Chapter 25

Perries POV

There are so many thoughts running through my mind. Did Jade meet up with him? Did he threaten her? Has he actually told Simon? I just want answers, but I just don't want to upset her. I sigh and check the time on my phone again. 8:34am. I reach my right arm out to move her hair out of her face. I feel the pins and needles starting to form in  my left arm with Jades weight on it, but ignore it as she just looks so peaceful. I flip on my side so my face is facing hers. I run my hand up and down her arm, making her stir a bit. I don't worry about waking her up as normally she loves to be woken up early, for a reason I can't understand. I budge towards her and place a gentle kiss on her forehead, making her stir even more. "Pez?", she mumbles gently. I just smile and place another kiss on her head.

Her eyes slowly open, squinting at me, her eyes adjusting to the light of the room. The light coming in from the small gap in the courtain shines on the left side of her face, making the colour of her pupil pop. "What time is it", she mutters, closing her eyes again. "Eight thirty". I watch as her eyes dart open and she looks at me in shock. "That's early for you", she says. "I couldn't sleep", I say gently, reaching out caressing her cheek. I see her smile softly. "You want to know what happened yesterday don't you?", she says knowingly, yawning and sitting up, her weight moving off of my hand. "Only if you're ready", I say, still lying in the same place, looking up at her. "Well i'm not, but you need to know what's going on", she says after hesitating a few seconds.

I sit up and pull her in to my arms, so she's sitting on my lap. She leans back in to me and I grab her hair in one hand and straighten it out in a quick movement. "So, he called me when we got out the taxi, and asked if we could meet and talk about what happened. So I agreed and met him in a small cafe. There were a few pap outside but none inside. So when we got there before he even spoke I clarified that i've loved you for the longest time and that he can't do anything to change that". I hear her go silent and my arms snake around her small stomach, holding her reassuringly. She turns to face me, and I see determination in her eyes. "He told me how I could still pretend to date him and how he could help us hide Jerrie, but I don't even want to hang out with him, so I said no. So he pulled out his phone and called Simon, asking for a meeting. I tried to stop him, but he just pushed me away from him. While he was on the phone he also said before he hang up that we were dating. He says that Simon will agree with his idea. I left". The whole time I focus on Jades eyes that kept shifting around the room and back to my eyes. I try to ignore the anger. "Perrie, I will sort it out I promise", she says desperately, obviously noticing the anger. "Who the fuck does he think he is", I say quietly, trying not to raise my voice. "I will sort it out. Simon won't make us do anything we don't want to do...", she trails off. "Are we telling Jesy and Leigh", I ask. "Not until they tell me what they said to Jed", she spits, her attitude suddenly changing. "Im sure they would have just been defending us", I say gently, now my turn to calm down the other. "Well why are they hiding what they said then?". I sit in silence, not sure what to say. "Earlier you said I. Not just you. We will sort it out. Me and you", I say after a few minutes of silence. I feel Jades body relax and I pull her in to me. I feel her place a gentle kiss on my cheek and I smile. "Ill try get whatever it was out of Leigh, okay angle?". I feel her relax even more in my arms.

"Right, let's get ready and be the first ones for once!", says Jade after a few minutes of  lying in my lap, massaging my neck subcontially, probably deep in though: She crawls out of my lap and runs over to her suitcase. "What are we up to today?", I ask, looking at her from where i'm sitting. "We have  press and then our show tonight", she says, picking up several piles of neatly folded clothes. I watch as she crosses her legs, sitting on the floor, looking through her clothes. "Start getting ready Pez, I really want us to be early to show the other girls up", she says, looking at me smirking. I don't get up to pick an outfit as I knew Jade would have a go at me looking at the state of my case. "I will in a minute", I mutter, pulling the duvet over me. "Right, if you don't pick an outfit I will for you". I feel my eyes widen as she walks over to my case. I leap out of the bed and place my hands on Jades waist, her back facing me. I tighten my grip on her waist but she wriggles out of my grip and reaches my case. I watch as she unzips it, all the clothes flooding out. She gaps and turns on her heal to face me. "Miss Perrie Edwards", she says walking over to me. "What is that mess", she says coldly, but I see her trying to hold back a giggle. "I won't be able to share my life with you if you stay this messy", she sighs dramatically. I lean foward and place my lips on hers, quickly pulling away. "You know i'm worth it tho Jadey".
