Almost is Never Enough, A Wanted Fanfic

Chapter 7

NATHAN'S POV

This was my second show with Ariana. I felt completely and utterly comfortable with her on stage. I heard the music start to play and her sing. I closed my eyes and smiled as I listened to her sing. Her voice was beautiful. My part was coming up and I started to get little butterflies. I calmed myself and began to sing my part, walking out onto the stage.

I finished watching the rest of her show from backstage, like usual. She came backstage and looked completely happy. "Happy?"

"Yeah, I love performing so much."

"I know what you mean."

She finished everything that she needed to and I asked her, "Hey do you want to hang out or are you too tired?"

"Nah, I'm not too tired. What did you have in mind."

"I don't know maybe a movie. Would you rather go see one or rent one?"

She thought for a minute. "Let's just rent  one. If that's okay with you?"

"Thats perfect."

ARIANA'S POV

It was just him and me in my tour bus. He was putting the movie into the 55" tv on the wall. I got a blanket and threw it on the couch across from the tv. I went to my bunk to get a sweatshirt. I unzipped my suitcase and rummaged around for one. I tugged one out and with it came a picture. It was one of me and Jai. I bite my lip and put it back into my bag. I pulled the sweatshirt over my head, my mind racing. Should I tell Nathan? He deserves to know. His voice pulled me from my mind, "Ariana you alright?"

I called, "Yeah fine, coming." I quickly decided that he needed to know.

"So I found this popcorn over there," he gestured to the kitchen, "and decided to pop it. Hope that's okay."

"Yeah its fine. Hey Nathan I need to tell you something."

His eyebrow went up in a question, "Yeah. What is it?"

"Its about me and j-" the microwave went off. Perfect timing.

"Hold that thought," He retrieved the popcorn, opening the bag on his way back. "Sorry love, what was it that you needed to tell me?"

My mind was racing once again. How do I put this. What words should I use? Just say it. "Me and Jai broke up."

He looked concerned. He set the popcorn down, "I'm so sorry Ariana."

I shrugged, "Don't be. I think it's the best for both of  us"

He looked a little surprised. "Are you sure you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Need a hug?"

I nodded. His arms wrapped around me and pulled me in. I rested my head on his chest. "If you need someone to talk to, I'm always here."

"I know," I hugged him tighter.

NATHAN'S POV

We watched the movie. Or should I say I watched the movie. Ariana fell asleep about half way through. I sat close to her. I desperately wanted to put my arm around her, but I wasn't sure how she would react. I knew she just got out of a relationship and everything. It was 3 in the morning. I had to be at the airport in 3 hours. I was flying back to the UK to do a promoting gig for our new album.

I wanted to wake her up and say goodbye, but she looked so peaceful. I would see her again in 2weeks anyways, but I still wanted to say bye. I sighed.

I found a pen and paper and wrote:

You fell asleep and I didn't have the heart to wake you

heading back to the uk, see you soon and talk to you

hopefully sooner

           See ya later,

                      Nathan

I set it on the table and pulled a blanket over here. I got my shoes and headed for the door.

*A FEW DAYS LATER*

My part was coming, I pulled the microphone to my lips. That move was so natural to me, I didn't even need to think about it. I belted out the lyrics:

You cast a spell on me, spell on me

You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me

And I decided you look well on me, well on me

So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me...

Max ended the night with

I'm glad you came,

I'm glad we came...

Jay yelled, "Thank you everyone for coming out tonight. WE LOVE YOU!!"

We were in the van, driving back to hotel. Joking and making fun of each other as usual. Tom gave his "chipmunk" laugh, "And Jay when you said You'll Find Us Chasing the Fun." We all joined in on his laughter.

"I did that on purpose," Jay defended himself.

"Sure Bird," Max tugged on his ear.

"I did though."

Siva spoke next, "Or when Jay dropped his microphone." I laughed the loudest at this one. I literally couldn't breath. I hoped someone caught that on camera. Who was I kidding everyone there, got that on camera. He was in the middle of his Walks like Rihanna solo and was doing a little spin when...his microphone just completely flew out of his hand. The best part was when he tried to pick it up. He ran to it and kicked it even further from his grasp. I laughed again, Oh Jay.

"What is it? Make fun of Jay Day?" Jay asked.

"No one else did anything embarrassing tonight," Siva said.

"I thought it was always that day, " Tom looked quite proud of his answer. We all went OooOooo at that one.

My phone came alive in my lap. I looked down and saw Ariana's name. I smiled to myself and opened it.

Ariana:) - I know you are with the boys, but I just wanted to say hope you had a good show.

Me - It's alright. I always have time for you:) The gig was amazing. How was your day?

Ariania:) - That's good. My day was awesome, but boring.

Me - Lol at least it was good.

Ariana:) - True

My phone battery warning came on again. It was going to die any second now

Me - My phone is about to die. Call you tomorrow?

Ariana:) - Okay Night and I'll be waiting:)

My smile widened. "Helloooo." I felt someone shove my shoulder.

"What?" I asked.

Max put his arm around me, "I asked, who ya texting."

"His girlfrieeeend," Tom sounded like a primary school student. They all laughed though.

Rolling my eyes, I said, "She is not my girlfriend." Or at least not yet...
