Jerrie One Shots

Rewrite The Stars (fluff)

I just watched "The Greatest Showman" and yeah, I know I'm a bit late but I'm not really into watching films that's why. The movie was really great and the soundtrack was even better. My favorite is "A Million Dreams" but since "Rewrite The Stars" (also a good one, I might add) has a story and of course, it gave me an idea to another one shot. Hope you like this guys.

Jade's POV

I am nothing but a simple woman. I grew up in just an average family. We only have enough for food but I still managed my way to studying because of my work.

When my parents got separated, my life became even harder. My mother became sickly, thus, I need to work 3 times harder to make enough money for her hospital bills, medicines, for our food and rent.

It was really a tough time but I wouldn't leave my mother.

I am a senior student in Liberty High. I am studying in the morning and working my shifts in the local pub and restaurant place "Rosie's Diner" as a waitress during the evening. However, during Saturdays and Sundays, I work in a bookstore and library and whenever there are no classes in the morning, I babysit.

This is not the life that I dreamed of but I wouldn't have it any other way. At least, I know that my parents love me.

Although they are separated, my father still visits me and his life may be hard too but he still gives us the support that he can while my mother is the most caring and sweetest person in the world. She makes sure that I still have time to rest.

I am doing all that I can to make our lives better and I won't give up.

Today is just an ordinary day in the life of Jade Amelia Thirlwall. I am in Liberty High right now and I am currently getting my books in my locker when I felt someone's presence beside me.

I expected it to be Leigh-Anne since she's really the only person I talk with and whom I'm really close with. I may have other friends but she's the only one that understands me.

But to my luck, it wasn't her.

Here we go again...

"Hey, Jade. I-I brough you um... breakfast.", she stuttered and she lifted the paper bag of what I think is sandwich from one of the most prestigious and popular Italian cuisine restaurant here in our place.

I don't want to be rude to anyone and most especially now that me and my family needs any help that we can get to make our lives even a bit better but I don't want to use her.

Actually, I've got a crush on her ever since middle school and my feelings for her still hasn't changed one bit and when she admitted that she wants me too just as much as I like her, I can't help but to feel so damn happy..., but of course the world is unfair.

She's Perrie Louise Edwards. Daughter of the most powerful and rich man in London, Alexander Edwards who owns couple of companies both in our place and overseas.

She's been courting me for almost a year now but I'm still keeping my cold shoulder on her.

Yes, I'm playing hard to get but no, this is not just playing and this is not intentional.

I know her family. They are those rich type of people who tends to put their power and money in their heads. They don't treat people good. They degrade them. Although Perrie is different, I just knew that even if we are a couple, they won't approve of it because of my social class and status and I'm keeping myself from falling even harder for her so that I won't just end up being hurt.

"I-It's okay if you don't want it.", she said again and put the paper bag down.

My reverie was cut short when I realized that she might have been waiting for my response all this time and I was too caught up with my thoughts.
