Torn

Chapter 15: Forever

*Ariana's POV*

-Friday-

"Today's the day." I yawn out and make my way to the bathroom to freshen up.

When I get done I walk out and see Justin fully dressed- with no flaws.

"I'm guessing I'll be the one driving him to the airport?" He assumes with no emotion.

"I'll be with you." I say with a grin, trying to lighten the mood.

A few days ago when we had our 'argument' or whatever you'd call it, we've just been acting like it never happened. Which is the best option for me, I'm not sure about him though.

"Are you ready?" He asks slipping his phone out of his pocket to check the time.

"Yeah, let me just go see if Jai is." I reply and walk down the hall to the room he's staying in.

"Knock knock," I sang by the door.

"Come in." He answers and I open it to see Jai sitting on the bed scrolling through his phone, his suitcase sitting next to him on the floor.

"You ready?" I ask him.

"I guess..." He replies with a shrug.

"You guess?" I question him with my eyebrows furrowed.

"I don't really want to leave you." He says looking down and I bite the inside of my cheek.

How can I not feel guilty?

"Jai... there's something I've been meaning to tell you," I start, "this whole time I've been trying to break up with you because I love Justin and I honestly can't help how I feel about him. I'm sorry I put you through all this Jai." I finish with a sigh.

"No, I'm sorry." He replies somewhat angry.

"For what?"

"Thinking you actually loved me this whole time you've stayed with Justin. I'm sorry I've been in your way." He finishes, but I can tell he's raging.

"Jai... stop please. I'll always have something for you. I'll always love you, but I love Justin more and in a different way. I never meant to hurt you, this wasn't planned." I say trying to calm him the least bit.

"Can we just leave now?" He asks irritably.

"So this is it?" I ask.

"Why should we stay together? After all you've done, I don't even know if I want to be around you anymore. At least give me some time to think." He replies.

"Okay." I say and just walk out, then go downstairs to find Justin sitting on the couch with his phone, most likely waiting for us to come down.

"Let's go." I say, suddenly not in the mood for anything and make my way out the door.

Justin catches up to me and turns me around to him by my arm, but Jai keeps walking towards the car.

"What is it?" Justin asks, trying to find any emotions in my facial expression, but the strangest thing happens...

I start crying.

"No, no baby, please don't cry." He says sympathetically.

But I just keep crying, and the weird thing is... I don't exactly know why.

"You can stay here if you want and I can just drop him-"

"No." I cut him off and sniffle afterwards.

"Okay, we can talk later. We have to leave now or he'll miss his plane." Justin replies while rubbing my back, I wipe my eyes then we walk to the car, which Jai is already in.
