The Malik Triplets

Chapter 29: Five in One

Perrie's P.O.V

Kyra turned on Letty's lamp to brightened the dark room. Letty was still very shaken up and wet from the water that Kyra had poured over her head. I grasped onto Zayn's arm covered in tattoos.

"Are you ok, baby?" I ask Letty.

She nodded her head, not saying a word. I glanced at Zayn. Why do I feel like we just took two steps back?

"It was just a nightmare" Vex wiped Letty's damp hair from her face.

"How'd you two know it was gonna happen?" Zayn asked.

"I told you, we feel these things" Kyra tried to joke. "Tough crowd, ok. I saw Letty's old parents today at the shops and assumed she saw them too. I figured it would happen and then we, Vex and I, had bad feelings in the pit of our stomach"

"Wait, the ones that...hurt you?" I bit my lip, afraid of an outburst of some kind.

Letty nodded. I swear I saw her lip quiver.

"Do you have nightmares about it often?" Zayn asked as cautious as me.

"Only when she's reminded of it, like seeing them today" Vex answered.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I frowned.

"I didn't think it was a big deal" Letty spoke for the first time since she woke.

"I'm sorry about your bed" Kyra scrunched up her nose as she looked at the dampened sheets.

"It's fine" Letty mumbles and rubs her face.

"I'll wash the sheets tomorrow and we'll air out the mattress. For right now, why don't you sleep in our room?" I suggest.

"You, me and Zayn?" Letty looked at me like I was crazy.

"No, the five of us. It might be squishy, but I want to wake up next to you girls for your first birthday with us" I smiled brightly.

"You mean that and you want to keep an eye on me" Letty retort.

"Am I that transparent?" I bit my lip once more.

"Come on" Zayn nodded to the door.

After five minutes, the girls were peacefully settling into Zayn and mine's king size bed. Kyra snuggled into Zayn on his side, Vexi in the middle and Leticia against me. I wrapped my arm around her, holding her close. I wanted to make sure she knew I would be there for her, whether it was to soothing a nightmare or attempting to help her mathematics. I shifted to get comfortable, almost falling off the bed. I sighed.

"This was your idea, Pez. Don't start complaining" Zayn muttered with his eyes closed.

The three girls giggles, that sounded almost one, filled the room. Zayn shushed them but their giggles grew louder. I couldn't help but join them and after a second, Zayn caved too.

"Happy Birthday!" I squealed as I jumped on the bed, waking the girls.

Zayn held his camera, videoing there first moment as thirteen year olds. Ky groaned and shielded her eyes from the light with her arm. I kept jumping, almost stepping on Letty.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" I chanted.

I watched one of Vexi's eyes peal open. The three sisters glanced at each other with a similar look. They sat up from the bed and tugged at my legs, making me fall onto the bed with them. I laughed uncontrollably and heard Zayn chuckle still videoing.

Vexi turned over and hide her face in my pillow. Letty tried to pull the blankets over her head, but failed as I landed on top of them. Kyra resumed to shielding her eyes.

"Come on girls. It's your birthday" Zayn tickled Vexi with one hand.

"No. Need-" Vexi started.

"-more-" Letty added.

"-sleep" Kyra finished with a yawn.

"Well, I've heard of couples finishing each other's sentences but never trios" I laughed.

"Come on! Let's get up and explore London" Zayn tried to motivate them.

I moved back so I sat at the end of the bed. I huffed as Letty pulled the covers over her head, successfully this time.

"You're thirteen. You guys are finally teenagers" I squeals.

All three of them shot up from the bed. They all had equally messy hair, but not as messy as mine when I first wake up. They looked beautiful anyway, but aren't all mothers suppose to say that?

"Oh my god" Vex squeal in a really high pitched voice.

"We're teenagers" Kyra laughed.

"Yes!" They screamed in unison and high fives each other.

I looked over at Zayn.

"Why didn't we try that in the first place?" I gave him an amused look.

He shrugged and continued to film the girls as they discussed the joys and privileges of becoming thirteen.

"Ok. Have a shower, get dressed and I'll have breakfast ready down stairs. Then we'll start celebrating" I instructed and pushed Zayn out of the room with me.

"Oh and girls?" Zayn stopped us before we stepped through the threshold.

"Yeah?" They looked at us.

"Happy birthday" Zayn and I said together.

"Thank you" they chimed back.
