Diana's Child #Wattys2015

New Look

Ella's POV

"Ella are you okay?" Jonah asked softly while looking at me, I barely said a word since Maria left. I just looked at my feet pretending I cant hear him, I didnt want to speak about it I was too upset.

"Ella you have to talk to us" Harry pleaded, I could tell he was really worried,

"Ella?" Kate asked and took my hand softly, "Sweetie you have to tell us whats bothering you"

"She lied to me" was all I could say,

"What?" she asked softly and moved my hair out of my face,

"She almost killed herself to try and protect me, when in all fairness she put me more in the limelight"

"Ella I'm sure she never meant for anything like that to happen" Harry asked,

"I dont care she should have just told me" I muttered, Kate put her hand in mine and made me look at her,

"She did it to protect you Ella, she wanted what was best for her little girl"

"I'm not her little girl though Kate, my mum's dead and I almost died" I bit at her when I never ment to. Kate looked at me shocked and so did my brothers I looked down at my feet before speaking. "I am so sorry Kate I never meant it like that"

"It's fine love, I know why your so snappy and upset" she held my hand a little tighter, I sighed before getting up,

"I'm gonna go upstairs for a few mins need some space" I spoke while walking up to my room

Once in my room I walked over to my dresser and looked in the mirror, I hate what I looked at, a girl who didnt know what to do with her life. She had everything, the perfect life, perfect home, perfect family, perfect friends, perfect boyfriend. But yet she's still not happy. Why is that?

These were the questions that kept floating around in my head as I picked at every little piece of my face that I didnt like, my eyes then fell down to the pair of scissors that were on my dresser. Before you ask, 'is she going to cut herself?' the answer is no. I picked up the scissors, pulled a strand of my long blonde hair, drew in a deep breath and cut the piece of strand free from my hair. It felt like a weight was lifted and soon enough I cut more of my hair off, I cut it up to my shoulders first but then I started to cut more shorter till it was almost boy cut. I set down my scissors and looked at the new face. I jumped out of my skin when a knock came from my bedroom door.

"Come in" I managed to choke out, my door opened and in came Jonah, I looked away from him so I couldnt see his face when he saw what I did to my hair, I just stared at myself in the mirror.

"Ella, what happened?" he asked kneeling beside me,

"I just wanted to look different" was all I muttered, I looked down the floor around my chair to see strand upon strand of my hair laying on the floor,

"Why didnt you call me or someone?"

"I wanted to do it for myself, I wanted to feel different"

"Do you feel different babe?" I turned and looked at him,

"I do, I feel like a whole weight has been lifted off my shoulders" I smiled, Jonah took my hand gently and lifted me up and lead me downstairs. Once we got to the living room where my brothers and Kate we're sitting I could hear gasps.

"Ella...." William spoke while getting up, he stood infront of me and touched my now very short hair,

"I did it for me William, I wanted to be different, a fresh start" I told him, Kate stood up and walked over,

"Well sweetie, let me call a stylist cause you've missed a few bits, would you like that?" she asked, I turned to look at her,

"I'd love that" I smiled at her. She smiled back and walked off to make a phone call. I turned to look at my brothers who looked gobsmacked, "I had to do it guys"

"Why though Ella, all cause of everything that happened?" Harry asked me,

"Because I dont want to look at the same girl who got kidnapped everyday, I wanted a change, a fresh start"

"You could have hurt yourself Ella"

"I know how to handle scissors Harry, I'm not five!" I argued,

"I know your not Ella, but your my baby sister, it's in my blood to worry about you" Harry told me and I bit my lip, I tried my hardest not to cry. All of a sudden one of the guards came into the living room,

"Princess there are a group of girls outside buzzing and begging us to let them in to see you"

"Who is it?"

"They said something like 'cupcakes'" he spoke and a big grin came across my face,

"Let them in I know who they are" I told him with a smile and he vanished to let them in,

"Who is it Ella?" William asked,

"The girls, Roxy, Samantha, Elkie and Sarah" I fixed my jumper and walked over to the big front doors, "I'll let them in" I smiled and opened the double doors to reveal my four best friends walking across the stoney floor. They all stopped when they saw me and their mouths dropped,

"Ella" Roxy spoke while I walked out of the doorway and towards them,

"Hey guys" my eyes filled with tears, they all run towards me embracing me in their arms, I hugged them all tightly until Elkie pulled me away and made me look at them,

"What the hell happened!!" she exclaimed, where she ovbiously was worried about me.

"I was kidnapped"

"No I know about that! I mean about your hair!" she picked a small strand,

"Dont you guys start my brothers were the exact same"

"Guys she wanted to make a change, forget the past" Roxy said smiling at me, this is why me and Roxy are friends, she understands me. Elkie is my gobby friend I've always gotton on with, Samantha was the one who gave the best advice and Sarah was someone I grew up with.

"Exactly that, guys come on in its cold out" I told them and we started to walk back inside the palace.

We spent the next three hours talking and catching up, showing the girls my room and then back downstairs to get my hair finally styled to how I wanted it, it was now shorter and looked like a boy cut, but in some strange way it suited me, it was sort of Samantha from Sex and the City style when she had it cut really short. I looked in the mirror and Jonah appeared from behind me,

"You look beautiful" he whispered into my ear and he gently kissed the side of my head and wrapped his arms around me,

"Jonah we need to talk" I said,

"What about?"

"Well it's just, are you sure you want me?"

He laughed, "Ella you being stupid again" he chuckled,

"It's not funny!" I gave him evil stares,

"Of course I want you, I've wanted you since day one Isabella, I love you" he spoke and rested his forehead on mine,

"I love you too" I spoke and gently kissed him. A new and good change. A new start with my friends, family and boyfriend.
