"I am so excited for our 3rd album to get out!" my band mate Perrie Edwards exclaimed.
Me and the other girls murmured in agreement.
"It's going to be a while before the whole album releases," Jesy says, "but we'll be releasing Black Magic next month!"
Leigh-Anne smiles as she thumbs through a fashion magazine.
"What do you think of this?" she asks, pointing to a black top in the catalogue.
"I like it," I reply. A glint catches my attention out of the corner of my eye. I see Perrie toying with her engagement ring, her eyes glancing between the ring and her phone, with her brow furrowed.
"What's up Pez?" I asked, calling her by her pet name. She wordlessly hands me her phone. I glance at the screen. A Cosmopolitan article is on her safari page. I scroll down and see a picture of Zayn (her fiancé that is a member of One Direction) and a random woman. I gasp. She grabs the phone back from me and shows me a tweet.

     "Oh!" I start, "why are you worried then?"
"Well, we haven't been on the best of terms at the moment," she explains. "It's a little stressful with us having our album and new singles being expected and him being on tour with One Direction. I feel we're not as close as we used to."
"Don't worry," I lean forward and give Perrie a hug. "He loves you." Jesy raises an eyebrow at us from across the room. Lately a whole Jerrie movement has swept across our fan base. Many Mixers ship Perrie and I, (hence the name Jerrie) and although we're only friends, I feel sometimes Jesy and Leigh-Anne are thinking that there might be something more than just friendship.
Perrie looks at me and nods. "Thank you Jeed." Jesy clears her throat, a smirk playing on her lips. Leigh-Anne looks up from her magazine and glances at us. She and Jesy exchange a look. I pretend I didn't see.
"Let's get going guys," I say. "We have an interview in a little while."
"We do?" asks Leigh-Anne.
Jesy rolls up the catalogue and hits Leigh-Anne in the head.
"Yes you cheeky bugger. Now get up and get moving before you waste £800 on clothes," Jesy teases.

      I'm lounging on my sofa when my phone rings. I glance at the name: pez 💓 I stand as I pick it up.
      "Hi Pez, everything okay?"
      "No," Perrie says. It sounds as if she's crying.
      "What's wrong!?
      "Zayn left One Direction Jade. I didn't want to tell you until it was official but the day he sent that tweet he had left the tour due to stress," Perrie said.
       "Oh, erm, okay. Why are you upset, I guess it's sad he left, but doesn't that mean he'll be able to spend more time with you?" I ask.
       Perrie is silent for a few seconds. "I guess, but just look on Twitter," she says before bursting into tears.
        "I will," I assure her. "Come over please!"
       Perrie agreed and hung up. I go onto Twitter and type in Zayn Malik. I see an article pop up in a tweet. "Perrie Edwards to blame for breaking up One Direction." Tweets below it make my blood boil.

      I understand why Perrie was crying. She's being blamed for Zayn splitting from the group even though it probably wasn't just her. I feel terrible. Perrie has a lot of anxiety so our new songs, speculations of Zayn cheating, and now this is no doubt weighing on her shoulders.
