Rise of the Jaded Rose

Chapter 13: Stronger

  Chapter 13: Stronger
Jade's POV
I wake up to someone knocking on the door. I just groan and roll over the other way. The only problem is I bump into something. I open my eyes to see Louis. What the heck is he doing in my bed? Then I remember that I slept in his room with him. He opens his eyes to look at me.
"Good morning love," he says. His blue-green eyes are sparkling as he looks at me.
"Good morning," I reply.
The knocking starts again, interrupting our moment.
"What do you want," Louis yells.
"You need to get up. We have to leave in a half hour," calls Liam.
"K," Louis yells back.
"Oh and tell Jade to wear something nice," Liam calls again.
Louis and I both blush. It's not like we had done anything wrong, but they still liked to tease us. We both slowly crawl out of bed. I walk over to the door and peak out to see the hallway clear. I turn to look at Louis who is looking through his closet.
"Hey Louis. Thanks again for helping me sleep last night," I say.
"You're welcome. If it happens again don't be afraid to come to me," he says.
I smile at him, and then sneak out into the hallway and to my room. I open my door to find the girls in there.
"Spill," Melodie says. They all have the same look on their face. I should've known this was coming. I tell them everything from last night. Once I finish they are all gushing.
"Somebody likes you," singsongs Perrie.
"He is so sweet," gushes Selena.
"We need to hook you two up," states Melodie and Demi at the same time. They give each other a high five for thinking the same thing.
"If you guys are done I need to get ready," I say. I really hate being the center of attention.
"Go jump in the shower. We have an outfit for you already," Demi tells me.
I quickly take a shower. I walk back into my room in a towel. Perrie hands me an outfit to put on. It is a pair of nice jeans with gems, a purple tank top, a white sweater, white Toms, and a purple beanie. Melodie braids my hair into a side braid, while Selena does my makeup.
Once they finish we hear Liam yelling for us to hurry. We run out of the room and see the boys by the front door. We grab our coats out of the closet, and run out to the cars. Liam, Selena, Niall, Demi, Zayn, and Perrie went to Liam's car. Melodie, Harry, Louis, and I went to Louis' car. I managed to snag the front seat before Harry could. He frowned and stuck his tongue out. I just stuck mine out back at him.
"Wow really mature of you two," says Louis.
"Coming from the one who runs around yelling Superman," I shoot back at him.
He just smirks at me and starts the car. Pretty soon, we are pulling up to the building where Simon's office is. Louis looks over at me.
"Hey don't be nervous," he says.
"I'm just worried he won't like me," I say.
"I'm sure he's gonna love you. I mean who wouldn't. You are beautiful, amazing, gorgeous, and the list goes on and on," he tells me.
I smile and he knows that I feel better. We get out of the car and go catch up to Harry, Melodie, and the others. The rest of Little Mix was waiting with them. We all walk into the building together. We take the elevator up to the 10th floor. Once the elevator opened up, we stepped out into a reception area. The secretary looked up and noticed us.
"Mr Cowell is expecting you. You may go in," she says.
We all walk as a group into Simon's office. Melodie and I were staring at everything. Simon greeted us all as we entered.
"And you two must be Melodie and Jade," he says to us warmly. We both nod shyly.
"I have heard a lot about you," he tells us. I was surprised to hear this. Did the boys talk about us? Did Demi and Selena? This was all a shock to me. I didn't know that they liked us that much.
Everyone sat down on couches and chairs surrounding Simon's desk.
"The first order of business is that there is a tour coming up," Simon says.
"Who's the tour for," asks Jade. (The one from Little Mix.)
"Well see that's where my news becomes very interesting," says Simon, "The tour is a joint one between Little Mix and One Direction."
"I think it will get more publicity," Simon continues.
"Where are we going," asks Zayn.
"It's going to be a North America tour," Simons answers him.
"When do we leave," asks Leigh-Anne.
"You will leave two weeks from tomorrow," Simons says.
"I also have some news for Demi and Selena. I talked to both of your managers and they agreed to let you tour with Little Mix and One Direction. They think it will be good publicity for your image," Simon states.
That news shocked everyone. I was sad though. Everyone else but Melodie was leaving in two weeks. What was I going to do then?
Then as if reading my mind Simon says," But I also have more news. I need a new small group. A duet maybe?" He smiles at Melodie and me.
Wait a minute? He wants to sign Melodie and me. This was too good to be true.
"Would you two be interested in signing with my company," he asks us. I nod my head enthusiastically, too shocked and excited to speak. I see that Melodie is doing the same thing.
I sit there thinking about this when something pops into my head.
"Wouldn't it be confusing having two Jades on the tour," I ask.
"Hmm. I never thought about that," Simon says.
We all think about this for a moment then Louis suggests an idea.
"Don't some singers change their name before they become famous," he asks.
"Yes that is a possibility," Simon says.
I had never thought about changing my name. I think about this, and then realize that it might be safer for me this way. I knew my parents were angry for me leaving. They might try to track me down. If I change my name, then they'll never find me. I wouldn't have to be afraid of them. I would be finally free.
"I'll change my name," I state suddenly.
Everyone stares at me shocked.
"I'll change my name. It'll make it less confusing for us, and it will be safer for me," I say.
"What do you mean safer for you," asks Jessie concerned.
"My parents are mad that I left. I don't want them to be able to track me down or stalk me," I say.
I could tell that everyone was a little surprised, but no one questioned me.
"What do you want to change your name to," Simon asks me.
I think about it for a minute and then reply.
"Roselyn Myracle," I tell them. They think it over, and smile.
"It's perfect," Simon and Louis, state at the same time.
"Now we just need a name for those two," Harry says pointing at us with his thumb. I almost laughed at him. He acted like we were two troublemakers, and that we needed to be watched and help with everything.
We all sit there thinking yet again. I notice Melodie perk up beside me.
"What do you guys think of Wings," she asks.
"Like butterfly wings," Jade Perrie asks.
"Yes, because butterflies start as ugly caterpillars and transform into something beautiful. Kinda how we went from having bad home lives to becoming singers," Melodie explains.
Everyone agrees to it. Simon has an assistant draw up the paperwork we need. Soon it was brought in. He marked where Melodie and I need to sign. Within minutes, Wings was Simon Cowell's new music group.
"I want Wings to go on the tour with the rest of you," Simon says, "I think it will be good publicity, and will help them get their name out there."
"What are they going to sing," asks Liam.
"Right now they are going to stick to doing songs by other artists. Similar to what Roselyn has been doing with her YouTube channel," Simon replies. I blush. I didn't know that Simon had seen my YouTube channel.
The meeting ended soon after. We were all to pack and get ready to leave for tour in two weeks. Since we were all so excited, we decided to go out for the afternoon to celebrate the forming of Wings.
I am excited about this new opportunity. It's giving me a chance to make a difference. I know that it's going to be tough, but I'm willing to do it. I mean what doesn't kill you makes stronger. I can only become a better person. I am not going to go back to what I was. I am going to grow strong and encourage others to do the same.
