When she is at work, everything is going so good it almost feels like a dream. These past weeks, all went surprisingly well. The first time the girls listened to Black Magic, it was like something finally fell into place; this song is exactly the fresh sound they needed. Everyone had big expectations from it, but no one could foresee the success this single was set to achieve. Today, less than a month after its release, the girls are preparing to head out to Steam & Rye, a London bar, to celebrate Black Magic conquering the number one spot in the UK chart.
It is a different story when Perrie is home, though. Zayn and her are fighting again, and this time it has been going on for almost a week now. It all started when Perrie came across a picture of her fiancé holding a girl on Twitter. The photo was taken a few months ago, but Zayn and Perrie have never talked about it. The subject of cheating had become somewhat of a taboo in their household, as Perrie is afraid to ask questions she does not want to hear the answers to, and Zayn never brings it up. So last week, when Perrie did say something, both of them didn't know how to react. Zayn became quiet like he always does when he feels there as though trouble is approaching, and Perrie kept pushing him to speak, which is something she has never done before.
That was when all hell broke loose, and Zayn brought up the wedding instead. He said that they do not have time to plan it because Perrie is always busy, and it is never going to happen like that. Perrie fired back, and the heated fight went on for hours. Now, they live in the same house, sleep in the same bed and wear matching rings, but the distance between them is larger than ever. Perrie knows relationships are hard work, but sometimes, this relationship feels like too much to handle. She wishes things could be easier between Zayn and her. They always make up in the end, it is just a matter of time.
Jesy stares at her left hand with much admiration in her eyes as the three girls watch and shower her with compliments. Yesterday, Jake proposed to her before the concert. It was genuinely perfect, with Ed Sheeran playing in the background and Jake kneeling and taking out a small box. Leigh-Anne, Jade and Perrie have been almost as emotional as Jesy last night. They could not be happier for her. Though as Perrie stares at Jesy's engagement ring, she cannot help but be a little jealous. Her own engagement has never been nowhere near as happy as Jake and Jesy's relationship.
"I know it's hard," Jade whispers and takes Perrie's hand in hers. The brunette smiles sadly as their eyes meet. Jade has been single for over an year now, struggling to move on from her relationship with Sam. Perrie does not need to tell her Zayn and her are fighting, Jade can read it in her eyes. The blonde nods as Leigh-Anne's voice fills the room, calling everyone to gather since the cab is outside.
The drive goes by fast, and the four girls step out of the vehicle feeling confident. Perrie had decided she is going to try and have fun tonight, even though she is a bit down. She has not gone out with friends in what feels like forever, and tonight there is a damn good reason to celebrate.
