Had To Be You||N.H

Chapter 47- Power

*Ella's POV*

I was sitting in the hotel room waiting for Niall to be out of the shower. I was watching teen wolf basically drooling over Dylan O'brian till a knock was at out door.

"One second." I exclaimed getting off the warm and ver comfortable king sized bed.

I turned the door knob to see James standing there in his suit and tie. His smile fades as his green eyes locked with mine.

"Yes James?" I asked looking down at the floor.

"I think we should talk." James said in a stern tone.

"Okay but not here maybe we can get coffee?" I asked.

James nodded as I quickly shut the door behind me. I walked back to the bed grabbing my phone and keys.

"Babe where are you going?" Niall asked as he walked towards the bed.

The white towel hung low on his hips and you could see his V line and Abbas. Has he been working out? I shook my head and returned to reality.

"James wanted to talk with me so I'll be back later." I said blowing a quick kiss.

I walked towards the door and open it seeing James waiting for me. I placed a small smile on my lips as we walked down the hallway.

James pressed the small button opening the elevator doors. I took a step into the small box and leaned against the wall.

The silence between us was nice and calming. It didn't calm down my nerves at all, I have no idea what he will do.  I let out a shakey breath and follow him to the little cafe in the hotel.

I take a seat across from him placing my phone on the small wooden table. I lace my fingers together and locked my eyes with his.

"Hi are we ready to order?" The lady asked.

"Yeah, can I please have a medium flat white with honey please?" I asked as she wrote down my order on the small notepad.

"And I'll just have a cappuccino." James said as the girl walked away with a smile.

"So.." I said trying to break the awkward silence.

"Look Ella I'm sorry, I was a selfish person in the past and now I am a changed man." James said.

"How are you a changed man? You nearly killed my mother?" I spat.

"I went to rehab Ella after your brothers were born, because I wanted to be involved in their life but your so called mother won't let me." James spat gripping onto the wooden table.

"I don't blame her, she wouldn't want to put them through what mum and I had to deal with." I shouted.

"And I didn't ask for you to come back into my life, you just had to be my fiancé new tour manager didn't you!" I screamed.

The whole restaurant looked in our direction. I quickly looked away trying to hide my face with my hair.

"Ella I'm sorry." James pleaded.

"For what James? Trying to kill my mother and I? And your asking for my forgiveness? Are you some sick joke James." I spat.

"Ella I'm sorry okay."

"Well sorry won't cut it James." I said.

"You might want to watch your mouth Ella, I have a lot more power then you I can easily kick you off the tour in a blink of an eye." James spat.

He hasn't changed on bit.

The waitress walked over with our coffees. James brought his jug to his lips as a smirk formed upon his lips.

"I'll just get this to go if that's alright?" I asked, the waitress nodded as I stood up from my seat.

"Ella, don't run away from your problems." James snarled.

"I'm not running away , I don't want to face the low life scum who nearly killed my mother." I spat taking the small takeaway cup from the waitress.

"Watch your back Miss Rose." James snarled once again.

I smiled at the waitress and mumbled a thank you before storming out of the small cafe.  I got into the elevator and pressed up.

I brought the small cup to my lips letting the coffee go down my throat leaving a warm feeling. 

The elevator doors open and I walk down the hallway. I got to the door and knocked in it waiting for Niall to answer.

"Niall open the fucking door!" I exclaimed knocking on it repetitively.

"It's open!" He shouted back, I turned the door knob and walk into the room. Niall was sprawled all over the kingside bed typing away on his phone.

I slipped off my shoes and walked over to the bed and flopped down onto the white ,fluffy sheets. I let out a long sigh and looked up the plain white roof above Niall and I.

"So what happen?" Niall asked.

"He basically asked for my forgiveness." I said.

"Maybe he has changed Ella, I mean he has-" Niall said siting up.

"He has what Niall? He is still the man I despise and hate for what he did, he still has that maniac look Niall." I said cutting him off.

"Just give him a try babe, then if he is still this weirdo then we can get another tour manager okay?" Niall said placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I'll think about it." I said running my hands trough my hair.

I don't want James back in my life, nor did I want to be in the same country but if it is for Niall, then fine I will but I don't think it will be such as "smooth sailing" as people say. 

We all were so happy and we were a family. Until James became some maniac and tried killing us. Mum and I had it tough for a few years till she got married again to my step father.

Then the twins came along and everything was good till my mum and step dad got a divorce, now it's just the boys, mum and I. We are fine all together, but what will happen if James sees mum again?

I don't think that will ever happen to them but what if it did?

"Ella come on." Niall said tugging my arm snapping me from my thoughts.

"Why?" I groaned as he pulled me up from the bed.

"We have to go to an interview come on."

I put on a fake smile and grabbed my things and walked out of the hotel room with Niall's hand laced with mine.

James may have power over me, and he may be older and stronger then me. But one thing for sure is that I'm not leaving anytime soon.

Hey all! We hope you enjoyed that. I wonder what's going to happen next? Please vote comment and share the book would mean a lot!

Also we both have NAPLAN coming up (which is just government testing) and updates may stop every now and then also with our half yearly examinations.

We both are truly sorry!
