Don't Forget You're Mine || Jerrie

15

A/n: I've been having a bit of a problem with the chapters lately. There's a lot of stuff to fit in and I end up making several updates about the same date/very close dates, and not much happens in every update. So I want to maybe try out something new. What would you guys prefer?

1- Chapters remaining as long as they have been up until now, which will lead to a larger number of chapters in general.

OR

2- Longer, more eventful chapters, like this one. That means fewer chapters overall.

-Either way, the plot will remain as I've planned-

This chapter is really long, because it just wouldn't make sense to split it up into shorter updates. I personally prefer longer chapters, but this decision is completely up to you.

Feel free to read this chapter, see how it goes, and then come back here to answer based on your experience.
Enjoy!

Perrie struggles to keep her eyes open as the gentle rocking of the cab makes her feel secured. She is on her way to the Vevo and Spotify UK headquarters, where Jade, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and her will be interviewed, and will also be attending a meeting with their label and a few representatives of Spotify. Perrie has the reputation of a very talkative, bubbly person, though in days such as today, these titles feel like a lot of pressure. She is tired of everything that is going on in her life right now. All she wants to do is shut her eyes and disconnect from it all. She feels somewhat isolated, like no one can understand her right now.

Perrie is well aware of the fact that things with Jade are not going as she had expected and hoped. She cannot tell whether Jade's pace is too fast or if she herself is moving too slow, but either way, it is not working. Jade is too far in, and it only makes Perrie recoil from this whole thing.

Lately, she has begun developing an issue with falling asleep at night. Even though she is exhausted after long days of work, she lies in bed with her eyes open, unable to fade into sleep. With the busy work schedule Perrie has, it is only during nighttime when she finally has time to really ponder where she is currently standing at, regarding of Jade. How is she supposed to untie this mess she created?

The nights are long and tiring. Since no one but the four members of Little Mix knows about her relationship with Jade, Perrie has nobody to talk about it with. Jade made it clear in the past that she does not want Perrie to talk about their relationship with Jesy or Leigh-Anne, which makes everything very difficult. Perrie cannot consult with anyone nor vent, and feels completely alone. If that is not enough, she sees Jade almost every day. She watches herself destroy everything they built so far; beyond their relationship, their friendship is taking the hit and is slowly becoming increasingly wounded.

The sole action of waking up today made Perrie irritated. She stayed in bed after hitting the snooze button too many times, and then Hatchi began barking and climbing onto her bed. Perrie knew that he is demanding to go on a morning walk, which is a reasonable request, considering the fact that he cannot pee in the hotel room. Yet she could not help but become angry and frustrated. Back when she lived with Zayn, they would let Hatchi go to their back yard every morning, which saved lots of time and efforts. Since she is not able to do that anymore, she got dressed, latched the leash onto her Pomeranian's collar, and led them both outside.

Ten minutes later they were both back in the hotel room, where Perrie made herself a cup of coffee in the small kitchen. She was not focused on her actions due to the lack of sleep she has been experiencing, and as a result of that, she spilt the drink all over her shirt. She had to change into a different top, which only made her be more annoyed, since she does not have a washing machine in her uncomfortable, temporary home so doing the laundry has become a complicated task.
