Truly, Madly, Deeply

Chapter 12: Phase One

Daffy's POV

Louis and I stayed up half of the night talking about "The Plan". Our first phase was that they would open up to eachother. I would tell Bella to talk openly to Harry for a reason unknown yet, and Louis would call Harry and tell him to do the same!

Great plan, huh?

"Bella?" I hollered through her bedroom. I logged out of my email and shut the laptop's lid closed.

"What? What's happening?bare you dying?" she asked running into the room.

"No. I need to tell you something." I said motioning for her to sit down.

"What?" she asked cautiously.

"Bella, sweetie...." I started. I didn't know how to do this. "Um, you need to talk to someone, um, about your past. Someone that's around a lot and is not Niall, Louis, Liam, Zayn, or me. Or a shrink." I added.

"So, you want me to talk about my past to Harry?" she said raising her eyebrows.

"Well, yes. He needs to know." I explained.

"But, w-" she started.

"Hush child." I said covering her mouth. "Please just do it for me?"

"Why are you so persuasive?" she laughed.

"It's my special power." I explained.

"I thought that was fortune telling?" she said.

"And that." I said.

"Oh, okay." she smiled.

"So is that a yes? You'll do it?" I squealed.

"Yes, Daffy. Just calm down."

Phase 1 complete.

Louis' POV

It was mid-day and I decided that it was the perfect time to start Phase 1 of "The Plan".

I got my iPhone out of my back pocket and dialed Harry.

*Bring Bring Bring*

*Bring Bring Bring*

Harry: "Hello?"

Me: "Hey, Haz. It's Louis.

Harry: "Oh, hey Louis. What's up?"

Me: "Just quickly, have you talked to Bells about your past?"

Harry: "No, why?"

Me: "I just think that you guys should talk about it."

Harry: "Okay...."

Me: "So you will?"

Harry: "Yeah, sure."

Me: "Okay. Bye Harry."

Harry: "Bye, Lou."

And then I hung up.

That was excruciatingly exhausting.

Bella's POV

I was sitting on the couch, petting Bronx Charlie and watching the Ellen Show. I loved Ellen. Daffy and I went one time and it was incredible.

Daffy was out at the bakery, buying us three some afternoon tea and I had a feeling that she was going to spend all of Harry's money that he gave her.

"Hey, Bella?" I heard Harry say as he came and sat down on the couch.

"Yeah?" I asked letting Bronx Charlie go.

"Um, so, I-" he stammered.

"Take your time." I laughed.

"Do, ah, do you want a hot chocolate or something?" he smiled.

"Yeah, sure!" I smiled back.

(5 minutes later)

"Thanks." I said taking my warm drink from Harry's large hand. "I used to have it all of the time back home."

"You miss home?" he asked with sympathy.

"Everyday." I frowned.

"You know what? We've known eachother for almost a month and we barely know about eachother's past." he explained.

"You want to know about my past?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"Well, yeah. If you tell me about yours, I'll tell you about mine." he smiled.

I took a deep breath and felt my heart pounding. Let's go.

"I was about 14 when my Mum and Dad separated. He was not a good man. He used to cheat in my mother and call her names and beat her up when he was drunk. I kept telling my Mum that I was scared for her sake and for mine. When he was at work one day, we left. I haven't heard of him in 7 years.

When I was about 19, I met this guy Derek, and he was.....the worst thing that I could've ever been with. He was just like my father, maybe even worse. He abused me all of the time and made me have sex with him against my will. It was horrible.

Daffy was there for me though, and she was the one who bought the tickets, found the apartment and got all of my things together. I only had two days to get out. He was in Washington and I just left. I would still be in that nightmare if it wasn't for Daff."

He looked at me in shock.

"I'm so sorry, Bella." he whispered.

"Don't worry. I'm fine now." I smiled.

He smirked. "You're so optimistic, I love that."

"It's my special skill." I laughed. "What about you? What happened in your past?"

"Well, compared to yours, mine is probably a walk in the park." he explained.

"Just give me a brief, then." I assured him.

"Okay. I was young and my parents were fighting- a lot. They split up and I lived with my Mum and my sister, Gemma. My Mum got re-married and I liked him. He was really nice.

Then, I auditioned for Xfactor and became part of One Direction. We got signed, did a world tour, got some tattoos and then I met you." He smiled.

I asked him, "When's your next world tour?"

"Not for ages yet. The boys and I have been allowed to stay in the U.K for another couple of months as long as we make some money, the said." Harry explained.

"Well it's nice to talk to you, Harry." I smiled.

"You too, Bella." he chuckled.

"Honey, I'm home!" Daffy shouted as she opened the door. "Does anybody want to get fat?"

We looked around. She had brought back a whole trolley with pastries and biscuits- including the trolley.

"Daffy, you can't steal trolleys here. It's not New York." I explained walking over to her.

"They don't have to know!" she laughed.

"We had nothing to do with this!" Harry said, smiling."

"Okay. So what did you guys do when I bought the whole store?" she asked.

"Just talked." I shrugged.

"Uh....good job!" she said ecstatically. "Oh and here. 50 pence change."

"Uh, it's okay. Keep it." Harry chuckled as he walked to the bathroom.

Daffy looked happy about something. Like part of a thing she planned was complete.

What was she up to?
