Forgotten

Chapter 19

(Ariana pov) 

August-17th-2018
Ariana's apartment📍

Ariana's thoughts: "3 weeks already & still nothing from her."

She literally said I'm better off without her, that's not true, her actions, she is responsible for this.

Pete: "Hey how you feeling."

Ariana: "Just great, thanks for ruining my relationship with my best friend, if you didn't tell me shit I wouldn't feel like shit right now."

Pete: "So now I'm to blame, I'm your boyfriend, I should be your first priority."

Ariana: "I don't want to argue Pete, I have an album debut to celebrate."

I head downstairs to get everything ready for the party. 

~4 hours later~

I'm in the kitchen looking for plastic cups & plates.

Nonna: "Here baby, let me help you." 

Ariana: "Nonna you don't have to just enjoy the party."

Nonna: "No I am helping this is your party, you should be having fun with your friends."

I smile at her & let her help me out.

Ariana: "Thank you Nonna."

Nonna: "It's nothing baby don't worry about it, is Faith coming over?"

Ariana: "No she has work & they won't give her anymore days off, we also had an argument, we aren't on good terms." I sigh.

Nonna: "A good friendship has its ups & downs, don't worry it'll all work out in the end." She smiles 

I sat next to the counter thinking about what Nonna told me.

Frankie: "Shouldn't you be out there in the living room." 

Ariana: "Yea, but I thought some peace & quiet would be nice…did you know that Nonna really, really likes Faith."

Frankie "That's all she can talk about when she visits, you two hangout way too much." 

It never felt like that, before we hung out here & there but now it just feels like a mess.

Ariana: "Well she's not coming & we haven't hung out much as you think, idk we had an argument & things are complicated okay."

Frankie: "So that's why you're here alone, maybe if you understand her side then you might know why she did it."

Ariana: "Maybe, but she probably hates me."

Frankie: "Who can hate you." He laughs.

Ariana: "She does, even though I'm still pissed at what she did, but she's still my best friend, I care about her, things are complicated, she threatened Pete & Mac." 

Frankie: "She was just doing what felt right in a really defensive way, what if someone did something horrible to her, you wouldn't stand by & just let it happen."

Ariana: "No I wouldn't."

Frankie: "Exactly, she is just watching out for you, ya the way she did things might not roll with everyone but it's how she shows it."

He was right, I never even thought about her, it's always been about me. I can remember everything she told me in that moment, that shit hurt.

Ariana: "I wish you didn't say things you don't mean."
