Falling For Perrie Edwards

Chapter 6

Bethany's P.O.V

I pulled up to my house in shock. First I get into deep trouble...then Perrie comes to my rescue...doesnt she hate me?

"Oh! I see you have my jacket." Perrie finally noticed that she's been sitting on her jacket the whole time and it made me laugh quietly.

"Yeah...I was going to give it to you today..." I begin to explain but Perrie interrupts,

"Why didn't you..."

I freeze up. "I uhm...I didn't want to interrupt you...I thought you would've only liked to talk to me outside of school..."

She's silent for a few seconds, "Bethany why would you think that?" she asks, her voice soft.

"W-Well, I didn't want to like...ruin your reputation or something." I started fiddling with my fingers.

She looked at me in disbelief, "Bethany...you should've given my jacket to me...if anyone would've tried anything, I would've defended you."

Her words shocked me and I looked at her and blinked, having nothing to say to that.

"O-Okay..."

She smiled at me, "so what do you want to do?"

"I d-don't know...do you want to watch a film?"

Her face lit up, "Can we watch The Other Woman?!?"

"What's that?"

"It's the best film ever! And I actually have it in my bag!"

I giggle as she runs to her bag and digs through it, pulling out The Other Woman.

"We can watch it in my room?" I offer.

She looked so genuinely excited that we were about to watch her movie and she flew into my room so fast that I laughed at her reaction.

She was so damn cute.

Halfway through the movie I noticed Perrie tearing up...but this movie wasn't even sad...it was hilarious.

She sniffled once and all my attention diverted to her, "Perrie...are you okay?"

She wipes her eyes quickly, "n-nothing! It was just so funny that...I started to cry a little...you know when you laugh too mu-"

"Perrie, I know something is wrong. You can talk to me..." I interrupt her.

She looks at me and a tear falls down her cheek, "I was just thinking about all I've done you...I've hurt you physically and mentally...I've seen the scars and cuts on your wrists, you may have thought I didn't...but I did..." she started hiccuping and I sat there stunned that she's found out about my self harming, my thoughts are interrupted when she continues, "and I'm sorry for doing all this to you, Bethany...I was just jealous from day one and I didn't want to admit it...I just wanted to beat you up and bully you because you had everything I didn't. I'm just so sorry Bethany..."

"Perrie...I-I had no idea you were that jealous of me. I just don't know what to say...other than the fact that you had nothing to be jealous of."

She stares at me. "Are you kidding me, Beth? You have the perfect family. You have the perfect hair to...while mines all dead and gross. You have really gorgeous features and a good pair of lips...and a good...."

I flinch when she said I have good lips.

"A good what else...?"

"B-Body..."

I swear that my jaw drops.
I stare at her gobsmacked, and that's when I noticed how beautiful she truly is, even with her makeup smeared everywhere. Without thinking, I raise my hand to her face to wipe some mascara off...and that's when she leans in slowly, closing her eyes and I rip my hand away from her face in shock.

Her eyes widen, "Oh my god Bethany...you were j-just wiping some of m-my makeup off! I didn't know!! I don't know what I just did!! I'm so sor-"

I stop Perrie from rambling when I grab her cheeks, pulling her towards me and pressing my lips softly to hers.

I'm kissing her...

I pull away slowly and she stares at me in shock.

"I-I don't know what to think...how could you do that when all I've ever done was be rude to you?" Perrie asks breathlessly.

"When I met you on Hipsters...and started talking to you. I just felt a really weird connection. I thought for sure I was straight..." I mumble.

"So did I."

"Well...w-what are we?" I fiddle with my thumbs.

"I really like you, Bethany. And if we start dating...we can't tell tell anyone at school...or our parents..."

"You want to date me?!" I stare wide-eyed at her.

She blushes, "I mean...if you want to. I don't want to force you into a relationship with me.."

"No, I want to..."

She smiles brightly, "So it's official? We're girlfriend and girlfriend?"

"Yes."

I lean in and kiss her once more and then she gets up and leaves reluctantly.

I really do love this girl...
