Once Danny had pulled up in front of his apartment building, he quickly got out and opened Bella's door for her and helping her out. They eventually made it to his apartment and went inside. Danny went to get the first aid kit while Bella went over to the couch.
"What happened?" Dougie asked, noticing Bella's face and hand.
Danny had walked in at that point with the first aid and tended to Bella's hand. "Bella beat the shit out of him. She broke his nose and gave him a verbal beat down."
"I had to point out how he screwed my life up by doing what he did. The punching just felt really good." Bella said, wincing slightly at the alcohol that Danny was using to clean out the cuts on her hand.
"What happened to your hand?" Cynthia asked, concerned.
"I was really pissed and clenched my hands into fists and forgot my nails were really sharp."
"Do you feel better though? I mean, all of that must have taken it's toll on you. You shouldn't have bottled it all up."
"Yeah, I do feel better. I just feel less stressed. I'm also feeling like I should have felt when I first got to London and met the four people that changed my life." Bella said, causing Danny to look up at her.
After they all talked for a while, Cynthia and Bella started to leave but Danny stopped them.
"Could you stay for a while?" he asked Bella while Cynthia stood by the door and talked to Tom, Dougie, and Harry.
"Um....Yeah, I'll just tell Cynthia to go ahead and go on without me."
When everyone had left, Bella and Danny sat and talked for the longest time. Bella laughed so much her sides were hurting. They then played video games, which wasn't a strong point with Bella. She had played Halo before but wasn't very good at it. She was better at RockBand than any other video game. Of course, that was on vocals. Once that got a bit dull, they watched movies. Bella curled up on the couch and was already a bit tired after the whole Ryan thing so she was trying to stay awake. She ended up curling up next to Danny and laying her head on his shoulder.
"You wanna go home?" Danny asked, noticing Bella's squirming and yawning.
Bella shook her head no, not wanting to leave, knowing that this moment wouldn't be the same tomorrow.
"Bells, if you're tired, I'll take you home. I'm not gonna let you get away from me again if that's what's worrying you. I lost you once. I'm not making that mistake again." Danny said, moving her head so she was looking at him. "Do you wanna go home?"
She thought about it for a minute or two before she nodded. They walked out of the building in silence and Danny opened the car door for Bella, causing her to smile. Once they were inside the car and had pulled away from the curb, Bella just started singing.
You
don't know my name
you don't know anything about me
I try to
play nice
I want to be in your game
The things that you say
You
may think I never hear about them
But word travels fast
I'm
telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your
back
[Chorus:]
You
don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know
what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it
feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
If
you could read my mind
You might see more of me that meets the
eye
And you've been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've
never given me a chance
[Chorus:]
You
don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know
what it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it
feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
Well,
I'm tired of staying at home
I'm bored and all alone
I'm sick
of wasting all my time
[Chorus
(x2):]
You don't
know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what
it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To
be your own best friend on the outside looking in
You don't
know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what
it's like
To be left out
And you don't know how it feels
To
be your own best friend on the outside looking in
"Bella, you'll never be on the outside looking in if I have anything to say or do about it. I promise." Danny said when she had finished singing.
Bella didn't know but he meant every word. He would never hurt her or make her feel like she didn't belong. Danny hoped one day she'd realize that. Only time would tell.
