Alone

Bella's POV

When I was 12 I thought that Harry and I would end up together once we were older. I thought that maybe we would be living together after we move out from our parents house and continue life from there.

But I guess not.

The pain that I felt was probably worse than a heart break.

But I need to get my shit together.

I didn't enroll back to school because of obvious reasons. I continued doing online work and it really does work for me.

I talked to my mom about it, and she said it's okay as long as I get a diploma and go to college.

Other than that I have my first babysitting client and I'm really excited. I got dressed in some jeans and an oversized shirt, along with my sneakers and grabbed my small backpack with my charger, wallet and keys. As I walked out the door and locked it, I turn to see Harry bringing in full grocery bags along with Mia and a few other guys. 'They're probably having a party' I thought to myself.

I quickly walked away hoping no one spotted me since I don't want them knowing where I live, and headed towards a few blocks down to my clients house. It was a huge house from what I could see, and a very expensive car. I walked up to the door and rung the doorbell. A few seconds later the door opened and no one was there, until I looked down and saw a little boy that looked like he was about 4 years old.

"TYLER WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT OPENING THE DOOR WITHOUT MOMMY OR DADDY!" I heard a woman yell, I looked down at the toddlers reaction and his eyes widened then he shut the door startling me. I chuckled to myself patiently waiting for someone to open the door, revealing an elder man who looks like he's in his 30's and has quite the handsome features.

"Ah you must be Bella! I'm Liam, come in!" He opens the door wider as I entered and observed the house. It looked so much more beautiful in the inside. I saw a woman sitting at the bottom of the stairs talking to the little boy from earlier.

"Honey, the baby sitter is here." Liam announced while closing the door.

"Hi you must be Bella! I'm Anna, and this is our son Tyler who you will be taking care of tonight." She introduced. She was stunning and the more I observed Tyler, the more I realized how he looks like his dad and just a bit of his mom.

"Hi! It's a pleasure to meet you all! I'm glad you gave me a call to take care of this cutie right here." I smiled.

Anna smiled and gave her son a hug before telling me that the notes to take care of him are on the kitchen counter and explained a few more things.

"So is $20.00 an Hour okay with you?" Mr. Payne asked. I almost choked on my saliva hearing that.

"Oh that's more than what you guys need to pay me, I could have a lesser amount!" I shook my head with my widened eyes.

"Oh nonsense darling, it's totally fine with us. Besides, you could've been partying all night rather than staying here watching our son" Mr. Payne chuckled.

Oh if you only knew sir.

"Thank you so much." I smiled.

I picked Tyler up in my arms as we waved goodbye to his parents and walked to the kitchen. I set him down and looked at the notes saying he already ate and basically simple things of what we can do until his 9:30pm bed time.

Tyler just looked up at me, while I looked down at him.

"Sooooooo....What's up little man?" I asked.

"You're Pwetty" He grinned and started to run away from me.

I think my heart just bursted into tiny ones. He's so cute!

Great. I also just realized that i'll probably only get a compliment from a 4 year old.

Later that night I colored with Tyler as he talked to me about his preschool friends.

"Ella? Do you have fwiends?" Tyler asked me with his big adorable eyes staring at me.

"I have you as my new friend!" I smiled while tickling him.

"No silly! You must have a lot of fwiends cause I like you! So othew people should like you too!" He smiled while he was finishing his picture.

I looked at the innocent boy and smiled.

"I used to have a great friend, but we're not friends anymore little man." I smiled sadly thinking of Harry.

Tyler looked at me and frowned. "Why not?" He asked.

"That's another story for another time dude. Now let's go get ready for bed okay?" I answered.

"Owkay Bee" Tyler said rubbing his eyes. I carried him upstairs as he was still holding his picture and helped him brush his teeth and put his pajamas on. I laid him into bed and started tucking him in before he asked me to give him a good night kiss "cause he can't sleep without one" I chuckled and rolled my eyes before kissing his forehead and felt a paper being shoved my way.

"This is fow you. Good night Bee. I wuv you" He then closed his eyes as I took the paper smiling as I walked out of the room and closing the door quietly.

I look at the paper seeing two people that represented me and Tyler holding hands with hearts around it and a bee beside me. I decided to take this home and keep it in my room.

I walked downstairs with the baby monitor in hand and laid on the couch and scrolled through my phone. I opened instagram seeing that i'm right about Harry throwing a party and seeing photos of him and Mia. I sighed not even recognizing him anymore and decided to take a small snooze before the Paynes come back.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Mr. and Mrs. Payne came back at around 12:00am. Mr. Payne decided to take me home considering how late it was and handed me the money before telling me that they'll give me a call soon for another night. I can't believe I got payed $140.00 for one night.
I thanked him and got out of the car and notice that the party was still going on as the music was still blaring loudly.

I rolled my eyes as I shut the door, locked it and went upstairs to my room and got ready for bed.

I scrolled instagram again once I was in bed and a video started playing about Harry and Mia. I could hear Brad speaking in the background, he was probably holding the phone, but that's not all.

"Harry where did that little old friend of yours go? You know the Fat nerd?" Brad said laughing as everyone else did too.

"Oh we don't hang out anymore. I mean, I only hung out with her cause I pitied her anyway. She doesn't mean anything at all." Harry laughed along with Mia.

"And you stayed with her for that long?"

"Yeah I mean when her dad died I knew i'd feel guilty for leaving her but guess what? I guess he wanted an out too, I mean her mom doesn't even come home that often, probably trying to get away from her too." He said and everybody started laughing once more. Brad then turned the front camera to his face before saying "Hope you're watching this nerd, see no one likes you." He laughed before turning the phone off.

My heart stung so bad and I was sobbing to the point where I was hyperventilating. I tried to run for the bathroom to get my inhaler but then my vision went dark. And all I could remember was Harry's drunken words, and sober thoughts.
