Perrie was waiting under a tree where she and Lauren would meet up. After knowing that Jade was confined in a hospital, she had the urge to drive her car and go to that hospital. But before she can do it, Lauren quickly stopped her and informed her that some of Jade's brothers are mad at her. So she decided not to visit Jade and blamed herself for being that stupid.

Minutes passed, she saw Lauren running like she was chased by a ghost. Perrie smiled and was about to show herself when she noticed why Lauren was running like that. There was a girl following her behind.

She immediately hides unto the tree and tried to peek to see what's going on. "Lauren, wait up!" She saw Lauren came to halt and faced the girl. "Camila, you may better not follow me," Lauren said as she tries to catch her breath.

"Why?"

"Wait, is that Shawn Mendez I saw?" She lied and point her finger to the school gates. She knows that Camila would freak out to see the famous singer. "WHERE?!"

"THERE! Oh no, I'm afraid you won't see him 'cause," To her luck, a black Audi passed by. "He just passed by. Go and catch him, Camila!" She heard Camila shrieks and ran as fast as she can. "SHAWN! Wait for me, babe!" Lauren sighs as she shook her head. The thought of the poor Camila chasing the black Audi, she really believed it was Shawn's. Lauren was now filled with the silence surrounding her.

"Lauren," A familiar voice called, she was a bit startled. She turns around to see Perrie with a coy smirk. "Sheez, don't do that again. You almost scared of me." Lauren said, and did she heard Perrie giggled? She swears that that was the cutest thing she ever heard in the world. If she's not onto Camila, she would literally fuck Perrie. She snapped out of her thoughts when she hears Perrie speaks.

"So, what? Any updates?" Lauren shrugs, not knowing how to say the news to the blonde. She looked at the blonde and to the floor. She realized that they were still on the pathway of the school, so she grabbed the blonde's hand and dragged her behind a tree where no one can see them. "Lauren, I asked you a question," Perrie said, narrowing her eyes towards the raven girl.

Lauren gulped, she doesn't want Perrie to beat her up till death. "T-There was, Uhm, good n-news and a piece of bad news." She managed to choke out, her heart is beating faster. She doesn't know what will be the blonde's reaction. When she saw Perrie's straight face, she swallowed the lump building up in her throat.

"And what is it?"

Lauren cleared her throat and told Perrie her news.

Jade's eyes started to open, one by one, feeling it was heavy like a ton of bricks. She squints her eyes, trying to adjust from the brightness. Her vision was blurry but sure she saw four figures beside her. She sat up, furrowing her eyebrows while blinking her eyes.

"Jadey, you're awake!" She heard a husky voice said. It takes her a moment to recognize the voice. When her vision was now clear, she saw three of her brothers standing beside her. She looked around, seeing a white painted wall. She furrows her brows in confusion. The last thing she remembered was sitting on her and crying her eyes out.

She looked at her older brothers, confusion swimming in her eyes. She wondered where she is.

The four of them must have sensed it and Zayn, being the closest brother of Jade, decided to tell her. "You blackout when we barge inside your room." This makes her wonder if how many days does she lost her consciousness?

"Three," They all look at Louis. "You've been here for three days now and we're glad that you wake up." He finished, giving his little sister a warm smile. "Mom and Dad are at work if you asked," Harry added.

"And don't worry about anything, the principal knows about what happened. Only the principal, not the whole school." Liam chimes in. They saw how their little sister sighs in relief. "And you know what the funny part is?" Liam said, trying to contain his giggle. He looked at Zayn, who was now glaring at him.  "Zayn flirts with Mr. Hot-Principal-Guy, that's for sure." All of them laugh except for Zayn, whose face was now in a deep shade of red, and Jade, who was still silent until now.

"Liam, I did not!" Zayn protested, pointing a finger to the eldest Thirlwall. The latter shooked his head, "Yes you are." He said, mocking Zayn.

"You liar!"

"Oh, look who's talking?" Liam retorts, making Zayn shut his mouth. They all started to laugh but there was a certain person who wouldn't laugh. The boys turn their heads to see Jade deep in her thoughts. That's why she didn't laugh with them.

Jade's thoughts was disturbed when she heard Harry cleared his throat, "Jadey, ya okay?" He asked in a weird accent. That should start Jade to laugh when he used it, she finds it very hilarious. She should be laughing right now but she can't do it herself. She looked at Harry, she really wants to give him a smile but she can't bring herself up. She was too tired. She remembered everything that happened before she blackout. She's such a self-destructive and stupid. "Jade?"

"Tired." It came to a whisper. She can feel a lump building up in her throat. She tried to swallow it but it was too thick and hard. Now, she knew she was weak. She's not as strong as they thought. Her heart was broken in millions of pieces. Each second passed, she feels so numb.

"I'll just go call the doctor," Louis said in a low voice. "Come with me, Harry?" Harry nodded and the two went out of the room with their shoulders slumped down. This is the first time they saw Jade like this. For all they know, even if she was sick, she would try to act fine even it wasn't. She doesn't want all of them to feel worried about her and have pity. She would try to lift their spirits up and try to make them smile even on a bad day. "Jade, what's wrong?" Liam asked with a worried voice. He was about to touch his sister's shoulder when she speaks, "I just want to go home. Don't like it in here." She swore herself when her voice cracked at the end.

"Okay, just take a rest. The doctor is coming." Zayn said and went to the chair beside Jade. "It's going to be fine." He reassured more like to himself.

The door opens and the doctor comes in along with Harry and Louis. "Alright." He started and opened his clipboard. He does his job and the Thirlwall brothers just watch him.

"How is she, Doc?" Harry asked impatiently. The doctor faced them and cleared his throat, "She's fine, but we need to do some check-ups and tests before she can leave."

"So what your saying is she can leave this day?"

"No, but hopefully, tomorrow she can." They sighed in relief and the doctor closed his clipboard. "So, may I go and leave you here? Everything's fine, don't worry." He said and all of them nodded, the doctor went outside leaving the Thirlwall siblings.

They eyed Jade for a second and Harry spoke, "Glad to know you're fine, Jade." The small brunette looked at him and nod. "You can sleep now if you want. We'll be just here." Liam offered and Jade obliged what her eldest brother said.
