It's been hours since Perrie left. Simon called her in, Lauren flew from L.A, Zayn and Harry were taken to him, Jed was also with them. No one knew what was happening. All they knew was that they were called in. "God, I'm getting worried." Jade bit on her nails as she stared at the clock.
Norma and Debbie were with her, along with Jesy and Leigh-Anne. Chris was here too, offering them comfort and company as Perrie went to the unexpected meeting. She's been so scared. There were terrorist threats on them. Whether it came from the Middle East, Asia or the States.
It was dangerous for their concerts so they heightened the security to a maximum. "She'll be okay, Poopey." Leigh whispered as she hugged the smaller Geordie, the girl nodded and burrowed her head on the afro haired girl's chest.
That's when the door opened to reveal a slightly infuriated Perrie with a very shocked Jed trailing behind her, "I bloody hate the British Government from now on." She grumbled as she sat down on the recliner she and Jade would always cuddle on. Jed reluctantly sat on the couch, right beside Chris who began questioning him.
Jade immediately wrapped the blonde in a hug and it made her feel a little more calm, yet guilt washed over her face as Jed looked down. "What was the meeting about, Perrie? You alright?" Jesy asked as she gave the blonde a cup of coffee, the blonde offered her a smile and took the cup.
"Jed and I have something to tell you lot." She sighed, staring at the lad in the eye who only nodded in return. He might've been Jade's fake boyfriend but he remained a good friend, just like Chris. "Is it bad, pet?" Debbie asked as she stroked her daughter's hair. Jade looked up at Perrie's blue eyes, it was filled with dullness, sadness and guilt. It scared her.
"Well, Simon rounded us all up since we were all tied in connections." Jed gulped, letting the scalding liquid of the coffee go down his throat, he then nudged his head towards the blonde who only gulped in return, everyone turned to look at her and she felt like her heart was coming out of her throat.
"Basically, in paragraph eighteen, line three of our contract there was something we might've missed. RCA or Syco, EMI or Virgin, they all have something in fucking common." She grumbled, Jesy's heart began to drop, Leigh began to pale and Jade's heart was beating out of her chest.
"What is it, Perrie? Are you going solo?" Leigh asked worriedly, she shook her head, laughing derangely as all the sorrows engulfed her. "No, but you'd be a trio for three fucking years." She chuckled dryly, they all kept silent while looking at Jed.
"Perrie, Lauren, Zayn, Harry and I, we were," He gulped, avoiding everyone's eyes as he trailed off. Perrie just began to cry as Jade held her, "We're enlisted to the army for two years. The first year, we'll go through basic training and the next, well, we'll be deployed somewhere we don't know."
Jade's heart dropped as Perrie sobbed harder after Jed let out the news. "The contract said that when you're in a group, one member should attend the army when the government tells them to. And what do you bloody know? I took the fucking risk because I can't lose you girls." She laughed dryly and it broke Leigh and Jesy's heart to see their ray of sunshine like this.
But Jade was the worst. She dreaded seeing Perrie go somewhere far and probably not return. She can't risk Perrie's life. "I'm going with you." Jade deadpanned, the blonde shook her head, "I already signed. I can't lose you girls."
"We can't lose you too, Perrie. We need you." Leigh sighed, Perrie shook her head, "Jed and I will be leaving next week. I'm just glad I spent Christmas with you lot."
A week has passed and everyone dreaded to see this day. Jade was clinging to her girlfriend like a Koala all week and Perrie doesn't complain. She won't be seeing her girlfriend physically and she'll only be able to hear from her during Sundays. All she can take was her guitar, all of their albums, a bunch of photos, Jade's sweatshirt, Jesy's bra (don't even ask), Leigh's baseball cap and a huge tumbler from her family. To keep her hydrated, they said.
