Who's That Girl? (Christian Anthony)

Chapter 9

**Bella's POV**

So i just found out my parents had died in a car accident, and now i find out i can't live in this house anymore because i'm not old enough?!

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" i shouted, my emotions taking full control, tears still streaming down my cheeks

"yes, i'm sorry but Bella you have to live with someone over the age of 18, its the law."

"just leave" i whispered, my head in my hands

"you'll be okay tonight, by yourself?"

"yes of course! Im not a baby!" i snapped back

One of the police man sighed and they both stood up and headed out the door "we'll be back tomorrow to sort out your housing arrangements, until then, stay safe Bella, call the station whenever you need, we'll be right over"

"thanks.."

"bye"

I sighed as the front door shut, and i just sat there on my lounge chair just thinking. How could my life be going so good, and then this has to happen, why me? Where am i going to live? I sobbed into my hands for about 20 minutes until i could no longer breathe, then i stood up and walked up the stairs to my room, went in and shut the door.

I sat down on my bed with a 'thud' and picked up my phone, going through my contacts until i found Christian's name, i hesitated at first but decided to call him.

**Christian's POV**

I was sprawled across my bed thinking about my life, how perfect it is right now, how lucky i am to have Bella, how i want to spend alot, maybe even the rest of my life with her-

Something cut me out of my thoughts, my phone was ringing, i picked it up and looked at the caller id before smiling and answering the phone.

"Bella" i smiled to myself

"Christian?" her voice sounded quiet, as if she'd just been crying

"Bella, what's wrong?"

"Christian, my....my p-parents" she managed to choke out in-between sobs before she burst into tears, not able to say anything more, worry washed over me suddenly

"Bella, Bella do you want me to come over? I'll spend the night with you?"

"y-yes" she whispered, letting out little hiccups at the same time

"i'll be there in 10, bye baby"

"bye"

I hung up the phone, racing around finding an overnight back and packet pajamas, underwear and an outfit for tomorrow, then i told my parents where i was going and burst out the door, running as fast as i could down the street to where Bella lived, out of breathe i knocked on the door, waiting for an answer.

"Christian?" there stood Bella, all red and blotchy from crying, makeup running down her face and she was in the same outfit as i saw her in just hours before.

"Baby whats wrong?" i embraced her in a hug, shut the door and pulled her over to the lounge and sat her on my lap.

"my parents, they were in a car crash Christian" she sobbed into my shoulder as i rubbed her back. "they're, they're d-d-dead..."

"Bella, i..."

"Christian my parents are gone, i have no where to live, the police don't want me in a house on my own because i'm too young, they want me to live with someone over 18"

"Come stay with me" i automatically said, not thinking, but realizing it was the best idea.

"really? Your mum wont mind?" she looked up at me, her eyes were so big and teary, i couldn't refuse

"i'll call her later, but no she wont mind baby, lets go to bed, you need some sleep"

I picked Bella up bridal style and took her up to her room and we got changed and got into bed, she snuggled into my shoulder letting out small sobs as i ran my hand down her back tracing down her arms until she fell asleep. I then picked up my phone and silently called my mum.

I told her everything that happened, and then asked if Bella could stay with us for a while, she had no hesitation in saying yes, i thanked her then said bye and heading off to sleep too.
