You see, as far as chaos could go, I'm pretty sure you haven't reached the "Little Mix," level of it.

Leigh-Anne stares at her car as Sairah helps her load her stuff inside the boot, playing with the ring on her finger. She's been too attached to her family and their two dogs at home for the past months so staying away from them for weeks would be hard.

"This is unfair. I couldn't even bring Harvey or Kyro!" She groans, rolling her eyes as her sister chuckles, her eyes settling on the ring, "Hey, at least you're going to be with your fiance."

Leigh scoffs, "Who I have to pick up, too. God, if only we lived together during this pandemic." She mutters. You see, she and Jesy have been living together but unfortunately, before all of this started, they went home to their families.

So they had no choice but to stay there. And the only times they got together was once a week, including their little holiday in Greece where she had proposed.

"Bye, babies! I'll see you soon." She bids goodbye to her two dogs before driving off, the sudden wave of anxiousness filling her. If she runs over someone, you can't blame her.

Right from the other side of town, Jade Thirlwall sat on her luggage as she waited for her bandmate, rolling her eyes when she saw her speeding down the road, one hand on the wheel and a bagel on the other.

Typical Perrie.

"Am I late?" She asks, getting off the car as she greets her bandmate with a quick hug, pulling her mask over her face as she exchanges her bagel for the girl's bags, placing it inside the vehicle along with her own stuff.

Jade smiles, muttering a small thank you as she reaches for the door, only for her to be cut off by the blonde opening it for her, she hums, "How gentlewomanly of you." She teases with a smirk, despite being it unseen under her mask, Perrie could sense the smirk on her tone.

"It's called being a decent person, Jadey." She retorts, closing the door before entering the driver's seat, she notices the way Jade grasps on to the grab handle of the car, she stares at her, a little offended. "Jade, I'm not gonna crash the car."

"Really? Remember when you and Leigh-Anne nearly crashed on to each other?" She responds, clutching the handle tighter once the blonde starts to accelerate, she chuckles, "I think you forgot that she nearly crashed on to me."

Jade had no response but to scream once the blonde sped up, taking a sharp turn on the block before they headed to their new home for the next few weeks.

It took them only a few minutes, maybe even faster than that if not for the traffic before they had reached the small neighborhood, even seeing some of the members of the bands that would compete walking around with each other inside their little bubble.

"Are we living with Leigh-Anne and Jesy?" Perrie asks, taking one more look at the GPS to make sure she was going in the right way when Jade nods, sighing as she lowered her mask, "The constant noise we have to live through, Jesus Christ."

Perrie winces, suddenly realizing what the brunette had meant when she takes one of her hands, the other staying on the wheel.

It takes Jade a moment to process it, her face heating up at the sudden gesture of the blonde, she clears her throat. "You really want us to crash, yeah?" She chuckles nervously as Perrie hums, actually intertwining her fingers with the slightly older Geordie as she stops, letting the two women of their mixed band go through as she waves at them, smiling.

"No, I just really wanted to hold your hand." She replies, now turning to Jade, a genuine smile etched on her face as the brunette's heart leapt on her throat, unable to form a verbal response.
