Forgotten

Chapter 4

(Ariana pov)

April-11th-2018
Restaurant📍

Ariana's thoughts: "That's Faith what she, does she works here?"

I walk in hiding my face, I watch her go to the back & I follow her avoiding everyone. This wasn't the best idea but I had to do it.

I accidentally bump into her & she turns around looking at me shocked.

Ariana: "Hey Fai-" she covers my mouth.

She pulls me aside into an empty small room.

Faith: "What the hell are you doing here?" 

Ariana: "Would you believe me if I said I was ordering food." I nervously say.

She has her hand on her head in disbelief that I'm here.

Faith: "Okay." She takes a deep breath. "I am working right now so you should go."

Ariana: "So you actually work here." I awkwardly say.

She looks pissed at me, I should've just waited outside for her.

Faith: "It wasn't the first job I wanted, it pays the bills that's enough for me…go before some recognize you." she pushes me out through the back.

Ariana: "Can we talk after?"

Faith: "No." She closed the door on me.

Ariana's thoughts: "My ex best friend pushed me out into the back alley of a restaurant." 

I waited all afternoon for her & eventually I saw her leaving.

Los Angeles📍

Ariana: "Hey." I walked up to her.

Faith: "You actually waited for me, I shouldn't be surprised." 

Ariana's thoughts: "What does she mean by that?"

Ariana: "If it was the only way I could talk to you one more time than I would wait as long as it takes."

She ignores me picking up the pace.

Ariana: "Hey I could give you a ride back home." I gesture towards my car.

Faith: "Thanks, but no thanks, I didn't need your help before, I don't need it now."

That was rude & I ran after her.

Ariana: "You don't have to be so rude to me, I didn't do anything wrong." That was a bad choice of words.

Faith: "You didn't do anything wrong right of course the Popstar queen would say that." She walks backwards looking at me.

I try to speak but she interrupts me again, once a second she calms & the other she's frustrated. I don't know which is which, I can never grasp & understand her.

Faith: "I finally had my life figured out again, then you showed up out of nowhere to complicate it all again."

Ariana: "I didn't mean to complicate anything, I just thought…"

Faith: "That's the thing you just think everything is a good idea, you don't weigh the consequences."

I couldn't say anything. I just stood there not being able to think of anything to say. Is she wrong? I'm not sure, all I wanted ever since last month was to fix our relationship.

Ariana: "I did weigh the consequences, & I don't plan to leave. I'm going to stay back in your life whether you want it or not." I stand my ground.

Faith: "What did you weigh huh!!"
