I wake up the next morning to Ari throwing pillows at me. I make her think I'm still asleep and just lay still in my position, she moves closer and throws a pillow but I catch it and throw it at her while shouting:

"SURPRISE BITCH, that's what you get for throwing pillows at meh!" I laugh and throw another one.

"Well that seemed to work, I just wanted to hype you up because today's a special day bæ!" She cheers.

"Huh?" I sit up and wipe my eyes.

"It's the VMAs today sleepy head! Get up we need to get ready!" She pulls on my arm and makes me fall on the floor.

"Ari!" I groan.

"Haha sorry, get up or I'll lift you and drop you again" she threatens. I heave my self up not wanting to experience that traumatic experience again.

When I get up Ariana practically forces me into the shower telling me to hurry up in there while Ange and Gaga are eating breakfast, after I finish up in there I throw on my robe and wrap my hair in a towel and walk out of the bathroom. (A/N: I really do prefer letting my hair dry naturally than applying heat to it)

"That's my girl! Now go eat your food" she ushers me to sit down next to Jai and I look down at the meal, I gasp as its my favourite meal ever; double chicken, with cheese and pineapple wrap from Nandos, topped with a Cotton Candy Frap from Starbucks. (A/N: *laughs* also happens to be Harry Styles's favourite from Nandos😹💜)

"Oh, thank you Ari! You really didn't need to" I hug her.

"It's fine! It's your first VMA ever! I wouldn't miss congratulating you and Ange for the world! Not even my other Arianators!" She gushes. After my meal, I go back into my temporary room and slip on my night gown as I don't want to walk around in a robe, I pull the towel off my head and shake my hair out, my natural waves are seen and my hair is dry so I mess around my hair until I like it enough until we really do start getting ready for the big event. Nothing else really happens for the rest of morning, just constant reminders to keep track of the time while watching The Vampire Diaries on Netflix.

*time skip to 5:00pm*

"Melanie Grande-Brooks!" Ari laugh-shouts at me with her arms crossed.

"Huh? Sorry what?" I ask, clearly not interested in whatever she has to say and lift my eyes up from the screen.

"You have been drooling for the past 3 minutes while I've been standing here" she laughs and points at my face.

"Oh shit, really?" I quickly wipe my mouth, see, this is what Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley do to me.

"C'mon chop, chop time to get ready." She shuts my laptop and puts it down on the side table and helps me start getting ready. I change into the long, white dress, with a silver boob cover type thing on the right, similar to what Ari wore for the Grammys last year and slip on my white high heels. Ari then helps me walk around the room for a bit to get used to the heels as I have yet to master them, then she sits me down on the bed and starts to apply my makeup. She applies the foundation, concealer and blush before doing her famous cat eye on me and applying mascara, and then filling in my eyebrows and outlining my lips with a light pink lip liner and coating my lips in her MAC lip gloss, which is a beautiful, pink, glossy colour. Then pulls my wavy hair up into her famous half up - half down hairstyle. Lastly, she coats my nails in a pink ombré colour, except for my middle fingers and coats them in grey, applies a pink heart in the middle and finally applies the white dots around it to finish the gorgeous nails off, she blow dries them for a bit to get the process going faster.
I look in the mirror and gasp, I look, so not me... Well yes me, my style, but this? This isn't what I originally expected.
