Don't Forget You're Mine || Jerrie

A/n: This story will follow a realistic timeline and real life events, but obviously the scenes are fictional.
As you have seen there will be photos in the chapters, but there won't be any videos because I think it interrupts the reading. So videos from the day will be uploaded up here, you can watch them if you want but they won't be necessary for the plot (specific parts will be written down in the chapter if they're important). In my opinion, these videos do make everything seem more realistic so that's why I am uploading them. Enjoy!

July 23, 2015

It has been three days since the break up, and nothing has become simpler. Perrie spends the nights at Jade and Danielle's flat, and it has been a great help, but is not ideal. She craves her own home more than anything, and misses the pets she left behind. Even more than that, she wishes she could fix things with Zayn, or at least say a proper goodbye. She knows that reviving this relationship will cause her more pain than happiness, but cannot give up just yet. It does not make sense for four years to end that way, without any closure.

The girls are flying Holland for promotion in a few hours, and Perrie is having a hard time packing. All of her belongings are in her own home, and she feels bad for having to borrow so many things from Jade. Due to her current state of mind, if Perrie could do it, she would cancel the trip and stay in London, but she has three other girls to think about. She must go.

Last night, Jade invited Leigh-Anne, Jesy and their manager, Sam, over. Perrie told them Zayn and her broke up, and they had to figure out what they are going to do with it, publicly speaking. The youngest member of the band does not want to share this information with the whole world, so the decision made was for her to keep the ring on whenever she is in public. Hopefully, no gossip will leak until she is ready.

"Do you think it will be okay?" Perrie asks Jade while the two close their suitcases, sitting together on the floor in Jade's bedroom. They have a short trip with a tight schedule ahead - one day in Holland, one day in Germany, two days in Sweden and then finally the flight back home. The thought of wearing the engagement ring, which symbolizes nothing but metal and precious stones right now, in front of the fans terrifies Perrie. She hates to be lying to them, and it is only a matter of time before they notice something is off.

"I don't think it will be easy, but you are strong. You can do it," Jade replies, looking into Perrie's sad yet mesmerizing blue eyes. Perrie slightly nods her head and stands up. She goes to the bathroom with the intention of checking for anything they forgot to pack, but the sound of a notification makes her forget it and check her phone. It is a text from the person who hurt her the most, who is the reason why she feels like she cannot have fun these days. It is from the the person she misses with everything in her.

Hi perrie, Zayn wrote.

These two words are enough to awaken strong feelings. For the first time in three days, she has actual hope to hold onto, that Zayn and her could work out after all. That was not the end of the story, she knew it. Although her fingers are eager to type a reply straight away, Perrie decides to wait at least a few hours before allowing them to do so. Zayn needs to understand that he cannot treat her so disrespectfully, break her heart so easily, and then expect her to be begging for forgiveness. She must wait.

As Perrie steps back into Jade's bedroom she tries to act as if nothing happened. She cannot tell Jade or anyone else about the text. Not yet, not before she knows what it means. Both women take their suitcases and leave the house. They get to the airport and meet with Jesy and Leigh-Anne, who are trying to make Perrie laugh throughout the whole wait to the flight. They succeed quite a few times, and Perrie does feel a bit better, though the two-word text is weighing on her. It is only when the four girls find their seats in business class when Jade finally expresses her concern about Perrie.
