Chapter Fifty- Four: Not Tomorrow

{Perrie's POV}


We arrive at Holmes Chapel at a quarter past one. Ellie managed to make noies the whole time as Jade and Harry read books to her. Zayn parks outside Anne's house and we all get out of the car. I grab Ellie's capsule and sling the baby bag over my shoulder.


I head over to the others and Harry leads us inside whilst he holds Jade's hand. We make it into the house and into the living room where all of our families are.


There's a whole heap of 'Merry Christmas' wishes filling the room and Zayn and I head over to our parents. I hug my Mum tightly and then my brother. Although we get to talk and I saw her two months ago, I still always miss her like hell!


Jonnie makes me get Ellie out for him so I do and he holds his niece closely as she kicks her legs around whilst he smiles at her and talks to her.


"Oh my gosh your baby!" Gemma yells running over. Within seconds everyone's passing Ellie around and cooing over our two month old. I stand back with Zayn and watch and I feel Zayn's arm slide around my waist and he places a gentle kiss on my forehead.


We're very lucky to have all of these people in our lives!


{Louis' POV}


After lunch, an amazing roast meal by Anne and Robin, we all stand or sit around chatting.


"Let's play football!" Harry yells and quite a few of us charge outside. The other parts of the family come out to watch. I look at he opposition compared to my team. Good! Perrie and Eleanor are on the opposition. Eleanor needs to be on the other team for my proposal and I just want to go against Perrie.


The game starts and we've been playing for ten minutes when I get the ball and go to hit it long but I instead Perrie comes running towards it to tackle me and the ball smacks into her breasts.


"Shit!" She squeals and I crack up walking over. "That bloody hurts." She complains to me as she holds one arm across her breasts to support them. Because she's breast feeding it probably really hurts! Hahaha!


"Least you know why cows moo." I say to her. Harry gasps and suddenly Perrie's leg hits me fair between my legs.


"Oh my flying dog!" I groan and clutch the area I've been hit. I crouch down on the ground and try to ignore the laughs of others as my lower area throbs. "I think this hurts more." I squeal out.


"Been through labour Lou?" Mum calls. I shake my head and all of the Mums and Perrie laugh. "You've been through nothing boy!" Mum yells out again. I groan and the others continue to laugh.


Once I've composed myself again we get the game back underway. When I get the ball and I run towards Eleanor and when she tackles me I do a perfect, realistic fake fall.


Eleanor gasps and bends down near me. "Lou are you okay?" She asks. I nod and Eleanor stands up straight, I on the other hand get onto one knee. Eleanor gives me a completely starstruck look.


"What are you doing?" Harry asks from off to my left.


"What does it look like I'm doing?" I reply and then turn back to face Eleanor who looks really shocked.


"El, we've been together for seven years now and I have had the most amazing time being your boyfriend," I start to recite my speech I practised so many times. "Through all that's happened, especially the hate, you have been strong and that's one of the things I love about you," I smile. "Back in September we were joking with Dani about getting married and things but now I'd like to actually do something about that." I pull the little black box out of my pocket. I open it before Eleanor and she is tearing up.


"Eleanor, will you marry me?" I ask her. She nods and tries to speak but nothing comes out. "Is that a yes?" I ask her.


"Yes." She manages to get out. Yes! She said yes! I stand up and slide the silver ring with one centred diamond onto her left ring finger before standing up and kissing her. Our friends and family cheer and soon we're surrounded in a huge group of people and hugs.


I used to think about when I'd propose to the girl I wanted to marry and I just did and she said YES!

{Ella's POV}


I sit out in the cold night air, with a hot cup of tea in my hand as Asha runs around with the little kids. I feel someone sit down next to me and I look to my left to see Niall.


"Hey El." He kisses my cheek and I smile back. I feel something drop on my head and look up to see snow starting to fall. A white Christmas! Normally the snow doesn't come for another week but it's here today!


Within no time the snow is thick on the ground and the parents start putting coats, gloves and beanies on their kids so they can play in the snow. Once Asha's all rugged up I allow her to go and build snowmen whilst singing 'Do You Wanna Build a Snowman'.


Niall stands in front of me and extends his hand. I take it and Niall pulls me up. He places on hand on my lower back and connects his other hand with mine. I put my unconnected hand onto his shoulder and we start to slow dance, very badly, around in the snow.


Nothing could be more perfect in this moment. This is all I could've ever wanted. An amazing boyfriend or partner, my darling daughter having fun and being around friends.


{Harry's POV}


"Hey Jade," I walk over to the girl cradling a sleeping Ellie. "Um, can we have a word?" I ask dragging her into the privacy of my old room. She's still holding Ellie but this shouldn't take long.


"What's up Hazz?" Jade asks me. I don't know whether she'll be offended or not but it's worth a try.


"Um, what are you doing in two days?" I ask her. I know tomorrow's her birthday and she's going out with the girls, but I'll get to see her in the afternoon.


"Um we have studio for the next week." Jade replies. I groan and rub my chin. Jade gives a confused look. "Is there something wrong with that?" Jade asks.


"No, it's just your always in studio or doing something else." I say, barely audible. Jade gives me a 'really' look. "Not that thats a bad thing it's just your studio days go from eight in the morning until eight at night and you're exhausted when you come home." I explain.


"Um sorry, don't you think that's a bit rich considering you've got the same career as me?" Jade back chats. Okay, I think I've pissed her off.


"No." I reply. "Our management gives us shorter days in the studio!" I say creating more tension between us.


"Harry! We have the same management!" Jade yells. "And plus, don't you think our days will be shorter now that Perrie has Ellie?" Jade reminds me, anger filling her small body.


"Ellie has a father." I reply. Jade shakes her head. "What Jade? Tell me what?" I yell.


"I seriously thought you were different Harry!" Jade growls. "Actually, you were but now your just like most of the other boys the girls and I have dated! Couldn't cope with the pressure of dating someone who works in this industry!" Jade exclaims. "Mind you, considering you do the same job, you should bloody understand it too! Zayn manages!" Jade roars.


"I'm not f**king Zayn!" I yell back. Oops! Small child should not have said that.


"No! I forgot! He actually has a heart and a brain, unlike his band mate and by that I mean you because the others are nice!" Jade yells. Ouch. That hurts a bit but I guess that was her intention.


"You know what! Let's end this because it's a waste of my time!" I screech. Ellie suddenly wakes up and starts crying. Jade growls and goes to hand me Ellie but pulls back.


"Actually, you'll probably tell her she's a waste of your time too. Good evening!" Jade exclaims before walking out of the room.


I follow close behind and everyone's looking when we enter the room. I watch Jade hand the screaming baby to Perrie and then walk outside, Jesy following after her. All eyes are on me and Louis gives me an un- satisfied look.


"Yes Louis?" I ask him, still angry.


"Merry Christmas." Louis mutters and everyone goes back to chatting. What shitty Christmas. Am a total jerk. I just lost the girl I love because I couldn't even deal with her job, which is practically the as mine. Jade's not my girlfriend anymore.


{Liam's POV}


"Why couldn't they have a civilised conversation? Why did Harry have to go and f**k up another relationship?" I ask Leigh- Anne as we sit in the boot of my car. We came out her to have some time alone and away from all the people.


I know Jade probably stirred Harry up a little because that's Jade's personality, but Harry seemed to start that's argument, we heard most of it and Harry explained what happened at the start. He couldn't have just waited a couple of months until he gets to spend so much time on a tour bus with her. That's going to be painful if they don't get back together!


"What's the longest relationship Harry has ever had?" Leigh asks me.


Oh well.... Harry's never really had long relationships, they've always lasted about three months tops and then failed. Jade is definitely the longest and by far the happiest he's ever had.
"Jade." I reply to Leigh- Anne. "They were so happy, I don't get how it all of a sudden fell apart?" I question. Leigh shrugs and we both ponder over this.


Leigh and I end up talking about failed relationships, happy memories, our past holidays, our friends, our families, the tour and so many more things. For the first time in my life I think I've actually connected with a girl who is completely different to me. Maybe next year will hold something for Leigh- Anne and I, but I guess we'll have to wait and see....


'The future starts today. Not tomorrow'
