Love, War, & Disguises

Chapter 9

(Harry's POV)

"It's gonna be okay Bells" I whispered and clung to the other girl who was like my sister. She was shaking and I tried to calm her down by rubbing her back

Edward is okay, he just had high blood pressure ad was really stressed out, but is sleeping in a room.

"Mr Styles?" A female voice said and I whipped my head towards her

"Edward is truly okay. Stephanie is breathing on her own" the nurse announced and I burst into a new set of tears as Bella hugged her

My head was spinning. Marcel, William, Liam, and Niall walked in just then. Marcel was in his nerd apparel and had blood on his knuckles. Liam has blood all over his arms

"What happened?!" Bella shrieked and grabbed Marcel and Liam's arms. Niall looked away from his sister and walked towards me. William grabbed my hand and thankfully no one noticed

"Dude Marcel and Liam beat the shit out of Zayn. I think they might have killed him" Niall whispered and I froze

William continued, "Zayn's dad gave Liam an envelope of $10,000 for medical expenses. Marcel isn't tutoring that kid anymore either"

My head was going at 100 miles per hour. I gripped Williams hand and suddenly everyone noticed

Niall raised his eyebrow and Liam wiggled his

"You owe me $20 loser" Niall grinned and Liam rolled his eyes

"Did you bet on us?" William asked and Liam nodded, "quite obvious mate"

"Hey guys, don't tell Edward, okay? He'll flip" Bella explained and I was eternally great full for her

********

I woke up and stretched, hitting something and hearing "ow!"

I turned over and saw William laying next to me, and we were in our bed

"Sorry" I grumbled still trying to remember how we got home. William fell back asleep. I trailed out if the room and went down the hall. I peeked into Edward and Stephanie's room and Edward was sleeping soundly

Bella and Marcel were on the couch watching tv

"Hey" Marce smiled and I sat next to him

"How did we get here?" I rubbed my eyes

"You conked out at the hospital. They released Edward and we brought you home. Niall and Liam went back home too. It was a very eventful day yesterday..." Bella answered and looked out the window

I was about to answer when Edward walked into the room

"Where's Steph? Is she in the bathroom? That morning sickness is killing her" Edward yawned and stretched out his sleepy muscles

"No Eddie she's not here" Marcel said and Edwards eyes shot open

"I'm not dreaming" Eddie whispered and his eyes began to water. He sat down next to me and cried into my shoulder

**

A little while passed by and Edward had calmed down. We had to explain to him that we couldn't to see Stephanie until the hospital called

"Hey Eddie, I know you're not feeling that well, but I think doing some tattoos would relax you" Bella recommended and the three of is froze

"I, I'm not really in the mood Bells..." Eddie trailed and Bella shook her head

"It will help you. Marcel can hold my hand too"

Oh she's making this worse!

"Maybe not today babe" Marcel interjected and she pleaded with him more

"C'mon Eddie! I-" Bella said but Edward cut her off

"I'm not the tattoo artist! Marcel is! He didn't want to ruin his nerd reputation to the public so he told everyone it was me! I am not the artist!" Edward yelled at Bella. He obviously didn't mean to but Bella wouldn't stop nagging him

Her jaw was hanging on the floor and she stared at Marce with wide eyes

"You've been lying to me?" She whispered

"Bells it's not the biggest thing. I didn't need people knowing that the straight A student was the neighborhood tattoo artist...." Marcel said and Bella looked away from him

There was an awkward silence so I decided to break it

"So Eddie, uh the guys went to Zayn's house and beat the shit out of him and his dad... His dad gave Marcel $10,000 for expenses Zayn caused. Oh and Marce doesn't tutor that kid anymore" I explained to help update Edward. His face turned red and his eyes filled with fury

"You did what?!" He screamed at Marcel. William stumbled out and widened his eyes at the sight of Edward standing in front to Marcel

"We did it for you, and Steph!" Marce argued

"Who went?!" Edward growled

"Marcel, Niall, Liam, and William!" Bella snapped. Edward automatically turned his attention to William

"You went?! You helped do this you mother fucking faggot?!" Edward screamed at William

"Don't talk to him like that!" I yelled and grabbed Edward by his shirt, "just because your girlfriend got hurt doesn't mean you need to be a fucking dick to everyone! We're trying to help you!!" I continued

"Why are you defending the little queen over here? Do you have feelings for him?!" Edward egged on and I swallowed and looked over at William. For the first time ever, Will looked really scared

Edward looked in between the two of us and his eyes popped out of his head. Before I could blink, his fist collide with my jaw, then he hit William

"Edward!" Marcel yelled and pushed him against the wall

"Our brother is a fag! He's a fucking fag!" Edward spat

"So fucking what?! That doesn't make him bad!" Marcel yelled and hit Edward

Bella came and helped William and I up. She ran into the kitchen and game back with a few ice bags and handed some to us. William took my hand and started to whisper sweet nothing's in my ear to distract me

"Get out Edward!" Marcel screamed at him. Eddie looked at our interlocked hands and shook his head in disbelief

"Fags" he muttered before exiting the house and slamming the door. I fought so hard against my quivering lip but lost and began to cry

Bella looked scared to death, but Marcel just held her

I sat down on the couch and put my head in my hands. I can't believe my brother said those things to us. William rubbed my back and I listened to the sound of Bella's quiet sobs

Bella's phone began to ring but she ignored it. It rang two more times before she answered it

"Hello?" She answered and looked beyond scared straight at what the person had said. She dropped the phone and froze

"Bells! Bella!" Marcel shook her shoulders and brought her out of her trance

"Z- Zayn. He h-has Liam and, and Niall c-captive"
