A/N so I'm going to double update because I'm bored and have no reason not to.

Jesy's POV

As Perrie smiled and walked back towards Jade, I sighed and thought about how I would get Leigh to let go of me. I didn't want to unsettle her seeing as it took almost half an hour to get her this way. I grabbed a pillow and slid it in between us. Then I grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her. As I pulled her back a little, she gripped the pillow tighter in her arms. I smiled at the fact that my plan had worked. Grabbing another pillow, I laid her down completely and went to join Jade and Perrie.

TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY DRUNK JESY

Jade's POV

We had just finished our castle and Jesy went to go make dinner. I was gathering all the snacks and wrappers we had scattered on the floor when Perrie nudged me with her foot seeing as she was laying on the floor. I turned around to see her giggling slightly with a mischievous glint in her baby blue eyes.

I tilted my head to ask what she was thinking about and the answer had me hesitant. "We should prank Leigh-Anne while she's asleep." , she said cheerfully. I look back to where Leigh-Anne is on the couch and take in her facial expression. She seemed relax and I know that these days she's always super tired. " I don't think so Pez, Leigh hasn't been feeling well. We should let her get some rest."' I say quietly. Perrie looks at me and rolls her eyes and standing up and going to Leigh anyway.

I whisper yelled at her to stop but she ignored me and just proceeded to push Leigh-Anne off of the couch. Usually we would all share a laugh about something like this but with Leigh-Anne being sick I didn't know if it was ok. Leigh-Anne immediately shoots up and looks around with a dazed look on her face. As she looks around, it looks like she's looking for a certain thing.

She whispers out a quiet questioning "Jesy?", before looking down, curling up and leaning against the couch. She looked over to me and I opened my arms for a hug. She crawled over to me and basically wrapped herself around my body, buried her head into my neck and started slowly rocked us back and forth.

Jesy's POV

I'm in the kitchen finishing putting together the snacks for our movie night when I hear a small thud and Perrie laughing. I walk back into the lounge to see Perrie laughing in the middle of the floor holding her stomach, Jade tucked under Leigh-Anne and Leigh-Anne holding onto her staring blankly at the wall in front of her. I drew attention to myself by clearing my throat. Perrie looked like a deer caught in head lights while Jade just gave a shy smile. Leigh-Anne didn't even blink, she just continued mouthing something and staring at the wall. "What's happened here?", I question more towards Perrie. Perrie swallows and answers with, " Leigh here fell off the couch while she was sleeping. Isn't that right Jade?". I look at Jade because I know she wouldn't lie to me.

She looks between Perrie and I before replying. "No it's not. Perrie got bored and wanted to prank Leigh but I didn't know if it'd be ok since she's sick and I tried to tell Perrie to stop but she didn't listen and pushed her anyway. So when she fell Leigh had woken up and I guessed looked for you? Then she realized you weren't here so she curled up to me and here we are now.", she rambled slightly panting by the end of it.

My eyes widened for a second at thought of Leigh-Anne waking up without me. Looking closer at her I notice her slightly mouthing the words hate and Jesy. I couldn't read what else she was saying but I was pretty sure I knew what she was saying and got upset with myself. I shouldn't have left her,with Perrie in such a mischievous mood and Jade not being able to know what's going on, it was a disaster waiting to happen. I slightly shake Leigh on Jade's shoulder to snap her out of it. Perrie was quick to come up with an explanation, " It was only meant to be a joke I swear! Leigh's my baby I'd never hurt her on purpose.".

Leigh snapped her head up and looked at me. I crouched down and smiled at her. She look at me then back at Jade, then she swung them backwards suddenly, making Jade fall into me. We were slightly laying on top of each other with Leigh sandwiched between us. Perrie saw the cuddle pile and said,
" Yay cuddles!". She ran over to us and softly plopped herself into the pile. Leigh let out a "oofmp" from being landed on.

Perrie's POV

I had just jumped on top of a cuddle pile that Leigh had started. I guess I had landed on her a bit too hard. "God that hurt like a bitch.", she muttered. I gave her a sympathetic smile. She gave a small on back, and we just all laid there. I missed doing this. All of us being together being our weird selves. We were laying like this for about another ten minutes before there's a knock at the door. Since Jesy didn't feel like getting up, she pulled out her phone and checked the house cameras. It was our pack of just as weird as us dancers, they come over regularly for our movie nights. Jesy unlocked the door from her phone and went back to cuddling. Most of the dancers were there but I noticed some of them were missing.

Claude(I think that's how you spell it) walked in first leading the others who were confused from not seeing us. We could see all of them from where we were. We were kind of slightly behind the couch. Some how we maneuvered ourselves back here. The dancers came towards the lounge and continue to look for us. Some of them ventured into the kitchen to look when I heard them rustling into the snacks.

Leigh's POV( ok last POV change)

The girls and I were watching the dancers try to find us from our cuddle pile. Perrie had landed on my stomach particularly hard when she first jumped on me so it still was a little sore. Jesy was silently snickering while Jade was doing her signature laugh where she smiles super wide and hits the person closest to her which happens to be a giggling Perrie while I was letting out the occasional chuckle. As the dancers migrated to the back yard I had an idea. "We should sit on the floor and make it seem like we've been there the whole time.", I say in a whisper. The girls all look at me in agreement and we hop over the back of the couch and roll down on to the floor as quietly as possible. We pretended to be reading books and magazine's that we have on the table and wait for them to come in.

As the dancers walk back into the lounge they notice us on the floor. " Were you guys there the whole time?", Jason asks confused. Claude the chimes in,
" Yeah we know you guys are small compared to us but it's like you weren't even there." We simply rolled our eyes since we're used to their short jokes. "Hey Leigh do you still have my hoodie that I let you borrow last week?", Randall asks. I nod my head and he goes up to my room to go grab it, by the time he's up the stairs I remember I left my writing book on my bed.

I immediately start to try and untangle myself from the girls to try and beat Randall to my room. All I hear is confused chatter around me as I dart up the stairs. Just as I get into my room Randall is just about to pick up my book, when I dive on to my bed and grab it. He jumps back obviously shocked at me seemingly coming out of nowhere.

I just smiled at him and took my book with me back to its secret hiding spot. I had just finished my daily entry for Jesy before the voices started talking. Jesy had gotten me this writing book so she could know how I'm feeling.
