These Four Walls

Sixteen

"So let me get this straight, Jesy got too drunk at the party and she fell asleep and you also got too drunk and ended up sleeping with Niall?" Perrie repeats what Leigh tells her.

We both nod at her understanding and she just sighs, "I thought I had it rough." She laughs.

It's the first time I hear her laugh since the phone call and it feels refreshing. "How do you feel Pez?" I ask her.

"Better, now that I've slept across from you. Thank you for coming and staying with me Jade." She tells me and I smile at her.

"You're my best friend Perrie. I would do anything for you." I tell her and Leigh gives us both hugs, "You guys are the cutest." She tells us.

"I'm here too in case you guys forgot!" Harry yells out of nowhere, which makes us all laugh in unison.

"Whose asses do I have to kick for you girls? Niall's and Zayn's? No problem at all!" He declares, which makes us laugh even louder.

I move to sit on his lap and he kisses my forehead, "You are better than that right?" I ask him and he just nods.

"Yes, now I am." He whispers to me and the girls look at us with admiration. "You guys are just, perfect." Perrie says but I can tell she's hurting inside.

"Babe, is it okay if I stay here a bit longer? I think I need some girl time." I ask him quietly. "Of course love. Anything you need, you name it." He tells me and gets up to leave.

"Where are you going Harry?" Leigh asks him. "I gotta give you guys some girl time! But I'll eventually want my Jadey back." He warns them.

The girls burst out into laughter again but nod at him, "Don't worry, we'll take care of her just as well as she takes care of us." Perrie informs him.

"Good!" He smiles and pulls me in for one last kiss. He dips me dramatically, which surprises me and makes me laugh, "Till next time my princess!" He jokes before leaving the room.

The girls can't stop giggling at his actions, "He is so goofy now!" Perrie says. I just nod in response.

"I don't know what happened but he's just so different." I tell them honestly. "But it's a good kind of different Jade." Perrie smiles at me.

"I hate to change topics but what are we gonna do about Jesy? You guys just made up Jade and I don't want this to get in the way of your relationship. This was my mistake and I should be the one paying for it, not you." Leigh sighs as she leans her head on my shoulder.

"I'll let her cool off for a bit then I will talk to her Leigh, this isn't just your fault. There were two people in the situation, Niall is responsible for this just as much as you are." I tell her.

Her phone starts vibrating and I see Liam's face pop up on the screen, "Go ahead and answer it Leigh." I say to her.

"Hello?" She says into the phone. "Hi, how are you doing?" She continues her conversation and gets up to leave the room.

"Who was that?" Perrie asks me and I just smile, "It's Liam." I tell her and she just shows shock on her face.

"Since when?" She asks and I just shrug. "Have you talked to Liam at all?" She questions me.

"Actually I just did, I ran into him at the restaurant I got the food from. I told him the truth and I explained everything to him. He said he forgives me and after some time he hopes we can be friends." I explain to Perrie and she just nods.

Leigh comes back into the room with a smile on her face. "Liam invited me out to lunch. Do you think it's okay if I go with him?" She asks me.

"Leigh what did I say? Of course it's okay, you don't have to ask me for permission, he was never my boyfriend!" I tell her with a smile.
