break up & getting closer

- 3 months later -

ariana's pov

i've been on tour for almost 3 month now. i honestly enjoy every single second of it so much, i never want it to end. the only bad thing about touring is that i don't get to see sean at all, i mean in the beginning we used to text every day but now .. i kinda feel like he doesn't even give a single fuck about me anymore. tbh i feel like my feelings for sean faded away but i don't wanna lose him at the same time. we've had great times together.
i'm currently in my hotel room getting ready to leave for soundcheck.
putting on my heals, i hear the door open.
R : " hi cutie, u ready?"
A : " yaas "
R : " cmon let's go"

did i mention? me n ricky got very close these past 3 month. i like him a lot. he's just so caring and understanding.
ricky and i head downstairs to the lobby where everyone else is waiting for us.
" the queen finally arrived " i hear brian say.
A: " oh shut up, asshole "
climbing into the car that brings us to the venue, i sit in the very back with ricky.
i smile seeing him next to me. hearing my phone ding, i turn it on, seeing a picture of sean and me kissing as my screensaver. my smile instantly drops. i don't know what it is about seeing pictures of me and sean that makes me feel so weird. not even sad, just weird.
it's very confusing weird, i wanna talk to sean about it but i'm honestly scared and i feel like he wouldn't actually care.
thinking about all of this a tear rolls down my cheek. i'm such a cry baby.
R: " what's wrong moonlight?"

he's so caring and sweet.

A: " i .. i kinda don't wanna talk about it with everyone in the car .. maybe we can talk later ? after the show?  you can come to my room. "
R:" sure, but please stop crying and show me that beautiful smile of yours!"
i can't help but blush at his words ugh ..

- After the show -
" YAAAAAAAAS GIRLS WE KILLED IT" i scream to my crew. after every show we have a little celebration before everyone leaves to go back to the hotel.
we all stand in our prayer circle to thank god for this concert and just show each other our love. ricky stands right next to me.
from the coner of my eyes i notice that he's staring at me.. and tbh i don't mind. which is weird because i normally freak out if someone is staring at me for too long .. even sean, but with ricky i feel kinda comfortable.
i lean to his ear and wisper "come to my room once you get back to the hotel"
he winked at me and walked off to his dressing room.
after i changed and took off my stage makeup i get in the car thats waiting for me outside the venue and drive to the hotel.
i go straight to my room and throw myself on my bed. oh lord i am exhausted.
it knocks on my door .. yay ricky's there.
opening the door i face ricky. he is smiling, as always.
A : hi rick
R : hi moonlight
A : cmon let's sit on my bed
R: k, so what's wrong ? why were you crying earlier? 
A: eehh .. do you know me n... *ding ding ding*
A: wait lemme check my phone real quick

i open my phone to see thousands of notifications from my fans saying "sean cheated on you". i open a picture. there's sean and some random blond girl kissing and he's grabbing her ass.
i immediately open whatsapp to write sean but he already wrote me

from " sean ♡ " : it's over bitch, byyeeee
i can't help it but bust out crying and fall on the floor. why why why.
i mean my feelings for sean weren't as strong as they used to be .. but it just hurts. so much.

R: oh my god ari what happened?

ricky sits down on the floor next to me and pulls me into a tight hug.
i just keep on crying into his chest while he rubs circles on my back.
after a while i kinda calm down ..
R: you alright?
A: i guess .. thank you
R: you don't need to thank me but .. what's wrong?
A: sean .. he cheated on me & broke up with me via text message..
R: asshole
A: yeah.
R: maybe you should go to bed and sleep .. you've had a loong day!
A: carry me?
R: of course queen
i can't help but smile at him. i'm so sad but so happy that ricky is with me in this moment.

he gently places me on my bed,
places the blanket over my little body, kisses my forehead and turns around.
i grab his hand and stop him from going away.
A: " where r u going? " 
R: " to my room? i thought you needed some space.."
A: " no please stay with me .. i really don't wanna be alone."
R: " okay moonlight "

Ricky steps into bed next to me. i face the wall, he faces my back.
i pull his hand over my waist and take his hand in my hand.
i immediately relax at his touch.
R: goodnight bab.. eh ari
A: * giggles* good night rick, love u
R: i love u too.
