These Four Walls

Twenty

It's been a couple of days since I've met my dad. He's still in the hospital ever since they still need to run more tests.

"Thank God our lab got cancelled today. I didn't sleep well at all last night." I tell Harry and yawn as I transfer my coffee into a container. 

"I know, I had time to make breakfast for once." He jokes and clears our plates. "How's your dad doing?" He asks.

"He had his stent put in yesterday and everything seems to be doing good." I tell him and start packing my bag.

"I'm going to the hospital after class so don't wait for me, I'll see you later." I tell him and kiss him goodbye.

I arrive to my class a few minutes early when I get a text from Leigh-Anne.

Jesy texted me asking to meet up! WHAT DO I DO?

I laugh and hit reply.

UH DUH SAY YES! This is what you've been wanting right?

I see the typing icon pop up and then read her message.

I'm scared, what if she just yells at me again???

"Hey Jadey, how are you doing?" I hear Perrie's voice behind me. I turn around and show her my phone.

She takes it from my hands and types something quickly. I read her response and hit send.

"We gotta see this meet up!" She says as she takes her seat. I nod in response and face the front of the class where the professor has just walked in.

After a boring hour-long lecture we are finally free. I fish my phone out of my bag and see Leigh's text.

We're meeting at 10am in the main courtyard. PLEASE COME AND SAVE ME.

Perrie's waiting for me by the door, "They're meeting in like 5 minutes! We gotta hurry!" I tell her and pull her towards the courtyard.

We make it in time and we see Leigh sitting on a bench nervously on her phone.

"There's Jesy!" Perrie whispers in my ear and we hide behind a bush close enough so we can hear everything.

"Hey Jesy, how have you been?" I hear Leigh-Anne say as Jesy takes a seat beside her.

"What do you think she wants to talk about?" Perrie whispers to me and I just shush her.

"Listen, I think this has gone on long enough. I've thought about it and even though what you did was completely wrong, I've decided to forgive you." Jesy tells her.

Leigh's face lights up, "Jes, you have no idea how much this means to me. I still am truly sorry. Will you let me explain things?" She asks and I see my sister nod.

"It wasn't intentional at all. To be honest with you I was completely drunk and I had no idea what I was doing. I know that's no excuse but I honestly can't remember it." She tells her.

"When I woke up the morning after I knew I made a complete mistake. I didn't know how to tell you. I wasn't going to keep it from you, I just needed time to figure out how I was going to tell you." Leigh says.

Jesy just nods, "I understand. It's going to take some time for me to trust you again Leigh but I'm deciding to put this behind us. No guy is worth it."

"As a matter of fact, I think we need to get back at Niall. I want to embarrass him in front of everyone." Jesy smirks.

Leigh laughs and Jesy turns towards us. "You two can come out, we know you're in there." My sister yells at us.
