The day passed and my flight was the next morning. I packed everything. Justin and I drove to the airport in the morning for my flight.
     Once we got to the airport he laced his fingers with mine, holding my hand tight as we walked in. My flight was about a half hour from now. We walked out back, to where the airplane was and waited. We boarded the flight, and he sat in there with me until he had to leave.
   "It'll only be three weeks. Don't worry." I said. He frowned, and got up and sat on my arm chair, wrapping his arms around my shoulders.
  "Three weeks too long." He said. I hugged him tight.
  "Promise you'll call?" I asked.
  "Of course. I always have time for you." He said, kissing my forehead.
And attendant walked into the plane.
  "I'm sorry to interrupt, but it's time to go." She said.

   Justin looked at me and then took a deep breath.
  "Stay safe. I love you." He said, getting up. I got up and then kissed him, and then wrapped my arms around him tightly.
  "I love you, more." I said.

   As the plane backed up, I sat by the window, watching Justin wave as we flew off.

    Justin's POV
Ariana just left back to the U.S., and I don't know why but I'm sad. I know it's only 3 weeks, but it's another day I will go without seeing her. I've gotten so used to waking up to her every morning, that when it stops all of a sudden, it's strange. It's like a part of you is missing.

    A few days go by and it already feels like months. Every time I call Ariana, she's busy practicing. But tonight, we planned a call. I grabbed my dinner, and headed to my room in the Netherlands. I didn't even realize it's been a week.
   I open my laptop and call Ariana.
"Hey! Oh my gosh I miss you!" She said, as soon as the call connected.

   "I miss you more

"I miss you more. It feels so empty now having the house all to myself." I said.
"I know. I feel lonely without you here... only 14 days left." She said, shrugging. I sighed.
"How's tour planning been?" I asked.
"It's been great! Really, I mean Brian and Scott are coming up with some great dance moves, I can't wait for you to see." She said, in excitement. I laughed.
"What?" She said, covering her face.
"You're cute when you're excited."
She looked at me smirking.
"It's getting late. I should go... Goodnight. I love you." She said blowing a kiss.
"Goodnight, my princess. I love you." I said, ending the call.

      Ariana's POV
The next day, I went to practice wearing PT merch. I had Brian take a picture so that I could post.

   During our dance, I felt really winded.
  "Hey, are you okay?" Brian asked, noticeably.
  "Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about me." I said, bending over taking deep breaths. I suddenly felt sick to the stomach and ran to the bathroom. I pulled up the toilet seat and vomited.
  Bri and Scott ran over right away. Scott held my hair up.
"What is going on?" Scott asked, frantically.
"I probably just ate something bad." I said, wiping my face.
I suddenly felt very hot, so I took off the sweater, leaving my tank top on.
  "Woah!" Brian said, examining my chest.
  "Did you get a boob job while you were in Europe?" He said, jokingly.
"No, why?" I said, chuckling.
"Your boobs are huge. Practically double in size." Scott said.

  I ran over the the mirror, and saw.
"Holy shit." I said, playing around with them. I then furrowed my eyebrows, and turned around.
  "What day is it?" I asked.
  "Sunday." Scott said.
"No, I mean the date. What day is it?" I asked, frantically.
"October 9th- Ariana what's going on?" Brian asked. I froze and my jaw dropped.
  "It's late." Was all I could say.
"What- what's late?" They both asked. I walked over to the chair, and sat.
"My period. It's late." I said, looking off into the distance. All the sounds around me had suddenly muted. My mind was running in crazy whirls. Then all of a sudden, my stomach started turning and I felt the sudden urge to puke.
  "Woah, woah!" Scott said, chasing me to the toilet to hold my hair up.
I threw up, and then sat down, on the floor.
  "I'm pregnant."
