Finally Known Love

Chapter 20

Jade's POV

I wake up in a dark, closed space. From experience, I was about to scream at the top of my lungs, when my eyes adjust, and I see where I am. I close my mouth, and laugh at myself. I was in my hiding spot, with my book in my hand. I check my watch, and shoot up. I've been gone for three hours... holy crap! What if they called the police by now? I race out of there, squeezing out the hole. I try running, but since I was only in flip flops- "AH" I screech as I slide into the stream. The water was cold, and now I was soaked. I get out as quickly as possible, before running through the woods, racing home.

I finally reach the porch, gasping for breath. I knock on the door and instantly, it swings open. I am engulfed in a hug, which I gladly accept. "Where have you been?" I hear Dad scold me, as I hug Mum even tighter. Finally I pull away, to see Dad looking expectantly. I look down, and mumble "Ifellasleepinacave." I say, fast and soft. Dad raises an eyebrow, before looking at me. "Okay, now louder, and way way slower." I sigh, before saying it again. "I fell asleep in a cave okay?" I speak louder this time, before pushing through everyone to go to my room. "Jade?" I hear someone behind me ask. Sighing, I spin around. "How did you fall asleep in a cave?" Louis asks, looking at the other boys, and they shrug too. "I, um, may have a, um, hiding place there for, um, when  need to have some time to myself." I say, before looking down, and sprinting up the stairs. I go to my room, and change clothes, since ya know, I fell into a stream and all.

Once I put on my outfit, which consisted of some light blue Soffe shorts, and baggy camp shirt from when I was like, 16, and some fuzzy socks. I then throw my long, sort of curly, brown hair into a high bun, before grabbing one of my Violet Love tie dye headbands. Then, to top it all off, I take my contacts out, putting my turtle glasses on. Once I am satisfied with my outfit, even though no one will see me like this, I start to pick up my room. I hum, cleaning up the mess the boys and I made during the twitcam. Soon, instead of just humming, I'm full blown singing and dancing to One Thing, and now now now, everyone needs a throwback sometimes, don't judge!

Once I finish singing into the hairbrush, I hear clapping, and whip around to see the boys with trashbags and cleaner stuff. I bow, while blushing, before gesturing for them to enter. They come in, and soon are helping me clean, as we sing random songs. As we dance, laugh, clean, and play, I have a feeling Mum and Dad were videoing us, but whatever.

After we finish cleaning, its time for the boys to leave, and as soon as we close the door, I hear my dad clear his throat. I slouch, knowing what's coming next. I slowly turn, and look at the floor. "Now Jade, what were you thinking? Running off like that? Yea I know we scared you with our glance, but still Jade. What was running through your head? You didn't even have your phone! Do you know how worried we were? I just- ugh." He groans, tugging at his hair. I frown, seeing his point of view now. "I'm sorry Dad, I have been to that spot so many times, it is like my second home." I exclaim, walking over and pulling him into a hug. He buried his head in my neck, and I just let him hug me. He needed that reassurance.

I pull out of the embrace, and head up to my room. It was getting late, so I checked my Twitter and Instagram, before turning on the music I listen to to fall asleep, and snuggle into the covers. Soon, I'm fast asleep, oblivious to anything around me, despite my amazing reflexes and incredible hearing, but you get the point, I was asleep.

AN: yes, I have not updated in a week. I'm sorry, I am busy, and it is hard. I will try to update again, I really try, but sometimes I just don't have time.
