TW - Graphic mention of physical abuse and rape

A/N - Get your tissues ready

Jesy pov

"Pez, how long will you be in London?" Leigh-Anne asks pulling away from the embrace.

"Until Friday" Perrie replies in a low voice.

Today is Wednesday, we only have two days to convince her to leave with us. We barely managed to talk to her, two days won't be enough to convince her to leave Alex. If Perrie goes back to Liverpool with him, we will lose her forever. We have to come up with something to get her away right now.

"Would you like to come to dinner with us, Pez?" Leigh interrupts the thread of my thoughts. Perrie looks at her like she's an alien before answering.

"I can't, Alex is taking me out to dinner tonight"

I know that even if she wanted to come she'd be too afraid to leave Alex.

"Sweetheart, I don't think Alex is taking you out to dinner tonight" I say softly.

"What? Why?" she asks in a whisper.

"Your bruises, baba. You won't be able to hide them this time" Jade speaks slowly.

"Oh" is all she manages to say.

It breaks my heart to see her so small and helpless, I want to hold her in my arms and protect her forever. If I had Alex in my hands right now, he would already be dead and buried.

"Maybe he'll order room service and I can have ice cream if I'm good when he gets back" Perrie whispers with a genuine smile and a small giggle.

"Do you want ice cream, baby?" Jade asks her with a small smile, "If you want we can order it now"

Perrie freezes and opens her eyes wide.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I-I didn't mean-"

I don't understand what's going on but it's obvious that something has triggered Perrie. Jade looks at her not knowing what to say. I have some guesses but I hope I'm wrong. Maybe the ice cream was one of the rewards Perrie was talking about, if so, I wonder what she had to do to get it.

"Pez, Pez, listen to me, it's OK, it's all right. We'll get the ice cream some other time. It's okay" Jade says calmly.

Perrie nods and calms down, she goes back to playing with her fingers and we stay a few minutes in an uncomfortable silence.

"Pez, we know Alex has interviews from 8am to 4pm tomorrow, we can pick you up and have a movie day" Leigh tries again "we can watch all the Disney movies you want and sing all the songs" Leigh has a big smile on her face as she waits for an answer and shortly after Perrie lets out a giggle.

"Disney? I can't watch a Disney movie!"

I frown and ask why.

"Alex always says Disney movies are for good girls and I'm just a stupid slut"

I remain speechless not sure how to react. Perrie said it with such innocence as if she was telling about what she feeds Hatchi. I know she really believes it right now and I realise that too much has happened since we arrived only an hour and a half ago. The situation is much more serious than I thought before I got here.

Alex has really fucked her brains out

We have to think quickly of a way to get her out.

Think, Jesy, think!

Fuck!

We have limited time and tomorrow is the only day Alex will be gone for so many hours. We can talk to Perrie and persuade her to go to a doctor. When they will see the wounds they will understand and maybe they can convince her to say who did it. In case she doesn't want to reveal it, we'll be there as witnesses. Whatever it takes, we have to get her away before it's too late.

Think, Jesy, think!

No, Jesy, don't think!

Jesy, you can't do this to her! Think of something else

Jesy, you can't do that!

I know what I have in my mind isn't fair. I know I can't take advantage of her pain like this. I can't do this, I can't do this to her. But there's no other way. There's no time.

If I choose to do this it will be like making a deal with the devil, I might as well add another five or six years of therapy.

Anything else, Jesy

You can't do it

It's the only way, though

I'm sorry

I'm sorry, Perrie

Forgive me

I take a deep breath and prepare to do the thing I'll regret for the rest of my life, if it helps save Perrie, I'll deal with it.

"Perrie, this is not a request, tomorrow morning we will pick you up at 8am and you will come with us, you will not say anything to Alex and you will spend the day with us. This is an order, Perrie"

I see her lower her head and a single tear lines her cheek. My heart breaks.

"Y-yes, ma'am," she replies without emotion.

Forgive me, Perrie

One day you will understand

Jade pov

After Perrie 'agreed' to come with us tomorrow we stayed another half an hour with her, we didn't say anything but at least being with her proves to me that she is here.

That is until a message arrives from Zayn warning me of Alex's imminent arrival.

"Pez, we have to go now, Alex will be here soon. Can you give us your phone number so we can call you tomorrow when we pick you up?" Leigh asks in her sweetest voice.

I look at Jesy who hasn't said another word. I can see the tears threatening to come out of her eyes, probably thinking back to what she said to Perrie earlier.

"I don't have a phone, Alex doesn't want to"

Oh

That explains why she never called or picked up

Alex took her phone away

The psycho son of a bitch designed it well

"Okay, we'll be here at 8 then. Wait for us in the room, we'll come get you" Leigh smiles and Perrie nods.

We greet her making a big effort not to hug her and leave the room before Alex arrives.

The car ride is silent, Zayn has asked what happened but we haven't had the courage or strength to explain yet and he, like a good friend, is waiting without pushing us. Jesy keeps staring at a an empty point in front of her and hasn't said a word yet.

Zayn walks us back to my flat and greets us saying that he will come with us tomorrow morning to pick up Perrie and to call him anytime if we need him. We hug him and as soon as I close the door I see Jesy break down in tears.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't want to do this but we had no other option! I took away her choice, I did exactly what Alex does to her every day. I'm sorry..." Jesy sobs and Leigh and I run and hug her, holding her tightly and comforting her until she calms down.

"You did a horrible thing, Jes, but it was the only way, there wasn't any other choice and she will forgive you, Jes. She will forgive you" I tell her firmly because I know that however wrong it was, Jesy did the only thing she could do to give us time.

We decide to have tea and go to sleep. Needless to say, I keep rolling over in bed unable to fall asleep. Images of Perrie pleading with Alex come back to me. Her gaze of pain as he forces himself into her and the tears streaming down her face. I hear Perrie's voice calling me and asking for help. I wish this would stop, I wish we hadn't fought that night and she hadn't gone to Zayn. I wish I could go back in time and do everything better. Perrie's voice asking me for help drives me crazy and I scream with all the desperation I feel.

"Jade" Perrie keeps crying out to me.

"Jade!" I try to reach her but I can't.

"JADE!" I open my eyes and see Leigh and Jesy looking at me worriedly.

"Jade, are you alright? You were screaming and we couldn't wake you up"

"Yes, it was a nightmare, just a nightmare" as soon as the words are out of my mouth I realise that this isn't a nightmare. Perrie is in Alex's hands and God only knows what he's doing to her right now.

I look at the clock on the bedside table and see that it's 5am. I know I won't be able to sleep again, so I get out of bed and go to the bathroom, turn on the water in the shower and wait for it to get hot before going in. I hope the water running over my body will take away all the images of my nightmare. All the pictures of Perrie full of cuts and bruises. And finally I hope it washes away all my guilt.

"Jade, are you okay in there? It's been forty minutes already" I hear Leigh's voice and come out of my trance.

I turn off the shower water and tell her I'm fine, I start doing my daily skincare to keep my mind as busy as possible.

I blow dry my hair and put on my body lotion, leave the bathroom and get dressed, I walk into the kitchen and see Leigh and Jesy already dressed. We decide to have tea while we put our thoughts back together. I look at their faces and realise that they have barely slept last night too.

It's 6.20am and we decide to go to a nearby café for breakfast while waiting for Zayn to come and pick us up to take my love.

Perrie pov

Jade, Jesy and Leigh-Anne just left and I'm waiting for Alex.

Fuck!

I realise I'm still wearing the coat Jade lent me when she arrived. I have to get it off before Alex sees it or this time it ends badly.

I look around for a good hiding place and panic when I don't find one.

Shit!

I hear the doorknob of the room turn and I have no more time to think. I throw my jacket under the bed and make sure it can't be seen, there's no way Alex is going to look under the bed anyway.

I turn around and see Alex looking at me. I smile and walk over to greet him.

He grabs my jaw and squeezes it, then kisses me passionately.

"I'll only be a few minutes and I'll be ready to go out" I tell him, smiling.

I hear him laugh out loud, "Where the fuck do you think you're going like that? You think I'm going to be seen hanging around with a stupid slut like you?"

I don't understand why he is saying this now. What did I do wrong? He was the one who told me he was taking me out to dinner tonight. I don't understand.

Maybe Jade was right this afternoon when she said he wouldn't take me out because of the bruises.

No, Perrie! Alex won't take you out because you look like shit

You suck, Perrie!

Stupid, stupid, Perrie

TW - Graphic description of violence and rape. Please, read at your own risk, if you don't feel comfortable just skip the part.

"On your knees" Alex orders in a cold voice.

He walks around me and ties my hands behind my back, then back in front of me, undoes his trousers and pulls down his underwear.

"Open" I do as he says, I feel him hit my throat and I feel nauseous and tears sting my eyes but I try to hold on, I feel him slow down and pull out, he looks me in the eye, pumps his cock a couple of times and cum on my face.

"You know Perrie, I got really pissed off today. First we saw your friends, then I lost my phone and now I'm coming back here and looking at how much you suck" tears threaten to come out as I hear his words, I'm still on my knees and he keeps turning me around.

I see him reach into his suitcase and pull out one of his ties, he rolls it up and shoves it between my lips.

"I don't want to hear a sound" his voice is so cold that my blood freezes.

He steps behind me and I hear him undo his belt.

Not again, please, no!

"That will be twenty. Every time I hear a sound, a sob or any other noise I add five. Got it?"

I take a deep breath and nod, I know it's pointless to fight.

Done.

Thirty-five.

I feel myself drift in and out of unconsciousness, black spots appear right in front of my eyes and my legs shake. Alex unties me and tells me to get up. I can barely stand.

"I'm going to the hotel restaurant, see you later"

He leaves the room and I collapse on the bed before everything goes black.

I get shaken by a slap and wake up. I look around and see that my hands and feet are tied to the bed, Alex is on top of me looking down at me, he plugs my nose and when I open my mouth he shoves his tie into it.

He fucks me for what seems like hours and the pain hits every part of my body.

Alex unties me and drags me to the desk, pushing me so that my face touches the surface of the table, he twists my arms behind my back and holds them down.

"You know, sweetie, it's been a while since I've taken your ass" with his free hand he slaps me. I try to scream but the tie won't let me. I gasp and sob and hope he comes back on his feet. He slaps my ass again and I feel as he adjusts his cock at the entrance.

Please don't

Alex enters with a sharp thrust and I feel my legs give way, he holds me up and continues to fuck me until I close my eyes and let the darkness take hold of my body and my mind.

TW - End

When I wake up I am back in bed. My hands are tied behind my back again and the tie does not allow me to speak. I can feel the cum between my legs so he has done.

What does he want now?

I look up and see Alex in front of me, his eyes are full of rage and the grin on his face terrifies me. I lower my gaze to his hands and realise what he's holding.

Fuck

Jade's coat

"This isn't yours, Perrie... Remember? I decide how you dress, I decide who you fuck, who you talk to... I'm very disappointed, sweetie"

I try to speak but I can't, I try to scream, I beg him with my eyes but-.

He starts hitting me, punches in my face and ribs, he drags me and I fall off the bed striking the floor, he kicks and punches me and I feel like I can't breathe anymore. He keeps hitting me and punching me until he straddles me and puts his hands around my throat. He squeezes tighter and tighter. I can't breathe, I look into his eyes and I know he won't stop, he smiles as he squeezes even tighter. I cry and feel the tears abandon my eyes as I realise this is the end. He will not stop.

Jade

I think of Jade, her eyes, her lips, her voice.

Jade

I wish I had told her that I still love her, that I never stopped loving her.

I love you Jade

I see her approaching, she is gorgeous, in a long white dress, she smiles at me, her eyes are welcoming and sweet and I know she won't hurt me. No one can hurt me anymore now.

I love you Jade, forever

End

Just kidding

Will Perrie be saved?

Or will Jade have to come to terms with her loss?
