Perrie stormed into the art room, grabbing her artwork and plopping down at an empty table. The students currently at work all glanced at Perrie as she made the sudden noise, but eventually they all returned to their work. It made Perrie even angrier than she already was that no one cared enough to come ask her what’s up.
Perrie figured that was the worst part about her loner lifestyle. She had no one to turn to. Instead of venting her emotions, she just let them all bottle up inside of her until she burst like she had right now.
Of course Perrie was in a mood because of something related to Jade. That was really the only thing that ever got her this infuriated anymore. It always came down to Jade. What always added to Perrie’s anger was the fact that Perrie was still so easily influenced by a girl that had moved on such a long time ago. Jade probably didn’t even think about Perrie anymore, and here Perrie was, fuming over something related to the girl.
The source of Perrie’s anger came in the form of Liam. Liam had ruined something for Perrie, and she was so upset about it.
Perrie had been so absorbed in the piece she was playing on the piano that she hadn’t even heard Liam enter the music room. Her fingers glided over the keys effortlessly. Perrie had gotten extremely good. Sometimes other students would come in just to listen to her play. A lot of people said they found her music relaxing. Perrie was just starting to write her own stuff as well.
The piece Perrie had been playing accompanied a somewhat popular song, so Liam must have picked up on what it was. Everyone knew Liam was a singer, but Perrie had never heard him sing before.
As Perrie was playing, she heard a pleasant voice start to sing lyrics. The lyrics to the song. She opened her eyes to see Liam grinning at her as he sang. Perrie hated the confident look on his face. He probably thought he was the greatest singer out there.
Perrie really did try to continue. She had hoped that Liam would pick up on the death glare she was giving him and get the hint that he should leave. He didn’t though, and every second that ticked by, Perrie was reminded more and more of Jade.
Perrie was pissed because this was one of her only places to escape her thoughts of the brunette beauty. Perrie came her to forget about Jade for a short time, not hang out with the guy that had her heart.
Perrie knew she would never be able to look at the music room the same way again. Liam had come in and ruined it for her. He obviously hadn’t done it on purpose, but the thought still angered Perrie. At least Liam hadn’t brought Jade with him this time. If he had brought Jade, Perrie would have probably just given up and cried on the spot.
Liam’s arrogant smile never left his face. Perrie didn’t think she could be more infuriated, but then Liam leaned down on the piano in a way that his inner forearms were facing her and his hands were turned backwards grasping the edge of the piano. That’s when Perrie saw it.
In the crook that was the inside of Liam’s elbow sat a small tattoo. It wasn’t that big, and that’s why Perrie hadn’t noticed it yet. It wasn’t bold and attention grabbing like the arrows he had running up the outside of his right forearm.
Before Perrie really focused on it, it just looked like a little green circle. After giving it a more thorough inspection, Perrie figured out that it was a small green stone.
It’s an actual jade.
Perrie wasn’t really sure if this was anger coursing through her anymore, or just complete sadness. Tattoos are serious. They’re basically permanent. Liam had dedicated a part of his skin to Jade. That was complete commitment and faith in an everlasting relationship. Liam was Jade’s and Jade was Liam’s. Jade loved Liam enough to spend the rest of her life with him. Perrie would never get to be with Jade.
