*Gemma's P.O.V*

Harry called. I was in the kitchen as my phone rang. He gave me the news I would never want to hear. I was fluttering at first when he said Jade agreed to marry him. But then the fluttering stopped when he said he would go search for Tanya when they would get married. That literally broke my heart, thinking about how Jade must be feeling. I told him to choose wisely. I gave him the hint of the hope he was giving Jade with all his gifts but he didn't understand..

Immediately after I ended the call with Harry, I dialled Jade's number. I rang and rang and "hello, this is Jade, I'm busyyyy, please leave a message". It went to her voice mail. I tried several times again but she didn't pick up. Her poor soul. I knew how she must be feeling. This is not what loving should lead to. She must be completely shattered.

I rushed to my room and got dressed, putting on my shoes and grabbing my phone. "Mum, I'll be back, I'm going to Jade's place" I informed her and rushed out of the house. Starting mum's car, I drove to Jade's place. She needed someone. She must be alone at home. Half way through the ride, I thought I had to tell the rest of the boys about this. I decided to call Liam. He picked up instantly. "Hey Gemma" he spoke. "Hi, Liam. Are you free right now?" I asked him. "Yeah, why? Is everything alright?" He spoke with a more stern tone. "Can you and the boys meet me at Jade's house?" I asked him. "Gemma, what's wrong. What happened?" He asked. The boys must've been at his house, I could hear Niall asking who Liam was talking to. "Let's just say, Harry didn't do good. The management told Jade and Harry to get married as an act, Harry flipped out and came back home. He was confused. He then went over to Jade's house and convinced her to marry him for the act. And when she got convinced..." I took a deep breath. "He told her he'll take her with him to go search for Tanya then give her a divorce and marry Tanya.." I told him. "Dammit, Harry. Did you call her?" He asked. I could hear the anger in his voice towards Harry. "Yeah I tried but she didn't pick up. I'm worried" I informed him. "Okay, we're coming immediately." He told me and ended the call. Jade's house was pretty far from here but that didn't matter right now.

It took me a solid half an hour or more to reach but I was finally here. I could see Liam and the boys sitting in a SUV outside Jade's house. They got out immediately when they saw me. "Gemma" Liam spoke and nodded at me. "We didn't want to go in without you, you know you're a girl. She'll understand you better." Zayn spoke scratching the back of his head. I nodded at them and went to her porch with the boys following me. I knocked once. She didn't answer. I could see her lights were off from her windows. "Is she sleeping?" Niall spoke up. I looked at my watch. "It's 11. It could be. But she must've woken up by the ringing of her phone". I knocked again. Still no reply. "I'll call on her cell once more" I spoke and took out my phone. It rang. "I hear it" Louis said. "She's inside then." I knocked again but she didn't answer. "Jade?" I called out hoping she'll answer. No answer. "Do you want me to call, Harry?" Liam asked. I don't think it'll help but maybe he knows what to do when she doesn't answer? "Try." With that, Liam called Harry. "Harry. Jade's not answering her calls and we're at her house. Have you contacted her after you left?" Liam spoke sternly. "No, fucking hell, Harry. Answer me." Liam was angry at Harry. Of course he would be. I was disappointed at him. But he doesn't even know about this. "Ok. Don't come right now. We'll tell you if we need you." Liam spoke once again. "NO" and with that he ended the call. "He said her house door is usually unlocked." Liam said. I reached for the door knob and he was right, it was unlocked. Why would she unlock her house? I opened the door and turned the lights switch on that was right next to the door. "Bloody hell" Louis whispered surprised. I looked over and oh my goodness. There was glass shattered everywhere. A bottle of alcohol, vases and the photo frames that had Jade and Harry's picture in them. All shattered on the ground. "What on earth happened in here?" Zayn spoke. I didn't waste time and rushed upstairs, trying my best not to step on glass. "Gemma!!" Niall exclaimed. I had to see her. "Jade" I called out. No reply. I went to her room and there she was. "Jade. oh my god. Jade. Get up." She was a mess. Torn dresses on the ground. The bracelet Harry got her for Christmas lying next to her bed and the necklace... that he got for her at the auction.. Lying lifelessly in her lap as she laid back on the ground with her eyes open. "Jade, please say something" I told her. I almost wanted to cry at the sight of her. I saw a tear roll down her left eye without her speaking. "Oh my god. Jade! Are you alright" Louis spoke as he saw Jade. He was followed by the boys. Niall rushed over and picked Jade up and placed her on his lap with her head on his chest and wrapped his arms around her. "Shhhh" he said to Jade as she started sobbing. She held onto his shirt and cried. I felt a tear drop down my face. She was completely broken. All because of my brother.. who didn't even know about this. "I'll go get water." Liam spoke softly and went downstairs. Louis sat next to Niall holding Jade's hand and Zayn was picking up the torn dresses and jewelry mess that had been made. I couldn't do anything to help her right now. On my knees just watching her sob. "I can't do this anymore" she spoke softly. Niall held her face in his hands and wiped her tears off. "Look at me, Jade." He spoke. "You're the strongest girl I've ever met, you can't say that." He told her. "Yeah, Jade. Please stop crying, it hurts to see you in this state" Louis included rubbing her hands softly. Liam came in and handed Jade a glass of water. She slowly gulped some down. "She's kind of drunk." Niall mouthed to me. I shook my head at him. She was in her senses. Zayn placed the stuff on her bed and sat next to me. "Jade.." I spoke up after a while. She looked at me. Her eyes were dull and puffed up. The usual shine in her eyes was gone, completely gone. "You need to tell him." I said. She looked at me painfully for a while and shook her head. "I can't." was what she said. "He can't know." "Jade, why? Why can't he know. We're not going to see you suffer like this. We can't see you cry over him." said Niall. She placed her hands on her face and laid back on Niall's chest. "He's going to hate me for it. He would never like me back. Let alone love." She spoke with extreme hurt. We all stayed silent. "And he'll leave me. I won't be able to see him.. to feel his touch.. to have him look into my eyes when i talk.. he'll just go.." She whispered sobbing again. "But you never know, Jade. He needs to know how you feel. He needs to know that you love him. There's a chance of hope. Zayn spoke. "I love him. But it hurts to see him talk about Tanya.. Someone I want to be so I can be loved by him. He talks about giving her all his love when I want all his love.. I'm done. I can't bear this anymore." She sobbed.

That's when I saw Louis looking at the door behind Liam. I followed his gaze. Harry. His eyes filled with some sort of emotion, looking at Jade. "Harry.." I spoke. He must've heard everything. Jade looked over immediately towards the door and inhaled sharply. I got up and walked over to Harry. He finched under my touch. "Niall. Leave. Her. Alone." He spoke sternly clenching his jaw. Niall immediately got up with Jade in his arms and mouthed 'sorry' to her and walked away from her. She looked down at the floor and fidgeted with her fingers. We didn't know Harry would react this way. Liam coughed nervously and spoke up. "Harr.." "Can all of you get out." Harry spoke sternly once again. He referred to all of us except Jade. I wanted to stay by her side to help her but I couldn't right now. He knows. "Harry.." Louis spoke up. "Just get the fuck out already!" Harry shouted making Jade finch. We all scattered out and Harry slammed the door close. Louis shook his head and went downstairs. We all followed him and sat in the living room.

I had never thought Harry would react this way. He was always so gentle towards Tanya when she hinted her feelings for him then how come, he reacted this way when he overheard Jade. She was his best friends for almost his whole life. I wish I could tell Jade that she would be alright but I didn't have a good feeling about this. He knows now..
