"It's my fault isn't it?" She asked me with tearful eyes. "What's your fault baby?" I wiped my eyes before turning around to her, gripping the edges of my sweatshirt. "That you yelled at everyone.." She said quietly, waiting for her turn to put her print in the system. The quicker we get this done, the quicker I can cuddle my baby. "No princess, I'm just overwhelmed okay? I'm not trying to be mean I just.. I think I started my period." I whispered to her and made a funny face. I was lying. She cackled, "Ohhhh.. too much information babydoll." She scrunched up her nose. I leaned in to kiss it and she pulled away, pushing a sweet kiss against my lips when I pouted. I giggled, but it couldn't hide the pain that was inside. It took everything in my will power not to tell her the truth. I hate lying to her.

I know the second we step through this door something bad will happen. It's what I was born to do, I'm able to sense things and communicate through my brain. It's the reason this is my family and not the people whose genes created me. I just feel lousy and useless because I don't have the strength to tell anyone. It would only cause more problems. "Jess.. it's your turn." I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to everyone else. I reached for the touchpad, before hesitating and pulling my hand away again. "What's wrong Jesy?" Niall asked me. "Uhh.. it's nothing." I forcefully pressed my thumb against it and the door unlocked. I didn't want to do it, but it was that or my cover was blown.

I trailed behind Perrie while walking through the corridor. We came up to the final door of the underground. "This is it." I told myself mentally, gripping Perrie's hand to protect her if my sixth sense was right. The door burst open with the force from Simon's hand. We were in the basement. We let out a breath of relief and started upstairs, everyone immediately more relaxed. I raised an eyebrow at the smell in the air. It wasn't normal.

"Anyone else smell that?" "Yeah.. guys.. GUYS!" Jade yelled as bodies started to hit the floor. First Andre, then Niall, and Simon. "Cover your noses!" I pulled my shirt up over my nose and bit it to hold it there. Everyone else did the same. I looked around in panic— Perrie didn't get anything up in time. I dove to catch my girlfriend as my eyes filled up the tears. "Get-" I coughed, "Out. Take them too." The unconscious people were moved back down into the underground, but Leigh and Jade never left my side. I hauled Perrie up and held her against my chest. My shirt slipped in the process, exposing my face to whatever chemical lingering in the air. I rushed to pull it back up and followed the other two out of the door. We locked everything up again and sat in the quiet metal hallway. After venturing down a bit, away from the house, we stopped and sat— bags and everything still in hands. "A-Are they okay?" Zayn breathes heavily, grateful for the fresher air.

We all released and did the same. "They should be fine. From what I know, our league probably left the chloroform pods in there, causing them to explode due to high pressure. They left, but waited for us to return and make us weak, in order to attack again." "Jade how do you know that?" She bit her lip and fumbled with her hands, Leigh's hands rubbed her back and she leaned against her shoulder. "Once, James had planned to attack you guys, something about Simon not doing anything right, and that was what we were going to do. But after almost everyone opted out, he gave up." She sighed. It was obvious she was upset about it, more so disappointed.

I stroked Perrie's hair. "Come on baby, wake up for me." When she did nothing but a severely slight stir, I filled with panic again. "Jade.. darling how long until the effects wear off?" Leigh asked. "Umm.." Her lip quivered, she was afraid to tell us. "Anywhere between two hours and four months.." "Damn! That's a huge difference! Are you positive Jade?" "YES! She's positive Alex!" Leigh yelled at him, then turned to Jade. "It's alright baby. Calm down." She hugged her and kissed her forehead. Jades hands trembled as she clung to Leigh with her life. "So what do we do now?" I asked, sighing while running my thumb over the palm of Perrie's hand. Leigh-Anne pulled her face from Jades curly hair, "We wait."

And that's what we did, waited.

I felt a stir next to me and pulled my eyes open. It was dark, darker than normal in here. That means the censors have gone and that it's night outside. "Jesy." A voice whispered. The accent was, hmm.. Geordie. "What's up Jadey?" I reached out in the darkness, hoping to find her small body. "Huh?" "Jade are you okay?" "It's not Jade." My heart raced. I placed my hand in the spot on my lap where Perrie had been laying. I took my phone out and turned on my flashlight. "Pez!" I squealed. "Baby, are you okay?" Her eyes filled with tears and she shook her head. "I don't feel good." She cried, crawling towards me and wrapping her arms and legs around my body. "It's 6:46, baby. Can you wait fourteen minutes to wake everyone else up and go home?" She shook her head in my lap. "Dammit. She's gonna be sick." I mumbled to myself.

I turned to start waking people up, because we couldn't wait for her to get to her worst. "Simon!" I yelled. Hoping he had woken up already. He didn't wake up, but everyone else did. "What? What's wrong?!" Eyes were filled with panic. "Perries going to be sick. Guys, we need somewhere to go. We can't go back there now. She's weak, they're weak." "But can't she wait until I wake up?" Andre groaned. "Andre! What the fuck?!" Alex threw a shoe at him. "Stop being such a dick Alex!" "Stop fucking fighting before I beat both your asses with a shoe!"

"Now. We need to get them somewhere safe. It's not healthy for any of us to be down here any longer." "See? Dani gets me!" I rubbed Perries back. My fingers traced her bra outline and I massaged her lower back. "It's alright baby. You'll be okay." She whined. It pained me to hear that noise.

She let out a thick cough before hot liquid covered my legs. She yelped, jumping back away from me. "I'm sorry. Oh my gosh Jesy I'm sorry! Please don't hit me!" She shielded herself with her arms before leaning down and covering her front with vomit. I didn't mind that I was covered with my girlfriends puke, but I wanted her to be okay. I want to know why she's afraid of me hitting her. As she emptied the contents of her stomach, I stood up and peeled my jeans off with all flashlights on me. "Eww Jesy that's gross!" "Shut up Gray! It's just like a goddamn bathing suit!" I set them aside and crawled over to Perrie. "It's okay baby. Let it out." She choked, trying to tell me something. "Shhh." I nearly gagged at the smell and sight, but I felt too bad for her.

"Start packing everything up. I know where we can go." "And someone, please try to get Simon up. We need him." The blondes lips finally shut and there was no more vomiting, for now. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean too, I-I'll clean it up." "Perrie!" She whined and sniffed, starting to move around faster. "Princess it's okay! You're sick and I understand that. You don't have to clean anything up, alright?" She nodded sadly. I used an old towel someone had brought to clean up the mess that had been made. "Leigh. Grab me the black hoodie from my bag please." I stripped a drowsy Perrie from her t-shirt and sweatpants. "Nast-" "Andre shut your trap before I beat your ass. Leigh grab my leggings too."

"Okay Jess." I turned and caught them. I used the back of her puke covered shirt to wipe her mouth and neck. I slipped her into my clothes before pulling her close to my chest and kissing her forehead. I heard zipping of bags and feet hitting the floor. "Ready everyone?" "Yeah." "Yes" "Definitely" "Lets go." Harry and Liam held Simon up as they walked. Jade and Leigh held Perrie and I's bags, thankfully. I hoisted Perrie up into my arms and walked straight towards our destination.

"Where are we going Jesminda?" "We're going to Baileys." "Baileys?" "I said Baileys didn't I?" "Well.. yeah but.. the diner?" "No Niall, the train station." "Oh..okay." "NIALL!" "WHAT?" "YES THE DINER! OH MY GOD!" Choroused laughter filled the air, my gosh he's clueless.
