Jerrie's Adoption Story

Chapter Ten

Perrie's POV

   Once I wake up in the morning, I'm met with an empty bed. Memories of last last flood through my brain. What if she regrets it?

   We kissed last night for the first time. And it felt...perfect. Like everything was the way it should be.

   I walk downstairs and see Jade sitting on the couch looking at her phone with a frown. Oh no, is she alright? I walk over to her and she quickly turns her phone off putting it down. She looks up at me and smiles, a fake smile might I add.

   "Good morning princess" she says trying her best to sound cheerful. I know she's upset because something on her phone. Because the way she quickly put it away and how she was looking at it. I know her well enough to notice these things. "Good morning" I hold my hand out for her phone. She doesn't seem to pick up on that though. She puts a hand in mine and chills run down my spine. "As much as I love holding your hand" I say pulling my hand back slowly so she won't get the wrong idea. "I want your phone"

   She freezes. "Where's yours?" She asked with a shaky voice. "I don't want mine, I want yours" I tell her bluntly. "As in now. Or will I have to forcefully take it?" She looks at me shocked. I raise an eyebrow waiting. She sighs and rolls her eyes. Nonetheless she hands it to me.

   I open it and see that she's on Instagram. I read all the comments about to her. And there's a lot of hate, but not all which is good. These are awful, how could someone say such mean things about my baby!?

   "Jadey, you know not to read these" I tell her. She shrugs and looks down. "It's nothing really Pez" she says. "Nothing? Baby they are upset you greatly I can see that" I said to the brunette sitting in front of me.

   "Can we just skip all the talk? I just want to cuddle." She gives me a pout. "Of course Love" I say sitting beside her. I pull her onto my lap and hug her. I sigh out in content, I don't like the situation, but I love how we are. She falls asleep soon.

   I log her out of her Instagram, I'm not letting her on there anytime soon. I start to play a game she has on there, but I don't understand it at all. Once Zoey wakes up she comes down. She sits beside me as I still have Jade in my arms. She looks at me confused, but doesn't say anything. She taught me how to play the stupid game, that turns out I actually like.

   I set Jade down on the sofa and went to go make breakfast with Zoey. Once it's done I go to wake Jadey up. "Perriiieeee" she whines. "Jaddeeyyy" I reply and laugh. She groans and rolls over going back to sleep. I roll my eyes and go sit with Zoey in the dining room to eat.

   "Mommy, is Mommy Jade okay?" Zoey asks concern written on her face. "She's just a little upset, nothing too much babe" I said back. I hope I'm right.

   It's dinner time now and all day Jade's been real quiet and not herself. It's worrying me a bit. Zoey and I are sitting at the table waiting for Jade, I told her dinner was ready like five minutes ago. She hasn't eaten today and I'm starting to wonder if it's because of those comments she read this morning.

  "Hold on Zo, I'm going to go get her" she nods and looks down. She's confused as to why her Mommy Jade won't come play fish with her and work on their dance.

   I walk into Jade's room and find her laying on her bed..on her phone. I clear my throat and she jumps and puts her phone away. All I have to do is look at her a certain way.. she sighs and gives me her phone. I unlock it and find her on none other than Instagram. I put her phone in my back pocket and walk over to her. I embrace her in a hug which she happily returns. "I'll talk to you after dinner. Come on love" I say the first part sternly and the last part softly. She nods and follows me.

   When we get into the dining room Zoey runs up to Jade and jumps on her. "I missed you mommy! You've not been down here all day and you left me to play all by myself. Mommy Pez can't play fish right" I playfully bring a hand to my chest faking hurt. Zoey and Jade giggle, oh I could listen to that all day.

   "Alright alright, sit down. Foods getting cold." I tell them as we all sit down. Throughout the meal Jade's only taken a couple bites, mostly picking at her food. When Jade was younger we developed an eating disorder, I really hope it wasn't going to return. "Jade, baby come on. Eat" I say quietly. She takes a deep breath and begins to eat some more.

   I put Zoey to bed after dinner, alone. Jade always puts her to sleep with me. She's just having a bad day. "Goodnight my angel. Mommy Jade and I love you so very much" I say kissing her head. "I love you guys too" she says back sleepily.

   I go to Jade's room and see her looking out her window. I still have her phone so that's probably why. "Poopey" I call out to her. She turns around and smiles. She pats the space next to her and I walk over and sit down.

   "Jade, you know not to look at the comments. You taught everyone in the group that, why won't you take your own advise? Baby please hear me when I say this: you are absolutely beautiful. You take my breath away everyday and you could just be in a pair of sweats and a baggy t-shirt. You have the most amazing personality; you're so kind and considerate. You can make anyone laugh with your craziness. You do these little things that drive me wild. Baby when I look at you, I see nothing but a perfectly imperfect soul. You're not perfect, to me you are. You have flaws, but I love every single last one of them. Jadey, you are so much better than what they say you are. You're everything I could ever for. My daughter calls you 'Mommy' I mean I find that great. I want nothing more than for you to be her mother too. Jade I thought I loved Zayn and Alex, but it turns out I didn't know what Love was back then. Jade never have I ever had these feelings I have with you..with anyone else. I don't want them with anyone else. I've only recently found out what these feelings were. Jade you may hate me after I tell you this and never want to speak to me again, and that'll break my heart. But I need to tell you. Jade I'm in love with you." Tears are flowing out of the both of our eyes. "Do you hate me n-" I get cut off by soft lips smashing into mine.

   "I love you too" I hear her soft voice say
