It Gets Better// Perrie Edwards

Leigh (16)

Leigh-Anne's POV

"Pezza hurry up, the flim's starting" I shouted, crawling under the covers as the title screen played.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. I was just changing my clothes because those leggings were too tight." Perrie said, rubbing her stomach, as she sat down next to me in the bed.

"Bless, your bump is growing now isn't it!" I cooed, laying my hand on her tummy, accidentally tickling her skin slightly.

"Yep, not long until I know what they are, have you got any guesses Lee?" She asked me, leaning her head on my shoulder whilst I pressed play on the movie.

"I think it's a... boy. I don't know why but I can just see you with a little boy." I told her, imagining her with a little boy all dressed up like a grandad with a little flat cap and everything. "What about you muma, what are you thinking?" I said nudging her side.

"It feels so weird hearing me as Mam, it doesn't feel right yet. Anyway, I've got no idea what it is, I just want them to be healthy." Perrie told me, a tear in the corner of her eye caught the light.

I swiped it away with my finger and kissed her cheek, whispering "you are already the best mother Pez, this little one is going to be healthy and loved and know only happiness, I promise."

She nodded and cuddled into me, turning her attention to the begining of mean girls.

"Leigh?" She asked me, half way through the film, when we paused it to order food.

"Yes darl," I replied, scanning the Indian menu.

"Do you think we'll ever fall in love like Jade and Jes?" She asked, looking up at me from her position in my lap, her phone displaying Jade's story of their double date.

"Of course Pezza, you're going to find your dream Mam who can love you the way you need to be loved. And I'm confident I'll find someone too." I said with confidence, stroking her hair.

"But how will anyone love me when I have a kid Leigh?" She exasperated, beginning to get worked up again.

"There'll be someone Perrie I promise. Someone who can pick you up and piece you together and give you all the love you deserve, you and your baby. You will be loved beyond compare, Perrie, I promise." I said with as much conviction as possible, hoping she would believe me.

There was one thing for certain, as I watched Perrie hum to her baby, I was determined for her to relearn her worth and most importantly learn how to feel love again.

I was going to do the date perspective of Jaded and Jakesy but I like it like this, I like it just being Lerrie. Hope that's okay. Sorry for ditching you but I've had so much to do and I'm on holiday in Italy now. Hopefully I'll be able to get the following chap up asap, as I'm off for another week.

Thanks for the support
