The Dream Journal

Chapter 1

"Leigh, do I really have to go?!", Perrie whines in question as Leigh applies her make up.  "Why don't you just bring Jade with you, or even Jesy.  You know I hate clubs."

"No!  Ever since your breakup with Zayn you've been locked up in your room, barely ever leaving.  You need to get out, and this is the perfect opportunity.", Leigh explains as she slabs some lipstick onto Perrie's lips.  The blonde knew that the reason she stayed in her room had nothing to do with Zayn, but she also didn't want to say anything to reveal her secret to Leigh-Anne.

"So, there's no way I'm getting out of this, is there?", she asks with a pout.

"Nope.  Now come on, you're ready.  We better leave now before traffic get's heavy.", Leigh says as she pulls Perrie off the chair she was sitting on, pulling her along out the door, the two of them passing Jade and Jesy as they sat in the living room.

"Be safe kids!", Jesy calls out just like a mother would, and it makes Jade giggle beside her as she continues to read.  Perrie wishes she could just stay in she and Jade's flat, sitting next to her to hear her giggle and sigh once and a while as she read her book, being so invested in it that everything else in the world just seemed to disappear.  Perrie didn't ever mind that Jade went into a different world at times, she was happy just spending time with her fellow Geordie.  But no, now she has to go with Leigh to a club.

"We will, mom!", Leigh calls back jokingly, and then the door is shut behind she and Perrie.

"If I was a hoodie, where would I be?", Jade asked herself as she walked into Perrie's room, searching for her hoodie that she let Perrie borrow yesterday.  She frowned at the slight mess in the blonde's room, sighing as she bent down to pick up some dirty clothes and throw them in the hamper, where they're supposed to be.  She also kicks some shoes out of the way to create a path for her to walk over to the other girl's closet. 

When it's nowhere in the closet, she groans in frustration, glancing around to room to think of somewhere else it could be.  As she's looking around, something catches her eye, making her head turn back to focus on it.  She slowly walks towards Perrie's nightstand, looking curiously at the journal that's been placed there.

Jade's never seen Perrie with that journal, so she's guessing it must be new.  She picks it up, moving it this way and that.  It was a peculiar journal, very old looking, but she wasn't one to judge.  She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help herself from flipping to the first page.

She read the first couple of sentences, smiling as she realized that Perrie was describing her dream that she had that night.  "A dream journal.", she whispers to herself, flipping through the pages, hungry for more information.

Clearly the content within the journal was meant to be kept secret, needing a key to get it open.  However, it was Jade's luck that Perrie had forgotten to lock it after she last used it.  As she skimmed through the pages, she started to notice that Zayn was rarely ever mentioned, and that all of Perrie's dreams were happy.  It was pretty strange, considering that she, Jesy, and Leigh had all thought the blonde was depressed about her breakup with Zayn.

"Hey Jade, I'm heading out, okay?  I'll see you tomorrow!", Jesy shouts from downstairs.

"Okay!  See ya tomorrow, Jes!", the shouts back, flipping to another page.

A smile was plastered on her face as she continued to read through pages, finding it cute how Perrie wrote out every single detail in her scribbled handwriting.  When she finished going through the last page of Perrie's journal, she started to get a weird tingling sensation in her body, her vision starting to go blurry.
