How It All Fell Into Place.. (Zerrie story)

Perrie's Decision

Perrie's P.O.V

"What do you think he's going to do now?"

"I don't know. I hope he doesn't come back soon."

"One can only pray. I'm sorry Pez, I have to go now."

"OK Jadey, see you soon yeah?"

"Yeah."

Speaking to Jade over the phone had made me realize how cut off I was with the girls since I moved back here to South Shields. I don't know how I couldn't have thought of giving them a call. It made me feel like a pretty bad friend. Zayn didn't have this problem, obviously, because the boys came over when they heard Zayn was admitted into hospital. I hadn't realized how long I'd been here in Shields and maybe it was time to go back to London. I loved spending time here but I hadn't really had a serious talk with my mum since I arrived.

All we talked about was work, Zayn, London, the girls and just life in general. They may seem like the topics of a serious chat with your mum, but they weren't with us. Our type of serious talk would be me sitting down on my bed crying and pouring my heart out to Mum while she held me and listened to my problems. I guess now that I'm with Zayn, he's taken over that role. Don't get me wrong, I love cuddling with Zayn, but sometimes you just want to talk with your mum because let's face it, no one every beats your mum at her own game.

"Perrie? Is something wrong?"

"No, Ma. I'm fine."

"You sure, bub? You don't sound fine to me."

"I'm sure, Ma."

"Perrie, something is wrong. Please let me in."

"Come in then."

Mum opened the door and quietly closed it as she entered. She saw me laying on my bed, spread out on my back like a starfish. I felt the bed dip on the right side so I turned to face my mum. She was looking at me expectantly.

I sighed and said, "Really, there's nothing wrong, Ma. I just miss the girls."

"Perrie, you know you're always welcome here, this is your home just as much as it is mine. I understand if you want to move back to London."

"Really? But I left you with all this mess! I can't-"

"Perrie Louise Edwards. I did not raise my daughter to worry about little problems like these. I did not raise my daughter to worry about giving me messes to clean up, I'm a mother that's my job. I did raise my daughter to be the strong beautiful woman she is today, and I'm proud of myself for doing so. Perrie, please don't worry about me. If you want to go back to London, I'm not stopping you."

I couldn't help it. I pulled Mum in for a massive bear hug and let me tell you something, she's the best at giving bear hugs. I pulled away and wiped the tears that slowly leaked from my eyes away.

"Thank you, Mum."

"No problem, hun. I'm a mother, just doing my job." She kissed my forehead before slowly exiting the room.

I sighed and fell back onto my bed, wishing Zayn was here. Him and the boys were having a 'boys night out' somewhere before they absolutely have to go back to London to do promo for their new album. It might be selfish, but I wish he would've stayed back here with me, so we can have a relaxing day before he goes back. But I'm going to let him have his fun. I've already planned out my trip back; fly back a day after Zayn, surprise the girls, tell them everything that's happened here and then just relax until Sunday! Perfect plan, yeah? I mean, Jade especially would love to see me back. Jesy and Leigh would be too, but Jade the most. We've always been closer together than to Jesy and Leigh. Don't ask me why, I don't know. I pulled out my phone and saw I had one text from Jade, and one text from Zayn. Being the awesome girlfriend I am, I opened Zayn's text first.

Zaynxx- Hey babe. I know I told you I was going out on a 'boys night' with the lads, but I need you to get ready for something. Dress nice. Oh wait, you make everything look nice when you're wearing it. ;) Ahaha be ready by 5.30 kay? Love you. xx

Wait, what? So he didn't go on a 'boys night out'? I glanced at the time and sighed. It was only 2.47pm. I quickly opened and read Jade's text.

Jaaaddeeyy- Hey Pez! Lookin forward to you coming home! I hope it's soon. I dunno if I can stand third-wheeling Jesy and Leigh anymore. You know how many times I've had to go with them to go shopping, for HATS!? I asked them to let me stay home but they wouldn't listen and dragged me to the shops! ARRRGGHHHH PERRIE WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?!!?!?!?!?! Anyways, cyaa soon bub! xox

I smiled at Jade's text. She was so cute. I smiled and replied back to Jade.

Perrrrrrrriiiieeeeeee- Hey baba, might be home sooner than you think! But hush! Don't tell Jesy or Leigh, it'll be a surprise! Ahaha, I'm sorry for not being you're rescuer this time Jadey, but I will be, the day after tomorrow......... ;) ;) xox

I instantly got a reply back, which I'm not quite shocked about. Jade always replies really quickly.

Jaaaddeeyy- OMFG YOU'RE COMING HOME THAT SOON?!? YAYAYAYAY! OMG YAY I MISSED YOU EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A PHONE CONVERSATION NOT EVEN TWO HOURS AGO BUT YAY! xox

Perrrrrrrriiiieeeeeee- Oh, baba. You never fail to make my day. Anywho, I have a "date" to get ready for!! xox

Jaaaddeeyy- "date"? xox

Perrrrrrrriiiieeeeeee- Yeah, Z texted me telling me to dress nice. He didn't say it was a date though. xox

Jaaaddeeyy- OoOoOoOoOo SOMEONE'S GETTING SOME TONIIGGHHTTTT!!!! :D :D :D xox

Perrrrrrrriiiieeeeeee- SHUT UP JADE! >:( I'll get you back next time you go out on a date with Sam!! ;) xox

Jaaaddeeyy- OK OK OK fine! Go get ready gurl. A man doesn't like to be kept waiting! ;) xox

Perrrrrrrriiiieeeeeee- Oh shush you! xox

She didn't reply after that, but it was cool.

Right now, I had a "date" to get ready for.
