Jade's POV

22 February 2017

Gosh I am so nervous.

I have been for a while, actually, ever since I knew we only got a couple days to rehearse for the Brits since we were touring in the US, and what made it worse was we got the wrong backing track. We barely had time to practise our dance routine and there is another thing we had to worry about...great. The dread of not having enough time to pull out the best performance was too much and was getting to the point where I was having a breakdown at rehearsal, but luckily things got better and we got the track and choreography right before the actual performance.

However, I still feel under-rehearsed and the fear of messing it up is huge, and the fact that we are opening for the show doesn't help at all, not even me being dressed up like Beyoncé could boost up my confidence...I am soooo scared

I didn't realize I was shaking until she was holding me, her strong arms wrapped me around like a comfort blanket, momentarily soothing my frantic heartbeats that caused by the anxiety and uncertainty, the same way she helped me recovered from my breakdown days ago.

"Don't stress yourself so much, you can do it babe."

Her voice was so calm and encouraging. She might always be the most childish and enthusiastic one in the group, but she could be so mature and reliable at times, especially when she knew I need her. I knew deep down she might feel uneasy too, considering how nervous she was last year, but she is considerate enough not to show it and be the stronger one when I was in this state

"I just hope it will go well Pez"

I whimpered and buried my face in the crook of her neck, taking in her intoxicated sweet scent that eases every nerve inside my body.

"It will go well Jade...just like last time, remember?" She whispered and softly rubbed my back.

I smiled, recalling the same conversation we had last year, only with our roles reversed.

"Thank you" I muttered, feeling my usual confidence coming back

"Anytime" She kissed my head.

I spent another minute relishing her warm embrace, then reluctantly pulled away because I knew the longer I stayed in her arms, the more difficult and unwilling for me to do so, time clearly didn't allow us as we were about to go on stage so it would have to wait. I cupped her cheeks and peered into those beautiful blue eyes that I would forever admire

"I love you" 

I breathed out, and soon I felt her soft lips against my own making my heart leaps

"I love you too"

She mumbled before our lips detached, with a goofy toothy grin on her face, my thumb brushed at the cute dimple that had made an appearance

"Awwwwwww"

I turned my head to see Leigh was watching us in awe.

"And you told me not to interrupt the lovebirds..."

Jesy rolled her eyes at Leigh, but her expression quickly changed when she turned to look at us with a genuine smile, which rarely happened because she always seems to be disgusted at our affection.

"Are you ready to smash the performance now Beyoncé ?" Jesy asked me with a lopsided smile

"Hell yeah" I flipped my hair cockily, feeling like the queen herself and ready to deliver a killer performance
