A/N: This is like a where's Waldo type of thing where Leigh, who is still delirious on her meds, slips away from the girls and Luke when they go shopping and they can't leave her with the boys because well, then they'd have to explain a lot. Also, let's pretend that I said it lasts for 24 hours.

Jesy's POV

We finally catch Leigh in the kitchen munching on food before I sigh. "We could use this to our advantage. I say we go shopping. Think about it, even though she loves fashion, she hates shopping with a passion, now it seems like she'll do whatever you want and I say you want to go shopping.", Perrie says placing her hands on my shoulders. "Aye, get your hands off m-my girl blondie. Oh is that a brownie?", Leigh says ducking under the sink."That sounds like a good idea.", Luke adds. I think about it before making my decision.

"Leigh get in the car, we're going shopping.", I call out walking away. She flies past me making me momentarily pause in my tracks, only to find her holding the door open. "You are just eating this up aren't you? She's going to kill you when she's back to normal.", I say to a snickering Perrie. "I honestly don't care. While we're at it, why don't we get her one of those toddler bags with the leash so we can keep track of 'er?", she suggest laughing. I look back to Leigh sticking her head out the window yelling at strangers. "Luke stop her. She's going to embarrass herself.", I say.

"That actually wouldn't be a bad idea. With how drugged up she is she has the mental state of a toddler.", Luke says as he grabs her making the car erupt in laughter. "Fine, I'm sure we'll find one in a store anyway.", I sigh deciding I won't win this argument with our youngest members.

LOCATION SWITCH: At the mall

Perrie's POV

Once we walk into the mall, we stay close together in case someone spots us. We didn't come with any security so we all make sure to keep Leigh out of sight. "I need some new boots. I'll catch up with you girls later.", Luke says walking into the shoe store. We walk some more before I spot one of the toddler bags. "Look I found one. And it's green, let's get it.", I say picking it up. "Are you sure this'll even fit her? She's not a child.", Jesy answers hesitant. "This is the biggest one they have, and if you extend the straps, presto it fits.", I say. We slip it on Leigh's back to test it, and it fits her perfectly.

"I guess we can get it. I've had to grab her seven times and we've been doing nothing but standing here.", Jesy answers taking it off. We walk to the register and pay for it, receiving strange looks from the cashier when we clip it on Leigh. "It's best if you don't question it.", I whisper to her. She nods her head and we leave the store. "Now that that's settled, it's your turn to watch Leigh while I look at more jewelry.", Jesy says passing the little leash thing into my hands and running away before I could object. I sigh and look back to Leigh to find her picking the leaves off the fake plants. "What are you doing? We could get in trouble.", I whisper to her.

"I'm picking flowers for Jade, she deserves some flowers.", she mumbles sounding out if it. I walk into a clothing shop dragging her behind me. "You sit here, I'm gonna go try these on.", I instruct sitting her on a bench.

Leigh's POV

Perrie goes to try on a pair of jeans she found and tells me to stay put, but this harness is itchy. I take it off and sit it on the bench with me when I get an idea. Why don't I return it back to the store, it's not like anyone in the house can use it. With that thought in mind, I ventured out of the store and start to return it. I take the moving staircase thingy back to the first level, and get distracted by something shiny. As I walk closer to it, I recognize it as the jewelry store. "Jesy went in the jewelry store, yay Jesy.", I say walking in. I move around the store maneuvering through people and glass cases trying to find Jesy. "Oh my gosh it is her. Hi can I get an autograph? I'm a huge fan.", a girl says coming up to me.
