Why Try

Chapter 16

I woke up the sound of my phone ringing, Justin started to move next to me. I picked up, "hello" I said rubbing my eyes. "Hey Aribe-"
"not so loud scoot"
"haha sorry. So have you seen?"
"Seen what?"
"Have you just woke up? Have you not checked your phone yet?"
"No scooter I haven't, you woke me up" "your album Yours Truly is number one in thirty countries so far". Have I stopped breathing? Am I hearing correctly? What? "Ari are you there". The news finally hit me and I started jumping up and down in bed as tears began to fall down my face. I can't believe this. "What's going on?" Justin said whilst rubbing his eyes.
"My album Justin!! It's number one in thirty countries!!!"
"You serious? Congrats baby!". This is a dream come true, I have worked so hard on this album I just can't believe it.
"I'll let you celebrate and I'll see you later"
"okay bye scooter".
I opened twitter and started tweeting lots so crying emojis and random letters. "@AribellaGrande: thankyou so fucking much my loves. This is a dream come true. I love you all. See you tonight at the Billboard Awards".
It's now midday and I'm sat on my couch replying to some congratulations texts from friends and family. I got off the phone to my mom about ten minutes ago, she cried with happiness and told me repeatedly how proud she is of me. Justin walked in with his phone to his ear.
"If she wants to come and stay with me she can. I don't mind, you know that. I've miss her so much so let her come...yeah I'll pick her up from the airport...okay bye" "who was that?" "My dad, Jazzy wants to come and stay with me for a bit. She's coming in two days" aw Jazzy, I haven't met her but she's so cute.

I'm backstage at the BBMAs and I go on stage in about ten minutes, I'm so excited. My outfit is all black with some killer boots. My phone buzzed and it was a twitter notification, I clicked on it and my heart melted. "@justinbieber: I'm so proud of you @AribellaGrande. Your album is fire, love you. Go kill it on stage baby" he's so cute. I retweeted his tweet and locked my phone.
"Aribella are you ready?" I nodded. Tonight I'm doing a little medley of Touch It and Why Try. I put in my ear pieces and grabbed my mic, I made my way on stage and the crowd started screaming. The best feeling.
"Na na na na na na na" I finished the song and the crowd was so loud. I think I did good, well I hope so. I walked backstage to see the person I've missed all day. "Hey baby" Justin said and gave my a hug "I told you you'd kill it".
"Ari?" I heard my name being called behind me and I turned around to see my friend Don Benjamin.
"Hey what are you doing here?" I asked whilst hugging him.
"I'm just here seeing the show"
"you come alone?"
"Oh no, I'm with my girlfriend, babe come here" he said and telling whoever it is to come over.
"Ari this is my girlfriend, Tiana Cruz". I looked up as he said her name and she was stood there with a bitchy smile on her face. Great.
