Chapter Eleven

Wow, 1.4k reads! Thanks so much! Love you all!

Jade's POV:

I groaned as my alarm blared to life on my bedside table. My hand shot out from underneath my covers, and slammed down on the top of it, silencing the disturbance. I yawned, and slowly crawled out of bed. 

I shuffled over to my dresser, and grabbed one of the outfits Niall had given me, a pair of black super skinny jeans, and a grey tee-shirt that read, "Weekend Vibes." I brushed my hair, and put it up in a ponytail.

I opened my bedroom door with a loud squeak. I padded softly down the hall, because my mom was still sleeping. I grabbed an apple from the fruit basket, and slipped on my converse. I grabbed my backpack, and headed off to school. 

"Ni!" I yelled, running over to my boyfriend, and jumping on his back. "Woah! Hi Jadey!" Niall laughed, carrying me on his back into school.

As we walked down the hall to my locker, I noticed a lot of people staring at us, who had never bothered to notice us before. "Patchwork!" Jesy yelled, she and her group of populars walking over to Niall and me. I noticed that the hallway was now clear, and it had been very full and noisy just a second ago.

I hopped down off of Niall's back, and flashed Jesy a smile, while on the inside I was terrified. "Hello Jesy. Can I help you-" I was suddenly pushed backwards, and hit the ground with a cry of pain. "Jadey!" Niall made to help me up, but he was held back by a smirking Harry, and Liam. 

"Now little Patchwork, we all know that it was your fault that I got in trouble, and now have to go to counseling," Jesy growled in my face. "So, it's you that will pay." She grabbed my arm, and dragged me towards the bathroom, away from Niall. He was screaming, "Stop! No! Jadey!" 

Jesy kicked open the bathroom door, then dragged me into one of the stalls. She propped me up against the stall wall, and started punching me. Jesy didn't stop until I couldn't move from the pain. "This isn't over," she hissed in my ear. Jesy then left me crumpled on the floor, bleeding and crying.

I suddenly heard the bathroom door open, then a gasp. "Oh no, Jade!" It was Leigh-Anne! Leigh rushed over to me, and gently helped me sit up. Once I shook my blurry vision away, I saw Leigh sitting next to me, her face full of concern. "Jesy?"

I nodded slightly. Leigh-Anne's face turned angry. "I swear, if Jesy ever hurts you again, she'll have to answer to me." I shook my head. "Please...don't get involved," I managed to choke out. "No, not when you will get hurt like this," Leigh-Anne took out a first aid kit from her backpack. "For emergencies," She explained.

Leigh-Anne helped patch me up, and even gave me some pain meds. Apparently she was being trained early to be a doctor. Who knew? "Thanks," I smiled at Leigh-Anne. "No problem, now go see your boyfriend, he's probably still pacing outside the bathroom," Leigh-Anne stood next to me. "Niall!" I ran out of the bathroom, right into Niall.

"Oh, Jadey!" Niall cried, throwing his arms around me. "Ssh, it's okay Ni. I'm fine," I whispered, rubbing his back. "But, who helped you?" Niall asked, pulling away, his hands still around my waist. "Leigh-Anne. I'm so grateful, I totally underestimated her as a person," I sighed. "Well, I'll have to thank her for saving my Jadey." Niall kissed my nose, making my face scrunch up.

"You're so cute when your face is like that," Niall smiled at me. I blushed. "God, you guys are too cute, I might cry!" A voice said. I turned around and saw Leigh-Anne standing a few feet away, a huge smile on her face. "Thanks Leigh!" I smiled. "And I waould like to thank you for helping Jade," Niall grinned at me.

"It was the least I could do, I really owe her a huge debt," Leigh shrugged. "See ya!" Leigh walked off, probably to find Perrie. I frowned, thinking about  took Niall's hand, and led him off to class. 

"Jadey? Class ended like 5 minutes ago. It's break right now," Niall said, leading me off to the library. Once we got there, I let go of Niall's hand, and walked to the fantasy section. When I got there, I saw a familiar blonde looking at a book. It can't be... 

I turned around quickly, and walked back the way I came, hoping that Perrie hadn't noticed me. I should have known that luck is never on my side. "Jade?"

So, how did you like that chapter? Sorry if it's a bit short and not great, I was rushed. I have a few questions:

1. How much longer do you still want Jiall? It's still a Jerrie book, remember.

2. How do you want Jerrie to get together?

3. Should there be a bit of Lourrie?

No idk's please. Thanks so much! Love you all!
