Why Try

Chapter 13

I stared at my phone for a few more seconds, I need to call this bitch. I stood up from my chair
"excuse me guys" I was about to walk off when Justin caught my wrist.
"hey are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look on his face. I nodded my head and smiled at him
"yeah I just need to make a phone call." I made my way out of the restaurant and went around the side. I got my phone out and pressed call on Tiana's name in my contacts. The ringing tone came on and I could feel my blood boiling inside me. "Oh I was wondering when you'd call, seen the article then?"
"What the fuck is your problem? You know how much I love to sing, you know this is my dream so why are trying to ruin this for me?"
"You know why"
"oh because you was told that you wasn't gonna get signed and I was? Jealousy doesn't get you anywhere Tiana"
"I'm not fucking jealous."
"Yeah? So why do you sound it then? Tiana you could of been big too but you chose to throw it all away"
"you think you're better than everyone just because you have a good education, nice parents and a loving family. You think you're better than everyone else but really you're just a fucking bitch Aribella, I only was friends with you because I felt sorry for you". I know she was only saying this because she was upset...right?
"Yes I have a good education because I wasn't out until all hours with friends getting drunk and smoking pot, I actually cared about my life. Nice parents? My dad cheated on my mom and he's left us so he's hardly a good parent. I wasn't the one who used to make up excuses because you didn't want to hang out so if anything you're the shit friend".
By this time I wasn't my even angry anymore I was just upset, I could feel my eyes starting to fill with tears.

Justin's P.O.V
"Hey bro where's your girl gone, she's been ages" khalil said quietly to me. "She's not my girl and I don't know. I'll be back in a minute". I stood up and everyone looked up at me.
"I'll be back in a minute." I walked outside and no one was there...what the fu-. I was cut off by raised voices from around the corner.
"You know what Tiana, you can think and say all you want but know this, I am NOT using Justin for fame or money. Him and scooter both say I'm talented and I will make it big so say what you want to the papers because I know the truth so let me tell you something honey, the streets weren't made for everybody that's why they made sidewalks so moss like you can grow, stay in your lane" I realised that the person talking on the phone was Aribella, oh my god she knows how to win an argument. She turned around but then jumped a little when she saw me. "You okay?" I asked and she nodded her head and then shook it as tears began to fall.
"Hey hey what's up?"
"How could she be so harsh to me? We were once best friends" oh Tiana.. "forget her Ari, you have me now babe" she soon relaxed and hugged me.
"Lets go"
"but what about everyone inside?"
"Oh shit yeah" I gave her the keys to the car and told her to wait for me whilst I go and tell the rest that me and Aribella are leaving.

One week later. Aribella's P.O.V
I can't believe my new single drops tonight at midnight which is only a couple of hours. Ever since Justin tagged me on instagram on my birthday, my insta has been blowing and people have shown me lots of love and support. I have had so many comments from people saying how much they are excited to hear my song and how they've been supporting me since my YouTube days and they are proud of me, that warmed my heart. Me and Justin have been getting close just recently like stealing kisses whenever we could, cuddling on the sofa and last night I ever slept in his bed, nothing sexual happened just cuddles I really like him. "Hey Ari" Kendall said as she entered the living room with a bottle of wine in her hands. Tonight Justin has organised a little celebration gathering at his house to celebrate my new single coming out. I have made some great friends and I couldn't be happier. There was Balloons that said "CONGRATS ARIBELLA" all in singular letters in pink. There was also cute fairy lights up and about the house looked cute.
Hours gone by and it was now only ten minutes until Touch It comes out and my heart is beating. Justin posted on Instagram and twitter how excited he is for my new song, aw babe.
"How you feeling?" Hailey asked. "Honestly, I'm shitting myself" I said quietly as the nerves began to take over. "Ten..nine..eight" oh god. "Three..two..one" my heart was racing and my stomach was flipping.
"Your single is now available" Justin said "I'm so proud of you babe". He leant in and kissed my forehead. Ansksnsk he's so cute. I hope everyone likes my song...
