Love Me Harder

Chapter 1

Jade POV:
It's been just over 3 months since I left Jed. I just couldn't do it anymore, I wasn't happy with our relationship and neither was he. We both felt the same and agreed that the best thing for us to do was to split. We're still friends, I talk to him quite a lot but there was just no romance there, I saw him in just the same way I see any friend or maybe even sort of like a brother. Perrie and and Alex have also been broken up for about 2 months, or as they like to say 'on a break' but we all know they won't get back together. I've been feeling so close to Perrie recently, we've always been super close but even more so recently over the past weeks or maybe month. We have something special... we both know that I think but we seem to just avoid the whole subject. Living together is perfect, I could ask for a better house mate. She just makes me feel so safe and loved and she brightens up each day I spend with her. I love her... as more than just a friend, but how do I tell her that?
Perrie POV:
Even though me and Alex won't be getting back together it's not really been on my mind too much, Jade has been the only one I can think about recently, she's like a huge cloud of fog that's just completely covered my mind. I know how close we are and I want it to be something more but I don't know if she feels the same. I wish I just had the courage to come out and say it to her but I'm scared that I'll ruin our friendship.
As me and Jade sit watching some random show on TV I'm in a complete daze just thinking about everything. "Pez? Per..? Perrie?!" I hear Jade bringing me out of my daydream "huh? What?" I say, startled at the sudden noise. "What's up?" Jade says, clearly worried about how quiet and absent I've been. "Just thinking" I say, still unsure of if I should tell her not. "What you thinking about bub?" I sigh and realise that I can't hide anything from Jade because she knows me too well. In those few seconds a part of me is screaming to just tell her how I feel but there's also another part of me that's just telling me to keep it to myself. I'm swimming in my own thought that are just getting deeper and deeper. "Perrie!" Jade snaps me out of my thoughts once again. "I'm sorry.." I know I have to tell her, this is all getting way too much. "Come on bubba, you know you can tell me anything" Jade says calmly as she gently rubs my knee. God it drives me crazy when she does that. Her touch just sets fireworks off in my heart. "Anything?" I ask her unsurely. "Yep, absolutely anything." I sigh and take a deep breath, "Jade... I love you.." I can't find anymore words in that moment. "I love you too babe" she replies and I know she doesn't understand what I'm saying. "No, I love you as more than a friend Jade, everyday I spend with you I fall in love with you a little more. You make my everyday just that little bit brighter and I can't think of being without you. I love you so fucking much Jade Thirlwall!" And then there was a long pause, I knew I shouldn't have said anything. I've ruined everything. I've lost my best friend. "C'mere" Jade says quietly as she gestures for me to move closer to her. I do had she says and she does the same. Before I can even think of what's happening I feel her soft lips on mine and taste the faint aroma of her cherry lip balm.
After a few seconds I was bought out of my own little world by the loss of contact. I open my eyes and see Jade smiling like mad at me. "I love you too Perrie" she says confidently. I don't know what I'm hearing. All I can do is stare. Is this actually real?! Did Jade Thirlwall just kiss me?! Wow my mind is spinning round and round... that's when I feel another small peck on my lips. This time my reaction is different, I smile into the kiss a little and reach for jades hand. She squeezes my hand back and pulls me into her chest. I could sit like that for the rest of my life. I've never felt so happy and content. I know things aren't perfect but right now, Jade is all I need.
Jade POV:
Wow what the fuck is happening right now?! I don't know what had happened in the last 10 minutes but all I know is that it feels right. Me and Perrie. We are right, I know it. Our love is something different, something I've never felt before. I just sit with the gorgeous blonde bombshell in my arms and it makes me feel so happy. We sit like this a lot but it feels different, it feels even more lovely. I just kissed her... and now she's sat snuggled up in my arms. I've imagined this moment so many times but this is by far better than any. I hold her close to me and let the silence take over us for a few moments.
"Jadey?" I hear Pez say sweetly as she tilts her head to look up at me. "Yeah bubba?" I reply "I really do love you. This feels so weird but I have never wanted anything more. I just smile down at her cuteness. " it is weird.. but It's a good weird." She giggles which makes my smile grown even wider before I lean down to peck her lips again. I know it's sort of weird but at the same time it just feels as though it was meant to be.
