Heather- Jesy Nelson

"I still remember third of December, me in your sweater."- You sang into the microphone your one hand gripping onto it whilst the other fumbled with the hem of your sweater.

You knew she was in the crowd, her bandmates had told you so. But you couldn't care less as you poured all your emotions into the song you wrote about her.

"You said it looked better on me than it did you."- You continued, the memories the two of you shared that day rushing into your mind.

Feet collided against the white blanket of snow crowding the ground letting a sweet blissful crunch bless the giggling pair's ears. You leaned into the girl slightly as the both of you stop still in a fit of laughter from what Jesy had told you what happened to her while she was on vacation.

You shift so that your front was pressed against hers and bury your head into the crook of her neck your laughter dying down. Jesy wraps her arms around your waist pulling you closer, she bends her knees just barely lifting you off the ground before intentionally falling backwards into the snow.

You let out a shriek at the sudden actions and roll off of the girl. You shivered at the cold feeling the snow gave you as it seeped into your boots and into your thin jacket. You mentally cursed yourself for not wearing anything warmer than the outfit you had on now.

You could tell jesy knew you were cold by her slipping off her cotton green sweater. You say a small thank you as you bury yourself into the warmness of the oversized piece of clothing. A small shade of red-tinted your cheeks as you pull the collar of it up to your nose, breathing in the scent of her Wishmaker perfume.

Jesy pulled on a spare coat from her bag before laying back into the position she was in moments before next to you except this time placing her head onto your shoulder. You could feel your heartbeat quicken drastically to the point you felt like it was going to burst out your chest at any moment given. You hoped to god the brunette couldn't hear it.

"Only if you knew, how much I liked you. But I watch your eyes as she walks by. What a sight for sore eyes, brighter than a blue sky. She's got you mesmerised... while I die."

To the girl, on your shoulder, this action was nothing more than a simple act of showing her friendship to you. She didn't know it meant something else to you.

Jesy turns to face you, her cheek pressed against your shoulder. She continued talking about her trip away, skipping over the part that wound the two of you up into your current position afraid that if she even mutters a single word linked to that moment the two of you would burst into a fit of laughter and she wouldn't be able to ever finish it.

You tried to take in every word the girl was saying while trying to calm your heartbeat, but it was increasingly difficult as it accelerated every time you could feel the hot air slip through her mouth and drip onto your cheek due to how close she was to you.

A small smile grows on your lips as Jesy tries to stifle the small laugh trying to escape as the memory came back to her suddenly. However, your smile soon began to falter as her laughter died down and her eyes were no longer stuck on you but had rather travelled onto something behind you.

You watched as the girl pushed herself up slightly to get a better look at whatever was behind you. A deep red tint forms on her cheeks as she sends a small wave. You turn to who she was waving at and immediately felt your heart drop.

Of course, she would be there.

Her lips were upturned in a toothy smile that showed off her bright white teeth and the little dimples placed neatly at the tip of the corners of her mouth. Her hair was puffed out and looked as though it hadn't been brushed in days, yet she had managed to throw a navy blue beanie on top making it look somewhat decent. She waved back at the girl next to you watching as Jesy gets up off the ground and shakes the snow that had clung onto her clothing for dear life off.

You didn't move from where you were, in fact, all you actually did was hope to god that Jesy wouldn't leave you for the girl. You gazed at the brunette and blonde, observing each one's interaction with one another. They talked and you paid no attention to the conversation but soon regretted it as Jesy took off with the girl muttering a small goodbye to you.

You felt yourself sink further into the blanket of snow- the cold not exactly helping the slow forming crack within your heart.

"Why would you ever kiss me? I'm not even half, as pretty."- Your cheeks began to fade into a hue of pink as your mind immediately leapt into the next memory. Your heart sped up a bit at the imagery and it almost concerned you about how after all this time, just the slightest thought of Jesy still had this much of an effect on you.

Hair laid sprawled against the ruffled cloud-like white satin sheets, while her chest rose heavenly without a care before flattening down releasing the air from between her lips along with the sound that you had always longed to hear. Her eyes were wrenched shut, fists clutching onto the duvet beneath before releasing and opening them along with her eyes.

You had only stopped what you were doing momentarily leaving your hands to rest on the waist of the brunette whilst letting her catch her breath.

You smiled down at her, unbeknownst to what was going to happen next. Jesy lurched forward, almost sending you toppling off her bed but instantly grabs the collar of your shirt refraining from you doing so.

And then her lips were on yours.

You froze for a split second shocked by the girl's actions but still, you had managed to melt into the kiss. Heart pounding, you removed your hands from her waist and gently placed them on her cheeks going to deepen the actions being performed, but in the end, you only ended up jumping back as Jesy ghosts her fingers over the exposed skin of your neck before delving in and attacking the spot where you were most ticklish ultimately breaking the kiss within an instant.

Not a word about that kiss was ever mentioned after that.

"You gave her your sweater. It's just polyester, but you like her better. Wish I were Heather."

The bright screen illuminated your face while you played the single video on repeat. There sat directly in the middle of the couch was Jesy with the girl who had stolen her away from you practically on top of her.

The blonde had her head leant on the brunette's shoulder whilst her hands fiddled with the ones of the girl that made your heart leap out of your chest.

It didn't necessarily take you long to notice the same cotton green sweater that Jesy had leant you on that fateful day, was worn loosely around the blondes' body.

As much as you hated seeing it upon the girl, you couldn't lie to yourself and deny that the girl didn't look good in it- better than you ever would.

Looking back at that distinct memory you couldn't help but bite the inside of your cheek and feel ashamed at how you thought you could stand up against Jesy's bandmate.

The girl was practically the definition of gorgeous. And just seeing her made you feel unworthy of the love of those around you.

"Watch as she stands with her holding your hand, Put your arm 'round her shoulder Now I'm getting colder."

A fake smile grazed your lips as Jesy runs up to you with the blonde in tow. Instantly the brunette throws her arms around you almost sending the both of you tumbling to the floor.

Jesy releases you and then you're taken into yet another hug but this time by Perrie which greatly surprised you. She smelled of your favourite flower, roses. Not wanting to disappoint the girl, you reciprocate her actions bringing your arms to snake around her waist.

The embrace lasted a few more seconds before Perrie broke it going back to stand next to the brunette taking her hand within hers. You felt your jaw clench at the action but still, you gave the two a smile.

Jesy takes their hands and spins Perrie around before leaving her arm to rest around the top of the girl's shoulder. Perrie leans into the brunette's side a pink hue tinting her cheeks.

You raise a brow at the two fearing the worst. Were they dating? Did Perrie successfully take Jesy away from you?

Just as those thoughts had crowded your mind. Jesy had gone and said the words that made your whole world shatter.

"Perrie and I are together"

"Together?"- You question nonchalantly, unsure if you had heard correctly.

Perrie nods a small grin showing on her lips -"We're official"

"I'm so happy for you!"- You reply trying to hide the hurt from showing in your voice.

"We're having a party tonight, you should come"

As much as you didn't want to go, you couldn't bring yourself to tell your best friend no.

"But how could I hate her? She's such an angel But then again, kinda Wish she were dead, as she walks by. What a sight for sore eyes. Brighter than a blue sky. She's got you mesmerized, while I die."

You stared down at the drink in your grasp not really paying any attention to the words the girl in front of you was saying. All you knew was that she was droning on about her new relationship.

You know you should feel happy for her and you really are but a part of you just doesn't want to. But for all you could care was that you hated the blonde for a fact but deep down you knew you couldn't keep a grudge on her for long, as she hadn't done anything exactly wrong.

Jesy heaves out a sigh snapping you out of your intense concentration on your half-filled drink as she presses her back flat against the painted wall careful not to knock the portrait of a pop artist that you just couldn't recognise at first sight.

Her gaze travels around the room until it lands on Perrie who had already held her gaze on the both of you. Jesy broke out into a smile ushering the girl to come and join the two of you.

You divert your gaze back down to your drink not wanting to even spare a glance at the love-struck couple.

The once frantic beat of your heart had been slowly fading out every time you had pictured or seen the two of them together. And maybe that was a good thing- well that's at least what you had thought.

Once again you had been brought out of your thoughts, not by Jesy but by Jade who had swiftly hooked her arm in yours and was now guiding you to the couch that sat in the middle of the room accompanied by Leigh-Anne.

Jade pushed you down onto the chair where you were immediately thrown into a hug by Leigh-Anne. Jade wrapped her arms around you from behind, gently whispering an -"it's going to be okay"

You knew exactly what she was talking about and you couldn't help but let out a choked sob that was drowned out by the music and noise of the party-goers around.

Everything faded out of your mind as you progressed through the song. But each time you had to sing it, those memories rushed back into your mind unfortunately unlocking all the emotions and feelings you had once felt for Jesy every time. At first, you hated it and tried to refrain from singing the song, however, it was no hope as management had put it on your setlist for almost all your shows.

It was then that you had also begun to realise that no matter how hard you tried not to think about the brunette. She was just that one person that you were always going to have feelings for.

jennie kim. cis female. she/her. ／ selina santini just pulled up blasting ain’t it fun by paramore — that song is so them ! you know, for a(n) twenty six year old singer-songwriter and actress, i’ve heard they’re really -soft spoken, but that they make up for it by being so +charming. if i had to choose three things to describe them, i’d probably say gummy smiles, excessive jewelry, birkin bags. here’s to hoping they don’t cause too much trouble ! ( letty, 21, est, they/them )

musician vc: jesy of little mix in equilibrium and billie eilish acting claim: taissa farmiga

°✧∘ — BASICS ❜

full name: selina santini nickname(s): sel, lina, nana gender: cis female age: twenty-six date of birth: 04/20 place of birth: seoul, south korea hometown: london, england ethnicity: korean nationality: british preferred pronouns: she/her sexual orientation: ‘weak for pretty people’ romantic orientation: see above relationship status: single significant other: n/a horoscope: taurus religious affiliation: agnostic level of education: graduated from college (online) occupation: singer (member of equilibrium, vc: jesy nelson and solo vc: billie eilish), songwriter, actress languages spoken: korean, english, spanish, french

°✧∘ — PHYSICAL ❜

face claim: jennie kim height: 5'4 weight: 107lbs eyes: brown tattoos: none piercings: standard lobe piercings scar(s): appendix removal scar, scar on her knee from childhood fall

°✧∘ — DOMESTICS ❜

social class: upper class parents: santinis siblings: sahar santini, seth santini pets: cocker spaniel and pomeranian named buddha and pierre extended family: n/a

selina! my soft lil baby. she was born as lee sunyoung in seoul, south korea to high school sweethearts. her mother unfortunately passed away in childbirth, but her father decided to raise her on his own. when she was four years old, her father fell ill and because he worked so hard to provide for her, he ignored his illness until it was too late and he passed away, leaving her as an orphan.

her only family willing/able to take her in lived in london, so the little four year old was shipped to a new country to live with her aunt. but unbeknownst to everyone else, her aunt had been living with cancer in secret. she knew that she was dying, but she didn’t want her to be placed in the system, so she took her in.

before her sixth birthday, her aunt passed away and she was placed into the system. luckily for her, she was quickly adopted by the santinis (on her sixth birthday, no less! best birthday present)

she struggled to make friends as a child. she struggled with english for her first few years with the santinis, which made her a little insecure with talking to new people. she wasn’t made fun of or anything, she was just a little socially awkward and shy.

like her adoptive siblings, she excelled in most things that she put her mind to. academics, languages, instruments - the santinis didn’t accept anything but the best, and selina worked hard to be the best and make her parents and siblings proud.

she was thirteen when she had her taste of fame though. what started her career was a kids movie that gained a surprising amount of popularity. the movie was basically like the cheetah girls, and the popularity made the company who produced the movie spin a girl group out of it, much like the cheetah girls. they released two albums that were pretty lackluster and didn’t do as well as the company hoped, so they broke up when she was about fifteen.

she was sort of in a lull after that. she had enjoyed performing and wanted to continue doing it, but she didn’t know how to go about that.

luckily for her, in 2011 the company that managed her while she was in her former “group” told her that they were putting together a real group this time and they were interested in having her join it.

bada bing, bada boom, equilibrium was born!!

2011 seemed to be the year of blessings and awesome opportunities for selina, because it was also the year that she got another role starring in the first season of american horror story as violet.

since then, she’s been doing her thing with equilibrium and acting as well, but she wanted to try dipping her toes into her own solo music career, so she released ‘ocean eyes’ back in 2018. people received it well, but she hasn’t released anything since then because she’s a perfectionist and trashes pretty much everything she writes as soon as it’s done lol

personality wise, she’s the quiet type. definitely a people pleaser, and has a bad habit of letting people walk over her because she just wants to keep the peace and make everyone happy

really comes Alive onstage. some people are pretty shocked by how different she is onstage vs offstage

i think that’s it for now?? check out her connections page!! if you wanna plot, drop a like~

Under the cut you will find your roommates! Please know, your roommate is also your SYNC partner for the month of July.

The subject of your thread does not have to be about the Greece trip! Please remember the following:

This is a mandatory thread. We will be keeping track, please do not make us give out strikes :(

Please tag the main in your chatzy, para, gif chat or f2f when you reach at least 8 notes.

Texts also count! Please send your text thread to the main via IM once you reach at least 12 notes since those don’t require as much.

New members coming into the group will be added up until July 10th.

werd. it meme, kayla, with yet another muse. this is my bad bitch josie, lets get to know her shall we

「 ISKRA LAWRENCE, CISFEMALE, TWENTY-FOUR, JESY NELSON. 」┈did you read that latest viral gossip issue on JOSIE PRYOR? she is the VOCALIST in ETHEREAL, one of my favorite POP groups. they’ve been releasing music for ONE YEAR now, but viral gossip has only been talking about them for the last YEAR. get this, i think i heard SHE MARRIED A STRANGER IN LAS VEGAS. they’re known as the THE CATACLYSMIC of the music industry, since they have a rep for being BENEVOLENT but TENACIOUS, but who knows. maybe that will change once they become #1.

firstly im gonna apologize if this is all over the place. im gonna try to organize it but i cant make any promises.

BASICS

full name is josephine iridessa pryor, but goes by josie for the most part

named after her maternal grandfather, joseph.

originally from tallahassee, florida. ur basic suburban middle class white family. one older sister. her mom owned her own bakery and her dad was a paralegal.

ex high school cheerleader

one tough cookie

AESTHETIC

leather jackets, skin tight jeans, fishnets, roses with the thorns still on the stem, red nail polish, fangs, messy hair, scars covered by tattoos, the moon at midnight, high heeled boots, dancing like nobody’s watching, and structured handbags.

HEADCANONS (?)

literally ppl are always like “josie can’t sing. she’s inconsistent.” or “she’s the ugly one” or rlly mean Ugly comments about her body and just general ugly body shaming. like she Knows she’s not the same size as her bandmates but like ???? she loves herself??? it took her a long time to get to this self love level and she loves her girls so she’s always telling people to fuck off

literally gets in trouble with management for telling body shamers in her comments or ppl that are generally rude to her and/or ethereal to fuck off. probably has blocked some accounts (even stan ones sdscdcs) like jesy has

cute but will 1000000000000% fight u if u make her mad, say bad things about ppl she cares about, or start body shaming

body posi, self love, and self care activist and supporter of the #metoo movement as it relates to her past

since her mom had a bakery, she worked there in hs and knows her way with cupcakes

hates wine & has never done hard drugs

i rlly cant stress enough how she will fight anyone and everyone for being an asshole

Straight (shes like my only straight character it’s Wild)

never had a serious relationship because she’s always been guarded but she has been in love, or at least thought it was love

curvy > plus sized bc she is by no means “plus” and knows this. by measurement/fashion standards she is between straight size and plus, so just go with curve/curvy

DETAILS (?)

TRIGGER WARNING FOR BODY/FAT SHAMING & SEXUAL ASSAULT: josie’s curves developed faster than other girls her age, so even in like 6th grade ppl were calling her rlly ugly names because her hips had grown and saying things about her, even going as far as slut shaming and oversexualizing her developing body like gross. around this time someone she thought was a friend would repeatedly touch her without her permission (also she was like 13 and knew absolutely no better than ‘uh he’s my pal so i guess it’s alright if he touches between my legs when i dont want him to). it rlly tore her down and she felt like she was nothing. that low self esteem rlly followed her into high school. the bullying kinda morphed more into unwanted glares from boys, girls calling her a sl*t, and ppl just being generally mean because of her body shape. her sophomore year she tried out for the jv cheerleading squad bc she really just wanted to be involved and have school spirit, plus she had a friend who was doing it. things were rad, she made the team, all was good, she rlly liked it and even wanted to go out for varsity the next year. junior year came around and she was on jv again, but their coach ended up quitting so the trainer stepped in. he was nice to all the girls bc he’d known them and was working with them but rlly this was just grooming tbh, like he kinda made it seem like he was hte only one in their corner if they were having problems. she got a weird feeling from him but folks were just kinda like “eh you’re over-reacting, it was just a hug” but when they went away to cheer camp it was like damn what a change. he got a little bit violent and ut was just generally a Not Fun experience, like yelling at the girls and embarrassing them to the point where other coaches and such were like “uh he needs to chill tf out”. to make everything worse one of the nights he knocked on the door of the room josie was staying in, saying he wanted to talk to her, she let him in and long story short he got handsy. when she told school authorities what happened, it was her word against his, but after testimony from teammates about his behavior at camp and everything, the school gave him an ultimatum: resign or be fired and go to court.. lmao guess which he took. so basically he got away with molesting her and being an abusive bag of dicks. END OF TRIGGER

for a long time she blamed herself bc she thought she was too naive or maybe if she hadn’t opened the door, or it was all her fault and she let it happen. sometimes she still has self doubt moments where she thinks about “but what if....” or she says “at least it wasn’t as bad as...” she’s very passionate about the metoo movement tho, and abusers being held accountable for their actions (no matter their gender or sexuality)

she doesnt really talk about what happened in detail, but she has been vocal about the metoo movement and she stands with her #MeToo sisters because she’s been there

since cheer was like “aha nop never again” senior year she got involved in the drama club. she’d sang in church choir before, but nothing Super Serious. but the fall production of grease really caught her eye, so, she auditioned and voila, Sandy.

after graduation, she started community college in musical theater, still working at the bakery but she fuckin wanted to leave florida (dont... we all??) so she used the money she saved from the bakery, bought a one way bus ticket, and ended up in austin texas... not exactly where she wanted to be, but it was out of florida.

she started singing at bars and trying to get involved with local small theater productions/companies, but that really just was not cutting it. so she asked her dad for some moolah and she moved to los angeles. for a long time she lived in a very very shitty apartment complex (if u rememerbr YEARS ago there was a show on the cw called the complex... it was about struggling young actors/musicians living in one place.. lowkey it was good but it got cancelled before season 2 wow shocker amirite) her agent was kinda bad, like joey’s from friends, but the one thing he got right was booking her an audition for a new girl group that a label was putting together. and boom, ethereal.

AS for the vegas thing lmAO.... i’ve been feeling like it was kind of recent. like, ethereal had already formed or was right at the beginning of the four girls coming together. (i still gotta work out those kinks) but essentially she went to vegas and on a Wild night, married a stranger. all she remembers from the memory clips are they met at the casino, there’s a chapel, back in her hotel room, a charge on her credit card for the honeymoon room service package, and the next morning she woke up alone in bed with a huge fuckin headache and a cheap ring on her finger. she was 22 and dumb. but aint we all?? she’s still technically married, but does NOT wear a ring or talk at all about having a husband because she doesnt know the dude. like literally can’t find him lmao, can’t find him to get that shit annulled or file for divorce. therefore, technically married.

SOME WANTED CONNECTIONS

i dont have a Ton but some that i’d love to have established are a mentor (probably someone who is older or more accustomed to fame), a roommate or ex-roommate (could be multiple), a celebrity crush (again, probably more fmaous), someone she tells everything to (they’d probably know about the vegas thing and her history regarding sexual assualt)

other than that, hmu or like this if u wanna plot??? im down for anything????

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 13/11/2021 (ArrDee, Summer Walker’s ‘Still Over It’, Travis Scott)

Recently, it’s been big week after big week – or maybe the weeks are all blending together. Regardless, we have 11 new arrivals so Adele’s “Easy on Me” is #1 for a fourth week and let’s just get this over with. Welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!

Rundown

We start off as always with the best part of the blog: listing songs. Firstly, we have the notable drop-outs, songs exiting the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after at least five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40. Naturally, with a batch of new arrivals and even some returns, we do have more than a handful of new arrivals, some of which are pretty big hitters. First of all, of course all of the Halloween songs are gone – that’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell, “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett, “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker, Jr. and “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. Secondly, we have a mixed bag of real drop-outs, though I feel like most had a couple more weeks left in them, including “Let Somebody Go” by Coldplay and Selena Gomez, “Fair Trade” by Drake and Travis Scott, both “2k17” and “Wasted” with ArrDee by Digga D, “If You Really Love Me (How Will I Know)” by David Guetta, MistaJam and John Newman, “2055” by Sleepy Hallow, former #1 “No Time to Die” by Billie Eilish dropping out after its second run, “Need to Know” by Doja Cat, “Talk About” by Rain Radio and DJ Craig Gorman and finally, “Heartbreak Anthem” by Galantis, David Guetta and Little Mix. This might just be ACR allowing for the winter season of chart hits to solidify soon, if that ever happens given Adele and Christmas.

Of course, the natural progression of chart seasons doesn’t stop there, as we do have the notable losses – songs dropping five spots or more from their chart position last week. Many of the cases this week are just songs falling because of nonsense piling up above it. This week, they include “STAY” by The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber at #21, “Love Tonight” by Shouse at #26, “Moth to a Flame” by Swedish House Mafia and The Weeknd at #27, “Red Light Green Light” by Digga D at #31, “No Comparison” by D-Block Europe at #33 off of the debut, “24/5” by MimI Webb at #37, “Boyz” by Jesy Nelson featuring Nicki Minaj at #38, “OUT OUT” by Joel Corry and Jax Jones featuring Charli XCX and Saweetie at #39 having ACR fill its prophecy, “good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo at #43, “Life Goes On” by Oliver Tree at #56, “Way 2 Sexy” by Drake, Future and Young Thug at #57 with “Girls Want Girls” featuring Lil Baby at #64, “I DON’T WANT YOU” by Riton and RAYE at #59, “Bad Day” by Justus Bennetts at #63, “Higher Power” by Coldplay at #65, “Kiss My (Uh Oh)” by Anne-Marie and Little Mix at #66, “MONEY” by LISA at #68 and finally, the older Adele songs losing traction slower than you’d think: “When We Were Young” is at #73 and “Someone Like You” is at #74.

Before we get into our gains, there are four returning entries, starting with “You Right” by Doja Cat and The Weeknd at #75, which probably has something to do with the three-song rule and “Need to Know” dropping out yet interestingly enough, The Weeknd actually has FIVE songs as a lead artist on the chart right now, so make of that chart loophole what you will. We also have the return of two ABBA singles thanks to the release of their hologram era album, Voyage, with “I Still Have Faith in You” at #60 and “Don’t Shut Me Down” at #49 – more on ABBA later. Oh, and of course, since it’s early November, you people let Mariah Carey creep in at #69 with “All I Want for Christmas is You”. Does the UK have any willpower?

Okay, so now we have our infinitely more interesting notable gains, though of course there’s not much to discuss on that front in a week like this. We have “Where Are You Now” by Lost Frequencies and Calum Scott at #54, “Do it to It” by ACRAZE gaining big off of the debut to #36 (hope Cherish are getting a big check thanks to this) and “Seventeen Going Under” by Sam Fender kind of inexplicably finding itself at #22. We also have some gains in the top 20, those being “Drive” by Clean Bandit and Topic featuring Wes Nelson getting a boost to #17 thanks to a drill remix featuring Russ Millions, Chip and French the Kid – honestly I hope this trend of drill remixes to unfitting pop songs continues – and “Coming for You” by SwitchOTR and A1 x J1 at #14, though people don’t seem to like how this one flips its sample, which is to be expected. Now for an 11-round review of A-list nonsense, starting with...

NEW ARRIVALS

#67 – “When You Danced with Me” – ABBA

Produced by ABBA

Okay, “A-list” might have been kind. To be fair, people do care about ABBA – the album is at #1 as to be expected of their comeback – but the audience that buys the album is clearly not streaming the music, as their highest entry is just at #49. I can’t blame them for not doing so either, as everything I’ve heard from the album has been plainly cynical and just straight annoying, this song absolutely included with its cheap synth melody that 80s video games could replicate and make sound better, surrounded by a marching band on laxatives and vocal production that sounds ripped from the 70s... which they could have been knowing this new ABBA “reunion” and their production process. With that said, the girls’ voices sound frailer here, and Mr. Ulvaeus claims that the song was written somewhere between 1984 and 1990, influenced by British fairs that encapsulated the folklore of the island. That’s probably why it charted, though he seems to conflict himself by naming both Nordic countries and then Britain, but getting confused to whether it was Scotland, England or Ireland. That’s pretty fitting since this is an ugly nothing of a song, with that MIDI-sounding finale just being atrocious. Oh, and he also said the song was about “leavers and remainers”, which this innocent Swede seems to not really know the connotations of. ABBA supports Brexit, everyone – spread the word.

#61 – “The Motto” – Tiesto and Ava Max

Produced by Tiesto and LOSTBOY

Okay, yeah, “A-list” was being REALLY generous. Regardless, we have a braggadocious cut from Dutch DJ Tiesto and American singer Ava Max, which obviously references Drake’s “The Motto” but seems to somewhat misunderstand the motto. See, Drake and Lil Wayne, in all their insistence that I already know though, did indeed state that the motto was “YOLO”: You Only Live Once. Ava Max, on the other hand, implies that we already know the motto, but never says that motto, so maybe it’s a different motto? If so, can we assume the verses and pre-chorus are the motto? The chorus starts with “That’s the motto”, so that seems like the safest bet to me. I’m definitely overthinking this, but I’d rather focus on that but this garbage heap of a song, reliant on a fart of a vocal loop, Ava Max’s overbearing attempt to have any swagger like she has anything to flex about except a clumsy hairdresser and especially that anti-climactic house drop that I’m getting really sick of. It’s pretty similar to “The Business” but that’s actually the least of its problems. What bothers me most is how long and unchanging this song feels despite its quick tempo and short runtime, probably because groove is lost on Mr. Tiesto and why rely on a faceless pop singer to mask it, especially if it’s Ava Max? Knowing my luck, this’ll be #1 after Mariah Carey. Just watch.

#48 – “Bitter” – Summer Walker with narration by Cardi B

Produced by Amaire Johnson, Arsenio Archer, Boobie, Sean Garrett and London on da Track

Yeah, that’s how she’s credited on the record – Ciara does some narration at the end of the album too. We’ve got three songs from Summer Walker, which is three more than I expected coming from a #5 album by an R&B singer who has never found that much success outside of the States before. I did still like Still Over It fine enough as although I’ve never been that fond of moody R&B albums, especially those lasting over an hour, I found myself pretty enthralled in some of the smoother joints on the album as well as the pure anger dripping from Summer on nearly every song, particularly on this track, “Bitter”, where she is royally pissed at her ex, producer... London on da Track, who happens to have helped produce this song. Given that Summer has denied this, I wouldn’t be surprised if he or his label pulled some BS and got a credit on the track, but he is present throughout the rest of the album too. Regardless, he did a good job providing a fittingly stodgy vocal sample for his ex to pummel him over, as the instrumental combined with Summer’s beautiful harmonies and dreary, meandering deliveries makes the song sound fittingly bitter, particularly in an almost childlike, condescending way that seems really justified given the rumours supposedly spreading around about their relationship and how she predicts London will treat the women in his life with materialist deceit. When the trap beat first comes in during the first verse, it feels like Summer’s audibly slapping London in the face, it’s just great, and the lead up to the second chorus has just as good a vocal performance from Summer. I don’t really get why Cardi B narrates for a minute straight other than delivering a power move as she doesn’t say anything Summer couldn’t but coming from her, it does make sense that she’s ranting about the gossip that comes with fame and advocating using that drama for economic gain by implementing it into her art. No shade there, it just makes perfect sense coming from Cardi and that’s why it’s a good inclusion. Since I’ve discussed what my thoughts are on the record as a whole here for the most part, expect the reviews on Summer tracks to be shorter from now on, though honestly all of the songs that debuted here from the somewhat inconsistent album are great so I’m glad they’re here, even if it’s just for a week.

#47 – “Between Us” – Little Mix

Produced by Tré Jean-Marie

Given this song’s debut performance, it does feel apt for Little Mix to go the “release a greatest hits album and dip” route, not that it didn’t make sense before considering how the group was forced into splitting by tensions I’m sure were bubbling prior but just escalated after Jesy’s exit and the “Boyz” nonsense. I don’t expect a solo career from any of them, and if it does happen, it’ll be like a less successful version of the messy Spice Girls solo output, but that’s just speculation. For now, we have a cutesy song about closing the curtains and saying goodbye but keeping the memories and still caring deeply about each other, except in this case there’s bad blood so it does feel a bit insincere – maybe I would have saved this for the reunion 10 years down the line. Regardless, the song’s fine, I guess, with an unnecessary and very weak trap beat backing what feels like an AI task to make British pop music, and the artificial intelligence mixed backing vocals as you’d expect it would. I like the strings, and honestly the writing isn’t awful, with the references to older Little Mix songs being again, cute and not much else. It reminds me most of One Direction’s “History” from a couple years back, where a teen pop group basically sabotaging itself panics and makes a song that seems to quell all tension whilst simultaneously missing a core member of the group and therefore kind of misunderstanding why a song like this is special. And now back to good music.

#42 – “Ex for a Reason” – Summer Walker and JT from City Girls

Produced by Buddah Bless, Sean Garrett and Boobie

Now this is more like it: finally, some R&B that’s upbeat. It reminds me of that Ghost Town DJ’s era of Atlanta bass and honestly, there’s not a better era of R&B for a song to remind me of since wistful euphoria over dance beats is something I’ll take any day over Auto-Tuned crooning over trap hi-hats, not that that style of R&B can’t be good as it often is. Regardless, it feels like a breath of fresh air to have some R&B that sounds fun, even if really, the song is still as angry as the rest of the album. It’s about toxic possessiveness, where Summer attempts to... kill her partner’s ex – I hope figuratively – so that he never goes back to her since Summer is that much better. The fact that this narrative is developed through wonderful harmonies and bouncy, static percussion makes the song hit that much harder. JT from American rap duo City Girls is here too, explaining some of the justification behind her actions, as apparently the ex has been calling him, and naturally, the only option is shooting her dead. Hey, if you admit to a murder with Sean Garrett backing vocals and dreamy guitar, I’m pretty sure the police just give up.

#41 – “MAFIA” – Travis Scott

Produced by Jahaan Sweet and Boi-1da

Okay, elephant in the room: is Travis Scott going to suffer popularity-wise as a result of the Astrofest crisis? I say probably not, as now Travis is on BBC News, for the wrong reasons but still, he’s there – if Travis wanted to go beyond hip-hop, the marketing shill promotions and causing nine deaths and hundreds of injuries due to shoddy planning, awful security and dismissal of human life – when these people are supposed to be his fans – might just be his way into pop mega-stardom. With that said, I do have hope that Travis faces some consequence for this other than lawsuits he can settle out of court with checks out of the ass, because it really is a disgraceful, poorly-planned event with disastrous consequences and a worthless apology to boot. It is all oh-so convenient that it happens during the roll-out for what sounds like a double album, that being the Dystopia and Utopia project, as Travis had just released a double A-side single as promotion... and in my opinion, they both suck. “MAFIA” is the B-side and whilst marginally better due to its more slick piano-led trap beat, is still mediocre thanks to Travis’ dead-beat delivery about flexing in which nothing of interest is said if you can decipher it and the producers can’t even master a vibe since they cut off his ad-libs too early in the mix like this is the first song they’ve ever produced before. I’ve got to say, the condescending tones of his flexes, reaching Drake levels of mundane, vague ways to say a whole lot of nothing, as well as the bitter, whiny cadence of the verses takes on a whole other level of “piss off” after the tragedy, but it’d be wrong to factor that in since nobody would know that could have happened. It doesn’t make the lyrics any better, though, and given that there’s no MIKE DEAN-led guitar or synth outro to save the day, the song meanders into a half-finished J. Cole chorus and never really bothers to lift itself back up.

#29 – “SAD GIRLS LUV MONEY” – Amaarae and Moliy

Produced by Yinka Bernie

Okay, so we’re in the top 40 now and I was unreasonably excited for this one just because that is a hyperpop song title if I’ve ever seen one, but a top 40 hit from Helix Tears seems too good to be true as this is an Afrobeats track from Ghanian singer Amaarae with help from Moliy that is pretty sweet for what it is, expressing much like Summer Walker and SZA, a blissful refusal to be in love, though in this case, all they want is money to make them happy, yet it kind of trails off and becomes a generic dance song which is unfortunate as it’s a good concept. The song is generally still pretty good despite that, as both deliver cute yet grippingly sarcastic performances, especially Amaarae’s fast-paced dismissal in the outstanding third verse that was actually pretty funny, especially when delivered over bouncy percussion and the cutesy keys. I was wondering why this was charting before I realised that it is in fact due to a remix instead of TikTok as I presumed, as a remix with the all-too-apt Kali Uchis has given this more traction. It makes all too much sense for Kali Uchis to be on this song, given she’s covered content like this before – see “Just a Stranger” – and she does fit perfectly on this beat given her sensual, bilingual delivery, even if it means that Moliy and Amaarae actually re-adjust their verses to deliver ultimately worse ones as well as getting rid of the insanely catchy post-chorus for the most part. It’s really weird for me to think of Kali Uchis as someone who can remix a song and propel it to the top 40 as someone who’s been following her for a while longer, but it’s a long time coming and I’m glad this song is here. I do see it sticking around as well.

#28 – “Smokin’ out the Window” – Silk Sonic

Produced by D’Mile and Bruno Mars

I haven’t listened to the Silk Sonic album yet but trust me, it’s first on the schedule as it’s just come out on the same day as me writing this. After a messy roll-out, the album is finally out and there’s no doubt I’ll probably end up talking more about it next week, and given that Anderson .Paak can rarely do much wrong, and his chemistry with Bruno is pretty solid, I hope to continue to enjoy their output, though with the caveat that maybe the music sounds a bit TOO perfect, shining up the edges of their retro sound that were charmingly left dusty back in the day. This song seems to exist to prove me wrong as the song is all about a woman giving Bruno and .Paak some stress, and you can tell it’s the first thing they wrote together because it seems like they’re throwing around jokes between each other. Bruno Mars’ verse reads like a zany sitcom, where her kids are running around his house like Chuck E. Cheese and conveniently for the rhyme, her ex happened to be a fighter in the UFC. To be fair to all their complaining, it does seem like the woman is using them more for money than any connection but it also does seem like Silk Sonic are bringing back the 70s in terms of the attitudes to women as well – I can’t morally sing along to a chorus essentially translating to “she belongs to the streets”, even if that is probably the intended satire. It does help that they both have a really lighthearted presence, with .Paak being characteristically horny and referencing The Nutty Professor and of course, it helps that the song sounds smooth as all hell with the sweet keys, intro from the legendary from Bootsy Collins... but it does seem a bit jankier than usual, especially in the drums, breaking the mirage in a way that I don’t think was intended. The eccentric and intricate production tricks are still here, though, especially in the harmonies, the clapping accentuating .Paak’s verse and the genius use of brass and drum fills in the chorus, especially the big finale, though this time a bit anti-climactic. I do feel mixed on the song as a whole, actually, which kind of surprised me, but hopefully it’ll work better within the album. .Paak singing “Not to be dramatic, but I want to die” makes the experience worthwhile at least.

#24 – “No Love” – Summer Walker and SZA

Produced by FORTHENIGHT and Sonni

Of all the cuts from Summer Walker, this final one is closest to the stodgier side of R&B that I don’t really like, but it strays away from that just enough with its heavy bass and really minimal trap beat that it still gets a pass from me. That opening bassline is really nice, and both Summer and SZA deliver really convincing performances that are strictly anti-permissive: love is too complicated so just contact them for sex and drugs. Once again, the harmonies are wonderful – really the highlight of this album – but SZA’s verse has just the right amount of petty sass to work, even if it does have a really awkward meander at the end that doesn’t lead into the chorus at all. I do like the line about how all she’s trying to see is the guy’s credit card, and how she regrets not realising that she had designer-quality genitals. By the last verse, however, it does take a turn, as Summer’s partner no longer shows up and after mistreating her in that he never really wanted to take this relationship further, is calling her back and trying to get her attention. It’s a good narrative, even if SZA confuses it a tad with her verse, and the song’s a pretty great way of telling it. The album as a whole was somewhat of a slog at times due to its length not corresponding all too well with the “vibe”-heavy production, to the point where there were few real stand-out tracks, but other than these three, I’d recommend “Unloyal” and “4th Baby Mama”. If those are your thing, the whole album will be too.

#23 – “ESCAPE PLAN” – Travis Scott

Produced by Nik D and OZ

I’m trying not to discuss the tragedy and focus on the music but with song titles like “ESCAPE PLAN” and lyrics like “dying for the chain around my neck, that’s life alert”, he’s not exactly making it easy for me, and hell, why focus on the music when the song gives me nothing to discuss? He refuses to finish his bars in the second verse, thinks Jamaican is a language in the chorus, and in the first verse, bitches about how whilst he’s not trying to embarrass this woman, he’s also releasing a single in which he complains about her not being grateful enough because she wants plastic surgery. He does say it’s to “fix that attitude”, so it does awfully sound like he’s guilt-tripping his partner for hiring a therapist. I won’t speculate, but when you put it against lines about “draining her WAP” and that she doesn’t need a Birkin, just an “encouragement” over a trap beat with preset keys sounding like the first thing to come up when you search “spooky” in Splice, I have no patience for this. Travis can do better, in his music and for his fans, who have every right to be upset. I’m praying for the families struck by the crowd surge event and its consequences, whether that be their kids dying at the event, retained injuries or the suffocation of Houston police and healthcare services, and that’s all that should matter when it comes to Travis Scott.

#20 – “One Right Now” – Post Malone and The Weeknd

Produced by Andrew Bolooki, Brian Lee and Louis Bell

It seems like a far cry from the respective times where these guys were mostly known to hip-hop heads. Surprisingly enough, this is their first collaboration, and it’s going for a similar narrative as “Smokin’ out the Window”, except much more believably sold by these guys as it is by a retro 70s soul throwback. It does mean it’s less charming and more pissy, but that’s nothing new coming from two men who have made their careers based off of being a drunk, unlucky-in-love slob and evil lover-boy respectively = again, no shade, those are just the characters they tend to play. However, this is not a “The Hills”-type trap dirge and is instead a catchy 80s synthpop tune because pop culture moves like a Reagan-era snail, so it does seem like a bizarre choice to have a peppy synthpop chorus about the oddly specific detail that The Weeknd broke his hand on the same wall that he had sex with his ex on, and that she shouldn’t worry because whilst she might be clinging onto this past relationship, Abel’s already got a girl as well as one on the way right now. To be fair to the producers, it’s hardly a “Blinding Lights” rip-off since it’s slower and more of an industrial feeling track, fitting more for Post Malone’s warbling ramble in which I’m pretty sure he self-prostitutes than it is Abel’s falsetto, which seems out of place to me. Since Post and Abel have no chemistry as vocalists or as lyricists because they’re both retelling the same situation happening to them both with little difference, this seems pointless and that it exists just for the sake of it – a cash-grab if you will, existing for the sole purpose of a cool little synth line in the outro.

#5 – “Flowers (Say My Name)” – ArrDee

Produced by LiTek

Despite songs from Post Malone, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Summer Walker and Travis Scott all debuting this week, it seems that not even the biggest stars from stateside can move as many units as humble British driller ArrDee. Okay, maybe humble isn’t the right word given his content, but it is fascinating how out of all songs to debut this week, HIS is the one in the top 10. This new single samples “Flowers” by Sweet Female Attitude, a UK garage classic that hit #2 in the year 2000, being blocked by Craig David. Fun fact: the week that song debuted was a week in which the entire top 5 debuted on the chart that week, with #5 being “The Bad Touch” by the Bloodhound Gang. It was a strange time in pop music, and it’s not one that goes ignored given that “Flowers” has had a resurgence in popularity as of recent. It’s a wonderful song in itself, as an incompetent R&B track by two women who sound like a girl group being flipped into an incessantly infectious UK garage mix is genius, but it has been interpreted to death at this point. It started in 2014 when girl group M.O sampled it in their #49 hit “Dance on My Own”, but really accelerated in 2020 with the release of Nathan Dawe’s house remix featuring Jaykae, which hit #12 in that year. It’s been covered by AJ Tracey, Jorja Smith, Katy B, Bastille and James Arthur, sampled by Krept & Konan and interpolated by PinkPantheress, but it only makes sense for ArrDee to also sample the record as he found out with his bassline-drill experiment “Wasted” with Digga D that actually, adding a bouncy UK garage beat to hardcore rap was a recipe for success. “Flowers (Say My Name)” is in the same lane though instead of gang violence, he uses the song to be a raging misogynist because that seems to be the theme on this episode for whatever reason. I am disappointed that ArrDee raps the chorus as it seems pretty clear that it should be sung in the melody of the original track, which feels especially like a tease when it’s played in chipmunk form under the chorus. In fact, whilst the lyrics are fine given it’s clearly an act, the song is a lot less endearing than “Oliver Twist” given that his delivery is less unique this time around. I like the female backing vocals, though, even if I can’t find for the life of me who actually performed them.

Conclusion

Sheesh, that was long. Okay, so for Best of the Week, I’m tempted to just give Summer Walker everything – the album wasn’t perfect, but it’s far and ahead of everything else here so Best of the Week goes to her and Cardi B for “Bitter”, with an Honourable Mention for Amaarae, Moliy and Kali Uchis on “SAD GIRLS LUV MONEY”. In terms of the worst, it’s really difficult to choose when there’s a lot of disappointment here, but I think “The Motto” by Tiesto and Ava Max is the most pathetic of the tracks – excluding maybe “Flowers” but that’s very much the point there – so I’ll give that Worst of the Week with a Dishonourable Mention being tied between ABBA’s “When You Danced with Me” and either of Travis Scott’s disposable tracks, though I’d say “ESCAPE PLAN” is slightly worse.

For next week, maybe we can expect more Christmas returns, but I’d be quicker to expect more traffic from Taylor Swift’s Red re-recording and Silk Sonic, because if pop music is going anywhere, it’s perpetually going backwards at the same time. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you next week!

6. Flashback's Hurt

Warning: this may contain physical abuse and domestic violence.

January 2018

Jesy's with Perrie for a girls. Jesy was hiding her bruises with her hair and makeup. "I miss hanging with you. We don't hang much since you got with Harry," Perrie asked. "Yeah, I just love spending time with him," Jesy lied. "Did you watch Raw last Monday?" Perrie asked. "Was it Raw 25?" Jesy asked Perrie.

"Yeah. Chris Jericho called Cathy Kelley Sister Tom and put her on his list," Perrie laughed. Jesy started laughing. "She deserves to be on the list," Jesy said. "Also I watched an interview with Xpac and he told those people that Fergal's dating Cathy. Of which wasn't his place to confirm the relationship," Perrie said.

"Wait Fergal and Catherine never confirmed the relationship?" Jesy asked. "Well she gave hints about their relationship, however, he never post pictures or mentioned anything about their relationship. I thought you knew that?" Perrie asked. "So he never confirmed the relationship?" Jesy asked.

"No. He never did," Perrie said. "How do you know that?" Jesy asked. "He told me. Ever since you stopped talking to him, I've been talking to him. He always asks about you," Perrie said. "Oh, I didn't know. What have you been telling him?" Jesy asked. "I told him that you changed ever since you got with Harry," Perrie said.

Jesy sighed angrily. "Why did you tell him that? You don't know anything about me and Harry. You don't!" Jesy yelled. "Whoa! Calm down! You've been lashing out at me, Leigh and Jade," she said. "I'm NOT!!" Jesy yelled again. "Jesy, stop that! Wait, are you and Harry having problems?" she asked.

Jesy sighed and being quiet. Perrie looks at her face. "Jesy, why do you have a bruise on your face?" Perrie asked. Jesy didn't answer Perrie's question. "Jessica, is Harry hurting you?" Perrie asked. Jesy sheds a tear. "Oh my God. Why don't you leave him?" Perrie asked. "I can't...," Jesy said quietly.

Flashback in December

Jesy and Harry were sleeping. Harry was sound asleep. Jesy slowly got out of bed, and heads to her closet quietly, her duffle bag and tries to find her passport. "Looking for something?" Harry's voice. Jesy turns around and Harry has her passport and plane ticket. "I lost my," she paused. "You leaving me?" Harry asked.

Jesy noticed that Harry's got an angrily look. "N-no-no," she started studderig. "Do you want to leave me?" Harry asked. Jesy pushes Harry, trying to run but Harry grabbed her by her hair, pulling her to the window. "Harry, let me go," she yells. "This is the only way you leaving," he yelled. "No no! STOP I'll STAY!" she screams and cries.

"Good girl. If you try to leave me or find out that you are, I swear, that I will continue to make your life a living nightmare or worse," he said, angrily. She nodded with tears. "Now, get back to bed!" he said.

End of Flashback

Perrie held onto Jesy as she cried. "You need to leave him," Perrie said. "How am I suppose to do that?" Jesy asked. "I don't know, I'll think of something," Perrie said. "Don't tell Fergal that Harry's been hurting me," Jesy said. "Fergal needs to know," Perrie said. "Well, its Royal Rumble today. It'll be on around 4 am," Jesy said.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia, PA

Fergal was getting prepared for the Royal Rumble. Everyone's getting ready for the Royal Rumble. Including the Women. Fergal was waiting for Perrie to text him about how Jesy's doing. "Hey MMC tag partner," Mercy said. "Hey, Mercy. Nervous?" he asked. "Yeah. you?" she asked. "Oh yeah," he said.

"You okay tho?" she asked. "Yeah. I have a lot on my mind," he said. "Oh okay. Well, good luck tonight," she said before walking away. Fergal nodded then he checked his phone. Perrie left me texts about Jesy.

He decides to call Perrie and finds a spot to call her. "Hello?" Perrie asked, on the phone. "Per, its Fergal. Is Jesy doing okay?" He asked. "Fergal, there's something that you need to know," she said. "What's going on?" he asked. "Jesy and Harry's relationship is controlling. He controls everything Jesy does," Perrie said.

"I wish I could get her and him to break up but I can't do anything without being around her. If anything worse happens, let me know," he said. "I will. I better let you go. Since you are super busy tonight," she said. "Okay. If I win the Royal Rumble, I'll dedicate my win to Jesy," he said. "Okay. Good luck and have a good night," Perrie said.

Fergal hanged up and headed to the Men's Lockerroom. Before he got to the locker room, he saw Catherine was on her phone. "Hey, babe. Who's on the phone?" Fergal asked. She held her finger to him. "Keep doing what you're doing to her," she whispered in her phone and hangs up.

"Who was that on the phone?" Fergal asked. "No one," she said. Fergal takes her phone and sees 's Harry Byart's name. "Why are you talking to Jesy Nelson's boyfriend?" he asked. "I have no idea what you're talking about!" she yelled at him and taking her phone back. "Are you cheating on me with him?" he asked. "No! Tonight, you are getting your own hotel tonight," she said, walking away.

Three Weeks Later

Jesy was finishing cooking dinner for her and Harry. He opened a bottle of wine. She brought the dinner plates. "How was your day?" she asked. "Same old same old," he said. She nodded. "You?" he asked. "Just recording LM5 stuff," she said.

They finished their dinner. "You done?" she asked. "Yeah," he said. She got her plate and Harry's plate, then picks up the wine bottle. "Where are you going with that?" Harry asked. "I think you had enough to drink," she said.

Harry was getting mad. "I looked at your phone. I saw texts from Catherine Kelley and they are towards me. Why the fuck are you talking to her?" she asked. Harry doesn't answer her. "ANSWER ME!" she yelled. Harry grabbed her by the arm and hits her. Jesy tries to fight him and he pins her to the floor.

"You made me do this!" Harry said as he got aggressive towards her. "Stop, get off me!" she yelled. "Stop fighting me. You want to leave me!" he said. Jesy starts kicking him down below. He groans. Jesy tries to escape him but he grabbed her ankle and starts kicking his face and knocks him out. She ran to her room.

A few minutes later, Jesy cries and grabbing her duffle bag, phone, and her new passport. Harry starts coughing and quietly leaves him, shutting the door. She runs to Perrie's place. She knocks on her door loudly. Perrie opens the door. Jesy cries and panics. "Oh my god, Jesy, did he?" Perrie said. Jesy tells Perrie what happens.

"Thank God, you got out of there," Perrie hugged Jesy. "I can't stay here. Harry will find me here first," Jesy said. "Well, get cleaned up and I'll try to get you a flight to Orlando, FL," Perrie said. Jesy headed to the shower.

Perrie got Jesy some fresh clothes. Jesy got dressed, Perrie put a wig on Jesy's head. "So no one will recognize you," she said. Jesy nodded. "I got you a plane ticket to Orlando, Florida. I called a few of Fergal's friends there," Perrie said. "Who?" she asked. "Razar and Akem. They said they'll keep you safe. You'll be staying with a girl from NXT and I think her name is Lacey," Perrie said.

Jesy nodded. "Lacey Evans. I know who she is. Thank you, Perrie. This is why you're my best friend," she said. "Just call me once you get there and if Harry wonders about you. I'll cover you," she said. Jesy nodded. Jesy grabs her duffle bag. An Uber driver horn honks.

Jesy leaves her phone with Perrie. "Can you get rid of this?" she asked. "Of course," Perrie said. Jesy then heads to the Uber driver, she gets in the car. "Airport please," she said. The car drives her to the airport.

Half an hour later

Jesy's on a plane to Orlando, Florida. She looked out the window, looking down old London. "See you later, London," she mouthed. Then she fell asleep on the plane.

Jesy wakes up in several hours. "Welcome to the Orlando, Florida. Hope you all had a good flight. Welcome to the United States," Flight Attendant said. Jesy got up off the plane with her stuff. She walked through the Passenger's Entrances. She saw a sign with her name. "Razar and Akem?" she asked.

"Yup, thats us," Akem said. "Are you Jesy Nelson?" Razar asked. "Yup. I am," Jesy said. "Okay, well Lacey's waiting for you at her place," Akem said. She nodded and picked up her duffle bag. She followed them. One of them called Perrie, telling her that Jesy's with them and she's safe.

Jesy got settled at Lacey Evans' house. She was in the guest bedroom, laying down.

Meanwhile in New York

Fergal was sleeping in the hotel room since him and Catherine got into an argument. He was looking at his phone, checking Social Media and looking at all of his tweets. His phone vibrates loud. Perrie was texting him.

Perrie: Fergal, is Catherine with you?

Fergal: No I'm in a hotel. We got into an arguement. Why?

Perrie: Jesy's in Orlando, Florida.

Fergal: Why is she there with out you girls?

Perrie: Harry's been making Jesy's life a living hell.

Fergal: What you mean? Wait, is Harry hurting her?

Perrie: He's been abusing her. He's even threaten to kill her if she left him.

Fergal: 😲😠That fucking coward! Where is she staying in Orlando?

Perrie: Razar and Akem picked her up at the airport and she's staying at Lacey Evans' place.

Fergal: Thank God! I might go visit her.

Perrie: You need to. Do you love Jesy?

Fergal: I do love her. I'd do anything to protect her.

Perrie: Then go get her. She always wanted you.

Fergal: Okay. I'll call her.

Perrie: Don't call that phone number. She left it with me. So Harry won't find out where she's at.

Fergal: I'll get her a phone that he can't trace. Thank you, Perrie.

Perrie: You're welcome.

Fergal stopped texting Perrie. He tries to hold his anger as he hears what been happing to Jesy. "Don't worry, Jessica. I won't let him hurt you ever again," he thought to himself. He goes to sleep.
