Day Out

*Sarah’s POV*

I stifle a laugh as me and Perrie continue throwing cereal at Jade. Finally Jade begins to wake up. As soon as she opens her eyes she notices the cereal surrounding her.

“Sarah what did you do?” she asks me while grabbing a couple pieces of cereal and popping them into her mouth.

“Perrie told me to,” I defend, “I made breakfast my the way.” I tell her trying to change the subject.

“Thanks love. Perrie can you clean this up, while I talk to Sarah in the kitchen?” Jade attempts to say while yawing multiple times.  

Jade takes me into the kitchen and sits down at the table. I look around not sure what to do or say. I notice Jade get up and put her food in the microwave to reheat it. The clock by the microwave says that it’s already 10:55 meaning I cooked breakfast almost an hour and a half ago. When Jade comes back she begins eating again before talking to me.

“What do you want to do today? We have until 6.” Jade asks me taking another bit from her toast.

“Umm... we should go get some ice cream.” I say suddenly realizing how bad I was craving chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

“Ok,” Jade agrees, “Let’s go get Perrie and go.”

We go back to the living room to find Perrie laying in a small pile of cereal while watching some gossip show. Jade laughs and takes a picture of Perrie before getting her. Once Perrie is standing it takes her another ten minutes to get all of the cereal off of her. Finally we can leave. I practically run out to the car.

“Someone’s excited.” Perrie laughs as they catch up to me.

“They didn’t let us have ice cream or biscuits at the orphanage.” I tell them.

“No biscuits?!” Jade practically yells. “What did they feed you then?”

“Fruits, vegetables, healthy foods.” I respond, “It was terrible.”

Once we finally arrive at the ice cream shop I notice a lot of people gathered around. I suddenly become very nervous.

“Who are these people?” I ask slowly moving closer to Jade.

“It’s ok,” Jade tells me comfortingly, “They’re just fans and a couple paparazzi. Just keep your head down and don’t say anything.” She pulls me in closer and we speed up our pace.

“Are you ok?” Perrie asks me concerned once we finally make it inside.

I nod and walk up to the cash register and order chocolate chip cookie dough in a chocolate covered waffle cone bowl. Perrie gets Oreo flavored ice cream in a normal bowl. Jade gets basic strawberry in a waffle cone. Once we have paid we sit down in a booth hidden in the corner.

“I just realized something,” Perrie states, “We have never seen Sarah on her phone and we don’t have her number.” Jade nods in agreement.

“You haven’t seen me on it because it doesn’t exist.”

That’s when Jade stops eating her ice cream. She tells us we are going phone shopping after we finish eating. We laugh at her seriousness and agree with her. Once Jade and Perrie finish their ice cream, they begin stealing from me. At first I try to keep them away but then I realize it’s pointless so I stop blocking them. Jeeze they are like vultures I think to myself. After everybody finishes my treat, we get ready to leave. I notice the crowd from earlier has almost tripled in size. Quickly I get behind Jade and Perrie.

“Don’t worry. If anyone hurts you they’ll wish they were never here.” Perrie tells me pulling me in for a hug.

On our way through the crowd I can’t help but listen to what people are yelling. Some things are nice while others make me want to go hide in a corner and cry.
