Chapter Forty- Five: The Loudest Scream

Sorry I haven't updated in forever.... I'm an ass. Here you go.....

{Perrie's POV}

I don't waste words on people who I don't think need me to say anything to them. I've been good at ignoring the words of others that I find pointless, words that won't affect me in the long run. Because sometimes, the most powerful thing you can say, is nothing at all. 

"Urgh, Per," Zayn mumbles as I stretch out in the bed, kneeing him in the hip. We've merged back into one bed again, but I wouldn't go anywhere near saying that things are great. "Can you not?" He sleepily questions.

"Grumpy much," I smile, swinging my legs off the side of the bed and then getting out, tossing my bit of duvet back so his body is still covered. 

"What time is it?" Zayn mumbles, rolling over and burying himself back into the mattress, the duvet pulled up under his armpits, dark hair ruffled everywhere. 

"Ten past six," I respond, checking the time on the watch that is on my bedside table. "I'll get the girls ready, then take Ellie to school," I say, each word coming out slow as I strip off my pyjamas and then put on fresh clothes. No time to shower, had one before bed last night. "You take Lillie and Rosie around to Jonnie's, remember Harry's present. I'll meet you there," I say my final bit as I pull my hair up into a ponytail. 

"Hmm," Zayn mumbles in response. 

"Got it?" I check.

"Take twins to your brother's, remember Harry's present. Done," he exasperates. Tossing my pillow at his grumpy ass head, I walk out of the room and then into the open plan area, where Ellie is sitting at the table, eating something out of a white bowl. 

I bend over the table and check that she is eating breakfast, which she is. Weetbix I think, it's all mushed up so I can't be certain. But it is cereal of some form. 

Ellie gives me a smile, with her mouth closed though, otherwise the giant mouthful of milk and Weetbix she has would, well.... After Ellie swallows she points at the stairs, "Roo and Lillie are in their room. I got them out of their beds, but they stay up there."

"But they stayed up there, baba. When you're talking like that, instead of saying, 'they stay up there', you say 'stayed', okay," I explain, rubbing her head, her dark hair all messy from sleep. Ellie nods her head and then eats some more cereal. "Thanks Boo," I smile and then rush upstairs, grabbing the twins and brining them back down as they continuously talk about everything and anything- unaware of the impact silence can make.

"Brother!" I call out, closing the front door behind me. 

"Lounge!" I hear Jonnie call back, and I walk into the living area, kicking off my shoes and tossing my jacket onto the back of the couch, looking around the house that was built for Gemma and him. 

"Hello," I smile at Jonnie and Gemma. 

"Hey Kid," Jonnie replies as he continues to chop some sort of food, Gemma is pulling a cake out of the oven, and the children are all playing in the lounge area. Zayn is sitting at the bench, spreading icing over cupcakes. 

Sitting down next to Zayn, I pick up a cupcake and start to spread blue icing over the top of it. Zayn is dipping the icing coated cupcake he has in sprinkles. Bear in mind these cupcakes are for the birthday of a grown-ass man who is turning twenty- nine, almost thirty years old. 

Later in the afternoon the 'family' arrives. Louis and Henry are first, followed by a heavily pregnant Jesy and with Jake, and then Leigh- Anne and Jordan. Liam and Danielle turn up and finally Jade arrives with Harry.
