Sighing, Jade threw all her clothes (also the dirty ones) into her suitcase but stopped in her moves before zipping it closed. She felt her heart clench at the thought of leaving London already... but she had to. Neither did she know what it was that made her not want to leave the city this time. She had been travelling through the entire country now, stopping in small and sometimes big cities and never had she been bothered by leaving.

She had met many people; men who had tried to win her heart and in the end, their blood had been spluttered over her body. Those men had never tried to win love towards them... all they ever wanted, was a little shag to fulfil their needs and then they would drop her again, looking for someone younger and prettier. And those women she had met. She was still wondering if any of them had been either happy or devastated in case they knew what she was doing to those heartless pricks, who were only thinking with their penis.

The image of the blonde policewoman flashed her mind and she felt her cheeks turning a bright shade of red. Yesterday, when she had killed that man when this brown haired girl was on the toilet, she had almost been caught. Luckily, the black haired policewoman had turned up or else she couldn’t have resisted the urge to help Perrie up. When she had heard the cracking sound behind her, she knew something had happened to her and turning her head around, she had seen the blonde laying on the ground, her foot pointing in a direction it never should. It was weird how much the sight of Perrie had affected her like this at that moment. Her breathing had hitched and it was like her heart decided to skip a few beats whilst her stomach was twisting and turning. Never in life had she felt so hurt when it wasn’t even herself, who was being physically hurt...

But that moment the other girl had come around the corner and helped her up – only by seeing them together in her hotel room not too long ago, she knew the black haired cared a lot about the blonde... the way she looked at Perrie was evidence enough. She was sure the feelings weren’t mutual though. She wasn’t sure though if the blonde ever saw the way the other woman looked at her or, in case she saw it, if she cared. It wasn’t like she called the blonde heartless... it was just, that she wasn’t sure if Perrie even wanted to date anyone. All the time she had been in school with the blonde, she had always secretly kept an eye on her and never in all those years had she seen a boy (or a girl) at her side.

She somehow felt anger boiling up inside her – to be honest; she only wished she could stay because of Perrie. When they were school, Perrie had been the only one being actually nice towards her but she never spoke to her much, afraid of annoying her. They could have been best friends... maybe.

Jade huffed and flexing the muscles in her arm, she zipped the suitcase closed (which didn’t work as easily as she had hoped). A knock on her door let her head snap out of her way too confusing thoughts and furrowing her brows into a frown she walked towards the door, her hand turning the knob before she pulled it open.

To her surprise she saw a blonde haired woman standing in front of her with a sheepish smile. “Hey, Jade,” the blonde said, her blue eyes sparkling a bit. Her cheeks flushed a little red and she looked away, not being able to focus on Jade’s own.

“Hey Perrie,” Jade smiled surprised – it was an actual surprise to see her. But suddenly she paled... could it be that the blonde had gotten a glimpse of her running away from her yesterday and was here to get her into jail? No, that couldn’t be – not the way Perrie looked like. If she was here to arrest her, she wouldn’t be smiling sweetly and her cheeks wouldn’t be a cute shade of rosé... Jade cursed herself silently at that thought – the feelings she once had for the blonde should have vanished years ago. “May I ask what you’re doing here? I was about to leave the hotel.”

“Oh,” Perrie murmured and her smile slowly faded. “I thought you’d stay here a little longer. I-I don’t actually know what made me come here. I just thought... since you’re all alone... you might... want some company?” She had intended it to come out as a question but now that she spoke the words she couldn’t help but feeling insecure. What if Jade liked being alone? After all had she never really spoken to her when they were in school either. But when they had, Perrie told herself to capture every single moment and to remember it forever.
