"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask Jade. I'm not sure what she's upset about or why she's here, but I know there's something wrong and it must be pretty bad if she'd down like this.

She shakes her tiny head and sniffles. "I'll be fine, maybe." she nearly whispers. "Can I stay here until I can find out where I should go?"

"Here? What about Harry's?"

"Please, Pez?" she dodges my question so I just nod. 

"Of course you can stay here, Jade. Here, I'll find a room for you." I tell her and we walk hand-in-hand down the hallway.

"Where's Trisha, Doniya, Waliyha, and Safaa?" Jade curiously asks.

"Zayn bought them a place just down the street. Candy lives there with them too so she can look after them." I explain to her.

She nods and we continue down the hallway. I stop at a door and I open it to make sure it's a bedroom. I still haven't completely navigated my way around Zayn's mansion yet but it's more fun that way. It's like exploring a castle or something.

"Here you go." I usher her into the room and she hesitantly walks in.

"Thank you." is all she says before she literally goes into hibernation for days.

"I just don't know what could be wrong with her. It definitely has something to do with Harry because what else would cause her to move out of there?" Flower tells me as she pours some more water into her glass.

I place my hand over hers and she looks into my eyes. "We'll figure it out, babe. And anyways, Jade's strong; she'll get through this."

Flower takes another sip of her water and sets it down on the counter. "That's just the thing, Zayn; Jade is strong. Something horrible must've happened to get her to shut down like this and I'm afraid to find out what that could be."

I lean forward and she closes her eyes when I kiss her forehead. I rest my forehead against hers and say, "Don't worry, love. I'll figure it out, okay? I don't want you to be under any stress. It's not good for you or her." I poke her belly and she lets out a giggle, my favorite sound.

"Thanks, Zayn." she half-smiles. "But I just need to know what's going on with her! It's literally killing me not to know! It's been almost two weeks since she left Harry's and came here. The first six days, she literally said nothing. Then the next four days, she just looked horrible. She told me she felt sick and she surely looked like it too. And the past two days, she's done nothing but watched romantic movies like The Notebook and Titanic."

I look down and chuckle a little. "Those are Harry's favorite movies."

"Really? He doesn't like something a little more manlier?" she asks in shock from this new fact about Mr. Harry Styles.

I shake my head in laughter. "He's always been a softie."

"He's good at acting like a dickhead though." she points out and we laugh together. 

I focus on drawing circles on her open palm and say, "I haven't seen Jade yet today. Have you?"

She shakes her head. "I figured she'd call me if she needs me. I don't want to annoy her. Anything will set her off."

"How many days has she been here?" I ask.

She takes a minute to count and then concludes, "Today would be day thirteen."
