These Four Walls

Fifteen

"That was Perrie, I think she found out that Zayn is cheating on her." I tell Harry and his face turns sour.

"Do you want to go to her dorm then?" He asks me and I nod in response. We make our way back to the dormitories.

I ignore all the stares people give us and focus on getting to Perrie. I knock on the door once but no one answers.

"I'll need to be with her today. Is it okay if I stay here tonight?" I ask Harry and he gives me smile, "Of course my love. Just call me if you need me okay?"

We kiss real quick and Harry leaves me alone in the hallway. "Perrie, I'm coming in." I warn her and I open the door.

She's laying on the floor clutching her stomach, crying hysterically. "You were right Jade... I should have listened to you." She tries to say in between sobs.

I sit her upright and have her lean onto me. "Shh... it's okay Pez. I'm here now." I say to her softly.

"I caught him... She was in his room..." Perrie tries to explain to me. "They were kissing... and I looked like an idiot."

I run my hands through her hair in an effort to calm her down. "He told me you were crazy for thinking those things of him..." She says.

She takes her head off my shoulder and looks at me, "Jade, I'm so sorry I didn't believe you." She tells me.

"It's okay Perrie, you don't have to apologize. The important thing is that you know the truth now." I tell her as she leans back onto me.

"I should have just believed you, I shouldn't have trusted him in the first place!" She yells as her tears come pouring out.

"I feel like I've been stabbed in the chest. I can't believe you're even here with me. I honestly thought you wouldn't come Jade." She explains to me.

I hold her hand, "You are my best friend, and through everything you come first Perrie. You know that." I tell her.

She just nods and I start to think she's run out of tears, "Thank you for being here Jade." She says to me and hugs me tightly.

A knock from the door startles us both. I leave Perrie on the floor and I open the door to come face to face with Zayn.

"No!" I yell and try to shut the door but he's much faster than me and he holds the door open and tries to get in.

"Just let me explain Perrie!" He yells and I can hear Perrie's tears start up again. "Leave her alone Zayn! You've done enough damage!" I yell at him.

I gather up all my strength and push him out of the door; I go outside the room and shut the door behind me.

"Who do you think you are? You cheated on her and you want to explain? What's there to explain Zayn?" I ask him and he glares at me.

"You're one to talk, you're a cheater too Jade." He smirks at me. "Sure, call me whatever you want to call me, but our situations are different. You and Perrie had a committed relationship, do you know what that means?" I question him.

Before he can respond I butt in, "It means you are committed to each other, it means you only have feelings for each other. What I did was wrong yes, but Liam and I never agreed to be exclusive. You on the other hand asked Perrie to be your girlfriend! Which makes you an even worse person than I am!" I scream at him.

People stare at us in the hallway but I don't give a damn. I can't stand the sight of him. My blood is literally boiling in my veins. He takes a step towards me, as if to scare me but I stand my ground.

"It doesn't make a difference Jade. You're still a cheater. You are exactly like me, once a cheater always a cheater so Harry better watch out." He tells me.
