Love Me {Sequel To Last Hope}

Chapter Ten-Princess Tellie Part II

"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now. And all the roads we have mto walk are winding, and all the lights that lead us there are blinding. There are many things I'd like to say to you but I don't know how. Because maybe your gonna be the one that saves me." - Oasis, Wonderwall

"It's a ridiculous idea." Chantelle snapped. She said ridiculous but the gears in her mind were turning; she was trying to decide whether it was actually that ridiculous. Which when you thought about it it wasn't. Not really. "Bella's not that kind of person."

"Louis thought that about Tellie." I said bluntly. Chantelle just grew weary. "And I actually witnessed Tellie trying to kill herself once. We once woke up to her holding a knife in her wrist and Zayn had to rip it out of her hand. And after that she ended up fainting from blood lose and Louis and I spent five hours while she was in hospital. And on top of that you don't even want to hear the things she has done to herself. I shudder at just the story's of it let along witnessing it... And nobody saw it coming with her. We can't be sure if Bella's not like that..."

Chantelle continued with whatever she was baking, furiously rolling with a rolling pin and scowling. "That's different." She was flustered. "Tellie was and probably still is mentally ill. Bella is not mentally ill. I know. I make sure of my kids health. Unlike Louis, who as you said, had the daughter trying to kill herself, probably because she didn't have anybody checking on her health, like I do with our kids. I check on our kids. I talk them every day, find out what's up and I make sure they're fine. We are good parents. Not that I'm calling Louis a bad father or... I'm not. I'm really not but I'm just saying he wasn't consistent on checking on his daughters health like we are. If something major was up We would know. So Bella isn't going to be slitting wrists any time soon. So please stop thinking it."

"I saw blood Chan-"

"There's heaps of reasons blood could be there." She hissed. "For starters, maybe she tripped over. Oh what if she accidentally got cut while shaving her legs? Maybe she's on her period!"

"On the sink?"

"You right that ones not plausible but I'm just showing you examples oh how blood isn't a sign of complete and utter self destruction!" She snapped. I started to say something, only to be cut off by Jace swinging into the room.

"Are we talking about Bella?" He asked. It was odd to see Jace home at this time. Especially considering he was meant to be at his friends house for something . But he took a seat on a stool, grabbed an apple and looked between us.

"Why would you think that?" Chantelle snapped. I shot her a look. "No Niall."

"Self destruction?" Jace laughed. "That's obviously Bella. She's gone a definite self destruction task. It's kinda freaky actually. She's doing that thing you know?"

"We don't." I said cooly. Chantelle just looked wearied with every second. Putting down her rolling pin and watching Jace intently. I was curious to hear what he said. Especially about Bella. It was odd to even get Jace to talk about his own life. He liked to leave whenever he could and he was only turning fifteen soon. But he got away with it. Simply because we ran out of time to chase him up on it.

"There's a name for it." He said. "I can't think of it right now. But um, it's that thing where you eat food, like a lot of it. A real lot of it, and then goes and throws all of it up to try and get skinnier." He shrugged like it was s normal thing to say. And we both just stared.
