somewhere down the line

The day after last night

The sun shone through the windows, stirring Jade awake from her peaceful sleep. Jade squinted and rubbed her eyes, only to be hit by a pang of pounding in her head and nausea taking over her body. Jade pressed her head onto the pillow and gripped the bedsheet, trying to relief the pounding she's feeling on her head. Slowly opening her eyes and shutting it back, the first thing Jade saw was large windows with sunlight shining through it which seem to be mocking Jade's hangover. Jade mentally cursed herself or whoever for not closing the curtain the night before. 

Wait, Jade's eyes shot open as realization took over her. Jade glanced under the duvet and gasped when she realized that she's naked and that there's someone else lying beside her. 

"No way, no it's impossible," the Little Mix member whispered as her hands hovered over the sheet covering the figure beside her. Jade gently pulled off the cover, her heart beating with each second. A familiar bed of hair greeted her and she immediately stopped when she realized the person she had slept with the previous night. Jade slammed her body on the bed and covered her face with her hands in disbelief. She felt angry and disappointed at herself, at Harry, at Jed but mostly, she felt disappointed by herself. Jade is in disbelief. After all these years, she still came running back to him. Jade groaned as she recalled what happened last night.

Last night

"Harry. Join us," Jade pleaded. Harry stared into Jade's brown eyes which seems to be pleading him to accept and take away her pain. Harry couldn't stop himself and blurted, "Okay."

The other girls look at him with dissatisfaction while Jade gave him a small smile, content with his answer.

"Okay," Jade whispered. Time seems to stop for both of them as they stood by the door staring at each other. That is until someone cleared her throat.

"If you don't mind," Jesy started, "We need to change. Go invite Liam as well," Jesy chased him away as Leigh-Anne and Perrie snickered while Jade lightly hit Jesy's arm for her bluntness. Harry shuffled his feet in embarrassment before bidding goodbye to the girls and rushed to Liam's dressing room.

Despite the girls inviting Harry to go together with them, Harry decided to wait for Liam to finish changing instead as he wanted to avoid the awkwardness between him and Little Mix. Truth to be told, Harry could feel the adrenaline rushing through his blood. He has always like hanging out with the girls. They are fun to party with and he could tell Liam is also pumped to hang out with the girls. He only wished Niall and Louis were in town and the gang would be completed. Just like the good ole' time.

Reality came crashing down when the two gentlemen stepped into the private room in the bar the Little Mix girls were in. The smell of alcohol lingered heavily over the room. Perrie was supporting Jesy as they stood in the middle of the room and sang at the top of their lungs. Jade was sitting on the couch, a bottle of beer tightly held on her right hand, laughing her heads off at the duo's antics. Leigh-Anne seemed to be the only sober one as she sat at the end of the couch, conversing with Claude. Or so they thought.

When Liam approached Leigh-Anne, she hopped onto her feet and screeched, "LIIIAAAAMMM! HARRYY YOU'RE FINALLY HERE!" Leigh-Anne went over to hugged Harry and Liam. Liam instinctively scrunched his nose when the smell of alcohol from Leigh-Anne's mouth hits him. Liam and Harry stared at each other and sighed. This was not what they expected. They expected to have some drinks with the girls and some chinwag. But drunk Little Mix had a lot of times, proven to be one of the hardest people they had encountered.
