Perfect Act
Disturbingly Loud
Bellas PoV
Me and Harry never really left our table for the rest of the night. We just stayed there talking. It was nice. Eventually everyone stumbled back claiming that they wanted to home now. We walked back to the apartment..... Or should I say half of us practically carried the other half. Once we got back Elenor and Louis went to there room and Liam and Dani went back to there's. Niall went back to his room and crashed instantly while me Harry and Zayn took our times getting into bed. Zayn walked into his room but quickly stuck his head out again.
"Oh, we should warn you," Zayn said hesitantly. "When Louis and El are drunk they can get.... noisy. So I suggest you try and fall asleep before they get to into things." With that he went back into his room. I stood there, not sure if I should be worried or laugh it off. Harry smiled sympathetically and gave me a hug before going back into his room.
3am
Oh my god. I know some people got loud during sex but not this loud for this long. Fuck how much had those two had to drink. All I had heard for the past 2 and a half hours was moaning, grunting screaming and Louis and El yelling each others names. Seriously guys have a little self respect and realise that we can all hear you. I decided to get a some coffee as I knew I was going to be up for a while. ((Authors note: spent about 10 minutes debating whether Bella would be a tea or coffee person. In the end I decided coffee. What do you think? If you think she's more of a tea person let me know and I might change it. Personally I think tea tastes like piss so that's what's really decided it for me in the end!)). I walked into the kitchen and found Harry already there drinking some tea. Zayn emerged from his room seconds after I did.
"Did any of you think to mention this little.....habit of there's before I agreed to let them stay here sharing a room drunk." I whined. They both shrugged, obviously to tired to answer. Right as I went over to get some coffee we heard one disturbingly loud moan/grunt/scream. I buried my face in my arms.
"Alright this is bloody disgusting." Zayn stated.
"How are the others sleeping in the rooms next to him?" I asked.
"Easy. Niall crashed when we go here and is a heavy sleeper. Dani and Liam both have sound proof headphones as they always end up in the room next to them." I sighed.
"I need some of them."
"I have an idea." Harry spoke up, "Why don't we find the place in the apartment where we can here..... Them the least, then all sleep there." I nodded but stayed put.
"Come get me when you've found the place." I couldn't be bothered moving. After about a minute they came back and stood in front of me awkwardly. I looked up.
"What?"
"Erm...." Harry trailed off so Zayn finished for him.
"The quietest spot is in your bedroom Bella." I nodded, to tired to really comprehend what that meant.
"Oh, then sleep in my room." I put my head back on my arms.
"Are you gonna come with us?" Zayn asked. I mumbled a 'cant be bothered'. Suddenly I felt two strong arms lifting my up bridal style. I didnt object and leaned into his chest, not realising that it was Harry and how much this had killed him. I felt myself slowly being lowered onto my bed. Once again they two boys stood in front of me awkwardly. I realised they were wondering were they would sleep.
"As long as you dont kick me off the bed I'm fine. You can both decide where you want to sleep. Floor, bathroom, bed. I don't care." After a few moments I felt the bed bend down as both Harry and Zayn got on it, lying down. Zayn was next to me. Surprisingly, after a few minutes I was out like a baby.
Zayns PoV
It had surprised me when Bella had said we could sleep in the bed, although I'm pretty sure she would have agreed to sharing a bed with a hippo if it meant she got sleep. Bella and Harry both fell asleep after a few minutes and I soon after, only to be awoken less then 30 minutes later. I looked next to me and saw the Bella and Harry were still asleep, but when I took a second look at Bella I noticed something wasn't right. Her face was scrunched up as if she was in pain and her breaths were shaky and fast. A tear escaped her eye, followed by more and more. Shit, she was having another bad dream. I went to wake her up but then stopped myself. Only I knew about her nightmare 'episode' and I knew she wanted it to stay like that. If I woke her up like I had last time she might have another breakdown, then Harry would find out. I couldn't wake her. But I couldn't just leave her like this. She was in pain. I decided not to wake her. Instead I pulled her a little closer to me and gently rubbed her back in circles in the hopes that it may calm her down. It didnt do much but after about 20 minutes she had stopped crying and her face was a little bit more relaxed. By only a little. I noticed that my cheeks were wet, and realised that I had been crying too from seeing her like this.

"You slut"
"Worthless piece of shit"
"Lucky that someone like me even took a second look at you,"
I woke up with a gasp, breathing heavily and sweating. I panicked when I felt someone's arms around me, then realised it was Zayn. I shifted and looked at him. His eyes were open and his cheeks were tear stained.
"Bella are you ok," he whispered. I could feel tears still spilling out of my eyes. I nodded softly. I was ok. Wasn't I? It was just a dream. A flashback. A dream. It wasn't real. It was over.
"Bella I'm so sorry I didn't want to wake you becasue I didn't want Harry to find out I'm so sorry Bella you looked like you were in pain I'm so sorry I should have woken you." He sobbed. I had done this. I had made Zayn upset like this. It was my fault. Nothing good every come out of me. I snuggled closed into his arms.
"Thank you for not waking me Zayn." I stayed lying in his arms until we heard Harry move, then we quickly broke apart and pretended to still be asleep. It was a long night.
Harry's PoV
I snuck out of bed, not wanting wake the others and made some tea and coffee. The coffee for Bella. Her and Zayn soon emerged from her room looking even more tired than I was, which I didn't think was possible. Then Louis and El came downstairs, looking awake and lively.
"Morning sunshines," Louis smiled. Bella gave him a death glare which I'm surpised didn't make him run for the hills,
"Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning" he mumbled. Instantly Zayn held Bella back from lunging and Louis. She took a deep breath.
"Next time you two want to have loud drunken sex, no, next time you two want to have sex and make noise, get a fucking hotel room." El's face went red immediately and she looked extremely embarrassed. Louis looked at the ground.
"Oh, er sorry..." He looked at Bella. She sighed and her face softened once she saw how embarrassed El was. She grabbed a cup of coffee. We all watched her as she finished the cup and went back into her room. Closing the door behind her. 3 hours later she came out again (still in her pjs!) and had a piece of toast. Once again we were all watching her. She turned to us.
"What?" We all went back to what we were doing. She shrugged and went back to the bathroom. Slowly, we all went back to our bedrooms, none of us being in much of a talkative mood.

I let the hot water from the shower wash of the memories of last nights dream. Or at least i tried. I hadnt had a dream for months apart from that one flashback. Why now? Then it hit me. Last night at the club, Harry called me a slut. After about 20 minutes I stepped out of the shower......only to realise had forgotten to bring clothes. Shit. I looked around the bathroom and realised that all I had was one tiny towel that was only just able to cover both my boobs and ass at the same time. I wrapped it around my body and prepared myself to walk back to my room, praying that the others were all still in there rooms. I stepped out of the bathroom and clothed the door..... And to come face to face, more like face to chest with Harry. A very shirtless Harry. My eyes instinctively shot down to his perfect abs. Wow. He had an insanely hot body. My cheeks flushed and shot I my eyes back up to his face, only to see that he was staring at my body. My breath caught as I remembered that I was dripping wet and only had a towel on.
"I-um-er...." I trailed off, not sure of what to say in this situation. His head shot back up and he looked at me, probably only just remembering that I had a face too.
"Um-well-I..." Looks like Harry didnt know what to say either.
"I'm gonna go." I said and walked around him hurrying into my bedroom. Well. That was awkward.
Harry's PoV
Let's recap. When I meet her I'm awkward and stuttery. Then I avoid her. Then we become close. Then I realise I'm falling for her. Then I call her a slut after telling her to fuck off. Then I stare at her, dripping wet, with only just a towel covering her body. Then I don't say anything and just stand there as she walks away. Yeah. Good job Haz. I sighed and walked upstairs, slamming the door. For the next few days I stayed in my room doing what I was best at, hiding from my problems like a fucking coward. I just thought. A lot. About Bella. She was perfect. Her hair, her smile, her laugh, her witty comments. Everything about her was perfect. I looked at the clock. 5pm. Deciding that I might be able to get an hour or so of sleep, I closed my eyes, but Louis barged in shortly after.
"What's got your knickers in a knot Haz? Your not one stay in your room for this long." He said in his stupid overly cheerful voice.
"Fuck off Lou." I said not looking at him. I felt him come sit next to me.
"Wow your really down about somthing."
"Nah shit Sherlock," I scoffed.
"Mate what's going on with you." I huffed and stood up grabbing a shirt and pulling in on.
"I'm going for a walk." With that I walked out of the apartment, ignoring everyones voices behind me.

Notes
Here, as promised is the next chapter. Alright, here is how the next chapter will work. It is a 3 part chapter. I will post parts 1 and two at the same time (or almost at the same time) then I will wait a day and post the third part of the chapter.
Lemme know what you think!!! I've decided to try (emphasis on the try part) to put one or more questions at the end of the chapter and ask for your answers in the comments. I have over 3,000 veiws (wow that really came as a surprise to me) and 14 followers (thank you so much to those 14 people I feel so special that you all like my story) but I'm not really getting many comments from different people. So please please please leave your answers to the questions in the comments please. :) xoxoxo
What do you think the big triple chapter will be about?
Holy fuck I need to know what happens. Please just tell me Harry and Bella make it through everything and end up together because I might lose my mind if not. This is so good but holy shit my emotions
