Bella's POV

I rub my eyes completely forgetting I'm still wearing last nights make up. Ugh, my head. I wish it wouldn't pound and ache so much, I can barely stand the light, it does hurt my eyes.
How much did I drink last night? I remember getting in the taxi and going to another club, but Louis and Harry both didn't come with me. Oh, shit. The kiss suddenly appears in my head and
I fall back down on to my bed. I wish that I had dreamt kissing Harry but I have a horrible feeling that it happened. The more I seem to think about it, little flashbacks appear as a reminder.

I fell out with Louis, I remember that clearly as he told me about him and Emily before we went out drinking. I shouldn't have let myself get so mad, I don't know what came over me.
I am a jealous person, I believe it's a natural feeling. It just depends how much you let it worry you, in my case with Louis I tend to get jealous very quickly. I really wish hadn't reacted like I did.

Poor Harry, he's going to hate the fact I involved him. Why did I kiss him? I know before I've had mixed feelings towards him because he's so sweet and kind, but I straightened those thoughts out as I know Harry is only my friend. I know that I don't fancy him, I care and love him but as my friend. Why have I just complicated things?

I can hear Cassie and her friends downstairs, most likely they're having breakfast. The thought of food makes my stomach churn. I also remember Lea, one of her friends, she seemed to be pretty fond of Louis. There's no point in even thinking into it, if Louis did take a liking to Lea I don't blame him. He thinks I like Harry now, I've completely blown it.

I wish I never went out now. I should have stayed home, it was only Cassie's twenty second birthday, it's not as if it was a big one. At least I know next time to stay at home and avoid any kind of drama that's possible.

"Bella" Cassie calls as she knocks on my door. "Can I come in?" She asks but the door soon opens before I have the chance to answer.

"Morning." I mumble as I sit back up and I look at her.

"I brought you some painkillers, I thought you'd need them after last night." Cassie smiles as she hands me them and a glass of water.

"Oh, thanks" I say as I take the tablets and sip the water. I place the glass down on my bedside table.

"Why don't you come and have some breakfast?" She asks and I quickly shake my head at the idea. She smirks, "I don't know, I'm two years older than you but I can handle nights out better." Cassie says proudly and I roll my eyes.

"Well congratulations." I say sarcastically and she leaves the room. I lay back down and pull the duvet over my head. I try to nod back off to sleep as I want to sleep this headache off, but my phone rings and it sounds as if it's louder than ever. I quickly throw the duvet off me and reach over for my phone. I swipe to answer.



"Hello." I mumble and I hear Harry chuckle. My eyes quickly open.

"Feeling rough?" He asks and I nod as I say yes. "Are you at home?."

"Yes I'm home. Why?" I ask as I try to sit up without feeling any more sick than I already do.

"I just wondered, we didn't know if you got home safe." He says and I can't help but smile. I think of Louis and the kiss with Harry, I start to feel stupid.

"Harry I'm really sorry about last night." I mumble and Harry sighs.

"I wasn't sure if you remembered." He says and I don't say anything. "But don't worry about it, I've forgotten all about it. Just worry about Louis." He says and my stomach starts to do somersaults.

"Is he really mad?" I ask closing my eyes as I dread the answer.

"He was, but he's not too bad now. You need to talk to him." He says and I sigh with relief as I mentally thank Louis for not being angry.

"I can come round later if I can look a little human?" I ask and Harry laughs, I can't help but smile.

"Why not. I stayed at Louis' last night and I'm still here now. But Emily's here too." Harry says warily and that makes my eyes open wide as my heart starts to race. Oh no. I've driven Louis back into her arms.

"Oh. Right. " I struggle to find words.

"She's not here because of Louis, it's because of Max. She had to stay last night as Louis has to make a statement today at the police station about Max." Harry explains and I'm instantly confused. When the hell did all of this happen?

"I don't get it, when did this happen? When did Emily see Louis?" I ask as I really hate the idea of them two together.

"We got in a fight with Max and Gary last night. Emily set Max up and now he's been arrested as she told the police everything he did to her. So now she wants Louis to tell them about the stabbing" Harry explains and I can't quite believe what I'm hearing.

"Are you both okay? You or Louis didn't get hurt in the fight, did you?" I ask and he confirms that they are both okay. I sigh with relief.

I'm glad Max had been arrested, it made me sick what he did to Louis and how hevtreafes people especially Emily, but the main relief is Louis had a plan with Harry to get Max and now he's been arrested they can't go through with it. Thank goodness.

"So is Emily staying there?" I ask as I bite my bottom lip.

"I don't think so, once this is sorted she's going to her Mum's." Harry says and I sigh with relief. "I'll be here most of the day so I'll see you later?" Harry asks.

"Right, yeah okay." I say as I clear my throat. "See you later." I add and we hang up. Knowing Emily is over there makes me feel so sour, I wish she would hurry up and leave for good. With her in the limelight, I'm just a shadow in the background.

Louis' POV

I sit with Harry as Emily continues to talk about her statement that she gave to the police. I know she's trying to make me feel more comfortable about giving my statement but I don't need convincing.

"So when are you leaving?" Harry asks as he looks at her. I know he's not fond of her and he has been pretty good around her, bit I think now he's fed up.

"I'll probably go tonight, I need to get a few more of my things and then give the police my temporary address." Emily answers and Harry nods, he looks at me and nudges me.

"Bella is coming over later." Harry says loudly, I know he's hinting at Emily to hurry up and go, but she doesn't seem to be getting it.

"When?" I ask as I'm not sure how things are going to be between Bella and I. I don't know if she's still angry at me, I don't know if I still have the right to be annoyed at her.

"I'm not sure, I don't think she's going to be long." Harry answers and I nod. There's no point in thinking about what I'm going to say to her, I'll have to wait until we see each other and just see what happens.

I look down at my phone, I've been texting Holly as I'm still trying to do 'the right thing' with certain situations. I gathered if Emily told Holly everything then hopefully their friendship can be restored. The knock on the door confirms that she must be here, I knew if I said I needed to see her she'd turn up.
I walk the door smiling, I open it and there she is stops there with a worried look.

"I don't have long.." Holly says and I nod as I let her in, closing the door behind her.

"Wait here." I say and I quickly head back into the living room and I get Emily. Her and Harry both look at me with confused looks as I pull her up off the sofa.

"What's going on?." Emily asks and I let go of her as I stand her with Holly. They both look at each other and then to me.

"What's this Louis?" Holly asks as she folds her arms across her chest. I look at her and then to Emily.

"You need to tell her the truth, help her understand the reasons to why you did what you did. If you could explain it to me then you can easily explain it to your best friend." I say and I look at Holly who shakes her head.

"You've let her brainwash you again.." Holy sighs and I shaje my head as Emily starts to curse Holly.

"No one has brainwashed me, Holly," I say as I turn to her. "There's something you need to know about Emily and Max, she's been living in hell and I think once you know you'll both agree that you shouldn't have fell out. " Holly looks at Emily, I do too and all she does is sigh as she looks away.

"I don't know where to start." Emily mumbles and I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Start from the beginning, like you did with me. Go in the kitchen and just talk it out." I say and Holly rolls her eyes.

"I've got about ten minutes." Holly says as she heads into the kitche. I gently push Emily to follow her and I can't help hit smile to myself.

"What are you doing?" Harry sighs as he walks up behind me, I turn to face him.

"The right thing for once. Those two fell out over me because of something Emily was suffering. So let's see if the truth can help them." I answer proudly and Harry shakes his head.

"But instead of worry about other people's problems, focus on your own. Like Bella, she will be here soon so make sure you prepare yourself to fix things. You want to do the right thing, then don't let her down. " Harry says and I look away and know he's right but Bella and I have alot of talking to do.

"I'll talk to her, but I'll he honest especially about your little kiss." I snap and Harry sighs as he looks away, I glance up at him.

"Just don't let her in the kitchen," Harry says and he steps closer to me, "I don't think Bella will take it well seeing your ex and your stalker in your flat." He whispers and I gently push him away, he smirks as he heads back into the living room.

It's easier helping people fix their problems, but I've never been good at fixing my own. I hope I can sort things with Bella, but I can't deny how much their kiss bothered me. I hope she understands.
