Jesy's POV

As we walk back through the door, Luke lets out a sigh of relief before bringing Leigh into a tight hug. She jumps but hugs him back before gently pushing him off. "Oh thank god. The boys were getting suspicious, and what happened Leigh?", he questions. I look down to where he's pointing and gasp when I see the blue shirt she's wearing starts getting streaks of blood in it. "I cut my side on a table. He must've popped it open, I'll be fine.", she dismisses walking away. I roll my eyes and pull her into the hallway bathroom before locking the door. "What did you do?", I ask folding my arms. "I cut my side on a table, I'm fine Jesy.", she answers.

I pull her shirt up and point to the obviously self given injures. "You side looks like fish gills and you have the audacity to say you're fine? After everything that's happened today, you continue to lie to me. Why Leigh? Do you think I'll judge you, do you think you'll lose me? Because you won't.", I say softening my tone by the end. I hear small sniffles before pulling her into my arms gently making sure to avoid her sides. "I'm sorry. I just couldn't deal with the voices, they were so loud, one of them is him Jes. He came back to haunt me and the voice taunts me now. I thought the pain would take it away, and I did. So I kept going until I was light headed and couldn't think straight.", she says into my neck.

"It's ok. You thought it would help, and it's not your fault. But who is him? I can't help if you don't tell me babe.", I say stroking her cheek. "Jordan.", she whispers. "How do you know?", I question. "The voice told me. At Harry's house, the voice said something something he would say to me all the time. And I just-I just cried. I thought I got away from him but he did this to me, he made me hear voices. He took my sanity away from me.", she cries gripping my shirt. I let out a sigh and cradle her head before running a hand through her hair.

"Let me clean up your sides and we can go have a cuddle. How's that sound?", I suggest. "Can we skip the first part on go to the second?", she asks. "No. Now sit and let me get the stuff.", I answer. I quickly looking in the hallway closet for all the medical stuff before grabbing antiseptic, bandages, and a sugar cookie to help her with the light headed ness. "Alright eat this because of the blood loss, and take this stress ball to squeeze for when I put the antiseptic on.", I say. She pulls her shirt over her head and I grimace at the jagged cuts. "This is gonna burn so put your shirt in your mouth to muffle it.", I say handing it back to her. She bunches up the material and places it between her teeth before giving me a nod.

I take a nearby towel and pour the wound cleaner on it before putting it on her left side. She hisses in pain and clenches the counter making me pout for her in sympathy. "Is there any where else I should know about since I'm already here?", I question. I look up to meet her eyes and she quickly looks away and nods her head. "Show me so I can get it done.", I say softly stroking her arm. She pushes me back slightly and I move over to give her more spaces and she starts to unbuckle her pants. "This one is a little weirder so don't judge please.", she says. "I'd never judge you.", I say. She pushes her pants out of the way and I gasp seeing the letters written there.

"Are those my initials?", I question. "The voice made me do it and I just, I didn't know what to do.", she says flinching away. "What did the voice say?", I ask. "It told me that if I died, someone would be able to take you away from me. So I put your initials there to frame you. My emotionally distressed brain thought it made sense.", she shrugs. I chuckle at the explanation and rub her arm. "I put Jade and Pez's too. I didn't want you guys to replace me so I framed all of you.", she says looking down at her fingers. "Well I'm glad that you were thinking about us but you're irreplaceable. No one in this world is you. Even if you had an identical twin sister she wouldn't be Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Only one person is you.", I say tapping her nose.
