"When is it going to be done?"

"Ariana, I told you; it's still loading." Jones Crow, Ariana's director and dear friend, chuckled as the redhead pouted.

"You said that 5 minutes ago!" she whined, folding her arms.

Jones shook his head, a smile on his face. He showed the girl the computer screen, and she saw 'Video Posted.' Ariana squealed and reached over to hug him, who hugged back. Immediately, she grabbed her phone to tweet her fans.

@ArianaGrande: Check out my latest cover here! Die In Your Arms by @justinbieber :) Hope you enjoy x

Ariana smiled at the positive comments she was getting.

Maybe Justin would say something too.. Ariana thought as she laughed as her fans freaking out over "Jariana," whatever that was.

"Ayy, Justin, guys! Come here and watch this," yelled Scooter Braun.

Justin Bieber, Alfredo Flores, and Ryan Good looked at each other with confused looks. The four were in the studio working on some music when they decided to take a break.

Justin's eyebrow raised as he made his way over to his manager, the two other boys following him. "What is it?" Justin inquired, pulling out a chair in front of the laptop Scooter was on.

"Just watch." Scooter pressed play on a YouTube video as Alfredo and Ryan surrounded them. A familiar, but yet different, tune reached his ears as the video showed a plate of cookies and a drink on a table besides a grand piano, which had a young, skinny girl playing it.

He then realized it was his song, Die In Your Arms, and that the girl was Ariana Grande, the Ariana Grande he met a couple of times before. She was wearing a white bandeau top and a blue and white floral patterned skater skirt with a pink bow tied in her hair. She looked absolutely gorgeous.

He stared at the beauty singing and couldn't help but get lost in her voice. It was perfect; the way she hit the notes, her hair, her smile, her laugh. Everything about her and her voice and her video just defined perfection.

Looks like she hasn't changed a bit.

The video ended, and the four boys stared at the blank screen in amazement.

"Damn," Alfredo breathed out.

"She's amazing," Ryan complimented.

"Isn't she? I'd love to sign her one day," Scooter said, walking out the door on his phone. Probably to search more about Ariana Grande, the girl who blew them away. Well, him, Alfredo, and Ryan. She blew Justin away a long time ago.

Speaking of Justin, he didn't say a single word. He slowly slid out his iPhone and opened the twitter app.

@justinbieber: WOW..u killed it @arianagrande <Ur voice sounds amazing.> #dieinyourarms

The three boys continued talking about the cover when Justin's phone made a ping! sound.

"Ugh," Ariana groaned, sitting up from her bed.

Why does my phone keep going off? she wondered, grabbing it from her bedside drawer.

As she was holding down the off button, a name caught her eye. Her finger slowly released the button and quickly moved over to unlock her phone.

Her eyes widened as she read the tweet Justin tweeted to her. A scream escaped her throat as she jumped up, hopping on her bed like the fan girl she is.

Justin Bieber saw her cover and said her voice sounded amazing. Who wouldn't be jumping right now?

Calming down, she retweeted the tweet and favorited it; her fingers swiping along the screen, replying to the tweet.

@ArianaGrande: @justinbieber yay!! I'm so happy you heard it and liked it. Thank you so much!! That means the world to me.. I love #Believe.. #RealMusic ♡

Justin smiled. In the corner of his eye, he saw Alfredo and Ryan look at each other and smirk.

"What?" he asked, looking up at them.

"Nothing," Alfredo said, laughing.

"It's obviously something."

Ryan shook his head. "Don't stress your head over it, but you don't see it, don't you?"

"See what?" Justin was seriously confused.

"That you like Ariana."

His eyes widened. "What? I don't. She's just a friend of mine."

"Sure you don't," Alfredo laughed again.

Justin scrunched his eyebrows together and looked back onto his phone. He retweeted and favorited Ariana's tweet; all the while thinking of what Scooter said about signing Ariana and how much they could get to hang out. That led him to thinking what Ryan had said.

Did he like Ariana?
