The Fifth Member (Little Mix/Perrie Edwards gxg) Part 2

Chapter 6

Beth's POV:

"Smash it." Our tour manager said before we went out on stage.

Today was our first concert after our two week break. After I got out we worked some more on the album. It's forming but still needs loads of work. And loads of songs.

I've had my appointment and I settled with this therapist. She was nice and listened. Not urging me to repeat my words. Like the last one. Fucking twat.

To be honest her ways were quite helpful... but I'm a piece of work.

Since I won't have the time to come around every time her and I settled on having 1 hour online sessions.

"Hold up no you didn't bow bow," Perrie started singing.

I love this part of the song. And especially Perrie's voice in it.

We carried on performing and everything went fine.

In the dressing room we all just sat there not being in the mood to change yet.

One of our stylists came in. Her name is Ellie. She's nice and always is extra patient. Just like most of our team she is one of our friends.

"Hey girls." She said sitting down next to me.

"Hey El." We said back.

She was really close to me but I didn't think too much of it.

They all started chattering about whatever. I didn't really listen being quite tired.

"Great performance Beth." Ellie said to me. The girls were talking about something so she started a conversation with me.

"Thanks Ellie." I said simply.

"But you had something on your mind." She observed.

I innerly laughed. I always have.

"Nah. I was completely focused on the performance." I denied.

"I disagree." She smirked, "But I don't expect you to tell me."

"Good on you then." I smiled. Most people wouldn't leave me alone.

"Out of all of you, you are definitely still the most closed. I'm not gonna lie or act, I know about your past, but yet, you are still so unpredictable. No one ever knows if you really like them, what you really think. Except for the girls. Everyone knows you love them." She said.

"Maybe that's the image I want." I hummed.

"Oh I'm not saying it's bad. It makes you attractive." She smirked.

She's a good friend. I don't wanna be mean. She doesn't know about me and Perrie. She probably doesn't mean it like that right?

"Wow then I gotta for sure keep it up." I smirked back.

Now that I got more aware of her actions I noticed she was quite close to me. Maybe a bit closer than appropriate.

I looked around and noticed the girls were still talking but Jade looked subtly to us.

She tried to look away before I could catch her, but I know what she's thinking.

Perrie would be heartbroken again if she saw this.

I stood up and announced awkwardly, "I'm gonna shower."

Ellie smirked. She probably thought she flustered me, but no, I just wanted to avoid hurting Perrie again.

Ellie stood up as well, bidding her goodbyes to the girls and following me out of the room.

"What? Did I make you flustered?" She chuckled.

She didn't make me uncomfortable nor flustered, I just didn't want Perrie to see her doing these things.

"No. I just wanted to shower." I chuckled as well.

"Can I join?" She asked so serious I thought she meant it.

I looked at her dumbfounded and she burst out laughing, "Chill out bubs. If anything I'd treat you for a coffee first." She winked and left me to it after we reached the room with the shower.

Why do I feel like I'm doing something wrong?

**************

Perrie's POV:

"Yeah she was so cute did you see her sign?" I gushed talking about one of our younger fans.

Suddenly Beth stood up making us all look at her.

"I'm gonna go shower." She announced. We all nodded and she left.

Shortly after Ellie also said her goodbyes and left.

We continued talking. Jade was a bit zoned out though.

"What's up Jeed?" I asked.

She snapped out of it and looked to me.

"Oh nothing... I-uh I just thought about seeing Karl, Amara and Leoni soon." She said.

I hummed and we went back to talking about our fans.

Beth and I have come to terms with the fact that we can't be together right now... but that doesn't mean that there aren't moments we stare at each other for too long.

I usually am not patient, but in this case I'd wait a thousand years.

Beth came back after about 20 minutes and Jade stood up to go shower next.

Beth sat down next to Leigh who immediately hugged her.

"What's up?" Beth chuckled hugging her back.

"I just love you." Leigh said.

"Love you too." Beth said chuckling.

"Imma vomit." Jesy said in an American accent.

"Sod off." Leigh said.

"Yeah let them have their cute moment." I said.

Again we had our little banter and soon enough Jade came back and I went to go shower.

While walking I accidentally overheard Ellie and Kat, our stylists talking.

"Are you serious?" Kat chuckled.

"Don't laugh! I'm into her but she doesn't seem all that into me." Ellie said sadly.

"Oh come on! She'll come around for sure. She is just hard to read, I mean I still don't know if she actually likes me." Kat said jokingly.

"No she's different. But a good different. She's special." Ellie said.

Jeez... I wonder who they are talking about.

"And smoking hot." Kat added.

"Yeah... that too." Ellie said and by the tone of her voice she must be blushing right now.

"Aw you're too cute. I ship it now. I'm gonna be your wingwoman." Kat said.

"Please don't be. I don't want this to be like my other relationships. She might be the one I would seriously settle for." Ellie said.

"But you do know that she's hard to deal with?" Kat asked.

"Don't say that!" Ellie said immediately defensively.

I snapped out of my trance and immediately scolded myself. Eavesdropping isn't a good thing. I continued my way to the shower and minded my business again.

Aw... I hope Ellie is able to get with whoever she liked. She talked very cutely about her.

I just wonder who the girl could be.
