Chapter 37

Ally's P.O.V

All of the drama that had happened with Bella at the concert was completely off everyone's minds now. The concert was a week ago and everyone had forgotten about everything that had happened and moved on.

I, however did not. There was something about the whole situation that bugged me. I had spent all week contemplating what had happened that day. There was something about the way Bella looked at me just before she stormed out of the club. She had looked me in the eyes, like she was trying to silently tell me something. I had been so angry with her though, that I hadn't paid any attention to it.

Mamma Joy also didn't turn up to take the boys to interviews during the week. She had called and said that she couldn't make it, but she would still be coming to Australia. There was something about the tone of her voice when she called. Something had happened for sure…

"Wooooo!" shouted Harry, hurrying into the One Direction living room. "I am so excited!"

"Obviously." I laughed as I made sure I had packed everything.

All of us were meeting at the house before we headed off to the airport. I was so excited to see my family. I was missing them so much. And I couldn't wait to introduce all the boys to them. Tia was getting really anxious. She was so scared to tell her parents about Louis and the baby. Especially her dad… he would be furious.

"Alright I think I have everything!" said Liam dragging his suitcase down the stairs. Zayn and Louis followed behind. Niall, Harry, Tia and I were already packed and sitting in the lounge room.

"Mamma Joy should be here soon." Said Louis, making his way down the stairs with his suitcase and then going to sit near Tia.

"It better be hot there…" said Zayn. "I wanna learn how to surf!"

"Like you would be able to surf!" laughed Niall. "You have zero coordination whatsoever."

"Hey c'mon it can't be that hard." smiled Zayn.

"If Tia can do it, then the rest of can do it." winked Louis.

"Excuse me?" laughed Tia, poking him in the stomach.

There was a loud knock on the door. "I'll get it." I said, quickly standing up and hurrying to the door to let Joy in.

I opened the door and shot her a wide smile. "Hi Joy."

"Hey Al." she smiled back, carrying her luggage through the door.

"Do you want some help?" I offered.

"Yes thanks love."

I helped her with her bags and then we went to join the others in the living room.

"How are you, Joy?" asked Zayn.

"Uh- yeah fine thanks." She said with a half-smile. Me, being the observant person I was, immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Is everything okay?" I asked, placing my hand on her knee. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Yeah! Fine." I could tell she was lying.

"So how come Bella and Tom aren't coming?" asked Niall.

Joy hesitated. "Um…" she said. "They won't be helping me with you guys anymore. They've moved in with their father and their starting university."

"What?" exclaimed Louis.

"Why not?" I asked. Something was definitely wrong.

"I guess it all just got a bit much for them." Said Joy.

"Well, I'm just glad we won't have to put up with Bella's bullshit anymore!" exclaimed Harry.

"Don't!" shouted Joy suddenly, making everyone jump. She moved to a whisper. "Don't say anything against my daughter…"

"I'm sorry…" said Harry, looking extremely sorry for what he had said.

"Joy…" said Liam. "Has something happened?" He could tell something was wrong as well.

"Uh…' said Joy. She looked down, struggling to get her words out. "Bella tried to commit suicide last week." Her voice cracked.

All of us gasped in shock and horror. I felt tears come to my eyes as my heart started beating faster and faster. Had I just heard correctly? Bella tried to take her own life?

"Why?" Louis whispered. His hand was placed over his heart, and his face was hard.

Joy took a deep breath and began talking. "I know it's not my place to tell you all this, but I think you deserve to know what really goes on within my family. Especially you Louis…" she paused and gave him a funny look. Why especially Louis?

Then Joy began explaining. "You don't need to know the details, just a quick summary of what's been going on." She paused and took a deep breath. "Bella has suffered from severe depression for three years now. It began when her father left us, and slowly got worse as she was bullied through high school. Then when I started working with you guys about a year ago, she began to feel better again. I saw her smile when she hung around with you boys, and that brought such happiness to my family to see her happy again. She grew especially close to one of you…" she looked Louis in the eye. "She fell in love with him. And once he started to date more girls, she fell into the depression again, and this time it was worse. When she was happy, she was faking it. She completely changed. She turned into the mean, rude teenage girl she is today. And once she found out about you and Tia, she was pushed over the edge. She decided that she couldn't do it anymore. So she tried to take her life. Luckily, Tom was there to save her before she did herself any harm…" she paused and looked down. "It is not any of yours fault. She doesn't blame any of you. She just wishes she could change how everything is. I hope you will all make an effort and try to help her."

"Oh my god…" whispered Tia. I looked over to her, to see her face stained with tears. She looked awful. "I feel horrible."

"I can't believe I never realized…" said Louis, suddenly standing up. "I did that to her! It's all my fault!" he shouted.

"Louis please…" said Joy. "Like I said, it's not anyone's fault. Please don't feel guilty."

"I was so mean to her…" said Harry, staring blankly at the floor.

"We all were…" I said. "I wish she would've said something…"

"How could she?" said Joy, forcing a laugh. "How do you tell someone something like that…"

"I need to talk to her." Said Louis. "I need to apologize."

"Well you can hardly do it now…" said Joy. "We've got a plane to catch. But, I guess you could visit her father's house when we get back."

Louis nodded.

No one spoke a word for a few minutes. We all sat there sobbing and trying to absorb what we had heard. I felt absolutely horrible. There was a voice in the back of my head saying that I should have realized something was up. We never put ourselves in her position. We never thought about what it was like for her.

Suddenly there was a loud beep from outside that made everyone jump.

"Limo's here." Said Zayn quietly.

We all got up from the couches, grabbed our luggage and made our way outside to the limo. We all hopped in and the driver backed out of the driveway.

"Everyone seems a bit quiet today…" laughed Gavin. "It's weird…"

"Sorry Gav." laughed Niall, trying to brighten the mood a bit.

"Guys look." said Joy. "Please don't let this ruin our time in Australia. Bella is fine now, and is ready to move on from everything. She has got a lot of support behind her now."

"I know." said Louis. "But I just feel so horrible for being so oblivious to her pain…"

"And you can apologize to her when you get back…" smiled Joy. "Now let's just forget that I ever told you this, and enjoy this alright?"

We all nodded and tried to smile.

The trip to the airport was fun. Joy filled us in on everything that we would be doing while we were there. They boys had three days of free time, and four for interviews and press conferences and stuff.

"So, I'm thinking that you tell everyone about the baby on an internationally televised interview on one of the morning shows." Said Joy.

"That's right…" said Louis. "I have to tell the world that I'm having a baby…"

"Hey I have to tell my dad that I'm having a baby!" exclaimed Tia. "That's much worse." She laughed.

Everything seemed to get back to normal. Of course, Bella was still on everyone's minds, but we decided not to let it ruin our trip. No matter how concerned we all were…

We arrived at the airport to find dozens of fans waiting to catch a glimpse of the boys. Liam held tightly onto my hand as we said hello to them and had a chat with a few.

"How are you girls today?" asked Liam with a huge smile.

"Good thanks." giggled the girls as he signed their One Direction t-shirts.

As we turned to walk away, one of the girls tapped me on the shoulder. "Um, I just wanna say that I really admire you. You're my role model. And it's not just because you're dating Liam." She laughed.

"That's really sweet." I smiled. "Thank you so much."

And then Liam and I walked away towards the gate. I was so flattered. I didn't think I was capable of being a role model to anyone.

"How cute was that?" smiled Liam.

"I know…" I giggled. "I'm a role model!"
We both laughed as we made our way through the gates, dumping our luggage and we headed onto the plane. We were flying first class of course, which Tia and I were incredibly excited about. We had never been first class before. Actually, we had never been first class with a famous boy band before.

We all took our seats. There were two sections of four seats facing each other. It was Liam and I, and then opposite us was Tia and Louis. Then across the aisle was Harry and Niall, and opposite them was Zayn and Joy.

Everyone had engaged in their own conversations and the plane was buzzing with excitement. Tia and I were the only ones that were really nervous. I was unsure of what my parents would think about the whole situation. Especially since I was kind of a celebrity now…

"What are you thinking about?" asked Liam as I stared into space.

I quickly snapped out of it and turned to him. "Just my family…"
"Are you worried?" he asked. Concern was written all over his face.

"Yeah a little…" I admitted. "But don't worry… I'm sure they will love you just as much as I do."

He smiled. "Well I'm excited to meet them!" he exclaimed. "I want to thank them for bringing you into my life."

"Ah-hem…" interrupted Tia. "I'm sorry but I believe it was I, who brought her into your life."

We all laughed. "It's true…" I shrugged with a huge grin.

"Well Tia…" said Liam, moving closer to her. "Thank you."

Tia giggled. "The pleasure is all mine."

"Attention all passengers…" said the flight attendant. "We will now begin our flight to Sydney, Australia. I ask that you all get comfortable in your seats and fasten your belts. Thank you."

We all moved back into our seats and prepared for take- off.

Liam grabbed my hand as we flew higher and higher into the air.

"Bye London…." I said as I stared past Liam out the window.

"See you soon…" he smiled, before pecking me softly on the lips.
