Living the Dream [JERRIE]

Chapter 9

PERRIE P.O.V

It is currently early Saturday morning, and I can't really get back to sleep as I am really excited for Jade and I's date this evening.

I decide to go on Twitter to see what is going on in the world. I immediately notice that #ByeZayn is the number one trend in the world. I wasn't surprised, he had just publicly announced that he had left the biggest boyband in the world, of course people were going to be talking about it.

Per usual, there is the obvious hate I get, but today I seemed to get a lot more. A lot of directioners were blaming me as the reason he had left the band. Even though I knew it isn't true as he left to make music he actually liked, it still hurt me a little. I decided to call the one person who made me feel better, Jade.

"Hey Pez" she answered, obviously just waking up.

"Oh god did I just wake you up?" I asked her, after hearing her croaking voice.

"Yeah, but I don't mind if it's you" I could tell she is smiling, and it made me smile too. "What can I help you with? You seem kinda upset about something" she can see, or hear in this case, right through me..

"Well, I, uh-" I replied, finally starting to tear up.

"Hold on there Pez, would you like to come over?" She asked. How sweet!

"Yes please" I replied, "I'll put some comfy clothes on and I'll be right over" I added.

"Ok, I'll get some food ready" she said, before putting the phone down.

I quickly get changed into some jogging bottoms and a hoodie, and wrote Zayn a note to where I had gone. Even though we are not together, we do care about each other as friends.

I took a quick look outside to see if there were any paps, surprisingly, there were not so I took this opportunity to jump in to my car and head to Jades house.

JADE P.O.V

I wonder what is up with Perrie? I know Zayn had just announced that he left one direction, maybe she is getting hate for that? I can't stand to see her upset, I care for her so much, and we haven't even been on our first date yet, which happened to be tonight..

Soon enough, I heard a knock on my front door. I opened it up to find Perrie with red, puffy eyes on her face. After a couple of seconds of staring at each other, she fell into my arms. I had my arms around the lower part of her back, and she had hears at the higher part of my back. She then moved her head to my chest and sighed. I quickly kissed her forehead, and she looked at me smiling, although I could tell she could burst into tears literally any second. Soon enough she did.

"Hey Pez, what's bothering you?" I asked.

"Have you checked twitter recently?" she responded, obviously too upset to tell me directly.

"No, why?" I replied, confused to what she is trying to tell me.

"Here, look" she said, handing me her phone. Doing this, she moved to my side wrapping both of her arms around my waist, and I placed my left arm around her shoulder.

I started to scroll through the worldwide trends, and noticed that #ByeZayn is trending. It didn't surprise me, he didn't seem to enjoy himself with the boys. Like, as if he wanted to make different music but they thought otherwise.

"Are you upset that Zayn left the band?" I asked.

"No, check some of the tweets with the hashtag" she replied. Doing so, I checked the tweets related to the hashtag. The majority of them had some really nasty comments about Perrie. All of them in some way relating her to the reason Zayn had left. I can't believe what these people are saying!

"Do you think they are true?" She asked me with watery eyes.

PERRIE P.O.V

I looked at her beautiful brown eyes waiting for a response, but instead she took my hand and lead me upstairs into her bedroom, and stood me in front of her mirror. I looked at her with a confused expression. She smiled at me and then looked at me in the mirror, which made me copy her actions.

"What do you see when you look in the mirror?" She asked me.

"Uh, me?" I questioned more than answered.

"No c'mon, what do you think?" She asked me again.

I simply stood there and shrugged.

"You know what I see?" She questioned me. Again I shrugged. She then moved to the back of me, resting her head on my right shoulder and her arms placed on my stomach near my belly button.

"I see the strongest women I have ever met, the one who isn't normally affected by the hate, and all of the pressures. The one who has been through some really hard times in her life, and came out on top. You know what I also see? The most beautiful women, inside and out. The women who has the most beautiful voice, most beautiful face, and who has the most beautiful figure. And those eyes, how could I forget about them? The blue eyes I get lost in every time I look at them. I also see the most inspirational person I have met. No matter what, people look up to you and you accept that, and act well to them, sending a good message. But you know what I fell for? Your amazing personality. The way you light up a room when you enter. The way you can make someone, and me especially happy even at the saddest of times. You are so cute too, which makes me feel so happy inside and out. That is what see" she finished, with so much love in her voice.

I didn't realise, but this had brought me to tears and Jade wiped the tears from my cheeks and kissed them.

"That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me" I told her honestly.

"You deserve it. I love you Perrie" she said spinning me around to face her.

"That's good, because I love you Jade" I told her truthfully.

We both leaned in and kissed, sharing our most passionate one yet.
