Jade's POV:

Perrie and I are sitting on my couch in my living room and we're silently scrolling through Instagram. I look at my own profile and I see the photos with my ex boyfriend Jed. Together in Greece or Thailand on holiday and how we were kissing at the Brit awards 2019. Even though we broke up because of our long distance relationship I still think about him sometimes. I can't even bring myself to delete the photos with him. It would hurt too much. Of course I don't tell the girls how I'm feeling about him, they would only worry and I can't handle to talk about it. The break up wasn't entirely amicable but I want everyone to believe that. I don't want to seem hurt or heart-broken in public or even in front of my friends. It reminded me of Perrie's break up with Zayn and how horrible it felt for her to go through this whole situation publicly. 

Flashback

Jade's POV:

Perrie was inconsolable, tears streaming down her face that didn't seem to stop. I could hear her whimper and she started shaking uncontrollably. We were at the airport and she just showed us the text on her phone before she broke down. Jesy, Leigh and I were shocked and looked at each other because we weren't sure what to do now since we have never seen Perrie in such a sad state. We decided to give her a group hug to shield her from other people's looks. She held onto to me and I hugged her and kissed her on the forehead to comfort her. Jesy said: "Perrie, I'm so sorry, I don't know what to say, do you want to go home?" As Perrie managed to speak, she said "We have to go on the plane and I don't want to let you guys down. Also, I have you with me. Just give me a minute and I will freshen up on the toilet and put some shades on. I must look terrible."We waited for her and we spend the flight in silence while I was holding Perrie's hand. Later at the hotel I took her to my room so she wasn't by herself. She seemed so sad that the girls and I decided to be with her in shifts. As soon as she sat down on the bed she started to cry again. I quickly scooted closer to her and wrap her in my arms. Her body was so tense and she couldn't even speak. "It's ok, babe, I got you. Just let it out. I'm there and I won't leave you alone" I whispered in a calming tone. I held her until she was to exhausted to keep her eyes open so I tucked her into bed and put my arms around her waist hoping she would feel a bit better in the morning.

End of flashback.

Perrie's POV:

I got a notification on my phone and I was in shock as I read the headline: Struts bassist and Little Mix Jade's Ex Jed Elliott is engaged to girlfriend Ginny Gardner! I felt anger and fear of how Jade might react to this news. Even though she said she split with him amicably I don't believe her because I have seen this sad look in her eyes. I didn't want to push her and of course I comforted her a couple of times but she never really admitted her feelings. "Jade, I asked, can I tell you something? I just need your attention please" I said. "Yes, what is it?" Jade looked confused as she perceived Perrie's weird undertone and soft voice. "Baba, I just wanted to tell you that I read that Jed is engaged to his girlfriend" I said slowly. I looked intensively at Jade so that I won't miss any emotion that she might show. "I don't care" she said blatantly and sighed. But she doesn't really meet my eyes. I suggest that I might order take out and we could watch a Disney film since Alex is not here tonight and I didn't want to leave her alone even though she doesn't seem to care. I can't shake the feeling that she isn't as careless as she said. Jade agrees so we order Chinese and sit on the couch to watch Bambi which is one of Jade's favourites.


Jade's POV: 

I was so shocked about what Perrie said about Jed. I try to smile for Perrie but it got stuck as tears filled my eyes. Fortunately, I'm able to suppress them but I'm not sure for how long I can manage that. The truth is I still love him, that's why I don't delete our couple photos on my instagram. I look away but Perrie has always been attentive so she decides to sit right next to me and takes my hand, interlocking our fingers. "It's ok, Perrie. I knew he would find someone else in no time". My voice cracks a bit at the end of the sentence even though I try to sound confident. She puts the blanket around us and I focus on the film again. I feel myself drifting off to sleep because it feels so warm and safe to be in Perrie's arms. Perrin's  POV:It's so hard to see Jade like that. She never opens up easily which is the reason why I'm really protective over her. I simply don't want to see her hurt. She's asleep so I decide to carry her to my bedroom just in case she wakes up and needs someone. Even though she is a lightweight I stumble a bit but she doesn't stir once in my arms. I put her to bed before I go to the bathroom to get changed. When I return to the bedroom she is still sleeping soundly while I am starring at her beautiful features. Then I climb into bed and pull her close. In the middle of the night I wake up suddenly. At first, I'm just confused before I realise the sound of a sobbing Jade next to me. Oh no, I think to myself. "Jade, babe, what's wrong?" I ask. She can't answer me because she just can't stop crying and her breathing becomes heavier. "Baby girl, please tell me what's wrong. I just want to help you" I said while immediately pulling her into a tight hug. Then my gaze turns to the display of her phone. It shows the chat with Jed. Apparently she just isn't over him and I could almost feel how heartbroken she must be right now as I look at the text messages. Jed: Jade, I hope you haven't read it on the news yet but I want to tell that I'm engaged to my girlfriend Ginny. You will always mean a lot to me even as a friend. Jade hasn't replied to the message yet. She starts shaking in my arms while I'm trying desperately to soothe her by stroking her hair and giving her occasionally kisses on her head. "P-P-Perrie, I still love Jed and I miss him so much" she manages to bring out in between sobs. "Oh Jade, sweetheart, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how you must feel right now. Just let it out, I'm always there for you" I try to calm her down. She relaxes a little in my embrace so I slowly caress her face, wiping her tears away. I wish I could put her heart back together. Jed must be an idiot to leave her so heartbroken. As if Ginny could compare to Jade. I let her cry on my chest while I'm rubbing her back. „It will all come together. I promise you that you will get better. Until then I won't leave your side" I say gently. „Do you think Jed and I could get back together? We broke up because he is always in the states but may be it was wrong and we should give it another try? I can't even look at the photos of us together, it just breaks my heart over and over again" she says with a shaky voice. 

What will Perrie say?
