The British Exchange Student

Chapter 7

Jade's POV:

Perrie was already feeling fine so the doctor allowed her to go home. Her parents were able to come also and they stayed the night in the hospital.

To say that Perrie gave me quite a scare when she fell off my arms would be the biggest understatement of the century. Well, maybe not the century but you get my point.

I thought that maybe she had a heart attack or something and I was already hysterical. I was so worried that I will lose her and in a span of two days, I learned to care for her so much.

I remembered everything that happened yesterday. And believe me I still feel bad for my friends.

Flashback~~~

"Perrie!" I screamed. We were walking towards the clinic.

Someone ran towards me and they were asking me some questions. Like heck that I care about those questions.

"Can you just please freaking call 911?! She's dying here!" I shouted, visibly irritated. The guy nodded and contacted the emergency number, seeing as I left my phone in my locker.

I heard a group of people running towards us too and when one of them touched my shoulders, I snapped.

"Get away from me!" I growled as the person backed off.

It was Leigh Anne.

She was with Jesy, Harry, and Dinah. They were all panting heavily as if they ran from the cafeteria to here, where an unconscious Perrie and I were.

"Jade, calm down. She's not going to die," Jesy gripped my shoulders tightly. Leigh Anne backed away as if she was scared that I will snap again.

"How the heck would I calm down, Jesy?! She's unconscious!" I got out of her grip.

"Dude you're overreacting, okay?" Harry told me, in another attempt to calm me down.

I narrowed my eyes at him and I could tell he felt uncomfortable at my gaze. I couldn't think of anything else but Perrie and her health right now.

"The ambulance will be here in any minute now," the random guy said, but I didn't really listen to him.

"See you have no problem. Perrie won't die," Dinah said as she gave me a look of concern.

Control yourself Jade. They're your friends, I thought to myself. I'm so close to blowing up.

"Shut up," I lowly said. I don't want to hear them.

"Jade, just calm-" Harry didn't even finish his sentence before I punched him square on the jaw.

Jesy and Leigh Anne's eyes widened while Dinah looked like she was about to attack me.

Jest held Dinah so that we won't get into a physical fight, while Leigh Anne was the one who held me off. Harry was just there, eyes wide as if he hadn't seen this part of me in a long time.

Finally, Dinah calmed down but she glared menacingly at me. She walked away with Harry following behind her.

"Why the heck did you do that, Jade?!" Jesy asked and I can see that she's also pissed.

I ignored her and because the ambulance has great timing, I carried Perrie to the assigned bed on the van and joined her.

I know they're both angry and hurt, but I didn't look back.

End of flashback~~~

I didn't know what was happening to me yesterday. I punched my best friend and pissed off three of my friends.

I noticed Perrie looking at me for quite a while now and she looked worried at me.

"Hey," I said as I approached her.

"Everything alright with you?" she grinned.

"You're seriously asking me that?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

She shrugged and giggled. I just nodded at her but before I could walk away and be left with my thoughts once again, she engulfed me in a hug.

I smiled against her contact and let myself drown in this affection she was giving me.

Affection? Not really. But that's what I want to call it.

I knew we had to let go soon but I was still disappointed that it happened. If I had a choice, I would've stayed in that hug forever.

Oh who am I kidding? She will never feel the same way as I did in that hug.

She asked me if I wanted to stay in their house for a while, but I knew better. The faster that I let go of her, the faster that I will accept that she will never be into me and the faster I will move on.

So I declined her offer, and anyone with eyes could tell that she was disappointed and... hurt? I decided not to think about it.

I called an Uber and saw her staring at me. I waved awkwardly as I pulled her out of her trance. She blushed and ducked her head down.

When my Uber was already here, I went to Perrie's parents first and told them that I should get going because my parents are probably worried already. They thanked me again and told me to be safe.

Before I left, I went to Perrie and told her to always observe what the doctor told her to do. She rolled her eyes playfully and shoved me lightly.

I was about to walk outside to my Uber when she hugged me yet again, but this time, she whispered something in my ear.

"I'll miss you,"

"Pez, we'll see each other in school tomorrow. Well, unless you don't go," I smiled reassuringly.

"I'll still miss you," goddarn it, she pouted.

I just chuckled at her pout and pinched her cheeks. She's so cute.

Perrie quickly held her cheeks and glared at me playfully when I rolled my eyes. I waved goodbye to her and got in my Uber.

I really like her. I don't know how I could like her in a span of two days but I do.

And maybe she likes me too, I thought as a smile made its way to my lips, because I saw Perrie looking at the Uber as if she didn't want it to go.

It couldn't hurt to assume a little, could it?
