Jade Thirlwall One Shots

The Proposal

Jade's POV:

Today the girls and I are getting ready for our concert. It's going to be bittersweet because it's our last tour date until we go on the Asian leg part of the tour. We'll have a short break before we return but it's going to be hard doing the choreography and setlist the last time. We've been on tour for about three months. Honestly, living on the bus this year has been hard. The last few times it hasn't been as bad because I would see Jed here and there or during breaks get to see him. This year, he left a month before I left and since we were going performances and interviews I couldn't go with him. He is still in the US during our tour, and probably won't come back until the end of the Asian leg. I am trying to visit him during the break between tours but it will be a struggle.

I hate to say it, but honestly I'm jealous of the other girls. Their boyfriends are able to come with them and come to our shows for support but I don't get that. I would never say anything because I don't want Jed to feel bad about missing it and I don't want the other girls uncomfortable bringing their boyfriends around. I already feel bad I can't be there to support Jed. It all is just in a never ending loop I guess.

"Hello, Jade?" I hear someone say, breaking my thoughts. I look up and see Leigh-Anne in front of me. "Are you good?" she asks. "Yeah, why?" I ask. "Because you look sad. I've also been trying to get your attention for five minutes," she says. "Sorry, what do you need?" I ask her, still out of it. "I just want your opinion on my hair style," she says. I look over on her phone where she has saved loads of different options. "How about you limit your options and ask again?" I say, laughing. "Yeah, good idea," she responds with a smile.

I walk over to the couch where Jesy and Perrie were sitting. "Jed?" they asked when I sat down. I nod at them. I forget that we're on the bus and every conversation can be heard. "Aw, when is the next time you'll see each other?" Perrie asks, putting her hand on my shoulder. I shrug, "I'm hoping after this tour but honestly it will probably be after the end of Asia," I say, playing with my fingers. I felt a hand on my other arm. I look over to see Jesy. I make eye contact with her soft eyes. I feel the tears building up so I quickly stand up and walk to the bunks. "I have to go get ready," I say.

We get ready at the venue before the show. After my makeup and hair is done and I'm in costume, I walk down the hall to grab a bottle of water. I walk back down the hallway, and I hear a familiar voice in the hall. I turn the corner to see Jesy. She was on the phone with someone. Once she saw me, she quickly ended the call and looked at me panicked. "Who was that?" I ask her nonchalantly. "Oh, uh, my sister," she says. "Okay," I say unsure, turning back to go into the dressing room. "That was weird," I think to myself.

The show had started and we had done a good amount of our songs. We had just finished singing "Wasabi" and "American Boy" and we're about to get into the slower songs. "The Cure" was next. I have a love-hate relationship with this song. I love it, but when I'm down it hits me hard.

We start the song and the entire time I was singing, I felt the emotion. I almost came to tears twice but eventually fought through them. The girls could tell something was off by just looking at me. But, they didn't say anything, knowing I would completely break down by anyone of them acknowledging it. "Only You" was after. The same song I had previously had a metal breakdown during. Since it was a slower version we were preforming, I was prepared to break down almost.

The song started and it came to my verse. This time I made it through but during the part where I sing "Only You" after, I felt same tears build up. I kept singing, but it was obvious I was crying. I felt a hand on my shoulder, which was Perrie and a hand on my back, which was Leigh. I finally powered through that song.

To kind of get the audience back into an upbeat and happy mood, this was the part where we interacted with them and played games. It's exactly what I needed, time to re-focus and get my mind off of Jed. After playing the game where we do a wave with the lights, we got into position to play a singing game with the fans.

I get into my spot where I have my back turned to one side of the stage so I directly face Perrie and Jesy. While they got into their spots, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turn around and what I see leaves me completely shocked.

It was Jed. I practically jump into his arms and hug him. Loud cheering and "Aw's" followed. Once we pulled away, I gave him a kiss on the lips. "When? Why? How?" I ask, unsure of what to say or where to start. He simply just points to the girls and says "Ask them." I turn around to see them all smiling at me. "Thank you," I say running over to do a quick group hug. "We saw how sad you were and thought we would surprise you," Perrie said. "You almost caught me though," Jesy said laughing. It makes sense now, that's who she was on the phone with. Laughing, I walk back over to Jed, who pulls me into another hug.

Once we break away, Jesy starts to speak, "Didn't you want to say something real quick, Jed?" He nods, grabbing the microphone. Once the crowd settled, he began. "So, I was informed of how sad Jade was with us being apart for so long. I thought I would surprise so she knew how much I loved her." I blushed at those words. "Let me tell you something, she is the most incredible person I know. She's so down to Earth and just amazing to be around. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and literally is the best person I know. I love everything about about her. I want to show her how much I love her," he said. He reaches for something in his pocket and gets onto one knee. Everything felt like slow motion. My hands clasp over my mouth and my eyes are filling with tears. "Will you marry me?" he asks with huge, but slightly nervous smile. "Yes," I say with no hesitation. The crowd screamed. He stood up and placed the ring on my finger. After, I gave him a kiss and gave him another long hug.

We broke away from the hug and I felt more people hug me. I look up to see Leigh, Jesy, and Perrie with excited, but shocked looks all crowded around me. They pulled into a group hug. When we were finished, I looked at them. "Did you know?" I ask them. Perrie and Leigh shook their heads but Jesy didn't right away. "He told me when he surprised you he wanted to speak after. But, you walked in on that conversation so he didn't get to tell me the rest before I hung up," Jesy explained.

For the rest of the show I had a huge grin on my face. I felt on top of the world with no limits. We got back to the dressing room after, where there were snacks and a bottle of champagne. "For the engaged couple," one of the backstage managers said. "Congratulations you two," Leigh said, half screaming while holding her glass up. Everyone followed.

I took of sip of my drink and looked at Jed. I stared into his gaze for a while. I look over to my hand which is holding the drink. I admire the ring. "It's beautiful," I say. "Your mam helped pick it out," he said. "How many people knew about this?" I ask confused. "Doesn't matter," he says, giving me a kiss and pulls me into a cuddle.

This is actually happening.
