Dancing With My Scars - On Hold
Chapter 25- Crash
Standing In Front Of You - Kelly Clarkson
Bella's Point Of View:
"Niall, please just do this one thing for me! I'm not coming in tonight whether you like it or not." I sigh, drying my hair after my shower and sliding on an outfit.
"It's not gonna look good if you miss the show Bella, it's the results! What if you're getting sent home tonight?" He asks, and I chuckle.
"Well am I?" I ask.
"No..." he stammers, and a small smile forms across my face. I love being friends with the producer. "But you should still be there. Besides, what's the big deal, why can't you come in?" He asks, and I shudder.
"I just... I'm not coming in. It's complicated." I try to explain the best I can.
"Fine. I'll see you tomorrow and if you need anything, just call." He sighs before ending the call.
I send Chris a quick text telling him I won't be there and sprawl out across my bed. I just shut Zayn and Harry out of my life and I'm actually feeling pretty good. I have no regrets, because everything I just did is for the safety of Mia and myself. I may not be happy, but I get it.
I'm exhausted from getting no sleep, but I know there isn't a chance of me getting some right now. Mia is wide awake and bouncing around her crib like a maniac, and I feel sort of guilty I haven't taken her out lately. I pick up my phone and dial a number I didn't think I would ever dial again... but I'm looking to make some changes in my life so why not start with making amends.
"Hello?" She answered on the first ring.
"Hey Chloe... How are you?" I say nervously. I can sense the shock on the other end of the call, and I swear I hear her squeal.
"Hi Bella!" She squeaks probably louder than she wanted to. "I've been meaning to call you, I'm so sorry about everything with Niall but when I saw him again I--"
"It's in the past... let's leave it there and never bring it up again, alright?" I ask, and she giggles on the other end.
"Right, ok. Sorry..."
"Stop apologizing!" I laugh, letting out a small yawn. "Anyway, what are you doing today? Do you wanna hang out with Mia and I? You haven't really had a fair chance to meet her and--"
"Bell, I'm so sorry but I'm teaching a master class in the city today! I mean you can come if you want..." She pouts on the other line. Perfect.
"Ah don't be silly, I don't wanna steal your thunder! Have fun, we can always get together another time." I sigh, ending the call.
Well that sucks. I peek inside Mia's crib and decide it's gonna be a mommy and Mia day.
"Do you wanna get some Panera for lunch baby? Yeah?" I suggest, and she claps her hands excitedly. I release another shaky yawn while getting her dressed in a cute purple dress Niall had bought her a while ago.
To be honest, I really wanted someone to come out with us today. I'm completely exhausted after fighting with Harry and Zayn and getting no sleep, but you can't always get what you want.
"Ma! Hungry!" Mia cooed from behind me, making me laugh. She isn't very talkative unless she wants something, so I shake any idea of staying in away and head out he front door, yawning yet again. It's going to be a very, very long day.
Mia and I spent the whole day together, getting lunch, playing at the park and even going for a walk around town for a bit. My body is so tired and everything feels like I'm going in slow motion.
"Ma! Ma!" Mia is cooing from behind me, and I can't help but giggle, she's too sweet. My car is warm and cozy and the drive home feels like we're floating. When we get to a stop light, my eye lids feel super heavy.
"Mommy is so tired..." I murmur to Mia, closing my eyes for a second. I'm not going to doze off, I'm not going to doze off, I'm not--
Crash! Boom! Clash!
Harry's Point Of View:
After a few hours of sleeping off my hangover and misery, I decide the best way to clear my mind for the time being is to head on down to the shop. I haven't worked in what feels like ages, and hopefully business and time with the boys will do me some good... I'm still infuriated with the whole Bella thing, but I just need a break right now. If she's not going to believe me, what's even the point of trying?
"Look who's back from the dead!" Zayn shouts as I descend from the stairs of our upstairs apartment.
"Yeah, yeah... I wanna get into the ink." I grin with a bit of excitement. It's been a while since I've tattooed anybody.
"There isn't anyone who needs you right now... sorry mate." Liam explains, and I look around the room. Almost all of the chairs are filled, but each of our workers has a client already.
"Well," I sigh a little frustrated, "What can I do around here that needs to be done?" I ask. I do feel guilty that I haven't been around lately, but I've been busy with a daughter and Bella so I haven't had time.
"Someone needs to check on the other stores in the other states by phone call and there's also some paperwork to do... if you don't mind." Liam tells me, and I knit my eyebrows together in confusion.
"Why would I mind?" I ask, a little bit offended. This is just as much my business as it is theres and I always do paperwork so why is it a big deal?
"I don't know, I just don't want to put too much on your plate right now." Liam whispers, looking down. Zayn gives me a knowing look, basically telling me that he told Liam everything that happened.
"Just because Bella is being a stubborn bitch and doesn't believe me that I'm not involved with drugs doesn't mean I'm gonna sit around and sulk. I'll win her back eventually when I find some proof that it's a lie other than the basic facts, but for right now there's nothing I can do."
"What about your daughter?" Zayn asks the burning question I've been trying not to think about. What am I going to do about Mia?
"I have no idea." I sigh, shaking my head.
"Well... Just be careful, you know? I think we should all just keep a close eye on the two of them since Louis and Chris are in her life again." Liam states nervously, and I roll my eyes nodding.
"No shit." I growl, heading into the office and sitting down. Here goes nothing.
After 6 hours of paperwork and phone calls, my brain is completely fried. That was the greatest distraction I could have needed, but now it's time to head back into reality.
"Harry, are you busy?" Liam shouts over his shoulder.
"No, why?" I call from the office, but get up from the chair and head into the main room. Everyone was gone besides Zayn and Liam's clients.
"We just ordered a pizza, would you mind picking it up?" They ask, and I roll my eyes while nodding.
"Sure." I sigh as they give me the details.
I pick up the pizza and notice there are extreme amounts of traffic on the road. For fucks sake, what the hell is going on? This is New Jersey, not New York. As a police man directs me through traffic, I notice the reason for the traffic is a three car collision accident. The thing I see next however, shocks me to the core.
I feel my stomach drop and my body burn up as I see a police man holding my daughter on his hip. I pull over and sprint over to the scene in pure confusion.
"What the hell is going on here? This is my daughter, Mia Adams... or Styles." I sigh, taking her into my arms. "Where's the driver?" I ask, and he points to the ambulance.
"Whoever it was is in bad shape. It looks like she fell asleep at the wheel right at this stop light." He sighs, and I my heart nearly bursts right there.
"Is she going to be ok?! Someone better fucking tell me if she's going to be ok!" I shout at all the people surrounding me. I look around and there's only one ambulance, and all the other drivers are fine. There are paparazzis take pictures and I'm now crying in front of everyone.
"We don't know, but we suggest you call the remaining of her loved ones just in case. You can get a ride to the hospital with me if you'd prefer." The officer explains to me, but instead I race back to my car, strap Mia down as best as I can and zoom off to the hospital.
Bella is not going to die because of exhaustion and carelessness... because of how I made her feel. I can't stop the tears from flowing, and I can't get to the fucking hospital fast enough.
