Stop And Listen(Jerrie Thirlwards)

Four

Jade sat down in the car, watching the outside world, how she got concealed away from it as the door closed, the last thing she saw was Perrie smiling whilst talking to Liam. She was nervous, Jesy had this edge that well... she was a tad scared of her. "Oh chill out I'm not going snap your neck." Jesy said, turning off the radio, "But I do really need to talk to you." She said, her voice no longer play full and cheery. "o-okay.." Jesy took in a breath, "Well, this is about Zayn and Perrie, as I said, earlier." Jade nodded, silently gulping.

"Well, we weren't lying when we said she took to you faster than any of us, and honestly, I think thats a bit suspicious." Jade was now messing with her fingers, " You know, Jade, Perrie loves Zayn." Jade couldn't help but scoff, looking out the window. "Is this funny?" Jesy asked, Jade shook her head, but then she changed her mind and nodded. "How so?" Jesy asked.

"Well, she just told me different.." Jade said.

"What did she say?"

"I can't tell you, I promised." Jade said.

Jesy sighed, she was trying to hint to Jade that Perrie may like her, after all she was the only one besides to Leigh Anne who knew that Perrie like both men and women. It had taken Perrie three months to confess to her friends, she felt they had the right to know she just.. didn't know how to tell them. She hadn't told the boys yet, well she told Liam, he just smiled and whispered a quiet, "me too." Looking at Zayn, Perrie smiled, thinking he was looking at Niall.

Jesy and Leigh Anne on the other hand weren't as subtle about it, they were happy, like really happy, the hugged her and jumped up and down and bought food and movies and spent the whole weekend with Perrie out of pure happiness. Perrie had been, that her friends were not leaving and judging her, prepared to hold it over her if she would do anything to them.

"Well, how about you tell me why you don't like Zayn, you always seem to have this skull breaking look when he's near, you got out of there so fast when he began to speak it was like you had gone in a blink."

Jade bit her lip, "It's just obvious he's not the best boyfriend in the world, he's clingy at that too, he seemed like he had been possesed when I tried to take Perrie away from him." Jade replied.

"That's what I'm wondering, Why were you trying to her away from him? Why are you already so protective over her like... like she's yours."

Jade gulped, Mine, she thought, mine as in mine? No that's absurd, Perrie's a girl, but I like the thought of it.. " I get very protective over people, I'm friends with." She said simply, hoping it would pass as an excuse, "You've only known her for ten hours, Jade, I think it'd take a lot longer than that."

Jade shook her head, "We're here, blue house on the right." Jade said, getting ready to get, when Jesy parked Jade got out, "Listen Jade, although you know something I don't there's things about Perrie you'd wish you knew earlier before you get all cozy in our perfect little world." Jesy said.

Jade shook her head, "Man kind finds different ways to ruin the most perfect thing, Jesy, and who knows, maybe thats why I'm here. Maybe not. I guess we'll just have to find out." Jade shrugged, walking into her house, waving a last good bye. "Hey honey how was school?"

"They actually sent me to a different school, a fine arts school couple streets down, they sent me as a shadow, and they asked me to go on a scholarship." Her mother looked up and smiled, "Are you serious Jade that's great! When can you start?"

"In about three weeks." Jade answered, Her mom squealed hugging her, "This is so great! I have to tell your father! And Carl! Oh my god Jade this is great!" Jade smiled, seeing her mother excited. It didn't happen often to be quite honest, ever since her parents divorced, her father had fallen in love with his co worker, Mary, Jade was okay with Mary but she knew she would always hold her responsible for breaking up her parents, the little part of her with hatred for her step mother, who she rarely saw.
