Protecting My Kidnappers

Chapter 3- Letting it go

-Jesy's POV-

I open my eyes slightly, seeing the sun through my window.

I close my eyes again, clutching the blankets tighter. I can hear everyone else talking downstairs, which wakes me up more.

I prop myself up on my elbows, my messy hair falling over my face. Actually, messy is an understatement, it's disastrous!

I grab my hair brush off my nightstand, looking at the strands of brown hair stuck in between the bristles.

I sigh, roughly pulling it through my hair. I wince as I run into a knot, feeling like I'm yanking my hair out.

I move to the back, probably the worst spot for me.

I realize my hair is curling up, which is normal but frustrating.

I give up on combing out the rest of the small knots, putting my hair in a ponytail.

I open my middle dresser drawer, and pull out my dark purple crop top.

"Might as well." I say to myself, tossing it on my bed.

I close that drawer, and open up the bottom one.

I grab my favorite pair of black jeans, putting them beside my crop top.

I pull off my nightgown, throwing it into my laundry basket.

I grab a sports bra from my dresser, pulling it on.

I grab my jeans, putting both legs in. I jump, pulling them up quickly. I zip and button up the front, grabbing my crop top.

I slip it on, smoothing it out. I let down my long hair, and it hangs just past my shoulders.

I look in the mirror, focusing on my stomach. I hate it, I hate it so much! I just wish I was like the other girls; light, dainty, the barbie doll figure.

I break out of my thoughts, deciding to go downstairs.

I open my door, closing it behind me.

I slowly make it down the stairs, seeing everyone else sitting on the sofa.

"Morning Jesy." Destiny greets, smiling at me.

"Morning." I reply, sitting beside her.

"Sleep well?" Leigh-Anne asks, with a slight laugh.

"Ya. You?" I ask, and she nods.

"Not really. I was awake most of the night." She admits, staring off into space.

"You do realize it's nearly eleven." Perrie informs me, and my eyes widen.

"Eleven?!?" I exclaim, surprised that I slept that long.

Jade laughs, leaning her head on Perrie's shoulder.

"You seem comfortable." Perrie smiles, and Jade nods.

I notice Destiny has a worried look on her face, which makes me curious.

"You okay?" I whisper to her, not wanting to draw attention.

She looks over to me, a blank look on her face.

"I'm fine." She whispers back, but the look in her blue eyes says otherwise.

I drop the topic, deciding to find out myself.

"Are we just gonna sit here all day?" Leigh asks, and everyone looks at her.

"Is there anything to do?" Perrie continues with a sigh.

"We could go shopping!" Jade exclaims, her face lighting up with a smile.
