Tune em Out

Chapter 16: Step two is on hold?

A/N: Alright let's get y'all a lil summery. Basically, if you've read the last chapter, you'll know Leigh came up with the idea that she needs to treat Jesy like the Joker treats Harley Quinn. Which is like more of a possession than a lover that she still has feelings for. So in this, they'll be doing interviews and Jesy will be giving her looks for permission to do stuff and Leigh will just be a little controlling. But that all gets put to the side when a little mix up happens and Leigh gets sick.

Jesy's POV

I wake up and groan knowing we have four interviews that are only half an hour apart each. I look over to find Leigh gone and guess that she's out on her run. After a few more minutes of mental preparation, I get ready for the day. Deciding to be somewhat comfortable, I put on a oversized shirt and some short covered by fishnets and my boots. "There's my wonderful gothic princess. How you feeling?", Leigh asks as she dries her hair. "Like sleep deprivation and death had a baby and named her Jesy.", I say. "Well did that very tired baby remember the plan?", she asks. "I don't see how I could forget when you made me stay up until 3am to memorize it?", I ask sarcastically. She hums and starts changing shoes. "How you feeling in there Jade?", she asks. Jade pops her head out from our closet and gives a thumbs up.

"I like my temporary home, it's cozy. Just bring me food and more snacks.", she says. She's been staying in our closet for the last few days to make it seem like she's missing. "I'll see if we can stop at the store when we're on our way back but I got you some biscuits and your laptop to keep you entertained. Here's some headphones and Disney movies.", I say handing them to her. She tears open the package and opens her laptop at the same time making me laugh. "Stay hidden, but you should have the house to yourself after about 1:30. Make sure though.", Leigh says shutting the door again.

"Breakfast is almost ready, all the children are up and dressed and ready for their days.", she says. "Look at you being responsible. How long did that take you? Especially Perrie, that girl is dead to the world in the morning.", I ask. "Well I rubbed a piece of bacon on her lips until she woke up. I almost lost my little finger but it was worth it.", she says. "Everyone else was easy. Mikey, Ash, and Cal even helped me cook. Now that I think about it, somethings wrong . They're being nice.", she says pausing her ministrations.

She walks out the room and I follow her into the hallway. "Everyone out here now.", she calls out. They all flood out of their rooms and she looks around. "Perrie what's the problem and why are you hiding it from me?", she asks. "How'd you know something was wrong? Who told you? Who snitched?", Perrie says sending question after question. "You just did. But first calm down. I'm not mad just tell me what happened.", she answers. I sit back amused at the situation and see how it plays out.

"Well there was a package that came here for you and I wanted to open it because I wanted to see what it was but I couldn't get it open because of my nails so I told Ash to get a chainsaw because I wasn't thinking so he sliced it right down the middle and when I looked inside, it was just shreds. So I told Luke, and he knew what was in the box but told me not to tell you because it was important but I needed to tell someone so one night I rushed into Calum's room but Mikey was there but I blurted it out anyway. Then I swore them to secrecy. I'm really sorry please don't be mad at me.", Perrie rambles.

"Pez I'm not mad. If it was what I think they were I could easy get those replaced or get new ones. You should've told me instead of carrying all that guilt and making yourself feel bad.", she says pulling her in a hug. I feel Reggie licking my leg and pick him up. "Well that was dramatic for no reason.", I say. "If there's more bacon, It's mine!", Perrie yells running down the stairs. "Don't touch my bacon until it's done right!", Leigh calls out after her. I laugh at their antics before walking down the stairs still holding on to Reggie.
