Dancing With My Scars - On Hold
Chapter 36- Parents
The Bells - Lea Michele (song to listen to while reading)
Harry's Point of View:
"He said they were going back to their roots, I heard it on the phone!" I explain to the officer in a raging tone. This cannot be fucking happening again. Bella is kidnapped by Louis again and I was dumb enough to let it happen, I was dumb enough not to blow his brains out of his head the last time I had to opportunity to do so.
"Sir, what could be considered her 'roots?'" The male officer asks just as Zayn and Niall pull up to the police station.
"Little Stream in England... Scotchdale too. Not this continent unless it's Los Angeles, you could check there too." I choke out, and the officers eyes go wide.
"A cross continental search?" He asks, and I nod. His small panicked expression turns into a large one and immediately gets on his walky-talky and shouts commands, lots of them. Niall immediately starts talking with the officers, giving them the address' of the places that we stayed or lived in over the past few years and ideas of where he thinks Louis might have taken her.
"Call Chris Avery! He is Louis' brother!" Zayn shouts to all the policemen and they nod, I presume getting right on that.
My hands are shaking so quickly and my heart is racing at the speed of fucking light. I can hear it in my ears, and my head feels like it's going to explode. Where the hell could they have gone? The only place that sticks out in my mind for 'roots' is Little Stream, but what if they aren't there? What if they're in Scotchdale? What if they're in neither of those places?
Louis is capable of so much, too much. I hate this bastard, and I want my girls to be safe. Something inside me tells me that he won't hurt Bella, but I don't know about Mia. Mia is mine, not his. I'm a fucking parent, I need my child. I haven't known her long but for fucks sake, I need Mia here with me just as much as I need Bella.
"Mate, sit down for a minute." Zayn whispers, wrapping his arm around my torso and settling me down into one of the chairs in the station.
"What if they can't find them?" I choke out, pulling at the curls on top of my head.
"We found them last time, and we're gonna find her this time... with or without the help of the police." He tells me, a very serious look on his face.
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" I choke out, liking where this is headed.
"Round up Niall, Liam and Drew because we all know where they are." He informs me, a smile on his face. I love Zayn, I really fucking do.
"Little Stream." We say in unison and just like that, I have the confidence I need to follow through with my instinct. God I hope we're right because if not, this is going to be a chase of a lifetime and it won't end well for any of us.
Bella's Point of View:
My eyes shoot open the minute I feel the slightest bit awake and my body immediately shifts into panic mode. I have absolutely no bloody idea where I am and this room is dark, too dark. My hands feel underneath me and I sit up slowly-- I've been asleep on a floor. The last thing I remember was food shopping with Mia and then Louis came and...
"Louis!!" I scream out, and immediately stand up, looking for something, anything in this empty room. Why the hell is there no furniture in here? I continue searching around the room until I see a faint light coming from the corner... A window?
I race towards it and pull the curtains away, however what I see next makes my body begin to shake. The dark green grass and suburban neighborhood is all too familiar the houses that line the block haven't changed a bit.
I'm in my old house--my old bedroom. Louis brought me to Little Stream. I quickly race backwards in the pitch black room and clutch the door knob, and to my surprise it swings open. There were not guards blocking the way, not even a trap to stop me from walking further out.
Slowly, I make my way down the long flight of wooden stairs and sick memories haunt me-- my mom and dad's screams, Jamie's young laughter and the sound of glass shattering rings through my ears, it's almost too much. As I reach the bottom steps, I rush towards the front door, my escape. I flip the old latch up and tug it open, but this time I'm not so lucky. This time, I'm scared out of my bloody mind.
"Going somewhere?" Josh smiles at me, his sick and mental smile. I quickly try and shove past the supposed to be dead boy, but he grabs me by the waist and drags me inside.
"What the fuck is this Josh, huh?" I shriek, struggling in his grip. "Where's my daughter? Where's Louis? Why are we even here?!" I bombard him with questions as he throws me down onto my couch--the same couch that was here when I left.
"I go by 'Rob' now," He chuckles about his new alias, "Bells, didn't you miss me?" He smirks, and my eyes go wide at his appearance. You can easily notice the distinctive change in his features, he's almost unrecognizable. If I hadn't heard his horrid voice in my nightmares or remember what his tattoos looked like, I might not have even known it was him.
"What do you want with me?" I ask, curling my knees to my chest. My eyes can't help but gaze around my old home and my mind is searching for any kind of explanation for this madness.
"Me? I want nothing to do with you. I actually have got a life outside of helping Louis, a girl and a kid and everything." Josh smirks proudly, making my insides twist.
"You have a kid and you're helping Louis kidnap me and my daughter? How would you feel if someone did that to your family!" I shriek, trying to bargain with him. He looks down at me and rolls his eyes, showing me he is the same heartless bastard he always has been, just with a different name and appearance under his belt.
"Don't try and guilt me, Bella. You know that won't do you any good." He smirks, hopping up onto my old kitchen counter.
"Where's Louis? Why am I here?" I ask yet again.
"Louis will be here any moment with a very exciting surprise, love. I think you're gonna love it." He smiles at me and cringe.
"Unless Louis is gonna walk through that door with Harry and Mia, I'm not gonna love anything!" I shout back at him. My feet find their way back to the ground and I lift my fist to swing at Josh's face, but he quickly deflects it.
"Enough of that." He laughs, and I struggle even harder in his sleazy embrace.
"Let me fucking go!" I scream, kicking and slapping at him as hard as I can. My knee makes it's way to his dick and jabs his really hard, so hard he's on the floor clutching himself.
"Fuck you!" He shouts from his knees. Again, I find myself sprinting towards the front door, listening to Josh's footsteps from behind me. Just as I swing it open, he tackles me to the ground and pulls my arms behind my back.
"What the fuck is going on in here?" I hear Louis' voice, confident and strong from across the lawn. Since Josh is on top of me, I can't look up but I can hear gasps that aren't coming from Louis or Josh. Bystanders? Neighbors?
"Help me!!" I scream as Josh puts a hand over my mouth and stands me up straight.
"The only person that can help you is yourself, Bella." He whispers in my ear, and I finally glance up at Louis who is just exiting a car, a different car from earlier at the food store... Was that even today? Why can't I remember anything? Louis has a devilish grin on his face and before I can take in the rest of his appearance, the backseat doors pop open.
A man and woman exit the backseat, holding and hands and smiling strangely at me. They look young but their hair is turning slightly grey and the bags under their eyes share a story of trauma and stress. Their eyes are glistening with tears and I notice that one of them is holding a baby, my Mia. They look familiar, so familiar but I can't put my finger on who they--
"My daughter! My beautiful, beautiful daughter!" The woman coos, racing towards me and putting a hand on my cheek. Her touch instantly makes me feel a spark and I drop to my knees in disbelief.
"Mommy?" I gasp out.
This cannot be happening. This has to be a dream but as the man comes closer, I see that he also resembles my father too much to be anyone different.
"Hi baby girl. Welcome home!" He smiles, and leaves a kiss on my sweat glistening forehead. My mother follows behind, and I remain on my knees, too shaken up to react.
"Surprised? You're welcome." Louis chuckles, scooping me up from Josh's grip and carrying me inside.
My dead mother is alive and my missing father is here, and I am a total fucking zombie.
Harry's Point of View:
