Chapter 35

“Greyson, are you asleep?”

Greyson moved a bit.

“Greyson wake up.”

Greyson opened his eyes. In front of him stood Ariana Grande, his best friend from when he was 13.

“Ariana!” Greyson cried. He sat up straight. He has been sleeping on his chair next to Danielle’s bed.

“It’s so good to see you!” Greyson smiled suddenly, forgetting everything.

Ariana smiled. They both hugged.

“How are you Ariana? What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be in Mexico now?”

Ariana smiled sadly. “I'm here to visit you, and Danielle.”

That wiped the smile on Greyson's face.

“oh.” Greyson said.

“How are you Greyson? How have you been?” Ariana asked softly, taking his hands into hers.

“I’ve heard that you have been going through some very hard times.”

Greyson remained silent.

A few moments of silent went by.

“Can I tell you something?” Greyson asked finally, breaking the silent.

“You can tell me anything.” Ariana answered softly.

“Its- it’s not easy, you know, to be a singer.” Greyson began.

“You see, I thought being a singer was all about, entertaining people and making them happy, and in return they make me happy.” Greyson continued softly, as if talking to himself.

“But this?” Greyson indicate to Danielle. “This is not happiness. Hell no. This is murderer.”

Ariana remained silent.

“I would, NEVER, be a singer if I know this would happen.” Greyson said under his breath.

“Greyson…” Ariana said softly, just enough for both of them to hear.

“No Ari, no.” Greyson shook his head. “I expected them to love who I love, be happy when I am happy, smile when I smile. I never expected this to happen. I thought-“Greyson stopped and looked down. A tear fell from his eye.

“I thought that being jealous is normal.” Greyson continued. “Sure everyone gets jealous all the time. Even more when they see the people they love with someone else. But, why do this? Why do they have to kill her? What wrong has she done?”

“Grey baby, listen to me.” Ariana said, pulling Greyson's chin up. “You have the right to be mad, you have every right to be angry. But know that this is all what god has destined for you two. He wants to see how strong your love is, and how strong your patients are. You know that the strongest man is the one who can control his anger.”

Greyson didn’t say anything. He rested his head on Ariana’s shoulder.

“I heard that you don’t want to sing anymore, do you?”

Greyson suddenly sat up. “I know why you’re here.” Greyson said. “My manager sent you here, didn’t him?”

“Yes but no. that is not the reason why I’m here.” Ariana said.

 “Now if you’re here to tell me to go and sing again, believe me that won’t happen, ever.” Greyson said, folding his arms.

“No Greyson listen.” Ariana tried to calm Greyson down. “I’m here as your friend.”

A moment of silent went by again.

“I know what is going on now is so hard for you to handle by yourself, so I took a trip from Mexico to come here and meet you. I accidently met with your manager, and he asked me to try and talk to you.” Ariana said, breaking the silent.

Greyson remained silent.

“I am gonna talk to you, but not about that, but this.”

Ariana fished inside her purse and took out a piece picture.

She looked at the picture, smiled, and holds it out to Greyson.

“What is it?” Greyson asked and looked at the picture. It was a picture of Greyson, Ariana, Alexa, Tanner and Greyson's mom posing in front of an apple tree at Ariana’s house.

“That was the first time when you and your family came to my house.” Ariana said, smiling.

“It’s a beautiful picture right?” Ariana asked.

“Yes it is.” Greyson smiled. “Three months after this picture was taken I meet with Danielle in the girl’s bathroom.”

“Do you know how a beautiful picture like this is made?” Ariana asked Greyson.

“How?” Greyson asked, not taking his eyes of the picture.

“This very picture, started as a negative, in a dark room. After being processed, it turns out into a beautiful picture.”

Greyson looked at Ariana, his face confused, not understanding what Ariana was trying to point out.

“What you are going through now is darkness, Greyson.” Ariana said, putting her hands on Greyson's shoulder. “Soon, after all of this darkness and negativeness has passed by, you and Danielle, along with your child would emerge as a very beautiful picture.”

Greyson smiled. Another tear fell down Greyson's eyes.

“Thanks Ariana. Thanks.” Greyson hugged her.

Ariana smiled. A tear fell down her eyes too. She has heard each and every detail that has happened to Greyson and felt pity on him. He was her best friend, and she couldn’t bear to see Greyson cry, because she knew that Greyson wasn’t the kind of person who would cry so easily.

Greyson wiped his eyes and smile. He looked at Ariana and laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Ariana asked playfully.

“I'm just so surprise that you could be a great philosopher.” Greyson smiled. “But that’s okay, I like you that way. You always make me feel better.”

“That’s good then.” Ariana smiled too. “Now why don’t we go and have something to eat?”

“yeah.” Greyson said, holding his stomach. “Suddenly I feel so hungry.”

“Come on, I’ll treat you to McDonalds okay?” Ariana offered.

“Great!” Greyson smiled and jumped off his chair.
