Come Back (a Zerrie fanfiction)

Chapter 25: You're Strong

Perrie felt happy today.

Call her weird, but she just feels so light and cheerful today and she doesn't know why.

Even if there wasn't much sun today, you could still see a bit of sunlight if you squint. And that was what she did and she didn't know why it etched a small smile on her face.

If people saw her right now, they'd ask "Isn't she supposed to be...weak to even do anything?"

The world will never know. But that's a good thing, right?

She's in the shower right now, humming a song as she massages her scalp with strawberry-scented shampoo.

She lets out a giggle, the shampoo smelled so good and she wanted to be here forever!

Perrie takes a look at her foam-covered hands. She brings them near her and blows, creating bubbles of all sizes, falling and floating.

She closes her eyes and lets out another giggle when the water cascades down from her hair to her body, the shampoo tickling her face.

Today was going to be a great day, she thinks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She steps out of her room, feeling fresh and clean and cheerful. She heads towards the other girls' rooms. They were given individual rooms last night and Perrie was okay with it.

She first heads to Jade's room which was just across hers. Leigh-Anne's was at the left side while Jesy's was on the opposite side.

When she opens the door, she's surprised to find all of the girls standing in the middle of the room, talking about something loudly but something Perrie couldn't comprehend.

"Hey girls! What's up?" She asks, breaking them from their conversation.

They all turned to look at her with wide eyes. Perrie's eyes landed on something Jesy was clutching. A paper? She squinted her eyes. Oh, a newspaper.

"P-Perrie!" Jade chirped but it was obvious that it was fake. "Didn't expect you to wake up this early! What's wrong?" she asks, a smile plastered on her face.

Perrie raised a brow, "Ummm...why? Is there something wro–"

"Are you hungry? C'mon, let's go outside! There's nothing wrong...What are you saying?..Haha..." Leigh-Anne says rather quickly, chuckling nervously when she's finished. Perrie will be honest, she didn't get a word her friend said.

"Are ya hungreh? Wanna go outside? C'mon I'm starvin'!" Jesy lets out a huge grin as she speaks in her loud hillbilly accent.

Okay, they should know by now that they're freaking Perrie out.

"Uhm, gir–"

"C'mon Perrie let's go!"

"Are you sure you're not sleepy? We can sit there beside you!"

"There's nothing wrong! There's nothing wrong!"

Soon the noise they were making made Perrie's head ache. She placed a hand on her forehead, the rest of the girls still talking–screaming–at her.

"Guys," Perrie says slowly. Nothing.

"Guys," she tries again, but to no avail.

"GUYS!"

There we go.

It's silent for a few minutes, Perrie massaging her aching forehead while the girls stayed perfectly still.
