Why Try

Chapter 15

Six months later

It's been six months since I got signed to Def Jam Records and my god has my life been crazy since. I'm releasing my first ever album tonight and I'm about to burst. It hasn't taken long because I had the songs written already. I live in LA now but not with Justin. I have an apartment which I love so much. I moved here about four months ago and I love living here. Leaving Boca did break my heart but it was the right thing to do now I'm in this industry. Things with me and Justin are fab, we are dating now but we have decided to live separate until things get real serious. When he asked me to be his girlfriend, I cried so much like how he did it was sweet. He took me to an island that I've never heard of before, he rented out a villa for us and when we got there, red and white rose petals were everywhere and then he looked at me and gave me a big speech about how much I've changed his life for the good and by the time he'd finished, I was crying. He wiped my tears away and asked me to be his girlfriend, at first I thought it was a joke but he reassured me he was serious. Everyone is happy for us and my life is great at the moment.
My fans mean everything to me, they are sweet and supportive of me and they keep me going when I'm having a bad day. My album is called Yours Truly. The songs are mostly about Justin as everyone will guess but my song "Be Alright" is for my fans, it's for them to know that if they are going through a rough patch everything is gonna be alright. My song "Sometimes" is about my relationship with Justin, so many people doubted us at the start and then Justin kept asked me if I'd ever leave him so I wrote a song about the situation and it's one of my faves.
I'm currently in my apartment waiting for Justin to pick me up so we can go to my album release party. My outfit is so cute tonight, I have an olive green playsuit on with some thigh high boots and my make up has a natural look. "Babe?" I heard Justin shout and the door shoot behind him. "In here" he walked into my bedroom as I turned around.
"Damn baby you look so good"
"thank you, you don't look so bad yourself" I said as I lend in for a kiss. Justin was wearing all black. Daddy.
We arrived at my album release party and holy fuck it looks good. All my friends are here and the music is so loud, I need to get a drink.
"Hey can I get a glass of red wine please" I asked the bartender and he nodded. Justin has gone to find his friends and I need to catch up with my friends because I haven't seen them in so long. "Hey Ari!!" I turned around and Hailey stood there with a smile on her face. "Hey babe, how long have you been here?" I asked.
"Not long, I came with Kendall and Kylie" the bartender gave me my drink and me and Hailey joined the others, I was welcomed by lots of hugs from my best friends.
The night has been great so far and it's only half hour until my album is released. I heard a clinking sound and I looked and Justin was stood up getting everyone's attention. He started speaking. "Hey everyone, so I released my album about six months ago now and I have decided to go on a world tour" everyone began clapping for him but my heart sank. What? This is a shock to me. "And I just want to say how proud I am of Aribella. I remember when we first met at the bar a few blocks from here, you was singing Listen by Beyoncé on karaoke and I was walking to my car when I heard your voice and since that moment I have loved you" the tears began to fall as everyone was looking at me.
"I can't wait to see what the future holds for you baby and that's why I want you to join me on my world tour as one of my support acts. I know I didn't tell you I was going on tour but I wanted to keep this as a surprise, now we can travel the world together" what the fuck? I'm going on tour with my baby. Oh my god.
