, even myself but that doesn't make it ok. I heard my phone buzzing off the hook, Harry was calling and calling over twenty times but I don't have the strength right now to talk to him.... to do much of anything except cry.

Finally, I walked inside my apartment and found a sleeping Zayn sprawled out onto the couch, I guess Perrie left to go home. I decided not to wake him, and slipped inside the bathroom.

The first thing I did was look for anything close to a blade, and a pair of silver scissors caught my eye. Picking them up and sliding the ends across my wrists felt foreign, but so familiar at the same time. I watched as three new bleeding lines appear across my veins and the immediate release made my adrenalin rise. The pain feels good, the pain feels good.

I dropped them into the sink, glared up and felt fear throughout my entire body. This isn't the mother of a beautiful child, this is the old and aching Bella. My eyes grazed the blood pouring off my wrists and I felt light headed, but not even to pass out.

My ears rang when the door creaked open, and a sleepy Zayn stepped inside.

"Bella, no!" He shouted, grabbing my wrist and sticking it under the sink. I slammed my face against Zayn's chest and let out loud, violent sobs.

"Please don't tell Harry." was all I could croak out before my tears and fears engulfed me completely.

Numb, I am completely and utterly numb.


Chris' Point of View:

"You've go to be fucking kidding me Louis!" I growled as we entered inside my apartment. He gave me a smirk and rolled his eyes.

"Relax mate, I think they bought it." He laughed opening the fridge and pulling out a beer. "Did you see Bella's ass? It's gonna nicer with age." He chuckled softly.

"I'm glad this is a big joke to you. I was fine with the plan you had, I was gonna get her for you and then you could do whatever the hell it is that you wanted... but now that you're here it's all fucked up!" I shouted, flopping down into a comfortable chair.

"Change of plans." He smiled, sitting down across from me. "Bella is going to fall in love with me, whether she likes it or not. The only thing we have to do is turn her against those arses Harry, Liam, Niall and Zayn. That's where you come in." Louis smiled.

"How do I fit in?" I asked confused. To be honest, I don't hate Bella as much as I used to. She has that ability to grow on people... It drives me insane, but I can't stop what I've been feeling.

"You'll be with her all the time.... Turn her on towards me, and off towards them. Talk me up, talk them down. Listen to her problems, be her guy. I'll be around, and she'll fall for me... hard." He explained, and I nervously nodded.

"You really want to do this?" I asked one more time.

"Yup. I'm sure right now she's all fucked up and scared, and then tomorrow you can be there for her as will I." He laughed chugging the beer in his hand.

"Bella will be mine, and then we can finally have that baby we once almost had." He smiled, and headed off to his room.

That's when it hit me: he's not over her miscarriage. Three years ago, Bella miscarried her and Louis' baby, and it was his fault.

He's still fucked up, and she's going to spiral downward all over again.... and I'm on the sidelines waiting to watch the events unfold right in front of my eyes.

The only thing I know for certain, is that someone is going to end up hurt, and that someone is Bella.
