"Can you believe that, Ariana? Abandoned by his parents and now he's left here to die." Michael states pacing around the hallway.

"It's horrible..." I glance at the little boy named Bela who sits on the other side of the window. He's practically green in the face. "We need to help him." Michael says, taking my hand and walking back into the hospital room.

"Excuse me?" The nurse who originally told us what was wrong with Bela turns around. "We'd like to get Bela as much help as he can get. I can't leave that boy here to die."

The nurse smiles and her and Michael start to discuss a treatment plan for the little boy while I go sit next to him, I start playing with him which puts a bright grin on my face.

Michael comes to our sides and joins in on the fun, when we have to leave, we both give Bela one last hug before being escorted out of the hospital. The paparazzi and fans huddle around us but we manage to get back in the van and are soon on our way back to the hotel.

Michael and I are in Budapest, Hungary specifically for his shooting of his History album teaser, we kind of made it an unofficial tradition to visit the children's hospital in every place we'd go to, this time being Budapest. We would bring diapers, food, toys, anything they could use. Taking me out of my thoughts, I notice Bill pulling into the back of the building. We get out of the van and make our way through the kitchen, it's simply too crowded to even try to push our way through the lobby.

Michael and I go up to our suite and the blaring cheers of the fans are heard from outside the window. They cheer Michael's name as well as mine which makes me smile.

"Watch this." Michael says before grabbing a pen and scribbling on a pillow case, he opens the window and tosses it out, that single pillow case causes pandemonium within the mass amount of people outside.

Michael lingers at the window for awhile, I step next to him which has them roaring even more. Michael and I wave and shout a couple of I love you's before shutting the window for good.

"You know what you did for Bela was incredible, Michael. Today reminded me of why I fell in love with you." His face turns rosy and I pull him into a kiss. "You're going to save that boy's life."

"It was the least I could do, I couldn't just leave knowing I could help him." He says. "We just need to pray that they find a liver fast enough."

"Thank you for bringing me here, Michael. It's so beautiful." I say as I examine the city of Budapest from my chair. Michael surprised me with dinner reservations on the roof top of the hotel, it was not only romantic but it was good to feel like this again. Feel like it was just the two of us and nothing could get in the way of that. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, my love." He peers at the view just like I did before looking back at me. "And we needed this trip. It's always nice to get away from America. I'm thinking of getting a house somewhere in Europe, maybe that place should be here." He sips some wine.

"I'd like that." I grin as I eat my dinner.

It's silent for awhile as we both consume our meals, it's a peaceful silence, one that I enjoy very much sometimes.
