The Spotlight

Chapter Five: Early Morning

(Perrie Edwards)
I wake up to the sound of my alarm telling me that it is time to get up. The time reads 6:30 AM, and I'm already hating myself for choosing morning classes and staying up late last night. After Jesy left at curfew Jade and I decided to stay up at just talk. I didn't realize how much I missed her until we stayed up till 1:00 in the morning talking. I left we I was ten to live with my dad in California, America, and Jade was eleven. We were close friends growing up, and when you saw one of us the other wasn't far behind. Our mums were friends, so we were always at each other's house. Jade has really grown up since then. I thought she was mature then because she was a year older, but now she really is extremely mature. There was one particular conversation that we had that really stuck out to me.
       "Yeah I left home when I was really young, and I had to leave a lot of friends and family behind." Jade leans closer to me as her way of comforting me.
       "Was it hard for you to leave? I can only imagine how hard it was for you. I have never left anyone behind, but I have been left behind." Jade's eyes start to well up with tears as she remembers the memory.
       "It was hard to leave, and there was one certain person that was harder to leave than others but we were just kids then. She probably doesn't even remember me anymore, which kinda hurts but it's the truth. Anyways who left such an impression on you that she still seem sad about it?" I ask her curiously waiting to know what her answer is.
       "When I was eleven there was this girl that I was really close to growing up. We used to be the best of friends, and even our ups were close. Then one day she came up to me and told me that she was moving the the States, and I was crushed I didn't know what to do with my self for weeks. My mum tried everything to make me feel better, but nothing was working. Looking back at it now that's probably one of the first times I realized that I liked girls. Anyways after she left school started up again, and I met Jesy and slowly we became friends. We will never be as close as I was with the other girl, but it's okay because Jesy is like a sister to me." Her words hit me like a truck. I never realized that me leaving left such an impact on her, and now I feel really guilty. I just want to hold her and tell her everything will be okay, because I'm back and I'm never leaving her again.
       "Do you know where she is now?" I need to know if she still cares, and follows what I do.
       "Yeah i do, but can we talk about something else?"
        "Of course anything for you." My words cause her to blush, and I think it is the cutest thing ever.
       The sound of someone entering the flat snaps me out of my flashback. I look to my right toward the door, and I see Jade wear a crop top and leggings. I assume she just got back from a run or something, but dang she looks good all hot and sweaty.
       "You like what you see?" Jade giggles, and I swear it is the cutest thing I have ever heard. I stop checking her out, and I can feel my face turning red.
       "Yes, a matter of fact I do like what I see. You got a problem with that Thirlwall?" Now it was her turn to blush before making her way to our shared bathroom without making a comment.
       I continue to get ready for class, and when I finish I look over at the clock and it's now 7:45. If I want to make it to class on time in going to have to leave now. I really hate myself for choosing morning classes, and I should have known better since I'm not a morning person.
       "Bye, Jade, I'll see you later." I don't wait for a response before heading out the door, and heading toward my first class.

(Jade Thirlwall)
       I wake up early without my alarm going off, so I decided to go for a run to clear my mind. I stand slowly, and make my way around the room trying my best not to wake Danielle. When I finally have everything together I make my way out of the room silently, and I plug in my headphones and my music starts to play. Live a Little by Perrie Edwards starts playing through y head phones, and all I can do is sigh. I could never really escape her even if I tried, and I have to admit she has a good voice. Oh, who am I kidding she has a wonderful voice. I never really got over her, which sounds crazy because we were just silly kids, but I still cared for her even if she was in a different country. I tried dating throughout high school, but none of those girls were her, Perrie Edwards. Danielle reminds me a lot of her, and I would feel awful if we dated because I don't want her to be just a replacement for Perrie.
       As soon as I open the door I turn to see Danielle checking me out, and it gives my butterflies to know that she looks at me like that. Like I'm the best thing in the world.
"You like what you see?" I giggles, and she stops checking me out. She looks into my eyes, and her face turns firetruck red.
       "Yes, a matter of fact I do like what I see. You got a problem with that Thirlwall?" Now it was my turn to blush, and to hide my face I turn and walk into the bathroom. I shut the door behind be, and I leave up against it. What is this girl doing to me?
       I decided to take a shower since I'm all sweaty, but I don't have class until. 9:00 so I can take my time. As soon as I get out of the shower I hear Danielle shuffling around.
       "Bye, Jade, I'll see you later." Then I hear the flat door shut behind her.
       I finish getting ready, and then I head out the door to my first hour class. I arrive a little early, and there are only about five other people in the room. I take a seat toward the back of the room and sit down, and I watch as people start to flood in. I see Danielle walk in, but before I can wave at her she is pulled down to a seat by some blonde. I can feel my jealousy start to bubble in my stomach, but I just shrug it off when to professor stands at the front of the class.
       "Since this is Music Theory , and I like to challenge you I am already going to give you your first assignment. Everyone in this room must write a song with lyrics and music included together not just one or the other. Then at the end of the month you will preform it in front of the class." The room erupts in to cries of joy, but me on the other hand I'm terrified. How was I, Jade Thirlwall, going to preform in front of all of these people, and the I catch Danielle looking at me. I stare straight into her eyes, and everything around me disappears along with my worries. Yep, this is definitely going to be bad.

       Hey, everyone so I know this was a somewhat boring chapter, but I promise the next one will get better. I beg you to keep ready and voting for this story,  because it means a whole lot to me. Jade misses Perrie, but she is falling for Danielle AKA Perrie. What will happen next? Until next time...
Lots of love,
