Perrie's POV

"What the hell is going on here?" - Leigh screams.

I pull away from Jesy immediately as they approach us.

"You.." - Jade says, pointing to me. "And you.." - she does the same with Jesy. "What the fuck?"

Both me and Jesy are now silent. Neither of us speaks up. Neither of us knows how to start explaining our best friends what's going on between us.

"Say something for God's sake!" - Leigh exclaims.

"Uh..well.. we.." - Jesy starts and looks at me. I nod in approval and she takes my hand. "We're together.." - she says.

"Together? As a couple?" - Jade is still shocked.

"Yes.. we're a couple.." - I say quietly.

"What..? But.. how? When?"

"Jade give them a minute. Look how pale they are. We bloody scared them." - Leigh says and passes a bottle of water and a candy bar to each of us.

"I can't believe this.. You kept this away from us?"

"We're sorry.. We didn't wanna say anything until we're sure what we are.." - I say, stuttering halfway.

"It's okay Pez, we get it" - Leigh sighs, sitting down.

"I hope you're not mad at us.." - Jesy says.

"We're not mad. Not all. We'd never judge you" - Jade assures us.

Jesy sits down on the sofa and pulls me with her. I smile and sit next to her, leaning on her. She wraps her arm around my waist.

"This is so unreal, but you two are so cute" - Leigh squeals.

"Yeah, you've always been this close, but this is different. You guys are a couple" - Jade points out.

"Well.. we're not official yet.." - I mumble as I look at Jesy.

"Yeah.. I mean, we don't wanna rush into anything.. right?"

"Yeah, we'll just see how it goes"

Hours pass and after we finished a couple of songs, we all decided to spend more time together out of the studio. Leigh invited all of us at her house and we gladly accepted. We ordered a lot of food and got settled in her cinema room. Me and Jesy decided to share one of Leigh's comfy chairs, there's enough space for both of us. She hugs me before she lays her head on my stomach, allowing me to play with her hair.

*Three month later*

It's been three whole months since me and Jesy got together, and today is our first performance in front of the fans. We decided to come out to them, and to the whole world. I'm coming out as bisexual, and Jesy recently realised that she's a lesbian, the idea of dating men to her is just wrong. It's going to be hard, we're going to get criticized, we're going to have hate and insults thrown at us every now and then. But none of it matters because we're proud of who we are. In the past month, we explored more about our sexuality and what we feel just makes sense. Love is something every human can feel, but it's still different when it comes to expressing it. 

We've had this performance planned months ago. It'll be during the pride parade in the centre of London. We're going to perform some songs to show our endless support towards the LGBT+ community, like Only you, Wings, I won't, Power, Monster in me, and of course, our ultimate anthem, Secret love song. That's our opening song, and we're closing the show with Only you. That'll be mine and Jesy's moment.
