"Weren't we clear? Explain. Go on." Leigh says brashly, crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes in hopes that it would break the two, Jade tries hiding away but Jesy already has a fixated glare on her best friend.

The blonde gulps, making her collar loose as she clears her throat, "Um, Jes, this is Jade, my— my wife." She answers silently, the ginger frowns while the girl beside her sighs, staring at Jade.

"But why?"

"Why not? We all only live once." Jade trails off, shrugging, attempting to sound confident about her decisions but Leigh can see right through her. She sounded convincing and she looked like it as well but she knew better.

"This is about her father, isn't it?" Leigh mutters, shifting her gaze from the brunette to the blonde as Perrie sits upright, nodding her head, "Uh, well, honestly, yeah."

"She roped you into this and you said yes?" Jesy asks incredulously, knowing damn well that Perrie Louise Edwards wouldn't do such an impulsive thing when the blonde just shrugs, smiling at the smaller girl fondly.

Something was up. Not that it's a bad thing but something was definitely up and the two weren't telling them about it.

"You're lyi—"

"Stop with the bullsh—"

Leigh and Jesy glare at each other, kinda annoyed that the other started speaking when they did as Jade and Perrie stared at them, Jesy grumbles, letting Leigh-Anne speak first.

"What I was trying to say before I was rudely interrupted was that children can lie better than you two."

It took them seconds to answer, Perrie sighs, leaning forward and closer towards the afro haired girl as she clears her throat, "Well— Jade and I decided to stay married because of her dad."

"I told you." Leigh scoffs, shaking her head as she stands up, "Get up. We're going home and we're sorting this out." She mutters as she starts walking away, Jade furrows her eyebrows, "No the hell we aren't! Leigh, we're staging this marriage for a reason. You can't stop that."

"Who said anything about stopping?"

Leigh was quick to call for a car, taking them straight to the airport as they asked for Louis and Zayn to pick up Perrie and Jade's stuff, Jesy just gawks at her in fascination.

Just when she was about to speak and tell the girl that she was sorry for annoying and doubting her earlier, the radio started blaring, wincing, Leigh began to adjust the volume.

"Pop Sensation Jade Thirlwall seen in Las Vegas With Edwards Technologies Heir, Perrie Edwards?"

"Oh no." Leigh grimaces as Perrie stares at the speakers, Jade just sits there, a devilish grin slowly making it on her face as she tunes in, listening to the report more and more.

"The pair was seen roaming around the city earlier. Fans assume that there was more than just a friendship between the two. A fan from Twitter said, "no one else expected this duo and nobody should question it. dating or not, i want it. give it to me," with the leaked photos of the two."

"When that fan discovers that you lot are married then what?" Jesy chuckles, earning a small laugh from her best friend's wife as she leans back, noticing the small tug on Leigh's lips

"We run and change our identities, that's what. This— wow this is bad. Your father would die." Leigh mutters disbelievingly as Perrie hums, "Why is it bad? It's not like I'm the company CEO or anything." She mumbles shyly, eyes shifting from the ground to the brunette beside her, Jade giggles.

"So, that's why your name sounded so familiar." She smiles as the blonde shrugs, looking up, a bit scared that the brunette would start looking at her differently.

She doesn't. She still has the same look she gave her since the night before. The same sweet smile, the comforting presence. She wasn't mad. She wasn't disappointed.

"Yeah?" She asks, Jade nods.

"You got two siblings, right? And you date a new girl every two months?" Jade teases. You see, she knew, well heard, a lot from the blonde and everything just came in crashing on her.

Perrie was an Edwards, she was an heir. Perrie was also reckless. She knew that now. And it makes her want to keep her longer.

"That's not true. The bitch doesn't even get off of her ass unless I tell her to!" Jesy chuckles as Perrie gawks at her, "Excuse me? I feed Hatchi and Travis— Hatchi and Travis." She trails off, nearly throwing herself out of the vehicle as she remembers her sons.

Well, her dogs but you get my point.

"Please don't tell me that you got kids, as well." Leigh grumbles, clutching her head in stress as the blonde laughs dryly, throwing Jesy a glare before she tries comforting the afro haired girl, "Leigh-Anne, right? I-I'm sorry you got caught up in this mess and I can't promise you anything right now except the fact that Hatchi and Travis are dogs."

"Thank god." She replies with a small laugh as she takes Perrie's hand, "You two are screwed the moment we land home. I texted the boys, they're on their way. I- where are you two staying?"

At the girl's question, Jade clears her throat as she pulls Perrie aside, "Should we calm the media down before we parade the streets of London as a married couple?" She asks, suddenly realizing how much it would take for them to even go through the cameras freely, Perrie sighs.

"Yeah, I think we should take it slow." She answers with a nod when Jesy scoffs, "Says you, Mrs. I Got Married In Vegas." She smirks as Leigh-Anne giggles, Jade flushes crimson.

There was something about their little group that made her so— so comfortable. So happy that there were no words able to explain it.

Not that she knew them well with the exception of Leigh-Anne but, it felt nice. Jade felt complete.

It's as if this little mix of people just made her whole. Much like how puzzle pieces complete each other.

She didn't know it yet, but, she'd be glad they're in her life. Married to Perrie or not, she's glad she met them. And thankfully, the feeling was mutual.

Because as of now, Perrie, Leigh and Jesy had no idea what they would do, where they would go and who they would talk to during this situation.

Perrie was an Edwards, more reasons to piss SImon off. More reasons for Jade to keep her around. I mean, what's life without taking a little risk?
