Protecting My Kidnappers

Chapter 7- Battlefield

-Perrie's POV-

I wake up to the phone ringing, and I pull myself out of bed.

One of the cons of having a bedroom downstairs.

I slide my feet across the hard wood floor until I reach the phone, picking it up.

"Hello?" I ask, my voice rough.

"Hi, is this Perrie?" A familiar voice asks, but I can't think of who it is.

"Yeah. Who is this? Sorry I'm still waking up." I apologize, trying to think straight.

"Tyler Quinn, your old boss's boss." He laughs, and I wake up a bit more.

"Oh, Tyler! Um... Hi." I gain my composure, sitting down on the couch. "Why are you calling so early?"

"First of all, it's nearly ten. I'm not calling that early." He informs me, and I laugh a bit.

"Sorry, my brain isn't awake yet." I blink a few times.

"Totally fine, Perrie. Anyway, this is really important." He starts, and I listen carefully.

"I need you, Jesy, Jade, Leigh, and Destiny to come down to the center ASAP." He explains, slowly enough for me to process.

"Why?" I ask, my eyes going wide.

"I heard about the car accident you girls were in not too long ago, and I think I know who did it." He tells me, taking me by surprise.

"How are we supposed to get there without a car?" I ask, the realization hitting me.

"I'm going to be there in about an hour to pick you guys up, please be ready when I get there." He continues, and I nod.

"Perrie, I can't hear you nod or shake your head through the phone." He jokes, and I laugh a little.

"Yeah, we'll be ready. We'll see you soon." I reply, and the line goes dead.

I get up and drag myself up the stairs.

I go into Jade's room, slowly opening the door.

I lightly shake her sleeping figure, hoping she'll wake up.

"Jade, you need to get up." I whisper, and she groans.

"Go away." She nearly growls at me, and I try not to laugh.

"I can't. We need to go to the center, Tyler's going to be here soon." I explain simply, and I think she wakes up a bit more.

"Fine." She yawns, sitting up.

"Thanks Jadey." I rub her back, moving on to Leigh's room.

I open the door, and see a small light.

"Leigh?" I ask quietly, walking over to her slowly.

A phone screen shines in my face, making me squint, turning on Leigh's lamp.

"I see you're awake." I say, sitting on the end of her bed.

"Have been for a few hours now." Leigh replies, locking her phone.

"Rough night?" I ask, knowing that she has phases of nightmares every now and then.

"Ya." She yawns, sitting up.

"Well, Tyler called and asked us to be ready in about an hour. We need to go to the center apparently." I explain, standing up.

"Alright. I'll be down soon." Leigh assures me, and I close her door behind me.

Now for waking Jesy up, probably the hardest, other than me.

I sigh, walking into her room.

I shake her until she tries to push me away. At least I'm making progress.
