Change Your Fate

Chapter 14

Jade's POV

Perrie, followed by Tulisa, walks in with a little smile on her face. She pulls her hand trough her hair. "Hey girls, I decided to stay. I'll explain later, let's focus on why we're here." She quickly whispers.

I nodd. Why would she have stayed? Probably because she realized you can't walk away from your problems. No one can, actually. Even if you move to, like, Antartica, your problems will haunt you for the rest of your life. You can close your eyes, for things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart for things you don't want to feel.

Tulisa sits next to Perrie. Her gaze still confused. Who could blame her? It isn't usual four strangers walk in your house, being all mysterious acting something terrible has happened. We really need to explain her what's going on, I just can't find the right words. But I guess, that even though we can tell her everything, some things you need to feel in your heart.

"You don't look like criminals who want to tie me at this chair, while you steal all my money, but I'd still like a little explanation." Tulisa says. I would have laughed if I wasn't so stressed.

"Yes, we get that." Jesy says. "And I'd love to explain it to you, just as the other girls, but even we don't really know what's going on. I know, I sound hazy, but it's impossible to explain. Sort of."

"Yes, you need to feel it in your heart." I say, stating my thoughts from a few moments ago.

"I'm sorry but I really don't understand. Can you please explain, I got this feeling it's important. Please try, then I'll try to understand."

Jesy and Leigh-Anne look at me, making clear I am the one who has to explain. I let go a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Just as I want to start, Perrie says something. "Okay, so ... Well ... I just got to say this. Tulisa, we're Little and Mix, maybe you know us?"

She doesn't give Tulisa time to respond, she already continues. At this side, I'm very happy Perrie is going to explain, on the other side I'm ... No, I'm just happy Perrie is going to explain.

"Our management had planned a collaboration for us, like Little ft. Mix. So, we met. And then, right that moment it clicked. The usual, you probably think. Four young girls who just liked each other from the start. That was what we also thought. But, deep below, we knew something was wrong. Or better said, wrong when I was without them. When I was with them, I felt complete. Without? Incomplete. We talked to each other about this, but we didn't come any further. Until, Jade suddenly remembered a few things. Leigh-Anne, Jesy and I still don't remember, but that put beside. So Jade went to her brother's appartment, to search for her Notepad she wrote. It contained the proove we needed to have. We couldn't deny it anymore. A thought had turned into a fact: we formed a succesful girlband together, and we were best friends."

I look at Tulisa. I can tell she's still confused. She plays with her hair, probably to distract herself from all the eyes who are laid on her.

"That's ... weird. But I don't know if it's true, and I surely don't get what it has to do with me."

This time it's my turn. "Well, Little Mix, also known as Rythmix, was formed during X-Factor. And you were our mentor."

It stays silent for a while. I wanted to give Tulisa some time to react to the bomb I've just dropped on her. She doesn't.

"I suddenly remembered. I asked Liam Payne to find your folder at the studio, and that's where we found your address. I'm sorry, Tulisa. I know this is unbelievable, but it is true."

"How do I know? And why should I believe you? You're four strangers to me! Give me one good reason why I should believe you!"

"Because ..." Leigh started, "because you feel it inside. You feel we're not lying. You feel it's true. Am I right?"

Surprisedly I turn my head to Leigh. Tulisa absolutely didn't show anything of that, how could Leigh know? Unless she can read minds, there's no other explanation than that she just guessed it, hoping that she actually was right.

For a very small moment, Tulisa changes her gaze. But it's long enough to see it. What if ... No Jade, she doesn't remember you. Otherwise she would have told you. Or not? There's this little-

"Leave." Tulisa says. "Please leave. And don't come back." She turns her head away from us.

I don't move for what it feels like an hour. In reality it were ten minutes.

I'm totally in shock. Literally. I didn't even understand what Tulisa actually said. Until Leigh grabs my hand. "Jade, we have to go. She can't help us."

But I don't want to go, we need help! There's total panic in my head. Leigh, why are we going to leave? We shouldn't give up! We need to try everything. Everything. Tulisa was our biggest hope! You can't give up this easy!

"Tulisa, please listen to us! We don't mean to hurt you in any possible way, all we want is your help." It costs me some effort to stay calm, I want to shout.

"I wish I could help you, but I don't know what you talk about. Go, please. And don't come back, I'm sorry."

Jesy's POV

I was the first one to go outside. I'm already in the car as Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne walk out of the house.

I know Tulisa can't help it, but somehow I'm furious. I don't want to feel like that, but it makes me incredibly mad she didn't even try to help us. She could, and should, have given us the time to proove we're right. She didn't. Then again, even if she did, we couldn't have showed we were right. It's just so unfair!

I slam my fist against the car. "Shit, shit, shit." Someone grabs my shoulder. "Jessica, it's not the car's guilt." I turn around and see it's Leigh. How can she be so calm? I want to rip someone's head off.

"Girls, let's be honest. If Tulisa didn't remember us, how the hell could she have helped us? I personally get why she wanted us to leave. So let's stay calm, and use our common sense. We'll find someone else. Okay?"

"Okay." Perrie says.

"Let's get in the car." Leigh says. "Anger leads us to nothing."

Just as I'm about to get in the car, someone shouts my name. "Jesy!"

"Jesy! Leigh! Jade! Perrie! Don't leave! I'm sorry, let's get inside and talk about it." It's Tulisa, I see. Would she have changed her mind?

"You believe us?" Perrie asks.

"I believe you."
