Perrie was on her balcony. She felt very comfortable in this country and she was glad that no one seemed to know her here since it was such a small village. One year ago, Perrie decided to disappear. She talked to her management and begged them to let her go and they actually did. She signed a contract and her management helped her to find a new identity and a new home. It may sound overdramatic, but she just wanted to escape. Perrie couldn't take it anymore. She wanted to start over, forget about everything that had happened the past year. So her management made up a story about Perrie disappearing and the media seemed to buy it, and Jade and the others too. Leigh and Jesy were devastated. They looked everywhere for her, tried to call her, but nothing worked. Perrie got a new number, a new look, - a new life. Now she was living in a small village in Germany. Little Mix may be very popular in Germany, but her management made sure that she'd be in a small town where nobody would find her.
When the 'police' couldn't find Perrie, her friends gave up. Zayn and Selena were the first ones to do so, though. Leigh and Jesy wanted to keep searching, but eventually they gave up too. And Jade? Jade didn't want to give up, but she had to at some point. Though, she still had the feeling that Perrie was out there somewhere and not 'dead' as everyone else might thought. For the Fans, Perrie was 'missing'. No Twitter, no Instagram. Perrie was gone.
Now her name was Louise. She was 23 years old and she had brunette hair. Perrie had to change her hair. Otherwise people would have noticed her. She actually learned a lot of german due to the fact that she's been in germany for only a year. It wasn't easy, but she remembered having german in school, which is why it was a little easier for her. Of course, she couldn't speak german without having an accent, but that didn't bother her. She'd tell her neighbors that she moved from her home country, france, to germany because of her family. Her neighbors bought that and started to like her from day one. Perrie also made a few friends over the year. She started to work in a little coffee shop along side one of her friends, Maria. Although she was very happy about the second chance that she got, she felt bad for leaving Leigh, Jesy and the others behind. She should've at least told one of them. Though, she knew if she'd have done this, all of them would have known about her disappearing sooner or later. She didn't want to risk it.
Little Mix was doing a break due to Perrie's disappearing. There was no sign of the blonde whatsoever and someday Leigh and Jesy were sure that their blonde best friend wasn't coming back. They always said that it was their fault. That they shouldn't have left her like that, that they should've been more careful. All of these one night stands and partys were too much and they knew that, which is why they think it's their fault she disappeared. And Jade? Jade couldn't sleep, couldn't eat. She was a real mess. After she told Leigh about the ring and that she remembered everything, Leigh just hugged her.
Also, Jade and Heather broke up the moment Jade realized she was being a real psycho. It might took Jade a while, 'till Heather was in front of her with a knive, to realize who she really was, but at least she realized who that bitch really was. But the fact that Jade now knew everything, but, once again, her blonde beauty wasn't there, was making her feel very depressed. Jade finished her first album and published it, too. Music helped her a lot. Though, even after a year, she still was hung up on Perrie. She knew the blonde was somewhere and she needed to let her know how much she loved her and how much she wants her to become her wife.
When it was around 8am, Perrie went to work. She actually loved working in a coffee shop. It was less stressfull and it was great that the only people that knew you were the customers.
Meanwhile, Jade and Leigh were back in the recording studio. They were working on Jade's second album already, though, her first one just came out a while ago. Jesy was about to join them later on. Today marked one year since Perrie disappeard and despite the fact that they didn't want to stop living their lives, they still wanted to be together for this day. Perrie was their best friend, friend and lover. They all loved her. Zayn and Selena would spent it alone in LA where they were living now. At first, Zayn was going crazy for a few months because of Perrie and it was a really hard time for him and Selena, but they eventually got through it together and now they were happier than ever. After all; Perrie was their best friend and Selena totally got why Zayn was being like this. He lost his first love.
The moment Perrie went into the coffee shop she was working in she felt ballons all over her. "What the-"
"Happy one year anniversary!", a familiar voice shouted. It was Maria, her friend and also co-worker.
Perrie was still confused, which is why she just looked around the coffee shop. She then realized that all of her friends were there. Maria, Kim, Sabrina and her best guy friend Tim. Though, no one could replace Zayn. That was sure.
A little smile appeard on her face and she hugged everyone before looking at what they've done. Ballons were everywhere and there was a cake too. "What is all of this?!", Perrie asked speechless.
"Well, it marks one year since you moved here, started to work here and we all became friends with you, Louise. So we wanted to celebrate that.", Kim smiled while throwing another ballon at her brunette friend. Perrie laughed a little.
She was really happy, but the moment she realized that it's really been a year, her mood changed. One year since she moved here, one year since she.. disappeard. The others must be heartbroken today. Perrie tried not to think about them, but to focus on her other friends who threw this amazing little party for her.
"Does that mean I don't have to work today?", Perrie smirked, but that smirk fell as soon as Maria threw Perrie's work apron at her.
"Scratch that. You can start right there.", Maria smirked and pointed at that one table where the familiar cute guy sat. Perrie thought he was pretty, but that was it. No one could replace Jade, but the actual reason she moved here was to forget her brunette ex-girlfriend, which is why Perrie allowed herself to at least have a little crush on him. His name was Christian, he was 22 years old and he was the big brother from Kim. Though, Kim didn't mind him and Perrie, she actually loved the idea. Also, it seemed as if Christian liked Perrie, too. So all Perrie was waiting for was for him to ask her out, 'cause of course, she wouldn't do it.
Perrie hit Maria slightly on the shoulder, "I hate you."
"I love you, too.", Maria laughed and soon Perrie laughed a little too and went over to Christian and his friends.
"Jade? You ready?", Leigh asked as Jade was in the recording booth. Jade just nodded slowly and right after that Leigh turned on the music. Jesy would be there in about ten minutes and she had a special announcement to make.
"So your friend's been telling me
You've been sleeping with my sweater
And that you can't stop missing me
Bet my friend's been telling you
I'm not doing much better
'Cause I'm missing half of me
And being here without you is like I'm waking up to
Only half a blue sky
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a girl at best,
With half an arrow in my chest
I miss everything we do,
I'm half a heart without you"
"Love it!", Leigh smiled, which made Jade laugh for a second. She wrote this song for Perrie. That if she might still be out there, she'd hear it and come back. Though, that's not what Jade told Leigh and Jesy. She told them that she was writing this song to make Perrie justice and to show her endless love for her even if she was gone for good. Leigh loved that and she loved the song. It was a beautiful song. Not up-beat or techno, just.. Emotional.
"Forget all we said that night
No, it doesn't even matter
'Cause we both got split in two
If you could spare an hour or so,
We'll go for lunch down by the river
We can really talk it through
And being here without you is like I'm waking up to
Only half a blue sky
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a girl at best,
With half an arrow in my chest
'Cause I miss everything we do,
I'm half a heart without you
Half a heart without you,
I'm half a heart without you
Though I try to get you out of my head
The truth is I got lost without you
And since then I've been waking up to
Only half a blue sky
Kinda there but not quite
I'm walking around with just one shoe
I'm half a heart without you
I'm half a girl at best,
With half an arrow in my chest
I miss everything we do,
I'm half a heart without you
Without you, without you, half a heart without you
Without you, without you, I'm half a heart without you"
Jesy came while they were still recording, which is why she waited until Jade and Leigh were done. After good forty minutes, Jade came out of the recording booth and back into the recording session room where Jesy and Leigh were already waiting for her.
"You said you got some exciting news.", Jade smiled and sat down next to Jesy while looking at her.
She already had a grin on her face and you could see that she couldn't wait to tell the girls, "Well, me the incredible Jesy Nelson got you, Jade Amelia Thirlwall, to sing in the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin in Germany!"
Jade was clearly surprised. She always wanted to perform in Germany since she didn't have that huge of a fanbase there yet. So this was amazing. "How.. Why and.. How?", Jade stuttered.
"Well, they have this extremely important soccer game there and they still needed a special performance from a popular singer. I talked to your management and we arranged it just a few hours ago."
"This is amazing!", Jade said and hugged Jesy. "Thank you!"
