Ariana's POV

"W-what are you guys doing here?" I ask Karson, seeing her and Luke in the lobby.

"Don't worry, we're only here for one night," she said.

"But why?"

"Just because," she said, running off back to Luke.

I told them I wanted to be here alone with him, get away from my friends and just be with Kyle.

Is it just them...?

Moments later I see Ryan and Chaz walk in, but no Justin. Maybe he decided not to come. Or when I ask, they're gonna say that he's going to be late...

But I hope not.

Not that I don't want to see him or anything, I just don't want Kyle to be upset.

"Chaz!" I called.

"OH HEY!" He yelled, giving me a quick hug.

"Where's Justin?" I ask.

"Home,"

"He's not coming?"

"Nah, we told him not to,"

"Oh, but why?"

"He shouldn't come, and plus, he didn't want to get in the way,"

"Oh, I see,"

"Yeah, anyways, we need to check in. I'll see ya later,"

"Yeah," I said, as I headed back upstairs.

I scanned my key on the door and the light turned green. I walked inside the room and saw that Kyle was awake, watching tv in the living room.

"Hey," I said.

"Morning," he said in his raspy voice.

"Morning, hey um, they're here..."

"Who's they?"

"Karson, Luke, Ry-"

"-Oh, well that's cool, we can have dinner with them tonight right?" He said calmly.

"Y-you didn't even let me finish,"

"Finish what?"

"Who's here,"

"I already know,"

"What if I told you Justin was here?"

"He's not,"

"Okay, continue,"

"Dinner... Tonight with them?"

"Y-yeah, I'll go let them know,"

"Okay babe,"

Since when was he so chill with everything?

Justin's POV

They can't keep me away from her forever. She's my friend, I have every right to see her.

I don't give a shit if she says she's happier with Kyle because that's a lie.

She's happiest with me.

She feels so comfortable around me, so many things happened for the first time when we were dating.

Well, I'm not gonna see her for another 6 months.

I hate how things are between us. It kills me inside. Not just because she's dating Kyle. Aside from that, she isn't even trying to be my friend.

I love her as a friend too, but I guess she doesn't. I guess she doesn't care if we never see each other again.

Truth is, I only didn't want to follow them to the Bahamas for a couple of reasons.
