Chapter 36

Jade POV

I hear a voice shout, “Jade!” from downstairs.

“Up here!” I shout. “HELP!”

I frantically dab Harry’s bruised head with a damp towel as we sit on the floor in the bathroom.

“Where are you?” the voice says and I can now here that it is Perrie.

“Perrie! Help! We’re locked in here! Please get us out! Harry is bleeding!” I say, panicked as I jump up from aiding a lifeless Harry, who is lying concussed on the floor.

“Zayn! Do something! Get the door open!” I hear Perrie tell Zayn as she frantically tries to pull at the door handle. There is a loud thud as someone tries to charge through the door but fails.

“Out the way Zayn,” I hear Paul’s voice say. “Jade move out the way of the door. I’m knocking it down.” I pull Harry so he is lying in the bath and I make sure I’m completely out the way. Paul charges into the door at full force and the door falls down with him on top of it.

“Oh my god. How long have you been in here?” Perrie says as soon as she sees me and wraps me in a tight hug. Zayn runs over, with Paul, to Harry’s side.

“Zayn call the paramedics,” Paul says and Zayn rushes out the room.

“Jade. Tell me what happened. How did you get locked in? Who did this?” Perrie asks, holding my upper arms.

As I struggle to remember exactly what happened I say, “Well me and Harry got back here and we came in and there was a girl in here. We didn’t know what to do and it was so scary. She had a rock in her hand and she told us not to move. But then Harry got out his phone to call the police and she through the rock at him. He collapsed on the floor and she told me to take him into the bathroom so I did what she said and then she did something with the door and locked us in. I kept dabbing Harry’s head but I needed ice and there wasn’t ice and I didn’t know what to do, Perrie.” She brings me back into a hug as she rubs the back of my neck and coos gently in my ear to try and calm me down.

“Do you know what the girl looked like?” Perrie asks me.

“She looked quite young and she had dark eyes and brown hair to about her shoulders,” I recall.

“Is it the same girl?” Paul asks, turning to look at Perrie. Perrie nods slowly as Zayn comes back into the room.

“The paramedics are on their way,” Zayn says. “Jade are you ok?” he says and gives me a tight hug, “I’m really sorry. This is all my fault. These stupid fans and she could’ve hurt you and we should’ve said something to someone this morning. I’m really sorry.”

“But what is she doing here? Why was she in my house?” I ask. I know that people know more details than me and it is annoying.

“Come downstairs and I’ll explain,” Zayn says. “Perrie can you stay and look after Harry until the nurse comes? You always were a good nurse,” Zayn says and kisses her on the head before heading downstairs with me following him behind. As we walk down the stairs there are police everywhere, yet still no ambulance.

“Zayn, tell me what’s going on. Was she here because of you? Is it the same girl as earlier,” I ask as we make our way into the kitchen area.

“She was here because of Perrie and she was at my house because of Perrie.”

“What? Perrie? Why Perrie?” I ask, shocked.

“She made a note saying she’d hurt Perrie if I didn’t break up with her. She’s after Perrie. She came here to hurt her. And it’s all my fault,” Zayn says and he rests his head in his hands.

“How is it your fault? It’s a fan. You’ve done all you can to protect Perrie by keeping the relationship private but there are always a crazy few fans. It doesn’t mean it’s your fault.”

“I try to protect her but I bring her more harm than good. I bring stress and danger to her life and I don’t wanna be that guy. And now I need to break up with her.”

“Excuse me? What?” I say, taken aback by what Zayn has just said. Is he serious? He can’t be. He wouldn’t do that to her.

“The note said that Perrie would be harmed if I didn’t and I can’t put her in danger like that. I can’t hurt her like that. I’d never be able to live with the guilt if something happened to her,” Zayn says, a singular tear falling down his cheek.

“Listen to me,” I say, putting my hand over his, “You will hurt her ten times more if you break up with her. You know that. You know how she feels about you. Remember when she broke up with you? Remember how you felt? Well this is so much worse because now you’re even more serious about each other.”

“But what if she gets hurt?” Zayn asks, looking up from the table.

“She won’t if you’re there to protect her. Just don’t break up with her and definitely not on her birthday,” I say. That would be her worst birthday ever and she’s had some rough ones.

“Her birthday?” Zayn asks.

“Yes… on Sunday. It’s her 19th. Didn’t you know?” I ask, surprised that Perrie wouldn’t have told him. At that moment Perrie comes walking into the kitchen.

“The paramedics are here,” she says and I get up to leave the kitchen and go see Harry.

Zayn POV

“Hey baby, what’s wrong?” Perrie asks as she notices the tears down my cheeks.

“Don’t worry,” I say as I quickly wipe the tears away. I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her into me. “I am really sorry baby,” I say as I look up at her from my chair.

“It’s not your fault. And I’m fine aren’t I. The police will catch that girl and everything will be fine, I promise,” she says and she kisses the top of my head.

“Is Harry ok?” I ask her.

“He’s fine. He’s conscious now and the paramedics are doing a few tests but I think it is just bruising,” she tells me and pulls me up from the seat. “I’m tired,” she complains, resting her head on my chest.

“We’re not sleeping here,” I say placing my chin on the top of her head.

“It is the safest place. There are police here, Paul is staying over, and Harry can’t drive so he’s going to stay in the spare room,” she says, “Please Zayn lets just go to bed.”

“Ok, seen as though you asked so nicely,” I say and look down at her face while she is smiling cutely. Her little dimples are there and she looks so cute and innocent. I take her hand and lead her up the stairs to try and get a good night sleep.
