It's All About Us

Chapter Three

Perrie's POV

I rush into Jade's house. "JADE!" I yell. I hear something upstairs, so I slowly walk to the kitchen and grab a knife just in case. I walk up the stairs trying to make no noise. I go over to her room to see her on her bed curled into a ball. I hear her crying.

  "Jade..?" I say quietly. She quickly wipes her tears and turns to me. "What are you doing here?" Her voice cracks. "I saw your door open and got worried" I tell her truthfully. "They came in here. They didn't do anything they just took some things" she whimpers. I go over and sit beside her.

  I rest my hand on her shoulder and I get these strange foreign feelings, it feels good though. I hate to see her this way, so weak and fragile. I've only met her today but, like I said, I get this strange feeling for her. "It'll be alright. I'll lock everything up again and make sure no one will be able to get in" I say as I rub her tense muscles in her back. "Can you stay..? I don't want to be alone" she asks weakly. I can't help but smile, there's something different about her. "Of course. But let's go to my house, I'll make sure you're safe" I assure her. She smiles and nods.

  "Jade, do you think you're okay to walk? I don't have my car with me" I ask her once I remember that I was on a run when I came. She nods slowly and stands up. She's a bit shaky, but much better than she was earlier.

"Alright hun, my house is just a few streets over. If you want you can hop on my back" I suggest to her. "No!" She replies quickly. I give a confused look, "it's just- I'm too heavy" she says shyly. "Jade, look at me" I say to her. How in the world could she possibly think she's overweight in any kind, she's perfect.

She continues to look at the ground. "Jade.." I lift her chin so she'll look at me. "I don't ever want to hear you say that again. I don't care if you gain one hundred more pounds. Don't say that again, do you understand me?" I say in a soft but firm way. She doesn't say anything. "What have I told you about not answering me?" I ask

"You want to be answered" she replies shyly. I smile at her and she does back. I look her in the eyes, "So, you won't say that about yourself. Understood?" I repeat. "I understand" she confirms. The whole time we're gazing into one anthers eyes. Her big brown, Bambi like eyes. They're absolutely gorgeous.

I make sure all her windows are locked, then we walk out and lock the door. I grab her hand, a friendly gesture, but I also just wanted to just because. I see her smile in my peripheral vision. I can't hide the fact that I'm falling for this girl. I've known her for not even a full day, but it feels so right being with her.

About half way there I see she starts dragging her feet and stumbling. I crouch down in front of her, "hop on" I tell her. "Miss Edwards I-" I cut her off, "You can call me Perrie out of school." "Perrie... I can't. I'm too hea-" I give her a look as if daring her to finish. "What did I tell you?" I ask her. "Not to say that" she looks down. "Jade, listen to me, you're beautiful. Absolutely wonderful." She smiles at me.

We arrive at my house with Jade on my back. She's light as a feather, and here she thought she would be too heavy. The whole way here we were laughing and joking around. I almost forgot she was my student. I almost forgot it wasn't allowed. I just want it to be us.

  I set her down and she climbs off my back. I unlock the door and we walk in. "I'll make something to eat" I say walking into the kitchen. I decide on some lasagna, I hope she's okay with that. I walk into the living room to see if she likes lasagna, but I see her sleeping. She's adorable.

  I decide to let her sleep. I decide to fix my room up a bit because the guest rooms are currently going under some remodeling. I'll let her sleep in my room tonight while I sleep on the couch. I'm just glad it's comfortable.
