The Exchange (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

*fast forward two weeks since Harry came back!*

Belle's POV

"This came in the post for you today." Jay said bringing a letter to me while I was working on some homework and Harry was playing with my hair.

"Thank you?!" I said with some question and confusion in my voice, because i don't know who would send me a letter. I guess Jay picked up on my questioning tone and said "It's from your parents. Do I need to stay up here for support?"

"You can if you want to." I kind of hoped Jay would stay. I mean I have Harry for support but just in case I need more support. Something tells me that whatever is in this envelope isn't pretty. The envelope looks very official and it had my parent's lawyer's name on it. She did end up staying which I'm thankful for.

I read the letter quietly to myself.

My parents disowned me. As in, I'm no longer their child, they're no longer my parents. I knew they were pretty upset but what's up with this? They just basically put me up for adoption in my teenage life. My parents practically put on paper that they didn't want or love me.

I but my lip to hold the tears back but it didn't work. I mean right now I don't know where I'm going in a few weeks when my time here is up.

I immediately walked towards Harry and fell into his arms. He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead, making me feel loved when I wasn't feeling too loved right now. I buried my head into his shoulder crying into it.

"Babe what's wrong? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Of course I wanted to tell Harry. I picked the document up and let him read it while I continued to cry.

"That is horrible. How could a parent do that to their child. I'm sorry love." Harry said. He had disgust in his voice.

I didn't wanna say anything because I was still crying. Harry just wrapped his arms around my waist and embraced me in a hug. "Shhh it will be okay babe. I love you forever." Harry whispered in my ear while rubbing my back and quietly humming "Little Things" in my ear. It's my favorite song by the boys and always makes me feel better, so Harry hums or sings it to me when I'm upset.

"Belle what happened dear; is it okay for me to know?" Jay asked. I forgot about her for a minute or two.

"Of course Jay. Here." I said drying my eyes and handing her the paper. Then I went back to Harry's grip.

"DISOWNED?! Oh my God why would they do this to you Belle?! Why do parents have the right to do this in America?"

"I don't know. It's a weird country Jay." I said getting out of Harry's arms, to let her hug me.

"Why do you think they did this to you?" Jay asked me and I know why they did this.

"Well, the night after Beauty and The Beast when I woke up from my nap I looked at my phone and saw that my father had called me. So I called him back to see what he needed, but my mom answered and said 'What do you need?' And I said 'Dad called me. I want to see what he needed. She said oh well he's out right now. So I said okay but before I hung up she said 'how is everything? You still with Harry?' I answered back yes ma'am. And he even got me signed to a talent agency. Then she was outraged about that, and hung up."

"Why would your parents be like that?" Jay asked

"They only want me to be a rich lawyer. Which I've Never wanted to do."

"I'm sorry Belle. Look me and Dan both love you like an extra child. So maybe we can adopt you and you can live with us." Jay said hugging me. I couldn't believe she would do that for me.

"Thanks I'd like that." I said and smiled at her.

"You're welcome sweetheart." She smiled at me and released me from her hug.

Harry's POV

Belle gets to stay!

I'm thinking about talking to Jay and seeing if she can go live with me after this semester of school. If she can stay with me in Cheshire during the holidays. I want to be with Belle during the holidays but I don't want to have to stay at the Tomlinson's house. I'm sure mum would be fine with it. She loves Belle almost as much as I do.

*A few hours later*

I walked back up the stairs to find Belle. I had asked Jay if it was okay for Belle to stay with me during the holidays, and she said it was, which I'm ecstatic about.

"Belle?" I said walking into her room where she was just sitting on her bed looking at her phone.

"Yeah?" She looked up and smiled at me.

"Will you come spend the holidays with me and my family, in Cheshire after you finish school this semester?"

Belle's POV

Harry just asked me to come stay with him during the holidays. I kind of hoped he would ask me that.

"Of course I will Harry. I'd be honored."

"Great! Just as soon as school is over for the holidays we will fly to Cheshire then you're going to start acting so you can live in London in our flat complex." Harry said. I'm really excited about getting to stay.

"That's the perfect plan Harry, but I'm going to school when I'm not acting."

"Why?" I'm sure Harry doesn't understand that but oh well.

"Because I may not act forever and I'll need an education."

"Belle you cease to fascinate me." Harry said. I know he really doesn't understand me but whatever, he loves me anyway.

"So it's settled? Jay is going to adopt you, but you're pretty much living with my mum for a while?" Harry asked making sure we had the plan right.

"It's settled!" I said excitedly and smiling at him.

"That's great. I'm so glad you're agreeing to stay with me!" Harry said an pulled me in for a hug. He held me tight and rubbed his hands up my back.

"I am too." I said still embraced in his arms. I have a feeling this is going to be the best Christmas I've ever had.

Heeeyyy lovelies!!! I'm sorry this chapter sucks but I'm working on another one I should have up either later tonight! I PROMISE that one will be better so just bear with me! Love y'all! <3
