Why me? (Jerrie)

October Part 5

Jade's (P.O.V)

It had been a few weeks since the incident and we had been great. Pez took me on two dates and they were perfect. I know you expect I pour the details out but those are locked in my mind for my eyes only. Those are the most precious moments and they seemed to fly past in seconds so before I tell I need to enjoy them.

We have been hanging out with Leigh and Jess a lot too. Perrie really likes them. It's Halloween in a couple of days and usually the three of us go to the fight night at my old club but not anymore. I watched my friends at the club like my friends watched me before. This only lasted the first two years though because it became too much to see how far I could have gone. So we usually had a sleepover now. This year however we were going to go to the fancy dress fair in town. Pez was reluctant at first but she thought we'd be safe because of the costumes. Nobody would know it's her. I still didn't know what to go as but I know I wanted to go as a couple with Pez. 

I was sitting on my bed trying to strengthen my legs with exercises the doctor gave me. Recently my back was hurting more but I hadn't told anyone yet. It probably isn't important. Tomorrow we were supposed to be preforming our duets in music and some of the other class was joining to do theirs as well. Lauren and Dinah were also doing a mashup of Alicia Keys and Beyonce because those two could argue forever over what to sing. So Pez and I decided for them and Pez even helped them with the arrangement. There was a faint knock at the door. "Come in Pez." I said. "How did you know it was me?" I laughed at her. "Nobody in this house knocks and that includes Jesy and Leigh. " I concluded my deductions like a little Sherlock Holmes. "You ready to practice?" She asked walking over to give me a peck on the lips. I'm so proud of how far she's come. 

You can see her smiling at school and now that she has three friends with her to help only Sydney, Zayn and their friends bully Perrie anymore. Everyone else has backed off but those few who try and touch her have to go through me Lauren and Dinah first. She's happy and she definitely deserves it. I'm glad the song we are singing is so happy. It's called wings. We sat down next to each other and she picked up her guitar to strum the chords using a looping pedal to add other aspects like drum sounds and a melody. Then we sang

Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly

Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by

My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah

Walk, walk on over there
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

(Hey, hey, woo!)

I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no "Ready. Steady. Go!", no

Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is

Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd

Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings

Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly (my little butterfly)
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say – it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly

Our voices melted together perfectly and I was sure we were going to be fine for the project. She smiled lazily at me resting her head on my shoulder. "I love you Jade." She informed me again. "I love you more than words Baba." Pez was my rock and to me she was a superhero. That's it the perfect couple costume, Nyssa Al Ghul and Sara Lance from Arrow. It was one of my favourite shows to watch because of the accurate fights. I liked to watch and point out all of the techniques and styles. As well as that it has really good characters.

"Perrie I think I know who we should go as for halloween."

"Really who?"

"Black canary and Nyssa her girlfriend. You could be the canary cause she has a mask and I could be your sexy assassin girlfriend." I know she knew who I meant cause I made her watch some with me and now she was hooked like me.  "That sounds great baba, I would love to."

It was settled then, I knew Jess and Leigh were going as Ariel and Pocahontas because that was who they most resembled. "Babe, ten pounds says Laur is a sexy vampire and Dinah is in some sort of sports gear like she knows she wants to be on a team." I said. "Your on but twenty that Dinah is Beyonce." I nodded in agreement and we talked for a bit longer before she had to go home. I was already planning where to get out outfits and was extremely excited not to be princess Jasmine like when I was little. It's nice for a change of pace.
