Harry's Point of View:
6 days later:
"Stop, please!" Bella shouted, waking me up from my dead sleep. I turn over in her king sized bed to find Bella stirring in her sleep, clawing at her arms and covered in a pool of sweat.
"Bella, wake up! It's Harry, c'mon love." I shook her frantically and seconds later, her eyes shot open. They were crazed and quickly filled with tears.
"Harry?" She croaked, quickly wrapping her arms around my neck.
"What the hell was that?" I asked, brushing my fingers over her damp hair. Her body tensed at my question and she immediately pulled away.
"It was nothing." She softens, rubbing her arms nervously. "Just a bad dream."
"How often do you have those?" I asked with concern. She's breathing heavy and her voice is raspy like she's about to cry.
"Just sometimes... I need to shower, I have a show tonight." She sighed, crawling out of bed and rushing into the bathroom.
Clearly that wasn't just a bad dream, that was a nightmare. I've slept here everyday since last Tuesday and she's been a little bit on edge, but nothing like this. I decide to go against my better judgement and make a phone call.
"What do you want?" He spits into the phone.
"Nice to hear from you to, Niall." I chuckle into the phone.
"Is something wrong with Bella or Mia, cause I'm really busy with setting up for tonight and I don't have time for y--"
"Did Bella have nightmares when you two used to... sleep together?" I asked into the phone. I hate even thinking about another man in bed with my girl, but this is too important to me to let go and I know that Bella won't tell me anything.
"She used to have them about Louis when we first got to Jersey and she had a one a couple weeks ago... Louis triggers them I believe." He rushes into the phone. "Why, is she alright?"
"She's fine, I was just curious. Thanks... mate." I say, hanging up before he can respond. Fucking Louis. Bella mentioned that he had stopped by a few practices this week but I didn't think anything of it... This whole situation is just completely fucked up.
Around ten minutes later, Bella emerges from the bathroom still looking a bit frazzled from earlier.
"So they're from Louis?" I ask, and she freezes in her tracks.
"How did you...Niall? He's the only one I told." She sighs, and I nod my head.
"Do you not trust me or something?" I ask, a bit frustrated. Why couldn't she just tell me?
"I don't want you to go and kill anyone, Harry." Valid Point. "I've only seen him like four times this week and every encounter is actually fine... I don't know why I'm even having these nightmares anymore." She shrugs, as if it's not a big deal.
"You have every right to be afraid of him! He bloody tortured you!" I groaned. "I don't want you to see him without me there anymore. I mean it." I decide.
"That's impossible, Harry. Who's gonna watch Mia while I'm at shows and you're there with me?" She chuckles, probably thinking I'm overprotective.
"We'll get a babysitter. I mean it Bella, I'm coming with you from now on no matter what. Besides, won't it be fun having your boyfriend on the sidelines cheering you on?" I smirk, standing up beside her. my hand snakes around her lower back to pull her into my chest, and she reveals a beautiful smile.
"So you're my boyfriend now?" Bella giggled, hiding her face.
"I want to be." I smile, pressing our foreheads together.
"And you always get what you want, don't you Mr. Styles?" She says, pushing her lips against mine.
She's got that right, I always do get what I want. And what I want, more than anything, is Bella to be safe and sane, our daughter to be safe and happy and for Louis and Chris to be far, far away from here. Everything else at this point is collateral damage.
Chris' Point Of View:
"What the hell are you talking about you idiot?" I groan at my brothers smiling face.
"It's a brilliant idea! Just hear me out, alright?" Louis smiles like a little boy on Christmas morning.
"Have at it." I sigh, giving him his space to explain.
"Alright, so are you sure Harry is going to the show tonight?" He asks.
"Yes, Bella just texted me that he's gonna be driving her. What does that matter? If anything, it will hurt us rather than help us." I sigh, not seeing the point.
"We're gonna put this in his car." Louis smirks, holding up a plastic baggy.
"Am I supposed to know what that is?" I groan, losing patience.
"They're ecstasy tablets you moron.You know, molly! Harry used to be a drug dealer, remember? Once Bella finds these she's gonna run far, far away from him. It's the perfect set up!" He squeals. Shit, that's actually a great idea.
"How are you going to get that into his car?" I ask, trying to find a hole in the scheme.
"It's not that hard to break into a car when you're Louis Tomlinson." He smiles, tilting his head sideways. "Bella is going to be a mess, and she'll need a friend. Who better to be her friend than us, right?"
"Or she might go to Zayn, or Liam, or Niall or Perrie or Chloe or her brother or..."
"Or she'll run to the best dance partner she's ever had! Haven't you and her been hitting it off really well this week?" Louis asks me.
"Yeah, but she's better friends with all of them... Plus! What if she believes Harry when he says the pills aren't his?" I question him.
"Who gives a fuck, it won't have anything to do with us." He smirks. This is a plan created by the devil himself, and it could actually work. "Are you in?"
"I'm in." I sigh, and Louis jumps up and down full of joy.
"I'm gonna get my girl and my baby! I might even be able to pull this off without using some form of kidnapping or rape, isn't that exciting?" Louis beams, and I chose to walk out the door and ignore him.
No one will be kidnapping or raping Bella if I have anything to say about it. I don't care if he get's the girl, but I don't want her to be hurt badly. She's gonna be hurt enough from Harry... For fucks sake, I don't even know who I am or what I'm doing anymore!
All I know, is that I refuse to be sent home on this show this week. Fuck Bella, fuck everyone else. All I want to do is dance, and damn it that's what I'm going to do.
