You know, I know

Chapter 3

It's been a week since Bella found out Jax was cheating on her and she hasn't left the house since. She's ignored all of the messages and calls that she had gotten off of her friends. At one pint she was about to throw her phone so I had to take it off her and calm her down. That's what my week has been like is looking after my sister. My sister who is suffering from heart brake. My sister that is braking ever minute of the day.

Today Niall is coming over and I look a mess. I have bags under my eyes from staying up all night with Bella and from doing the house work when moms at work. I haven't had anytime to sleep. They only time that I can sleep is when Bella is asleep but then she wakes up and starts crying again.

Niall now has his own key to the house so when he comes he's just going to walk in. I'm in the kitchen cooking cup cakes. The front door opens and closes, I feel a pair of hands wrap around my waist from behind and a head rest on my shoulder watching what I'm doing. "Hello princess" he says and I know it's Niall.
"Hi" is all that I can say, I'm physically drained and I don't trust my voice.
"Tired baby?"
"Yeah"
He kisses my neck and walked over to the sink and washes his hands and starts putting the cup cakes into the oven. "Thank you" I say after he has put all of the trays into the oven. I clean up the mess and run upstairs to get changed.

I walk out of my room and I hear a razor sound coming from the bathroom, I push the door open to find Bella about to shave the side of her hair.
"NIALL" is the only word that I can form.
Niall comes running up the stairs and pushes past me.
"Bella put the razor down" he said calmly. Bella doesn't listen. "Bella put the razor down now" he says again and she doesn't listen. He unplugged the plug from the socket and Bella put the razor down.
"Bella what was you doing" I ask, my voice cracking at the end.
She doesn't answer me, she pushes me out of the way and goes into her room. I follow her into her room.
"Bella why was you going to shave the side of your head?" I ask calmly
"I CAN DO WHAT I WANT OLIVIA YOU'RE NOT MY MOM"
"I KNOW THAT I'M NOT YOUR MOM BELLA BUT WHEN MOMS AT WORK I HAVE TO LOOK AFTER YOU AND PROTECT YOU"
"I DON'T NEED YOU TO PROTECT ME"
"I'M ALL YOU HAVE WHEN MOMS AT WORK"
"GO TO HELL!!"She shouts loud enough for the whole street to hear.
I can't even form a word, I turn around on my heal and run out the door and into Niall's open arms.
"It's okay, she didn't mean that baby, she's upset, give her some time"
"I can't handle this anymore Niall it's too much, I've had no sleep in the last week, I'm looking after Bella 247. It's too much".
" I know it is and you need a brake. I'll take her to school now, and you go in there and go get some sleep". He said pointing to my room and I nod.
"Niall"
"Yes liv?"
"I love you"
"I love you too toots".

I walk into my room after hearing the front door close and get into some pj shorts and a t-shirt. I lie in bed tossing and turning trying to get to sleep but I can't. I can't sleep because I'm not relaxed. I lie there for 20 minutes when the front door opens and closes. Niall walks into my room and kicks of his shoes.
"I thought I said to get some sleep baby" he said with care.
"I couldn't get to sleep".

Niall pulls the covers back and climbs in next to me.
"Niall" I giggle as he moves closer to me.
He wraps his arm around me and puts his head on the pillow next to mine.
"Now can you try to sleep for me toots?"
"I could try but I'm gonna miss being with you" I pout
"I'm not going anywhere, I might go to sleep too I'm T-I-R-E-D" he sings the last part.
"Okay" I say as I role my eyes and he swats my arm.
"Don't role your eyes at me"
" I can if I want too" I say with sarcasm
"That's it", he removes his arm from around me and jumps onto his knees and starts tickling me.
"Niall" I shriek
"Say your sorry"
"Nope"
"Well you'll just keep getting tickled"
"Okay okay I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry" I say at the same time as laughing. He lies back down and puts his arm around me again.
