Sudden Dive into the Past and Future

As the minutes went by, Jade waited on the third floor of Perrie's house until Leigh Anne came back from the store. She didn't want to intrude on Perrie and her time with the siblings of the man she killed so she stayed there. Her phone ran out of battery a while back so she is sitting upside down on the couch while staring at paintings hanging on the walls. That is when Jade noticed the same maid who told her she couldn't be here sneakily walking out of a room, glancing both ways before stashing something inside of her pouch of her apron.

Jade stayed silent and continue to observe the maid walking with a cart out of the room. She was grateful that the maid didn't see her but at the same time, what was the maid doing inside of the room other than of course cleaning. Jade sits up on the sofa as she watches the maid walk into the elevator. She had thoughts to see what the room is when she notices a box laying on the floor. Jade gets off the sofa and walks over to the box to pick it up in her hands, turning it over to read what it is, she raises a brow, "Rat poison."

"Give me that!" The maid that was here before snatched it out of Jade's hands as she grumbles back to the elevator. Jade is stunned at her lack of words and manners. She watches as the maid lob the box inside of the trash can in the maid cart. Jade stood there watching the painting and the door to the room as she waits once more for the maid to leave the premises. This time, making sure that the maid did leave the floor, she just opened the door and walked inside of the room. She didn't care if the maid found her out. Curiosity had killed the cat and Jade is curious to see what the maid was doing inside of the room.

Jade scans the room as she spots it be covered in plastic wrap. Furniture and clothing were packages outside or inside of boxes. Jade runs her hands against the vanity dresser and revolts in disgust at the grime on the furniture. Walking further inside of the room, she sits down on the bed as she looks over to spot an open box with a picture frame. Jade made her way over to pick up the frame and gasps at who she saw in the frame.

It's Perrie and, who is that? Is that... Elle? When did she become friends with Perrie? Jade place her hands on the frame as she rubs her finger against the glass. Slowly eyeing as the tip of her finger became dark with dust. Caressing the glass as she looks at the two in the picture, Jade closed her eyes. Oh, how I miss her.

*+*+*

"Jade! Jade! Come on, we're going to be late for the fair!" Elle yelled as Jade slips a black sweater over her head. She looks over to find her friend in a black romper.

"I know! If you would've texted me that you were coming here late, I would've got dressed before you came... what did you even do that took you a whole hour?" Jade asked as she searched for her small handbag and for her glasses.

"I- I met someone..."

"Aw!

*+*+*

"Jade!"

Quickly shoving the frame inside of the box, she took one last glance at it before speed walking to the door. Opening and closing it before Perrie could even question if she was inside of the room. She smiled as she spots Perrie waving at her to come down the stairs. Pity, I wanted to take the elevator. Walking over, she scans Perrie's face to find that she has a big grin on her face.

"Whatcha doing up here," she questioned as they walked down the stairs.

"Like I said, admiring the view," Jade replied as they hears the butler yell out, "Ms. Edwards... Ms. Pinnock is here."

"Leigh is back." Perrie says as they both notice Leigh Anne holding onto a bag of goodies and a bottle in a paper bag. Leigh slowly shakes the bottle and motions to the chocolates and flowers in the bags. It seems to be that Leigh had time to redo her hair. This time, her hair is split in the center into two long braids.
