"I'm here now. I'm here to patch you back up until you're good as new. And love you until you forget what that hurt feels like."
For a long time, Jade Thirlwall had been plagued by the trauma of her childhood. Which led her into even more trauma in...
Hey there cuties! I hope this chapter finds you well and not sitting with your families or next to grandma... There may be a tiny itty bitty smidge 🤏🏾 of smut in here.... just a tiny bit 😉
Perrie's POV
I worried that Jade's behavior the previous night might have just been temporary, and that things would soon go back to how they were. But the next morning, I was pleasantly surprised.
When I went upstairs to get Jaden ready for school, I found Jade already awake, sitting in bed with her laptop open.
She looked absolutely adorable in her glasses, her hair a little messy from sleep. The sound of me coming in made her glance up over the frames, and as soon as our eyes met, she quickly closed the laptop.
Without a word, she set her laptop aside, slid out from under the covers, crawled to the edge of the bed, and held her arms out to me. The gesture left me speechless, my heart swelling as I stared at her.

"Good morning, ocean eyes!" She smiled as she held her arms out for me.
My feet walked toward her before my brain even knew it.
"What are you doing up so early? You're never up this early. Oh no, are you sick?" I asked, dramatically feeling her cheeks and forehead for fever.
She swatted my hand away and laughed. "I'll have you know, I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm going to get up early, just like you."
"You can't just decide not to be a zombie anymore." I said, poking her in the nose, and causing her to scrunch her face up.
She rolled her eyes. "Wanna bet?"
I raised a brow at her. "Seriously?"
"I'm serious, blondie." She said.
She pulled her glasses down a bit and looked at me over them, for no reason other than to make me hot.
"How though? You two sleep like the dead." I replied. I was genuinely curious as to how she planned on doing this.
"Jaden actually does sleep like the dead, but I don't sleep as hard as you think I do." She smiled.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I raised my brow.
"Are you going to bet me first, or no? I can think of a few things I'd like when I win." She said, looking me up and down, and making me blush.
Yeah, my Jade was definitely back.
I put my hand on my hip. "Fine, let's bet. What are we betting?"
"To be determined. Just know you owe me when I win, and if you just so happen to win, I owe you." She smirked.
"I can deal with that. Shake on it?" I said, extending my hand to her to shake.
She grabbed my arm and pulled me close to her while she was still on her knees in bed.
