Proven.

Chapter 19

Natalie's Pov

No... No.. and no. I'm not ready to tell Harry the story, I'm not ready to even relive it. I try my hardest to push that memory to the darkest part of my mind. Every time I get into details of that story, I tend to get sick or black out. Our family doctor said that it was just a side effect of the incident, and that it was my own form of a panic attack.

Harry's deep and raspy voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"She doesn't have to tell me now, she can when she's ready."

I gave him a small smile for him being able to understand I'm not ready. Obviously he noticed my hesitation on speaking about it. I looked at El who was nodding her head.

"Okay that's fine, but she really needs to tell you as soon as you land in Chicago. No later okay Natalie?"

I know that El doesn't want to pressure me into anything, but I don't understand why he has to know the story. Why can't he just know I'm being chased down by a psychotic man who is suppose to be in prison? I decided to just let it be, so I left it with a 'ok.' I know nobody understands why this is so hard for me, but if you had to go through what I went through you wouldn't want to talk about it either. I've had to repeat this story one to many times. I've had to tell my parents once it happened, but I told El first of course and there's a reason to that, and I've had to tell the police and the courts. All of those times have resulted in me having my own form of panic attack, which I told you about. I just don't want to tell it, because I go back to this dark state of my mind.

Later on El stopped working on the 'mission,' and Harry left to go pack. El was done with her part, because Zayn and the other guys he associates with will do the rest. El just had to pick out our locations, and where we will be staying. Zayn will find out why 'He's' out of prison. I know what you're thinking. Does Zayn know what happened? No he doesn't, but he will tomorrow morning once he hacks into the prison files. I don't mind as much as what I usually would, because he's helping me and he's a good guy. Harry and I will be leaving in the morning to go to my family reunion, and then on Sunday at noon we will be going to the airport to leave for Chicago. Also, we found out our other location we will be going is Albuquerque, New Mexico. Would I be crazy if I said I was excited to go to Albuquerque? I've missed the warm weather, so crazy or not I'm excited for this little "vacation." I will finally get to wear my high waisted shorts!

As of right now I'm packing my outfits for our "vacation." I get to wear a vast amount of clothing on this "vacation," because of the different temperatures in Chicago and Albuquerque. El will be flying out to Albuquerque whenever we go there, so she can have a little get away also.

"I'm really going to miss you."

I turned around to see El siting on her bed, looking down at her hands. I smiled at the thought of having my best friend miss me.

"El you won't go long without seeing me. After the week is over in Chicago, then you will be flying out to Albuquerque. It will be alright."

I sat down beside her and nudged her shoulder with mine trying to lighten the mood. When she looked up at me I saw her red puffy eyes that has tears coming out of them.

"I'm scared about this Natalie."

"Awe Ella oh my gosh please don't cry! It's going to be okay, I'm going to be okay. Zayn is going to find out what's going on, and Harry is going to keep me safe. I'm going to be alright. Okay?"

I had my arms wrapped around her, and she had hers around me. Her crying had died down a little to a sniffling cry, but the tears were still there. I hate seeing Ella cry, it breaks my heart.

"Let me go with you." El said while looking up at me with tears in her eyes, but her face held a serious expression.

This is an example of how close we are. Ella and I are like sisters, if one of us is put in danger then the other one will get in it too. We would both risk our lives for each other, but in this case I need Ella to stay out of. It's way to risky to be throwing her life out on the line for me, she's already done enough. I've tried to stop Harry from going with me, but he won't listen.

"No Ella. It's too much this time. Harry will be there for me. Just stick to the plan and come out later on. Okay?" I said it with a stern face and voice.

Of course Ella being Ella will find some way to get involved, so as always she found a loop hole.

"Let me at least come to the family reunion with you tomorrow, my family will be there so I can stay with them. Then I can go to the airport and say goodbye to you guys. Please Natalie?"

Our family is really close, so whatever type of function our family holds Ella's family comes. Its the same way with my family, we go to all of their functions.

"Ella I really don't -"

"Please!" She cut me off mid sentence.

I'm not weak or anything, but Ella can do this puppy dog face where her eyes water, and lip trembles. You can't say no to it, and I always give in.

"Fine." I said with a huff and a roll of my eyes.

"Yay! Thank you, thank you! I'm so happy now, I can't wait to punch that slit of a cousin you have."

I started laughing a loud obnoxious laugh, because to me I find it hilarious to think of Ella punching someone. She's already punched Jessica before, but to everyone else Ella is this sweet short petite innocent girl. The saying 'looks can be deceiving' fits El just right.

"Please do."

<~>

I woke up this morning, and I've been running around like the world is going to end. I want to look absolutely amazing for whenever Josh sees me. If you're wondering why I care, then the answer is simply I'm a girl and I care.

Ella has me sitting down right now while she fixes my hair and makeup. It was her idea for me to be (in her words) "smoking hot." Ella has already done her hair which she straightened and her makeup has a natural look, but with a brown and white smokey eye that matches her white dress. Ella's dress is a long sleeved dress that goes above her knee, and it has lace at the top and a brown belt around her waist. She's wearing brown heels that match her belt perfectly.

"Okay put this dress on, and then you can look at yourself." El said with a bright smile.

I took the dress and looked at it. It was a cream white that had jewels at the top with a embroidered design, and light thin ruffles that went right above the knee. It had thin long sleeves that had thin ruffles past the middle of the arm, and it ended right above the wrist. There was a embroidered design on the shoulder too. The dress was gorgeous. I put it on, and it for perfectly in all the right places. I slipped on my black heels that were red underneath the shoe. They were none other then Louis Vuitton.

I walked into our bathroom, and when I looked at myself I was shocked. The person I was looking at didn't look like me, but it was in a good way. I'm not trying to sound self conceited, but I looked beautiful. El had put loose curls in my hair that fell at the mid of my back, and my makeup consisted of foundation that fit my skin tone perfect, a smoky eye that was a blackish color and a white, I was wearing a darker blush then usual. My eyeliner was perfect, and my mascara. I had on a light pink lipgloss.

"I did great didn't I?"

El was standing behind me with a confident smile on her face.

"Yes you did, thank you so much!"

We were in the middle of a hug, when there was a knock on the door. Harry was coming at ten, and it was ten.

"Ready?" El asked while walking to the door.

"Ready."
