Jenny's POV
"Please, just tell me." Harry said as we lie in his bed at night.
It's been about two weeks from that incident with Dave. Bella is still a bit freaked out about it but he's not gonna touch her.
As for Harry, he is still begging for me to explain everything that happened.
"Harry, I-"
"Don't." He snapped. "Just tell me. I don't want us to have anything to hide when we get married."
"Fine." I said giving in.
"Tell me." He said.
I laid my head on his chest and he pulled me closer.
"Well," I said. "My mum had a relationship with a guy. Dave. We called him Dangerous Dave though."
"One day I was just up in my room doing school work. Well, I could hear them yelling about some random thing."
"What did he do to her?" Harry asked with scarce in his voice.
"I came down," I said. "When I heard a scream. He hit her. Over and over not just once."
"And he didn't see you?" Harry asked.
"No," I said. "I was on the stairs. Mum saw me and motioned me to call the police. I did as so and they came a couple minutes later."
"Did they get him?" Harry questioned.
"Yeah," I said. "He was only in jail for about a year."
"Did he come after you two?" Harry asked tightening his grip on me.
"No," I said. "Well, when he got out he turned into a weird and different person. He stalked me. One day he found me walking alone. He tried doing..things.. I socked him in the balls and ran. I called the police and accused him of rape."
"Did they get him?" He asked again.
"No," I said. "He ran. To some place I guess. They never caught him until that one night a couple weeks ago with Bella."
"Wow." Harry said.
"I know." I said.
"Come here." He said.
He picked me up and set me on his lap. He moved a piece of my hair from my face and stared into my eyes.
"What are you staring at?" I asked him.
I wrapped my arm around his neck and he pulled me closer.
"Nothing." He said. "You just are so beautiful. I don't understand how beautiful someone could be. And you are the best thing that happened in my life."
"I love you." I said.
"I love you forever okay?" He said.
I smiled and he kissed my lips gently. We then fell asleep.

"Do you have a certain type of dress you wanted?" The lady asked me.
Eleanor, Danielle, my mum, Gemma, Bella and I were at the dress shop for the wedding dress.
"Yes." I said to the worker. "Have you seen Harry Potter? Do you know Fleur's dress?"
"I think.." She said. "I'm not positive but we have a dress that I think is similar to it."
I nodded and she went in the back to check.
"I'm nervous.." I said to the girls.
"It's fine.. You are gonna be okay." Eleanor said.
"The wedding is gonna be amazing." Danielle said with a smile.
"Here you are." The lady said with a dress her in hand.
It was the exact dress from Harry Potter.
"Oh my god. It's amazing." I said admiring it.
"Go try it on!" My mum said.
I grabbed it and headed towards the dressing room.
I slip into the dress and it was just.. Amazing..
It fit my curves well. I smiled at the beautiful dress.
I walk out onto the podium and the girls gasp.
"You look amazing." Eleanor gushed.
"Harry is gonna die with you in that." Danielle added.
"YES! He will." Gemma said.
"Really?" I said looking down at the dress.
"You look so beautiful honey." Mum said. I could see it in her eyes that she was getting upset.
"Mum.." I said. I stepped off the podium and grabbed her into a hug.
"Does the dress fit?" The lady asked.
"Yes. Perfectly." I replied to her.
She smiled and we headed out.
>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>
"Are you gonna have a bachelorette party?" Eleanor asked as we sat at the cafe.
"I don't know." I said. "I don't want Harry to have a bachelor party."
"Why is that?" Eleanor said.
"Because," I said. "It's Harry. He's a crazy party person. When's he's drunk he is bonkers. I don't want our wedding to end just because of that party."
"Okay." Gemma said. "We all know how Harry is. But when he has his eyes set on a girl he won't do anything with any other girl. Just have the boys take him to dinner."
"Then what would we do?" I asked.
I'm not good with wedding stuff.
"You'll find out." Eleanor said.
"I'm scared too." I said taking a drink of my coffee.
"Hello ladies. What would you like to order?" The waitor asked us.
Everyone ordered and the guy could not stop giving me the eye.
"Did anyone else see that?" I said as he walked away.
"YES!" They all said.
"Did he not see the ring?" I said.
"You are hot to most of these guys." Eleanor said.
I raised an eyebrow at her. She is quite strange.
"Let's go." My mum said as we all finished our food.
"Thank you girls for coming." The waitor said.
I brushed my hand through my hair showing him the glittery ring.
He took a deep breath and gave me a fake smile. I smiled back but gave him a sympathetic look.
~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>
God. I'm tried. Shopping takes forever.
My mum and Gemma headed home which just left Eleanor and Danielle and I. We were sitting in the living room of my house just watching TV.
Now and then I think of when we were together.
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die.
Told myself that you were right for me but felt so lonely in your company.
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember.
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness.
Like resignation to the end, always the end.
So when we found that we could not make sense.
Well you said that we could still be friends.
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over.
But you didn't have to cut me off.
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing.
No, you didn't have to stoop so low.
Have your friends collect your records then they change your number.
I guess that I don't need you thought.
Now you're just somebody that I used to know.
"Hello?" I said answering my phone.
This ring tone was for only one person.
Peter.
"JENNY!" He yelled. "I haven't talked to you in years! How are you?"
"Wow." I said. "It's good hearing your voice. I'm really good actually. I'm uh getting married."
"What?" He said. I could hear the pain in his voice.
"I am getting married.. To Harry." I said again.
"Wow." He replied.
"Yeah." I said. " How are you?"
"I'm doing good." He said. "Nothing has really happened."
"Lucky." I said. "I could write a whole novel for what happened to me in the last couple years."
"Really?" He said.
"Yeah. We need to go to dinner or something." I said to him.
"Yeah. When's the wedding?" He asked.
"March 19th. My daughter's birthday." I said and smiled.
"Daughter? Since when do you have a daughter?" He said.
"It's a long story." I said.
Eleanor and Danielle gave me looks. I knew they were wondering who I was talking to.
I shrugged.
"When are you available?" He asked.
"Uh. Tonight?" I said.
"Okay. Still live in the same place?" He asked.
"Nope." I replied. I gave him the address and said we could go to dinner tonight.
I missed Peter. He was my best friend.
"Who was that?" Eleanor asked.
"My old friend. I haven't talked to him in like forever!" I said. "Can you guys watch Bella as I get ready?"
"Of course." They said.
I walked upstairs and turned on the shower.
As I stepped out I dried myself with the towel.
I slipped on a baby blue riverisland sleeveless lace dress. I put on some black ballet flats with a small bow on them. I grabbed my black zipped messenger bag with a fold over flap. (Outfit on the side).
I blow dried my hair and for some reason it was super wavy. So I put it up into a high pony tail and wrapped a strand of hair covering the hair band.
I added a little bit of make-up and I was good to go.
"JENNY! YOUR FRIEND IS HERE!" I heard Eleanor yell.
I grabbed my phone and slipped it in my bag. I skipped to the door to see Peter looking.. a bit.. buffer.
Dang.
"Peter!" I yelled.
I ran toward him and he grabbed me into a tight hug.
"Hey! God, you look fantastic." He said setting me down.
"Thanks. Do you wanna meet Bella?" I asked him.
"Of course!" He said.
I grabbed his hand and lead him into the kitchen where Bella, Eleanor and Danielle were scooping ice-cream.
"Bells." I said walking towards her. "Meet my friend Peter."
"Hi Peter." She said quite shyly.
"Hello, beautiful." He said bending down to her level. "Wow, you look just like your mum."
"Mum is pretty." She said with a huge smile.
"Yes she is." Peter said.
Bella giggled.
"Be good, Bells." I said.
Peter and I got in his car but as he held the door open I saw a guy with a camera snap a picture of me.
Shit.
~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>
"So, how is your life going?" I asked him as we waited for our food as the fancy restaurant.
"It's going well," He said. "I am in law school right now. Almost done."
"Wow," I said. "Law school? What happened with art school?"
"Wasn't feeling it." He replied.
"Oh okay." I said.
"How about you?" He said.
"Wow." I replied. My life has been wacko this past couple years. "I'm almost done with online college. I got the job helping the lads as the stylist."
"That's good." He said. "So, tell me. What happened with you? And you and Harry had a kid I should say. Now you are engaged!"
"Yes." I said taking a deep breath. "About 4 years ago I was in the hospital from having contractions with Bella. It was only about 5 or 6 months of her being 'born' in my belly. Well, she came out now on the time she shouldn't have. But before she came out I was diagnosed with tuberculosis."
"WHAT?!" Peter said choking on his water.
"Crazy I know huh?" I said to him. "Well, still before having Bella, Harry and I got in a huge fight! I accused him of not wanting a baby. He stomped off. The other boys tried telling me that he didn't mean what he said. I yelled at them and made them go on their tour. So they did."
"They left you?" He said with disgust in his eyes. "They left you diagnosed with tuberculosis and pregnant?! How dare they?!"
"I told them." I said. "I wanted them to leave. I wanted them to go live their dream and not worry about me. But I had Bella and they didn't think she would make it, including me as well."
"But you did?" He asked.
"Yeah," I said. "I did make it and so did Bella. It was the best thing. As I left the hospital I ended it with Harry."
"But you are engaged?"
"Mmhmm." I said trying no to cry from the happiness of marrying Harry. "After we ended it we decided to still be together just not a couple. We bought a house, well mostly him, to help with Bella. I started finishing college online and Bella starts school in about a week while he went on tour."
"Oh, but I still don't see why you are engaged to Harry?" He questioned again.
"I love him, Peter." I said. "I really do. I mean, I've always had just it was way too hard to be with him while he was on tour and I was taking care of Bella and finishing college."
"When did you tell him about your mum?" He asked.
"I actually," I said. "The first time she kind of barged into his house. I had to say I was dating Louis. She bought it but Harry got pissed. I kind of had a two day fling with Louis but I always loved Harry."
"You love him?" Peter choked out. He looked like he was gonna burst into tears.
"Yes, I do." I said still confused. "What is wrong?"
"Nothing." He said.
~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>~>
"Harry? I'm here." I said walking into the house the next day and locking the door.
I didn't hear him answer. I put Bella on the couch to play with her dolls and I walked into Harry's room to see each of the lads in their staring at something.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I said walking in more.
Their heads shot up and Harry... His eyes were full of tears. What did I do?
"Can you please explain this?" Liam said holding a magazine.
Shit.
Peter and I were the front cover.
The headline read: Mrs. Styles "To Be" Is Having An Afair?!
"Harry it's really not what you think." I said keeping calm.
"Not what I think? You are cheating on me! I thought you loved me!" He yelled.
Here come the waterworks.
"NO!" I yelled. "Why would I cheat on you?! We are getting married!"
"Then why were you going on a date with this guy?!" He yelled throwing the magazine on the ground.
The lads fled out of the room, to go see Bella and give us some space.
"It wasn't a date!" I yelled.
"Oh really?" He said through his tears. "You got all dressed up to go to dinner with this guy and you think it's not a date?!"
"It wasn't a date!" I repeated.
"My dear god." He said. "STOP LYING TO ME!"
"I AM NOT LYING!" I yelled back.
"Then explain this!" He yelled grabbing the magazine.
It was Peter dropping me off at the house kissing my cheek gently then another one with a hug.
"He's just a friend!" I yelled.
"A friend my arse!" He yelled.
That's it. I'm done.
"Fine!" I yelled. I slipped the ring off my finger and held it. "How dare you accuse me of cheating?! That guy is one of my bestfriends from college that I haven't talked to in years! It was just a meet up, Harry! Stop jumping to conclusions. Look at us! We're already fighting and you think we'll go well while we're married!"
I threw the ring at him regretting it right when it slipped off my hand. I saw the hurt in his eyes and I knew I was dying in my eyes as well.
I grabbed my purse and stormed out of the room.
"C'mon Bella." I said.
I grabbed the crying little girl and stormed away with tears in our eyes.
I just ruined everything.
I couldn't do this. I dragged Bella back to the house and stormed back in with the lads looked shocked by my entrance.
I had them watch Bella and I ran towards Harry.
He was still in the same position as he was about a couple minutes later.
"I am so sorry!" I yelled to him, I grabbed him into a hug and he wrapped me tightly so I couldn't go.
"No, I should be the one apologizing from yelling and jumping to conclusions! And I-" He babbled off but I cut him off by kissing his lips hard.
It was a very passionate kiss and I could feel the tears come out of both our eyes.
"I love you so much. Please, don't ever leave?" He said to me.
"I promise I won't. I love you forever." I said as he wiped the tears from my eyes.
