Change (Harry Styles)

Bella? (chapter17)

“Cassie, may I talk to you a minute please?” The police officer who told me they found Sophia and Olivia asks me, and I agree, detaching the girls off my strengthless body, and walk over to the other side of the room, to the officer.

“Cassie. We found Sophia and Olivia tied up in an old barn house about ten minutes away from here, with this note stuck to Sophia. Read it, and if you have any clue as to who it may be, please come back to us.” He says, handing me a slip of paper and walking away again.

I watch him as he walks away before sitting down on the nearest seat as I unfold the small piece of paper.

Cassie,

I knew you would find the girls, bravo.

But for the future; I suggest you stay away from my Harry, or else.. well, I’ll just let you find that bit out.

-xxxxx.

It took me a minute to process what the note says, and I had no idea who would take my girls in order for me to stay away from ‘their’ Harry. Then it hit me.

Bella.

I sigh angrily, ready to rip her head off. I fold up the paper, and make my way back to front desk to the officer who was talking to me only a matter of minutes ago.

“I have no idea who this could be.” I lie, I wanted to talk to Harry before I do anything. “I’ll come back if I figure anything out” I try a smile. He nods and takes the paper out of my hands and carefully places it back into the folder he took it out of.

I take lift the two girls, hitch them on my hip and walk quickly out of the stuffy station for the first time in four days; the feeling of the hot sun-rays beating down onto my tired skin actually felt a little weird, but it was good to be out, and it made it better that I’m actually leaving with Sophia and Olivia.

“I missed you Aunt Cassie” Sophia says though a yawn and Olivia nods her head in agreement, settling her head in the crook of my neck.

“I missed you too girls.” I kiss both of them on the top of the head, “You’re not going anywhere now.”  I mumble to myself more than them.

-

“HARRY, SHE TOOK THE GIRLS, AND LEFT A FUCKING NOTE ATTACHED TO SOPHIA!” I yell down the phone to Harry, pretty much on the verge of tears, first from the thought that his ex took Sophia and Olivia, and secondly from the fact that I am talking to him for the first time in four or five days now. No contact with him has driven me over the edge. I miss his hugs and reassuring kisses, I even miss his annoying tickle fights. But most of all, I miss his voice, which just adds to the reason for me to break down in tears right now.

“Cass, how do you know it was her?” Harry replies, I love how he can be so calm about all this.

“Harry. She’s the only one that wants me to stay away from you. And it five x’s at the end. And in case you didn’t notice it, BELLA HAS FIVE LETTERS.” I shout to him, he’s being a dick now.

“right. Do you want to come home or I come over there again?” He asks. And to be honest, I’m glad he did because I haven’t thought about anything apart from finding the girls, and we need to go home at some stage.

“Eh, I’ll go back to the station then book flights when I come home.” I say, already starting to put my clothes into my suitcase without even hearing his reply yet.

“text me when you’re out of the station and I’ll book them.”

“Okay.” I reply, not really listening to him now.

“Okay. I gotta go now, text me later... I love you.”  He says, hesitating on whether to say the last bit or not.

“I love you too, Harry. Bye.” I say, hanging up the phone and throwing it on the bed, finishing my packing, then I’ll do the girls after we get back. And they won’t leave my side any minute now.
