Melanie

I'm woken up by the pots and pans in the kitchen falling down and I jolt up and run downstairs to see Jai face palming himself.

"What are you doing?" I laugh at him and walk over to help pick them all back up.

"I was thinking of making a decent meal for Ariana because she's still.... Upset from what you said." As if on cue I hear sniffles coming from the backyard.

"Oh... I'll be right back." I awkwardly walk out into the backyard to see Ariana holding her knees up to her chest with a box of tissues beside her.

"Ari?" I say as quietly as a mouse, which she lifts her head up and puts on her best fake smile I've ever seen her pull.

"I-I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I know it's not a reasonable explanation but it was just in the heat of the moment thing.. Y'know? I'm really sorry for what I said.." I apologise, keeping my head hung low.

"It's okay.. I know you didn't mean it." I see her wipe her eyes from the corner of mine.

"No it's not, you're crying, you've probably been crying for an hour or so, god knows how long I slept for." I groan as I make my way over to her and hug her, she stiffens under my touch but soon relaxes and returns the gesture.

"I'll be okay bæ, don't worry" she assures me as she pulls me onto her lap and caresses my hair, Jai interrupts our little moment by open the fly screen door.

"Hannah, Loren, Tahlia, Bri, Raina and Andrea are asking for you at the front door." I nod my head, hopping up and Ari follows me inside to the door.

"What's up?" I ask as the girls are all engaged in conversation.

"Heyyy girl! We were wondering if you would like to go down to the Pacific Park with us? We know it's like a 3 hour drive there and back, but c'mon it'll be worth it! I know you're stressing about things, including Rahil. Which I heard he's back in town and transferring to our school!" Tahlia tells me.

"Okay one, I would love to go if it's okay with Ari and Jai, two, Loren where the hell do you get your money and afford to be able to come here every month for a few days and three, about Rahil, I'll give him a chance, if he earns it."

"Well.. Actually. My parents decided to move here.. Along with Joey and his family.." She trails on.

I just squeal and hug her before looking back at Ariana asking for permission if I can go.

"Go right ahead! But change your outfit, don't want any paparazzi noticing you and calling you an outfit repeater" she laughs, grabbing my arm, welcoming the girls in and leading me upstairs to my room and sitting me down at my vanity and walking over to my wardrobe. She picks out a crop top that says 'Melrose L.A' on it, a white skater skirt and my usual converse before ordering me to change into them. After doing so she sits me back down at my vanity, applies the makeup she wore in the 'Baby I' music video and pulling my hair back into a gorgeous messy bun and clipping a cute bow in front to make it stand out. I have no idea why she's done all this, but I have a feeling she knows something that I don't... Otherwise she would've let me go dress myself.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" I question her, looking at her facial features for any sign that she is.

"Yes. But I can't say, neither will the girls, you will find out when you arrive at the park." She assures me.
