Leigh-Anne had convinced Marcy to let her at least come along with Sairah on the day of the deep dive interview. Sairah and Chris came to a compromise as to how it would be done. Sairah may not have been able to get Leigh to appear on camera with her but she could still show up herself. The session had already been booked so it made no sense to cancel.

Marcy saw Leigh's insistence on following Sairah as another form of distraction from resting but Leigh just wanted to support. After turning down Hoseok over text, she felt guilty. He agreed to schedule the shooting of his video for after her vacation but Leigh was not sure if she would even be able to function on set. I know I asked Perrie to tell me what Jade and Ray Ray were saying but hearing it made me feel bad. Just for that, she'd added a new potential song to her list. It was called 'Difficult' and would be from the perspective of those two and how they viewed her.

She sat in the passenger seat of her sister's car on their way to Jade's house. Jade would not be featured in this interview but would come for support as well. A good girlfriend. Leigh thought as they slowed down next to the apartment complex. Three days had passed since Perrie had told her what Jade said.

Sairah had a lollipop in her mouth and sunglasses over her eyes. Faint Dancehall music played on her radio.

Leigh-Anne stared quietly at her. She looks like a superstar. Her sister wore a leather jacket over a white top, acid jeans and black combat boots. Her hair was in wild curls around her head. Do I look like that to people? Leigh doubted it. She'd been called a 'super star' several times while in 'the spotlight'. Many glamorous titles had been assigned but to her between the two of them, her sister was the more deserving of that title. Even if we dress similarly she just outshines me. Leigh wore a leather jacket too. She had pulled it on over her outfit after seeing what Sairah wore. Her curls were not as noticeable as her sister's. They were 'tame' in comparison.

Jade came to the passenger side but looked in before opening the door. "Oh hi Leigh."

Leigh-Anne waved.

"You're gonna have to sit in the back." Sairah said.

It just occurred to Leigh that she was encroaching on Jade's place next to Sairah. "I can move if you want."

"It's fine love. Stay where you are." Jade hopped into the back no problem. She too wore leather. "Was this planned?" She tugged at her jacket.

Sairah looked back. "Ha." She said dryly before driving.

Jade put on her seatbelt. "What time are you expected to be there?"

"Eleven a.m but I came early 'cause it's far. London's like an hour away." Sairah turned onto the road.

Leigh was impressed by her skill and confidence behind the wheel every time she drove with her. "Do you ever get nervous when you drive Sairah?"

Sairah was chewing gum. "No. Why would I?"

"Every time we get on the road there's a high risk that something could happen. Not to freak you out or anything." Jade peered out the window. They were moving moderately.

Sairah didn't say anything.

Leigh-Anne kept looking at her. "How did you do on your test again?"

"I did well enough to get a license I guess."

"Perfect score." Jade specified. "Didn't you tell Leigh?"

"I should have guessed." Leigh-Anne's mind was on the results for her exams. They would be out in August. Not too far off now. "I'd like to drive some day too. There's this level of freedom that comes with it won't you agree?"
