Picking Up the Pieces ~Zerrie~

Chapter 9

Perrie's POV...

I woke up in a very uncomfortable surface. I sat up from on the couch and looked at the time 9:54am. Wow. I've been asleep for quite a while.

"Oh Perrie! You're up!" I heard a worried Jade voice from behind me

"Um yeah?"

"You've been asleep for like 15 hours!" She exclaimed

"Oh. I guess i was just tired." I got up and made some breakfast. I looked at my phone.

3 new texts

From Zayn: Hey Pez, wanna go out today? X

From El: Hey babe. How are you feeling? X

From El: You better call Zayn. He's getting worried. I told him what happened. X

To El: Im feeling better. Sorry i don't know why i was feeling like that. And i will call him in a sec X

I sent it and dialed Zayn's number

Ring Ri-

"Hello?" I heard Zayn's voice on the other end of the phone

"Hey Zayn" I said

"How are you feeling?" He asked softly

"Im fine. I don't really know what happened yesterday but i guess sleep was all i needed." I said

"Im glad you're better. Do you want to go out later or just come to my flat?" He asked

"Sure."

"I'll pick you up in an hour?"

"Sounds perfect" I said. We said our good byes and i headed up to the shower.

After i got ready i had 15 minutes to go.

"Hey, Im gonna be with Zayn today." I informed Jade.

"Okay. But tomorrow im gonna be busy." She said

"With what?" I asked

"Err...um..just grocery shopping" She said looking slightly down. I could tell she was lying

"Oh and Jade?" I asked

"Hmm?"

"You and Harry aren't dating are you? I saw you guys in a magazine yesterday"

"No! You know I would tell you!"

"Oh okay. But i know you still like him." I winked at her. She blushed and looked away

There was a knock on the door and i opened it revealing Zayn.

We walked out to the car and drove off.

"I hope you don't mind but i made plans for us to hang with El and Louis. Is that alright?" He asked

"Sounds good. What are we doing?"

"Um i think we're going to their place and watching movies and stuff like that."

"Sounds good." I repeated myself

We soon pulled up and walked into the flat. We were greeted by El and Louis and sat on the couch.

"So shall we watch a movie?" Louis asked. We all nodded our heads and he picked out Mean Girls. Oh Louis.

"Hey Perrie, wanna help make popcorn with me?" Eleanor asked as she nodded her head in the direction of the kitchen.

"Uh sure" I followed her into the kitchen.

She put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and turned it on.

"So you're all good?" She asked me

"Yeah why?"

"Just wondering. You had me and Dani worried. When you sat on the couch you fell asleep instantly"

"Oh i guess i was tired" I laughed

"Perrie." She said sternly "I think somethings wrong. I don't know what yet, but something is up"

I was very confused.

"El, I think im fine" I said

She sighed. "I don't buy it. Im going to find out what is wrong with you."

"Okay El. When you find out something tell me" I said confusingly

After making the popcorn we went into the room and sat down with the boys' and watched the movie.

Harry's POV...

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.

That was all that was running through my head.

That phone call yesterday is really bugging me.

It was Claire.

I ran my hands through my hair for about the zillionth time within an hour thinking about what is going to happen next.

I called Jade. We are meeting up tomorrow. I know i shouldn't but i need help. I can't do this by myself.

After El and Dani left yesterday me and the boys had a talk. Obviously i didn't tell them whats happening. World War 3 would happen. After i convincingly told them that there is nothing to worry about for the thousandth time, they finally left it alone.

But the truth is, there is something to worry about. They don't have to. But i do.

Only 1 other person knows; Jade.

That's the way it should be. I don't need everyone on my case about it.

I sighed and lied back down on my bed.

As i fell asleep i thought;

Maybe i can just forget about it all for a couple of hours.

What have i gotten myself into?
