Jade's heart pounded in her chest as she sat in the crowded cafeteria, the weight of everyone's eyes upon her. The revelation of her secret addiction had sent shockwaves through her, leaving her feeling exposed and vulnerable. Being surrounded by judgment and whispers, she couldn't bear to be in the cafeteria.
Jade felt numb and could only hear ringing in her ears. Everything was a blur and she couldn't see anyone or anything. Leigh-Anne ran up to Jade, took her hand, and led the way out of the cafeteria and into a more private corner of the school.
As they found an empty classroom, Jade took a deep breath and started crying.
Leigh-Anne nodded understandingly and comforted her. She knew Jade needed a safe space to share her struggles without the prying eyes of the student body.
"It's okay, Jade. I'm here for you," Leigh-Anne said, offering strength and solidarity. Jade felt the weight of her support, and it gave her the courage to open up about her addiction.
Taking a deep breath, Jade began to share her truth, her voice steady and filled with determination.
"I've been battling with a drinking and clubbing addiction," Jade admitted, her eyes welling up with tears. "It's been tearing me apart, but I want to change. I don't want this addiction to define me."
Leigh-Anne pulled Jade into a tight embrace, offering comfort in their shared vulnerability.
"You're not alone in this, Jade," Leigh-Anne said softly, her voice filled with empathy. "We're here to support you every step of the way."
All of her other friends involved with the revenge plan found Jade and Leigh-Anne momentarily and all joined in comforting Jade.
Jade felt a glimmer of hope within her as she realized the strength of their friendship.

Dear Diary,
It's been a while since my last update. Even though it has been 5 days, it feels like 5 years! After the whole incident with Zayn exposing me, I've been taking it easy. I started going to therapy to battle my addiction, and it's helped a lot with stress and anxiety. Especially since the Syco Games are coming up and we need to spend time prepping for it. It also sucks that Zayn is still on the same team as us despite what we've all done to each other, but c'est la vie. I just feel bad for Perrie since she's the one that was most affected, that was her boyfriend for heaven's sake! She hasn't been the same since that day. She's been hiding from us and refusing to talk. We never see her anymore, except for preparing for the Syco Games. Even then, the only thing coming out of her mouth is when she needs to sing. And I never see her in our dorm, either her door is closed or the door is wide open, indicating her missing presence.
Maybe it's because we've all been busy, but she has to talk to us at some point. I miss her.
Oh! Harry and I doing just fine. He's been supportive of me after the whole incident, taking me to therapy and back. He's been by my side, and I couldn't ask for anyone better. We've been practicing together, and we're basically inseparable! Though we've been so busy, we haven't even gone on a proper first date yet.
Sigh. Eventually, we'll go on one. Hopefully. I gotta go back to practicing, catch you up later.

Today, however, my mind was clouded with doubts and insecurities that threatened to overshadow the excitement.
