Jade

"Jade, wake up." A voice tells me as I feel my body rock side to side. I groan softly and pushed the person's hand away. "Go away." I instruct. "I'm afraid I can't do that." the voice chuckles. It was Lauren. I squint a couple of times before I got used to the brightly lit room. "What time is it?" I yawn. Lauren sighs, "What did I say about having all nighters?" she asks me.

"I'm sorry," I apologise. "I wanted to get my work done." I finish. She nods in disbelief. "Just because Perrie isn't here to tell you off that doesn't give you the right to stay up and work. You've been given three weeks off because of the accident. Rest and then work. Not work and then rest when you only have a day left. Perrie's already in hospital. We don't need you there either. I mean look at Bella," she giggles. I rub my eyes and I only realise that my daughter was in her arms. "I don't think she'd wanna be alone."

I chuckle, "You still haven't answered my question, Jauregui." "It's ten past twelve. So I suggest you get your ass out of bed so we can go visit your other half. Be like Bella. Up and early unlike her mother." she says. "Shut up." I say.

"I'm just kidding. Did you have a good sleep?" she asks me. "It was great. But the dream I had was digusting. It felt so weird and it was horrible. It felt so real though and that was the worst part. Like what if it was and -"

I feel my body being shaken and my eyes open. "Jade," Lauren says. "Wake up." I groan and I squint to adjust to the rooms lighting. "What time is it?" I ask her. She chuckles, "It's two thirty. You've been sleeping all this time that you'v missed it. Did you dream about something?" she asks me.

"Since we're on the topic of dreams I actually did have one. Not just any normal everyday dream though. A dream inside a dream," I sigh. "Wasn't the dream I was quite going for."

"Well you're awake now. I guess you won't have to continue that horrid dream." A familiar voice laughs. I furrow my brows before I lift my head off of the hospital bed. "Miss me?"

I turn my face and without another second to spare I lift myself from my chair and I throw my arms around Perrie. "Careful there, Thirlwall."
I frown, "You scared me shitless! I thought I was gonna lose you." I say as tears roll down my cheek. Her warm smile softly fades, "Hey, no. I would never, Jade. I'm here. Guess the carnival isn't the most pleasant place for this family. But I promise you. As many times as I get injured or hurt or whatever, I'm never gonna leave you."

I reach out for Jade's hand and I pull her towards me. Tears leave her perfect face and I watch her brown eyes form a crystal clear ocean, "I love you Jade. Nothing will tear me away from you or from Bella. That's gonna be a promise I will keep till the day I die. That dream could've been much much worse. But this is reality. I'm here. I'm alive. Yeah, there's some scars here and there but on the brightside. I'm here to see another day baby girl."
