Adopted By Zerrie

Chapter 42

~~Jade's POV:~~

Slamming my bedroom door, I throw myself onto my bed and stare at the ceiling. While I gaze at the glow in the dark planets and stars, I throw my denim jacket at my mirror and kick my uncomfortable heels as far away from me as possible. Tears trickle down the sides of my face and I don't try to stop them.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I never cry-well, until now. I was always the strong one, Arianna was the one who got upset easily, it was never me-until now. I can't believe I embarrassed myself in front of everyone, now they'll all pity me. I hate it when people pity me.

But I don't understand why Josh cheated. Am I not worth it to him or his he just a straight out jerk? Did he suddenly realise that I'm not the thin, pretty, model girlfriend he wanted? To him, I'm now probably just the weird girl who sits and watches TV while eating for the entire day. He didn't want a girl like me on his arm when he received his father's fortune.

Man, this has really affected my self-confidence...alot.

A knock comes at my door.

"Who is it?" I choke out, expecting it to be Arianna, coming to comfort me.

"It's Niall," he says softly. "Can I come in?"

"Sure," I sigh, sitting up and moving to the side of my bed.

The door creaks open and Niall's styled blond hair and bright blue eyes peek around it.

"How are you doing?" he asks, coming to sit next to me on the edge of my bed.

"Not too good," I say, truthfully. "I don't know what's wrong with me, I never cry."

"There's nothing wrong with you!" Niall reassures me. "Everyone cries, and you've been through a bit of a rough patch. Everything combined just got a bit much, I guess."

"Yeah, I guess. Thanks," I smile up at him and realise that he's put his arm around my shoulders, but I don't push it away. I like the feeling of it there. Again it feels-right.

"Anytime," he smiles back at me. His eyes look into mine and I feel that strange connection that I never felt with Josh. His stare sends shivers down my spine, but they're not the horrible shivers you get when you're scared. No, these are those shivers you get when you're excited.

"Jade," he whispers, still looking into my eyes. "I never told you before, but I like you-alot."

My heart is beating like crazy inside my chest. I want to say that I like him back. I should tell him about the strange connection I feel we have, about the spark I feel when I look into his eyes.

But instead of telling him all these things, I rip my gaze from his and get up off the bed. I look back at Niall and see that his mouth is open wide and his eyes are full of hurt.

"Niall, I want to say I like you to and I do. I do like you alot, but-"

"But that doesn't make sense!" he blurts out. "If you like me, then-"

"No, Niall!" I raise my voice slightly. "I just broke up with Josh this afternoon and I don't want you to think that you're a rebound. I want you to truly know that I like you for who you are."

His eyes watch me as I make my way to the window and look out.

"Things have escalated to a certain point where I think I need to have some time to myself and have a bit of a breather."

At this point I am almost scared to sneak a glance at Niall, but I do anyway. His eyes look sad and confused.

"I'm sorry Niall, but I need some time to sort my feelings out."

"Don't worry, I understand," he strains a cheerful smile. The he quietly trudges out the room.

Before he closes the door, he whispers "I really like you alot, Jade."

With that, he is gone. A few moments later I heard the sound of voices, then the front door slamming and a car speeding away into the distance.

I go over to my mirror and stand directly in front of it. I think I've made the right decision, about Niall. I really don't want him to think that I'm using him to get over Josh. If we ever have a relationship, I want it to be real.

"Jade?" Perrie knocks hesitantly and opens the very door that Niall closed only 10 minutes ago. "The boys have left and Zayn, Arianna and I are going out so you can have free reign over the house."

"Ok," I strain a smile. Wow, tonight is all about straining smiles.

~~15 minutes later~~

I feel like some fresh air. Everything has happened so fast tonight and a little fresh air will help to clear my mind.

I open my window, but there is no wind so no air comes in. I sigh, opening my bedroom  door and walking slowly down the carpeted stairs.

The handle of the front door feels cold under my hand as I turn it and step out into the refreshing night air.

I'm just about to heave a sigh of relief, when someone comes up from behind me and claps their hand around my mouth, preventing me from screaming for help.

A strange smell enters my nostrils and I slowly feel myself losing consciousness. I try to fight the person who holds me strongly but my attempts grow weaker and weaker.

The last thing I hear before I completely lose my consciousness is my old arch enemy.

"You didn't think you'd get away that easily, did you sweetheart?"
