One last time.

I gaze at my watch, my heart thumping faster as the minutes go by. I pull my phone out and open the camera, checking my looks for the twentieth time in three minutes.

It's been quite a while since I've seen Jade. Well that's a lie, we see each other almost every day but what I mean is the first time having a conversation or simply just holding eye contact with one another in a while.

"Hey." The brunette says dropping into the booth in front of me.

"Hi." I smile instantly hearing her voice for the first time in a while. "How have you been?"

"It's been stressful, all this work, but apart from that I can't deny it's been easier." She replies, my heart dropping.

"Easier? What do you mean?" I ask.

"I guess I just haven't had to worry about much apart from the obvious. How've you been?" She asks.

"I haven't stopped thinking about you." I blurt out.

It's true, I haven't. The girl is the first girl that I've ever properly loved. I just wish I told her back then, told her when I had the chance because maybe things would've been different.

"Really?" She questions.

"I promise, you're all I've thought about." I reply.

"What about-" She begins.

I cut her off knowing who she means. "I don't actually feel anything towards her. Certainly not anything I feel towards you because Jade Thirlwall, I love you."

Her eyes widen. It's almost like that's all she's been waiting for. "You do?"

"Yes. No more fucking around Jade, I am in love with you. If this situation was easier I'd have told you this time ago but now, it could be easier for us. I miss you."

"That's a lot to take in." She replies, looking down slightly.

"I know and I'm sorry it's all so sudden but I just want another shot at us, at this. I understand you probably don't trust me anymore or even think of me anymore but your the only one I want." I reassure.

"Perrie listen...I'll always love you, you know that. I just worry about it all because we both know what happens every time we do this."

"I appreciate that and I do know, but one last time wont hurt. If we both stick to our promises to each other then maybe we can make this work." I take her hand in mine.

"How could I ever say no to you." Jade smiles, caressing my hand with her thumb.

I smile, my smile not fading. This is the feeling that I've been searching for my whole life, I'd never fallen before but now I have. After all the failed attempts of Jade and Perrie I believe this is it. We can make this work, we will make this work.

I believe we can do it, just give me the chance.
