Hello, this chapter is a little sad. I'm talking about the people in africa and how they suffer. I'm soon going to donate to them and I just wanted to say you guys should too. It doesn't have to be a lot of money. But the fact that a lot of us have everything we ever wanted.....while these families and kids don't. It's a serious topic but together we can change the world and make it a better place. Thanks so much!!!

ARI'S P.O.V.

Today is a day, where the gang and I were going to go help the kids in Africa. God I love kids, it breaks my heart when I see they don't have as much as we do. We're going to feed them, play with them, teach them new things and just have fun with them. And we're also donating $90,000 dollars to them.

We travelled to Africa and we were just now getting off of the one direction jet. We stepped outside and so many kids ran up to us, it was insane. God they were so cute, they started hugging us and I hugged them back and smiled. We went to the little station outside they had to get started and help.

The first thing we did was feed them. "Hi, I'm Noah" a little boy said to me as I was fixing his plate. Aww. "Hi cutie, I'm Ariana but you can call me Ari" I said. He smiled and I gave him his plate and he went to join his friends. We then donated all the money and food and everyone cheered.

I got to meet so many families and kids. We then started to get to the sad part......the nursing rooms. It was the most horrific thing I have ever seen. These babies and kids......they were just to fragile. It was terrible. I was listening to a mother who was telling her story to me as she was holding her son in her hands. He was so sick. She told me how her husband died of diseases and her mother and father did too.

She said the only thing she had left was her son. Who was dying also. I couldn't take it anymore. I gave her a small smile as a sign to tell her I will be right back. I went to the back of the room and sat down and cried. This is the worst thing ever. It's sad enough we already have adults that are going through this. But babies too.

I cried a little loudly. I couldn't pull myself together. I felt a hand on my back but I didn't look up. "Babe.....it's ok. I know it hurts" harry said sounding like he was crying too. I heard the rest of the gang coming and I heard people sniffing.

I guess they were crying too. "Thank you so much" harry said to someone. Huh? He then gave me a tissue and I wiped my face as I started to cry again and he held me. "Ok, as you know the great one direction is here along with their beautiful girlfriends Sophia, Eleanor, Perri and Ariana, let's see kf they want to make speeches"

I heard a translator say into the microphone that was on a small stage. Before we came, they said we would be offered to make speeches. I wiped my face some more and decided to get up and go to the microphone. People who worked there gave me some water and I drunk it all down.

I took a deep breath and looked at all the kids that stared at me smiling. I put the microphone up to my mouth and started to speak.

"Hi....I'm Ariana grande. Um...I have to say...it's an honor to be here today...because it lets me know how thankful I should be. And how thankful I am to have all of you in my life as my family in God's name. My friends and I...came here today...to help. And I'm so glad we did. I mean, it's sad that.....where I'm from all I hear is begging for things that a lot of people don't have. People like you dont have. And to come here today, made me realize we all need to be thankful for everything and each other. Life's a process....people come and go. But to come here and have stories be told to me about how these people...and kids are dying......is such a tragic thing. You guys don't have much.....your family....my family....our family....can barely hold their heads up here. There's so many diseases here.....and so many people and kids and babies dying from the diseases.....the families and kids that have died here......they were too young.....too fragile....they were too full of life....and the fact that you amazing people and kids smile all the time, showing us....all though you dont have much....your still happy.....is the most beautiful thing in the world. All of you are such amazing beautiful people. You guys are my family. And as i go home later on today, I can go and tell so many people how we can change the world togther if we just put our hearts in it....and im so happy to say my hearts in it. Thank you guys so much for having us....and just thank you....and i love all of you" I said in a hoarsed voice as i kept crying as I was talking. I don't even know if they heard a word I said, but by the way everyone clapped and cheered, i could tell they did. After everyone was done clapping and cheering, I then realized there was a camera on me.

My god. I forgot, they were showing all of this live around the world. Wow. I walked off stage and kids ran up to me and started hugging me. I started crying again as I hugged them. My tears were sad, happy, thankful tears. The gang then walked up to me and started hugging me. "That was so beautiful" Harry said.

He then kissed me and all the kids said, "oooooooh" I laughed and smiled at them. The mother I was talking to walked up to me. "That was such an amazing beautiful powerful speech, I thank you" she said. I smiled and hugged her. Some music started playing and we all started dancing to the music. The kids and people taught us little African dances.

God these kids can dance better than me. I was in a huge dance circle with el and some kids. We were all dancing together and had so much fun, and I noticed harry kept staring at me smiling. They then told me to sing a song. They had a little piano and I sung 'hallelujah' and 'oceans' by hillsong.

Once I was done they all cheered. I was surprised I actually did good since I was crying so much. The gang and I were making a huge poster for the kids. We had to get covered in so much paint from head to toe and touch the poster all over. We then started laying on the poster just coloring it with our bodies.

The kids started joining us and we all started throwing paint at each other. Harry dumped a whole bucket of paint on me and I did the same to him. "My lips are red!!" I said to harry. "Mine are blue!!!"

He laughed. I smiled. "Should we make purple?" He asked. I laughed and kissed him. The paint wasn't exactly toxic so it was ok that we got a tad in our mouths. We started throwing paint again. Man I'm so thankful but I have to say....we were not and will not...act our age. We were now rinsing all the paint off of us.

We actually got a lot off, although I still had some in my hair and a little on my clothes. It was now time for us to leave and we started hugging all of the kids and families. We started getting on the plane and I started crying again. "Aww what's wrong?" Niall asked. "I dont wanna leave them" I said.

"We can come back one day again" Liam said. I nodded and we all waved bye. I saw the mother I was talking to again and she was holding her son. She winked and smiled at me and I ran off the plane to give her and her son a hug again.

"Thank you so much, sweetie" she said. "Anytime, hopefully I'll see you two again" I said. She smiled and kissed my cheek. I kissed her cheek and kissed the little boys head.

I smiled at them and got back into the plane. We waved again and the doors of the plane closed. We all sat down and luckily there was plastic and towels everywhere so we didn't get paint all folder the jet. "Man...that was crazy..." I said.

The gang all smiled at me and nodded. "I WONT ACT MY AGE....NO I WONT ACT MY AGE!!!!" I yelled. They all started laughing. "NO I'LL STILL BE THE SAME AROUND YOOOOOOUUUUUUU........HEYYYYY NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA!!!!!!!!!!!" We all yelled. Harry held my left hand in his right. We both looked at our tattoos. "I have no control" harry said. I laughed and kissed him. God, I love my friends and family. And I'm so so blessed and thankful to have each and every single one of them in my life's.
