I Wanna Save You

Chapter 17

•Chapter Seventeen•

(Jade's POV)

Today is the day. I'm going along with the Bakers to pick up Ivy from the orphanage.

I get out of bed and pick up my phone. No texts.

Putting my phone in my pocket, I go to the washroom. Quickly, I brush my hair, then pull it back in a ponytail.

I go to my closet and throw some going out clothes on (which is navy blue skinny jeans and a slightly see through blouse) and walk downstairs.

Mom and Dad have gone to work and my brother is sleeping.

I walk over to the stove and begin preparing some french toast. Once I'm done, I put them on a plate and drown them in maple syrup. Content, I pull out and fork and knife and walk to the living room.

I pull the remote towards me just as the doorbell rings. Scowling, I get up and drag my feet to the door.

I fling it open saying, "This had better be important because you interrupted me from eating my french toast!" I glare at whoever is at the door, then stop, realizing who exactly it is.

It's One Direction.

I remember Ivy telling me to be all fangirly if they come, so I let out a scream.

"Ahhhh!" I squeal, jumping up and down. "Oh my gosh, it's One Direction! Eeeeeeeee I can't believe freaking One Direction are standing on my front porch!" I whip out my phone, stand in the middle of the boys and snap a picture, laughing silently at their stunned faces.

"Er..." Harry says, running his hand through his hair. "Hello."

I wiggle my fingers at them in a wave.

My brother comes stomping down the stairs. "Jade! Why are you screaming at this early hour of the morning?"

"One Direction!" I squeak, pointing a purposely shaking finger at the boys.

My brother eyes them suspiciously. "What are you doing here?" he asks them.

"We're looking for a friend," Liam says.

"We thought she might be here," Niall adds.

"What's this friend's name?" my brother says, yawning.

"Ivy Rose," Louis says.

"Is she here?" Zayn asks.

"Ivy Rose? You mean her-" he jerks a finger at me "- friend?"

The boys nod.

"No, she's not here." He begins to walk away. "Sorry."

The boys look disappointed.

"Sorry to bother you," Liam apologizes.

"Don't worry about it," I say. "You didn't bother me at all!"

"We'll, er, just be going now," Niall says, turning and walking down my lane way. The rest of the boys follow and I close the door.

I walk back to the living room and finish my french toast. As I'm putting my plate in the sink, my phone buzzes. Pulling it out, I see I have a text from Kylie.

To: Jay Jay 

We'll be picking you up at 11 k? See you soon :) 

From: Kyles

I check to the time to see that it's 10:30. I have half an hour to get ready.

I run upstairs and hop in the shower. Once I'm done washing myself, I dry my hair quickly and brush it. I walk to my closet and pick out some green skinny jeans and a shirt with a cartoon unicorn. I pull on some neon striped socks and admire myself in the mirror hung on the inside of my closet door.
