Jai's POV
My eyes fluttered open revealing the morning sunlight peeking through long, white, elegant drapes.
Yep, I'm definitely not in my room, I thought to myself.

I carefully looked down at my toned abbs and noticed Ariana's hand delicately draped across my torso.
Turning my head around, I examined her peacefully sleeping figure and decided not to wake her up just yet, after all she isn't exactly a morning person. Being careful not to wake her, I slowly and quietly got out of my side of the bed, making my way to the door. On my way to the door I couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked sleeping, so I leaned over her side of the bed and gave her a very soft kiss on the cheek.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

I kind of forgot my way around her house, besides she lives in a mansion all by herself and with her five puppies, (A/N don't worry! I know about Sirius, but in the story she doesn't have him yet ;) ) and it has been about half a year since I have been here, so I have a perfectly good excuse to be lost.

On my way to find a guest bathroom to shower in, I came upon a room filled with music making equipment and piles of junk. Everything looked so interesting, so I decided to become a little bit of a snoop.

Everything I found was like I said before, just junk papers and old contracts of Ari's. I was just about to leave the room until I came across a notebook that was open to a certain page that was clearly song lyrics of hers.

I cried enough tears to see my own reflection in them
And then it was clear
I can't deny, I really miss him

To think that I was wrong
I guess you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Pain is just a consequence of love
I'm sayin' sorry for the sake of us

He wasn't my everything 'til we were nothing
And it's taking me a lot to say
But now that he's gone, my heart is missing something
So it's time I push my pride away.

That was all that was written on the page, it wasn't even half way full. I stroked the top of the page where my name was written inside of a heart. I watched as a tear of mine hit the paper and another, then another.

My head immediately jerked up to the door as I heard it squeak open.

"Jai?" Ariana asked confused sitting down beside me, with Toulouse in her lap. "I'm, I'm so sorry." was all I could manage to get out. She obviously looked confused so I handed the notebook to her and she had a moment of realization appear across her face.

"Oh this, don't be sorry, it's just a silly break up song I never even finished." she said in a very positive voice pretending not to care at all. But I know her and I can see it in her eyes when something is bothering her or she is lying.

I'm guessing she noticed me starring at her so she broke the silence with a question, I was not that prepared for. "Hey, do you think you can come up with the chorus for me?" she asked.

"Well," I started , "only if you sing it for me" she blushed and nodded her head in agreement. "Okay, good, now hand it over." I motioned for her to hand me back her songbook, and she did along with a pink fluffy pen. We exchanged smiles for minute while I just stared at her beauty trying to come up with the perfect lyrics.

Finally I got the lyrics and I hid what I was writing from Ari. She kept playfully tackling me while I wrote down the chorus keeping the book out of her reach. "Let me seeee!" she whined giggling, snatching it out of my grip. "Okayyyy" I mocked her giggling too, while I took Toulouse from her and placed him in my lap.

Ariana's POV
I read the lyrics Jai had written for me, as few tears rolled down my cheek.

'Cause you are
You are
You are my everything
You are
You are
You are my everything

It was so simple, yet so meaningful and beautiful. "Oh my god." I said grabbing his hand and pulling him right up next to me so I could rest my head on his shoulder. "Who knew you could be a song writer" I said to him as we both laughed a little. "Thanks Love, but I'm still waiting to hear you sing it" he told me stroking my hand. "Oh, Alright"

I was just about to start, but the door bell rang. We both sighed and walked down to get it, with Toulouse following close behind.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*
I answered the door while Jai went to get breakfast ready in the kitchen.

"ARIANA!" Beau immediately screamed at me once I opened the door. "Woah, chill Beau. What do you need?" I asked trying to calm him down. He pushed past meclosing the door behind him, his eyes wandering all over my entry way area. "Sorry, but please tell me Jai is here." he said to me with hopeful eyes. "Um, ya he's in the kitchen." He ran to the kitchen without even letting me ask why he was in so much trauma.

I followed Beau to the kitchen to see him with his arms wrapped tightly around Jai, and seeing Jai with very confused facial expression.

"What is going on?" me and Jai both
said at the same time.

"I was so worried. You told me you were coming back before 10 last night and you never returned. I've been up since 6:30 looking all over LA for you." he told Jai releasing the one way hug. I glanced over at the clock and saw it was already 10:30.

"Oh, sorry, I've been here. You should just text me next time, fucking idiot." Jai replied back from his brothers panic speech.

"I did, genius. It went straight to voice mail. You gave me a heart attack, I thought something terrible happened to you. Never do that again" It was so weird seeing Beau so serious, I guess they really do care about each other.

"Well, he's been fine, so stay and enjoy some breakfast with us." I offered interrupting the conversation.

Beau took my offer and stayed to enjoy a nice a peaceful breakfast. Followed by a nice and peaceful day. Almost. The whole day turned into a disaster that night.
