Zayn's Maid

Chapter 54

Perrie's P.O.V

1 week later...

Zayn hadn't seen the boys since the argument with Niall and I worried about what the newspapers had to say. Some accused me of being the problem and that put a lot of pressure on us. I felt the tension between Zayn and I just from the stress and umpteen phone calls.

"Perrie stopping Zayn from seeing 1D boys..."

"Niall's secret affair with Perrie..."

I was sick of it, sick of these rumours and the constant hassle from the prez.

Zayn was struggling too.

He hardly touched me anymore, he didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was ever so slightly bigger. Most of the time he sat with his guitar in a world of his own, usually locking himself in the spare bedroom.

To keep myself busy I kept the house clean an tidy, polishing the windows and hoovering to pass the time. I ran out into the pouring rain to dump the mound of newspapers I had picked up in the bin, an envelope catching my eye. I pulled it out to find more, a whole bag full of them...all addressed to me. I looked over my shoulder and pulled it out, throwing the bag of newspapers away and returning to the house in a cold sweat.

I emptied the bag of envelopes onto the table and gasped, sifting through them slowly. I knew what it was.

Hate mail.

I burst into tears and fell to the floor, surrounded by envelopes covered in horrible words. Zayn rushed into the kitchen, stopped dead in his tracks by the overflowing mail.

"Perrie-"

"You knew didn't you?!"I cried.

"I...I thought I was protecting you, that it would be easier if you didn't know?"

"They want me to die..." I whispered, "the baby-"

"Stop Perrie!" he said firmly, grabbing one of the letters I had opened from me, "it's not worth it."

He piled them back into the bag and tied it securely, falling beside me with frustration.

"Wait" I whispered, "I...I recognise that writing."

I picked up the open letter and traced the handwriting with my finger, my gut twisting painfully.

"What? What do you mean?" he asked.

"Jade," I cried, ripping the paper to shreds.

My Jade.

Sorry it's such a short chapter! xxx
