Leigh-Anne's POV

It almost been a month since Perrie broke up with Jade, and Jade has still not been herself. She never got out of her room unless she was taking a shower or playing with Joseph, or buying alcohol. She played with Joseph only because she bumped into him and he demanded to play with her. She would only play with him for a few moments, an hour tops before she went back crying in her room.

I asked her one time on why did she cry every time she was playing with Joseph and she said she had a future talk with Perrie. She said they talked about having kids in the future when they found out I was pregnant with Joseph. It was a progress that she told me things because the first week after the breakup, she didn't say anything to anyone. Not to me, not to Andre, not even to Joseph, she just cried, and got drunk or high.

She talked to me now but only for a short period. She couldn't do anything, she didn't even eat unless I basically forced her to, and she didn't even go to work. Yes Jade Thirlwall not going to work is concerning. She usually just drank herself to sleep, or get high, or both, or just cried.

I was actually angry at Perrie because she didn't let Jade to explain anything. If she wanted to leave that's on her but the least she can do is listen, but no she just left her and by doing that she broke my sister. I was determined to go talk to her to give her a piece of mind but Jade asked me not to, so I just avoid Perrie at all costs.

Two days ago she managed to go out of my apartment but only came back with bottles of alcohol. Usually she would order it online so I was happy to see her going out but turns out she came back with alcohols. I didn't know what else to do with Jade, I tried everything but I still couldn't get her to do anything.

It was dinner time, so after me, Andre, and Joseph eat I went to her room, with her dinner. Usually I knock but I this time I forgot and just went in. I went in to find her holding a small medicine bottle that she quickly threw away. That was suspicious. "What is that?"

"Nothing, it was nothing," she said quickly. Rather nervous might I add.

The bottle fell to the ground so I went closer to pick it up but Jade jumped out to get it before I could. "Let me see that," I said holding out my hand after putting her dinner on the nightstand.

"No, it's nothing okay, nothing you should be worried about," she said still hiding it away from me.

"If it's nothing then it shouldn't be a problem if I see it, now give it to me," I said seriously.

"Goddamn it Leigh-Anne! can't you just drop it? I said it's nothing," she said looking scared. I really hope that it was not what I think it was.

"Jade, I'm not gonna ask again. Give it to me or I'm telling dad that you've been drinking your problem to sleep," I said. I know it was low for me to bring dad but just in case.

She took a deep breath before looking at me. "Fine, just don't freak out" she said handing it to me. Just like what I fear, it was a bottle of Xanax. Yes a drug bottle.

"Please tell me you're not doing what I think you're doing?" She just stayed silent looking everywhere but my eyes.

"Jade! Jade how could you do this to yourself?! This could kill you!" I said with anger up my throat.

"I said don't freak out," she said now calmly which told that the drug already kicked in

"Well of course I freak out Jade! this is drugs we're talking. I thought you said you would never touch any drugs?!" I said screaming the house down which made Andre come in the room.
