A tale in which Jade and Perrie don't exactly get along.

It's their senior year of high school, and Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards, or Jerrie, as their friends like to call them, are one hundred percent positive that they'll be together forever. After taking a crucial step in their relationship, things seem to be running as perfectly as they could possibly be. The moral of this story: seven years is a hell of a lot of time.

Intoxicated. Hollow. Insane. Fake. Charming. Dangerous. Words that sum up Jade Thirlwall, child of a drug addicted ex-rocker. Perrie Edwards is a good puppet. She does what they tell her to - act, smile, talk, lipsync - whatever it takes to pull in money. She's not going to go back to her old life again. Curiosity kills the cat. But Perrie's perplexed by Jade, curious about the girl that possibly hides behind the emotionless exterior, curious if she can save a broken soul. What she doesn't know is, maybe some people just don't have souls. Maybe they're just empty inside. Or maybe...they need something, someone, to ignite the fire inside them and bring them back to life. Smoke and Mirrors ©skepticynicism 2016

Jade could listen to Perrie talk all day. Well, it's the only thing she can do, really.

She should call Jed. She should call the person who loves Jade the most. The problem is she cant. Because she's starting to wonder if that person is him, or someone else a lot closer to home. or the one where Jade falls off stage and Perrie takes a fall of a different kind...
