Perries POV;
I woke up to a beeping sound that was constant. Bright lights filled my vision. Was I dead. I squinted my eyes adjusting to the lights. I looked around and saw a blue curtain surrounding me I looked down and I had some wires hooked up to my arm. "Ahh miss Edwards your awake" a strange person said as they came through the curtain. "W where am I" I looked around and started to panic a bit. "In the hospital" I nodded "now miss Edwards we've looked on are system and we've noticed you have no next of kin which is a bit odd to say your only 16" I grew nervous. "Oh umm yeah I know I uhh I umm" she frowned "one of you come up every now and again" I looked over nervously "o one of me what do you mean" she looked at me in disgust "a hobo" my heart sunk I haven't been called that in a while. She left the room and I put my cloths on and snuck out. I was still in pain but I'll live. I walked out the hospital cautiously and managed to make my way back to the school. Their was a crowd of people which I usually tried to ignore but my curiosity got the better of me. I walked to the back of the crowd and saw smoke rising near the school. Maybe it's the canteen. I walked around a bit more where there weren't many people. I still couldn't see. I lost interest so I walked off towards my building there was a burning smell in the air. I saw Mrs thirlwall talking to a police officer who had cordoned off the corner of the street. "Miss what's going on" I said and she hugged me "I thought you were dead" she said and I was confused to say the least. "Why would you think that" I laughed a little and she looked at me nervous. "What?" I said as a fireman moved passed me. "Perrie your building it's well on fire" my heart shattered and my bottom lip shook. I ducked under the police tape and ran towards my building a police woman grabbed me. "You need to step back miss" I shook my head "I live here I need my picture I don't care about anything else I want my picture" I was crying now still struggling to get in. "Everything perished in the fire miss I'm sorry we can take a statement off you soon ok just go back behind the tape" I cried and fell to the floor my body was paralysed. 2 arms hooked around Mine and carried me behind the tape again. I didn't care who it was all I cared about was my life collapsing in front of me. Literally. I cried on the floor still. Everything was going wrong. "Miss we've arrested two people on suspicion of starting the fire" my anger only grew "who" I was out for blood. I looked over at the police car and saw jed sat there with a smirk on his face. And one person I wasn't expecting. Jade. She sat there next to him and was just looking at the floor. "Are you serious them too" I shouted at the officer and she nodded. "Do you know who these people are miss" she said opening her notebook. I looked over "jed Elliot" she wrote it down. "And the girl?" She said pen hovering above the paper. I looked at jade and saw a tear escape her eye "Umm I uhh I don't know her" she nodded and put jed in the car and a officer led jade past the tape to here mum. Miss thirwall was shouting at jade but I just felt numb. I walked past the tape as the crowd had mostly gone now and walked into my building. The structure was still there, just about. I looked at the floor which was now black with ash. My own home burned down to the floor. This was my life since I was 12 that's 4 years that I've been here and it's gone along with the few things I owned. My family picture that was the only thing I could remember them by now it's gone. I felt disconnected.

Jades POV:
I walked up behind perrie I felt nervous for the first time in a while she was just stood there looking at the floor. I tapped her shoulder "what do you want" she said leaning against the door of her building. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry I never meant to hurt you this bad I tried to stop him and there's a spare room if you wanted it" she shook her head and sniffed "I don't care if you didn't mean it jade you don't care about people like me I'm a no one ok I'm not like you I don't have money or a house or a family or friends I'm just the girl who you and your friends bullied for all your life do you know how hard it was for me jade loosing my family and then you and jed pushing me around all day" she was crying by this point I felt sympathy for her and a lump of guilt built up in the back of my throat. "Just go" she said and walked away
