Assumptions (Ariana Grande x reader)

14. Better off apart

Ariana's POV
It's been about a week since Y/N wanted to break up. We haven't talked since, but we're still friends, right? I have to admit, I miss her like hell but I understand. Our relationship wasn't stable and I don't think she was ready for the whole fame part. I hope that's the reason and not Naomi.

I'm trying to move on but it's so hard, she's the first person I've actually felt like I truly loved and wanted to be with forever. My friends all try and make me forget about her but she's always on my mind, everything reminds me of her, even my rock. I regret showing her that place but at the same time I don't because I still love her.

She hasn't even texted me but I can't blame her, I mean I haven't texted her either. I just hope she's feeling okay, I'm not feeling my best though. At the studio I can't even concentrate, no ideas about lyrics or anything it's all just empty without her. Max Martin tries to keep my focus on the album and write it about Dalton but it's almost impossible to think about Dalton right now, I need Y/N.

Right now I'm sitting on my couch eating ice cream and watching Harry Potter. I'm curled up with a fluffy white blanket and some comfy clothes. My natural curly hair all over the place. I don't feel like myself anymore without her, I need Y/N to fix my life. I know that it sounds weird and desperate but I can't do anything about it, I relied on her to much and now when I'm without her I don't know what to do.

But maybe she was right, maybe we're better off apart.

Y/N's POV
I'm at work placing bread in some baskets. I regret calling quits with Ariana, honestly I don't know why I did it I just did it. In that moment I felt like we wouldn't work for some reason. I'm sure she has already moved on, I'm still here thinking about her barely being able to work. I know it sounds weird and desperate but I can't do anything about it, I truly loved her, I still love her.

I glance over at the clock and noticed that it's time for me to go home soon. I'm happy about that but still, all I do now is sit on my couch and eat ice cream curled up in a blanket. Angie is clearly concerned but I avoid all questions, I haven't told her about me and Ari's breakup but it's obvious that she knows.

When my shift was over I got in my car, shuffled my playlist. I still had tons of Ariana songs on there which made everything worse. Once her music made me happy and relaxed now it makes me sad and feel stupid. I hate myself for doing what I did, but the universe has a plan, right?

So I'm better off not being around ya
Go on and face it, I'll never be ready for you, ready for you
I swear my love is a curse, make you head over shoes, head over shoes

I finally make it home. I stepped inside my apartment, Angie's shoes aren't here so she's probably still at work. I hung up my jacket before walking to my room. I changed into some black sweats and a grey oversized T-shirt. Then I took a box of caramel ice cream and a spoon from our kitchen before dropping down on the soft couch.

I turn on modern family as I eat my ice cream. I only had time for one episode before the front door opens revealing Angie with a black eye.

"Oh god Angel, what happened?" I run over to her to take a closer look at her injury.

"I just met a psycho" she says rolling her eyes taking off her jacket.

"A psycho? Who?" I asked confused.

"Naomi" she says clearly still upset as fuck at whatever happened.

"Naomi? Are you serious!? What happened?"

"She came up to me just as my shift was over and punched me right in the face giving me this black eye. She said I was the reason for breaking you and her up" she explains.

"Did you hit her back?" I ask already knowing the answer.

"Sugar, you've known me since birth, of corse I fucking did, right at her ugly ass nose"

"Fair enough" i scoff. "Wanna watch modern family and eat ice cream?"

"Absolutely!"

We sit closely together while watching and eating making small talk at the happenings. We had both seen the show like 100 times but still, it's amazing. My phone vibrated and when I saw who it was I rolled my eyes, Naomi.

Texts from today 7:44PM
Naomi: is it true that it's over with you and Ariana? Because if it is then I thought that maybe you would wanna hang out sometime?

Y/N: are you serious now Naomi? First you force yourself on me, then you break me and Ariana up, then you attack my best friends and now you expect me to go on a date with you? You're the stupidest person I've ever met

Naomi: I know I've made HUGE mistakes but I promise to get better, please just give me a chance Y/N

Y/N: I don't know Naomi, you've ruined my life so many times

Naomi: it won't happen again I promise

Y/N: fine, I'll go out as friends but not as a date, hear me? NOT A DATE.

Naomi: yes! I get it, friends. Meet me outside my cafe tomorrow at 8PM

Y/N: ok

I was still upset with her but this could be a way for me to understand why she's so obsessed. Maybe she can help me get over Ariana as well. Is this a mistake I'm making? I don't know, I don't know anything at this point.

Before I knew it the time was almost 8 and I had to go to my old workplace. In the car I'm listening to the radio, I can't listen to any of my playlist cause they are filled with Ariana and I just can't listen to her tones anymore. I arrived outside the cafe and met Naomi there, she sat on a bench right in front of the cafe but stood up to greet me with a hug.

"Hi Naomi"

"Hi Y/N, I'm surprised you showed up"

"Me too, but I guess I should give you a second chance"

"Thank you, c'mon let's go for a walk in the park"

I nodded and followed her. Once we made it in there I remembered what happened here, this is the place where Naomi kissed me the first time. I tried forgetting about it and act like I don't remember but I can't, I felt very guilty after that night.

Flashback
We were talking and laughing when she suddenly stop to look at me. I looked at her confused but before I could even ask she pushed her lips against mine. I tried to pull away but her grip on my neck was too tight.

When she finally pulled away I looked at her surprised.

"I'm sorry I thought-" she started but I cut her off.

"No, sorry, I have a girlfriend" I tell her.

"Oh... well then this is better left unsaid"

I shrugged it off and continued walking with her. A silence came.

"Why did you go all crazy on Angie?" I break the silence, I know it's straightforward.

She was about to answer, I saw how she got embarrassed in a bad way. "Uhm... it just got in me I don't know, I was in a bad mood and just did it and didn't think... I'm sorry"

I nodded, still I'm not forgiving her. "Uhm... so, you still like me like that?"

"I'm getting over it" I noticed her voice breaking like she was about to cry. Even though I don't like her I hate seeing people hurt and cry so I wrapped her in a big hug as comfort. A few light sobs escaped her and my shirt absorbed her tears.

"I love you Y/N"
