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

Chapter 44

Beth's POV:

"Noah I swear I will smack you in the head if you don't pick one already!" I exclaimed.

He sighed loudly, "Everything needs to be perfect and perfection takes time! Josie deserves nothing less." He said still looking between the two ties.

"I never said she deserves less, I would personally hunt you down if you don't treat her right, but it really isn't that difficult to choose a tie." I said rolling my eyes, "I don't get why you make your life so hard and choose everything separately. Why not buy a whole suit?" I asked confused.

"Because getting just a suit would be boring and I want to put my own spin in it. And you still haven't gotten your dress!" He exclaimed.

"Noah, your wedding is in three weeks and almost everything is settled because of your nervousness, could you please calm down a little." I said leaning back on the couch.

He sighed again and sat down next to me leaning back as well, "Just wait for your wedding one day, I'll make fun of you just as much for your anxiety." He said sulking.

"Plus, you're not even trying to help me match my suit together!" He added again standing up to pace.

I groaned and stood up, I'm glad the store is almost empty and people walking around here are just minding their business.

I picked out some stuff and then pushed them into Noah's hands and said, "Go try them on."

He raised an eyebrow but I pushed him into the changing room and sat down.

A few minutes later he came out again and looked at himself in the mirror.

I came to stand behind him and asked, "So?"

He turned around with a big smile, hugged me and spun me around.

"It's perfect! Why didn't you help me earlier?!" He asked annoyed.

I shrugged, "It's fun watching you panic. Now we just need to get it tailored to fit perfectly and you're good to go." I said.

He smiled and sighed of relief, "Good. Now your dress."

"Nuh uh, I'm getting that by myself. Don't need your panic to wash onto me." I said and he frowned.

"Forget it, I'm coming with you." He said and we walked to the cashier.

Noah paid and we left the store to go to another one where I'm pretty sure I'll find a suitable dress.

"Y'know... I haven't thanked you yet for helping me pay for some of those things. Weddings are pretty expensive." He said while we walked.

I looked at him and frowned, "You don't need to thank me. I'm your sister, of course I'll help you. It's not even a question. I mean if I already have the money anyway." I shrugged.

"Still, I promise I'll try to pay it back soon." He said seriously.

"You won't pay back a pound. Consider it an additional wedding present." I said and he smiled.

Before he could say anything else I said, "Let's go, the store is right there."

We entered and it took me overall an hour to find a dress that both me and Noah liked.

Noah started smiling and I asked, "What's up?".

He looked at me and started chuckling, "Remember how mom and dad always panicked whenever we were invited to a wedding? I almost always had to wear something of dad's because we couldn't get anything new and the clothes were always too big. Just like you and Ali had to take something old from mom. It's really crazy how things change. Now we even can say things like 'We'll get it tailored.' without sounding stupid."

I smiled slightly as well. My parents always apologised and promised us that for the next wedding we would get new clothes, they never could hold these promises, but none of us ever held it against them.

"I just wish I could give them everything back they did for me. I wish I could have gotten all of them something with my money." I said thoughtfully.

He sighed and said, "Look, even though what happened sucks, many great things happened because of that. If it wouldn't have happened you probably would have never gone to the X Factor and met the girls, became famous and gotten together with Perrie. And now I get to enjoy the perks of your success alone." he said ending his actually serious speech with a joke.

I laughed and asked, "You know what dad said to me before he died?"

He shook his head and I said, "He said that if I ever get with Perrie since I wasn't with her at the time, I should tell her that he rooted for us till the day he died. Both of you are actually pretty insensitive but somehow it still lifts the mood."

He chuckled and finally we left after I paid and let the tailor take our measurements. Then finally we made it to my car.

"Oh finally I can breathe. Everything is ready." Noah said happily.

I laughed and started the car, "Hopefully now you can at least sit without bouncing up and down the whole time."

*********

After I dropped Noah off I made my way home and parked in the driveway next to Perrie's car.

Things have been looking up slowly. We all meet regularly and slowly we are falling back into our old habits of being more touchy and cute with each other.

Me and Perrie are still slowly getting there but us and the other three are almost back to normal.

We have also had long talks about if we want to get back together as a band. All of us admitted to missing it, so when we rehearsed the song we will song at Noah's wedding it was almost certain that we will come back together as Little Mix.

I entered through the front door immediately greeted by Hatchi.

I found Perrie in the living room watching TV and when she saw me she smiled and stopped whatever was playing.

"Hey how was suit hunting with Noah?" She asked.

"Anxiety apparently runs in the family." I answered letting Hatchi down and joining her on the couch.

"That bad?" She asked chuckling.

"At first yeah but in the end we got his suit and my dress. Now they just need to get tailored and then everything is set for the wedding." I said.

She perked up at the mention of me having my dress and a small blush formed on my cheeks. No matter how hard we try to stay away from each other because we want to both be ready for each other again, we just can't stop our feelings.

"I'm sure you'll look beautiful." She said after swallowing.

How many months will we last before eventually not leaving each others side anymore?
