Forever And Always (Ariana Grande Love Story

The Gas Station

(Drake's POV)

Step after step only enraged a burning sensation up my leg. But that was a good thing right? That meant I was feeling something.

I started looking around. Somehow I've made it to a gas station. If I walked inside people would think I'm in danger. I had no money for a pay phone either. Fuck it. I practically dragged my lifeless body inside the store. My shirt was ripped with holes and my jeans were stained with blood along with bruises on my face. I felt people's eyes pointing at me like a dagger.

"C-can I use your phone?" I said to the man behind a desk.

"Uhh sure kid it's over near the restrooms over there"

I nodded in appreciation trying to make my way to the phone. No one else had cell phones but Tony and Ariana. I knew Tony wouldn't answer an unknown number unless I called repeatedly and I don't think my body has the time.

I took the phone from the chord and started dialing. My vision was getting blurry and my breathing was getting heavy. I heard a couple rings and I couldn't tell if she would pick up or not.

"Hello?"

The sweet angelic voice came from the other line. I never thought I'd be so happy to here it.

All of a sudden my whole body felt as it were shutting down. My eyes started doubling and I couldn't tell what was real or not.

"Hellooooooo?"

I tried to say something but my breathing overtook my words.

"I-I it's Drake" was all I could manage to say before I collapsed to the ground and yanked the phone from the cord with me. Nothing but blackness consumed my eyes.

(Ariana's POV)

"Oh my god! H-hello! DRAKE WHERE ARE YOU?!" I started freaking out. I couldn't hear anything over the other line and hearing Drake's voice unexpectedly only made me worry.

"Hello!! Are you ok? Where are you?!" I started yelling to the phone. But it was worthless. The call had been cut off. But I couldn't help it. I started screaming into the phone hoping he was still there.

"Woah woah woah!!!" I felt a hand on my shoulder push me back.

"What's going on chica?" Tony said.

"I-I don't know. Drake called me from this number and he didn't tell me anything except his name because the line caught off and I don't know how to get in contact with him again or if he's still there or-" Tony shoved his hand on my mouth. In frustration I slapped it down.

"Look I'm sorry but you talk a lot. Give me the number I can trace it" he calmly said.

I was so shocked as to how he was talking it. But I had no time to argue, he probably went through this all the time. I read aloud the number off my phone as he dialed it into some app on his phone.

Beeping came from his device as he calmly waited.

"This app traces numbers easily. It works for when I need to find my targets."

"Targets?" I asked hesitantly.

"Yeah my enemies"

"Oh" I said calmly. For a second i forgot he was in a gang because for once he was actually acting somewhat humane.

The beeping stopped.

"Alright vatos huddle up and get the car ready" he said to his people. He then looked at me.

"He's at some gas station just about 10 miles. If he's still there we can get him, if not we can ask people if they've seen him." Tony said.

I nodded and looked for Proof.

I saw him sitting in a corner looking down. I wanted so badly to tell him we might have a lead but I didn't want to give his hopes up.

"Hey little guy"

He lifted up his head. He was so adorable. Some of my directors from my musical I was in had children. They always brought them in to watch and I'd always hang out with them when I was on break.

"It's time to go, we might have a lead on where your brother is." His eyes widened as he got up and followed me out the hospital.

We made it inside the car and Tony started driving off.

7-Eleven

I read the sign as we pulled up to the gas station. Oh god please be here.

We pulled up to a parking spot and all we all got out. Proof was close behind me. I felt as if we all in some way were a bit closer now. But never would I ever befriend these guys. I took a risk hanging with Drake, and wether it was worth it or not is still unknown to me. All I knew is that I had to see him.

I went inside first and started to ask the guy behind the desk if he's seen Drake. I was pulled back by Tony before I could even say the words.

"What if they're hiding him? If we ask where he is they might secure him in a place or something." Tony said.

I guess he had a point. We all said we were just looking for some food. We basically spent an hour looking and the man started getting suspicious.

"Look kids either buy something or get out. If your planning to rob you're obviously hesitant about it and I have the button right here to call the police" the man behind the desk said.

I knew this wouldn't work.

At once everyone started to talk.

"No we're not planning to rob"

"Yeah we'll be out in a minute."

"Right after I use the bathroom" I said last.

He eyed me the whole time walking to the restroom. As I was walking I noticed a cord hanging from a wall that a phone was suppose to be on.

Was this where Drake called me?

I walked closer to the wall. I saw the other half of the cord laying next to a door. I opened the door, and then I saw a body.

I put my hands over my mouth in shock.

Drake's body

I screamed for Tony as I pulled Drake's body out of the door. Bruises and cuts were all over him. Tears started to from as I looked at what was left of him.

Suddenly Tony and the others were behind me along with the man behind the desk.

"What kind of sick joke is this?!" The man said. Tony picked up Drake and walked him out the door. The others followed while me and Proof just stood there.

"That's it I'm calling the police" the man said.

" Oh No you ain't." Proof said as he grabbed a glass from a fridge and threw it at the mans head.

I looked at Proof shocked. I didn't know wether I should be scared or laughing at the fact an 11 year old boy just did that.

"C'mon" I said laughing at proof as we ran into the car. Tony put him in the trunk and started the engine.

"He's unconscious, but he's alive."

He's alive.

Those were the only and last words I cared about. I closed my eyes and smiled as we drove back to Tony's place.
