"We need to get you back to Zayn." Trisha says.

"No. There is no way I can get back to him. It's impossible." I tell her. "What am I going to do?"

"We'll get you back to him." Doniya rubs my arm. "You won't go on like this alone.

"She's right." Safaa says. "You can't raise your baby without Zayn. Every kid needs a dad."

Trisha hooks her arm around me and says into my ear, "We'll get you out of here, don't worry."

If only it were that easy. I used to sneak out of here all the time but I was always with Jade. When you're with Jade, you're pretty much guaranteed a clean escape. You never get caught as long as you're with her and it was so easy to just walk out the door. But doing this without her, I'll get caught for sure, not to mention the punishments thrown at me after that.

"Thank you all." I say. "I just don't think we can do it. And I won't let you four get in trouble for helping me."

Waliyha is clearly fed up with my negativity as she steps towards me. "Perrie, you are getting out of here. And we're not doing this just for you. We're doing it for you, the baby, and Zayn."

"But what about you? What about all of you? I can't just leave you here. Someone's got to protect you around here and--"

"We are protected here, Perrie. This is one of the most safest places we can be, believe it or not." Waliyha tells me.

"What?" I am so confused at this point. This is the SI! You aren't supposed to be or even feel safe here!

"Zayn pays the Institution loads of money each year to keep us safe. They can't lay a finger on us." Trisha explains to me.

"H-he does?" I ask and they all nod.

"He's probably going to do the same for you now that you're in here." Safaa says.

"And he'll do even more than pay money to the SI to keep you safe once he knows you're pregnant. I believe he'll do anything and everything in his will power to get you out of here." Doniya adds.

Oh yeah, I'm pregnant. I just can't wrap my head around it. I hadn't even considered the possibility of getting pregnant when I had sex with Zayn without protection. I was so f*cking stupid! Why was I not thinking clearly? Oh, I know why. Even the slightest thought of Zayn turns my brain to mush.

That's why.

"Doniya, he's most likely already trying to get her out of here. He clearly loves her to pieces and he wouldn't let her stay in here." Waliyha corrects her.

"He loves us too and we're still here. Ever think about that?" Doniya snaps.

"Zayn loves you guys." I blurt and they all turn to look at me. "Yeah, so what if I never heard of you guys until I met you? I know Zayn and I know how much he cares for the people close to him. He probably tried to get you all out but couldn't do anything about it. It's not his fault."

Trisha sighs and then changes the subject. "Let's just focus on getting you out of here, alright? Let's sleep on it and decide what we'll do in the morning."

"But--"

"No, Perrie." Trisha silences me. "We're getting you back to Zayn."

I sigh and nod. Either they're underestimating the power of the SI or I'm underestimating them. Whatever they plan has to be detailed down to the last touch if we're going to even have a chance of getting me out of this place.
