Time Ahead

chapter thirty-seven

Leigh's POV:

It's been days and this whole fight between Perrie and Jade is still going on. We went back home to London and they still aren't talking. Jess and I haven't taken any sides because we see both, but we've mostly stayed out of it. Jesy is over and we called Perrie to try and settle this once and for all.

"Do you think she coming?" Jesy asked. "I hope so, this needs to end," I say. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Hello ladies," Perrie beamed as she walked through the door. We guide her over to the living room and take a seat on the couch. "What?" she asks when Jesy and I start staring at her. "You know what," Jesy says. "You didn't call to hang out did you?" she asks. "No, you need to settle this," I say. "I'm not apologizing, I'm right," she says. "It's her life, if she wants to take him back, she can," Jesy says. "But it's not the right thing," she argues. "Look, Jade's stubborn and won't listen to us, no matter how far things go," I say. For the first time since the fight, Perrie actually considered our advice. "I just want what's best for her," she says. "We all do, and you never know he could prove us wrong," Jesy says. "Just go talk to her," I say. "Fine, but no promises this will be over," she says.

Perrie pulls out her phone. "What are you doing?" I ask. "On Instagram," she says. Jesy and I just look at her. "You mean now?" she asks. "Yes," we both say. "Sorry, I thought you still wanted to hang out," she says heading towards the door. Once she leaves Jesy and I both burst out into laughter.

Perrie's POV:

I sit in the car quietly. Going over what I should say to her in my head. I pulled up outside of her house. Her car was in the driveway, so I knew she was home. I took a deep breath before knocking. The door opened to reveal Jaz. "Auntie Perrie!" Jaz shouts running over to me. "Hi, sweetie," I say giving her a hug. "Is mamy home?" I ask her. "Yeah," she says. On cue, I hear Jade's voice. "Jaz, what have I told you about answering the door," she says. She almost stopped in her tracks when she saw me. "Jaz, why don't you go play with Jolie," she says. "Okay," Jaz says cheerfully, waving me goodbye before running back inside. I wave back as Jade walks out onto the porch, closing the door behind her.

"Why are you here?" she asks, her tone sharp. "Look, I wanted to talk to you," I say. "Okay, go," she says, letting down her guard a little. "I'm sorry for acting like that the other day. I shouldn't have said all that, I'm sorry," I say. "If you had a problem with me seeing Jed, you should have talked to me instead of getting mad," she said. "You're right, I should've. The only reason I was mad, is because I want the best for you. I don't want to see you hurt again," I say apologetically. "Thank you. Also, he did break me. Maybe I was just too stubborn to see it," she said. I laugh sightly at her comment. "I just want to know, do you for sure, want to start over with him?" I ask. She thinks for a second before nodding. "Yeah, I really do. And he has changed. He went to anger management classes and got everything sorted," she says. "Oh," I say a little surprised. "I didn't know that," I say. "Yeah, he's really making an effort," she says. "Come here," I say, pulling her into a hug. "I'm so sorry," I say. "I should've just talked to you instead of getting mad. Our friendship means too much to me," she says, her voice breaking. "Aww baba," I say, also tearing up.

We went inside Jade's house and chatted like normal. Eventually, Jesy and Leigh came over. "Is everything good?" Leigh asks, stepping inside. "Yes, we're good," I say, giving Jade a side hug. "Yay!" Leigh said excitedly. "That was scary," Jesy says. We did a group hug and gathered on the couch. Jaz and Jolie joined us out there as we watched Disney movies and talked about everything. "I love you girls," Jesy says. "We love you too," I say, hugging her.
