Perrie would rather be dead.
"This is so exciting. We have all the lights and the trees and the people and the- it's so fun I cannot contain it!" Marie was obviously travelling in the same car as she was because why not? They were always paired with her and Anika so they were here once again.
Anika was shaking her head at her phone. She sat next to Marie across from Perrie and Leigh-Anne. They were on their way to the event. "We're going to meet you guys in like ten minutes. Why are you facetiming us?"
"Because it's fun. We should all facetime so it can feel like we're travelling on the same bus. Woo!" Valeria, the model from Spain, was on Anika's screen with Rana and Niko. They were all giggling.
Anika just . . . "But we'll see you in-"
"Hi guys!" Leigh was next to Perrie but she waved her hand in front of the screen.
"Hi Leigh-Anne!" they said before giggling.
Marie grinned at them from Anika's side. "You girls look so beautiful. I can't wait to see you in full lighting!"
"We saw each other at the hotel!" Anika could not with these girls. "Why are you-"
"Anika is so excited. Look at her face." Marie pointed at her and they all barked a laugh. "Perrie too."
Perrie growled. "You people are the most annoying people on earth."
"There's that Perrie love." Rana said from the phone. They laughed once more.
Leigh-Anne had learned to laugh along with everyone when Perrie acted grumpy. "Pez you know you're-"
"Who what? A nickname pour moi???" Perrie was in Leigh-Anne.
"Ah!" Leigh-Anne giggled because Perrie wrapped up her legs in hers. "You're messing up my dress."
Perrie appeared in her lap. "So you're giving me nicknames now eh?" She stroked Leigh's hair. "The braids are just lovely."
"Thanks. They took forever to get done but I like the way they look. Now people can't tell me and Marcy apart." Leigh-Anne smiled before yawning. "Guys I don't even know what day it i-"
"I'll tell you." Perrie had noticed her looking to the two others so she put her face in Leigh's line of sight. She's been so busy I've been deprived of my girl! I've been deprived of my girl! They've deprived me of my girl. She thought it in the same way that the popular 'I've abandoned my child' scene was said.
"What is everyone on tonight?" Anika was suddenly aware of Marie's arm in hers.
"We missed each other!" Marie rubbed her face against Anika's. "I love you."
"Um . . ." Anika's cheeks warmed. "I love you too but I think you're all just exhausted."
"And the work hasn't even started yet." Perrie was so mad at her mother. "Did yous see the schedule? When? When will we sleep? It's just thing after thing after thing and-and stuff just keeps adding up." She was so mad. "How long will we even stay in America?"
"We have to start recording for the show, we have photoshoots and appearances at events, singings and . . . Christmas break and that's all for December." Anika saw Valeria and the other girls giggling. "I'm hanging up." She waved and they waved back. "The hectic stuff doesn't start until January."
"Yeah since we'll be doing a f*cking world tour." Perrie said crossly. She was rubbing Leigh's arms.
"Aww. We're not gonna see our friends in a long time Perrie." Leigh-Anne pouted.
"Yeah but they'll be fine . . . I hope they'll be." Perrie did not trust Jesy. "At least we'll be with each other right?" She smiled at the girl.
"Except for when I'll be shooting for the movie and such but more or less we'll be with each other. It's gonna be like a really long sleepover." Leigh-Anne kept giggling. Perrie had said she was delirious.
