Golden

Chapter 7

Harry's POV

After I left Bella's room, I sat with my 4 best friends in the dining room. "Hey guys", they waved at me. After 30 minutes of discussion, we heard footsteps coming down the staircase.

Bella was walking, in a different outfit than before. "Hey", Liam said. With a small hey, she sat down with us. "So, Bella, do you wanna go around in a circle and each of us will say a fact about ourselves.

"Yeah, sounds fun". Liam started the game. "Well I was born on August 29th", Liam told us. "My middle name is Edward". Zayn was the next person. "My favorite book is Harry Potter".

Niall started his fact. "I'm Irish" Bella laughs. "I can tell", she laughs. "My favorite band is 'The Fray' and it's really good", Louis says. After a long round of giving facts, Bella's turn came around.

"Well I've always liked Dogs. When I get my own place, I want a Dog. I doubt I'll be able to get one, but I really want one", she smiled a huge smile.

After a while longer, my stomach starts to growl. "What do we want to eat for dinner?" Liam asked us. "I want pasta", I voted, although Niall has different plans. "Nandos!" He yelled.

"Niall, we literally ate that yesterday. I'm going to go with Harry's choice of pasta. Is that okay with you Bella?" Asked Liam. "Yes, that's fine", Bella mumbled. She looked at her phone screen. "So, Bella, where do you go to school?" Louis asked. "Sprunger Falls High", she commented.

"School starts in 2 weeks. I'm going to cut down on my work hours", Bella added. "When do you work?" Bella began explain her hours and her pay. I felt bad that she had to work so many days, so many hours, for so many different jobs.

"Then I definitely came up with the right idea of you calling into work", Liam laughed. Bella shrugged.

"I don't mean to disrespect you, but in a way, it wasn't a right idea. I need to be saving. I have to pay apartment bills, groceries, save up for college, and so much more. I don't talk abot my feelings, but if I'm being honest, it's so stressful", Bella admitted.

Liam's eyes softened. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just mean that everyone deserves a break, including you", he told her. She wiped away her tears. "No, you're fine. I shouldn't have spilt all of that out onto y'all", Bella looked down.

I layed my hand on her shoulder. "You can talk to us about anything, at anytime, anywhere. We won't ignore you or get mad, I promise", I sent her a comforting smile.
