Jade p.o.v.

It was a long night after performing on the LM5 tour and we were all exhausted. Leigh especially because it was her birthday and she couldn't travel to see him, and he was at a football match, unable to come to visit. So they FaceTimed all throughout the day before the show, unaware of my feelings towards Leigh, blissfully caught up in their own world. It was around 1 am and we heading back to the bus to unwind and get a little sleep on the way to Amsterdam.

The girls and I walked back together, Leigh a little (a lot) down at Andre not being able to be with her on her 28th birthday. Leigh's shoulders sagged downwards in defeat after trying and failing to contact him for the umpteenth time after the show. Little did she know, Andre was waiting for her inside the tour bus as a surprise. He had contacted me knowing I was closer to her than the other girls, and I helped him get inside the bus beforehand, claiming to take a panic poo right before the show. (A/n: don't @ me, Jade was nicknamed Poppey for a reason :p)

When we reached the bus, Leigh was the last one to come in, and when she did, Andre was nowhere to be seen. We hid him in the back where nobody really pays attention to, and right when she started calling Andre one more time before going to bed, his phone rang out and he stepped out of the shadows, to Leigh's utter surprise and delight. She looked at us, looked back at Andre, looked back at us, and then finally back at Andre. When she realized he was really there she attacked him with a koala hug and things went down really fast. (And by really fast I mean really fast. Plus I don't write smut so no Leandre smut scene for you.)

We let Leigh and Andre take the biggest bed because they're going to sleep together and do more of the dirty (again no Leandre smut for you). Jesy and Perrie bid their good night's to me and headed off to their bunks. I stayed up for about another half hour reading some fanfics online (shoutout to @That_Flemis_22, go check them out) and climbed into my bed with my headphones and my sleeping music playlist open and ready to play. I nearly fell asleep when I was jolted awake from my half-asleep state with Leigh's, dare I say it, melodic shrieks and moans coming from the master bedroom,nearly perfect pitch, but moaning Andre's name. I closed my eyes and tried to drown it out with my still-playing music, but eventually, I just gave up and tried to fall asleep with a pillow clamped tightly over my pounding head.

No, Jade, you shouldn't be thinking these thoughts about your band mate. But what if she was the one moaning my na- no I shouldn't think about this, she's only my band mate and best friend, never anything else. Besides, if she found out, she would probably cease all contact with me and be weirded out. And I can't ruin our friendship and the band by admitting my feeling.

So I pushed down all the feelings running through my head and switched my music playlist to the one I reserved for these kinds of nights: sadness and longing. A song I was vaguely familiar with came in and triggered memories of the past.

Flashback

It was a stressful day. When recording at the studio, I couldn't concentrate on hitting the notes I wanted to, I ran out of my sleeping pills and couldn't sleep the night before, this making me snappy throughout the day and earning glances from the people I cared about the most. And to top it all off, Leigh-Anne walked into the studio looking stunning as always but in nothing a tiny sports bra and a pair of low-waisted sweats that were probably Andrea's and my jaw dropped. As she looked my way I quickly picked my jaw off the ground and turned away, pretending to be engrossed in writing some lyrics. I didn't dare look up and risk outing myself, so I started writing some lyrics.
