Bella's POV

It's been over 5 years since I left London, England and things are starting to get better for me.

I finished my first book and thanks to Dougie and a guy that he had found who had the same problems with cutting that I had, I haven't been cutting for over 2 1/2 years now.

Life is great for me now.

Only one thing keeps nagging at me and it's the one thing I'm not ready to confront yet. Daniel Alan David Jones.

They are on tour again so everywhere I go, all I see is McFly posters and CDs and articles in magazines.

I still move around a bit but not as much as I had been.

I went to check the front desk to see if I had gotten any messages and the receptionist handed me a telegram, smiling as she did. I read it and a smile spread across my face. I then quickly ran upstairs and packed my suitcases. I texted Dougie, telling him that if he was going to come see me, that I might not be here because I was going to Los Angeles.

I then quickly re-read the telegram, savoring every moment. It read-

Miss Brady-
We have just finished reading the script that you sent to us and we would like to be the first to let you know that we thought it was delightful. We are going to publish it and we would like to meet you and work out a contract. We have set up a first class seat for you on the 11:30 am flight from London to L. A. and when you arrive at the airport, a car will be waiting for you.

B & J Publishing Company

I got in a cab that took me to the London airport and got onto the planned flight.

The whole way to Los Angeles, I was fidgeting and couldn't focus on one thing for more than a minute.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I remember was that a stewardess was gently shaking me awake and telling me we had landed.

I slowly walked through the terminal and looked around for the person who was waiting for me. I saw her no more than four feet away from me. She walked up to me and introduced herself.

"Hi. I'm Cynthia. You must be Isabella. It's really nice to meet you." she said, shaking my hand and smiling.

She was probably the nicest person I had met. Well, besides 4 other people.

"It's really nice to meet you too. Call me Bella." I said, smiling sincerely.

She helped me with my luggage and on the way to the company, we chatted about everything. I even mentioned meeting McFly. She found that exciting and wanted to know everything. I didn't have much to tell her though because I had only really known them for a day.

When we arrived at the publishing company, she walked me into the building and to the room that they were waiting for me in. Everything that happened after that was a blur.

It was exciting and so amazing but it was almost like a dream. We made the contract, which I signed, and then we planned a book tour and some signings.

I casually glanced at the clock on the wall but not casually enough.

The main woman in the meeting with me, who had introduced herself as Jacqui, told me that we were almost done. We just needed to discuss my first payment.

An hour or so later, I don't really know how long I was inside the building, the meeting was over and I slowly walked outside.

This was all happening so quickly but it was a dream come true for me.

~2 1/2 months later~

Danny's POV

Her face haunts my dreams and now it is haunting every waking moment I spend inside or outside.

We have been on tour for a few months now and I have been getting a bit better at coping with Bella not being here. It doesn't help though when everywhere I turn I see her face.

She has apparently finished her book and is doing a book tour. Strangely enough, our tour has changed slightly so now we are sometimes at the same places she is.

I keep feeling like everyone is expecting me to react someway or do something.

One day I just got sick of it so I went for a walk to get some air.

As I was passing a book store, I looked in the window and I saw her. The one person in the world that I had been dying to see.

I couldn't react. I just stood there staring at her from outside. Then she looked up and saw me. Her face started to pale as I walked into the store. Her lips mouthed one name.

"Danny....."
