Ariana's pov

"He's unconscious" I heard someone said. I walked through the hallways of a.. Hospital? I guessed. It was completely silent except for the heart monitor slowly beeping, echoed through my head. "Is he going to make it?" I stopped walking when I heard the lady's voice on my right. I looked over and saw two doctors trying to reanimate the man's life. As I approached to see who it was, one of the doctors almost pushed me back telling me I couldn't do that. So I stayed in the aisle, still looking at what was happening. After almost half an hour, the heart line went dead. "He's gone" The doctors desperately got out of the room, and I took the opportunity to enter it. Not too sure of myself, I slowly walked to the lifeless body laying right before me. I pulled down the covers, and I couldn't believe my eyes at what I saw. Tears were running down my cheeks, I covered my mouth trying not to scream at the top of my lungs. -

"Ari! Wake up!" I jumped when I heard Prince's voice as he shook me up. My forehead was dripping of sweat, and I was breathing heavily, it took me a while to realize I was just dreaming. "It's me baby.." Prince tried to comfort me as he embraced me, "don't be scared" he whispered in my ear while he was rocking me back and forth. After some long minutes, I finally calmed down.

"What happened, baby? you were screaming and crying in your sleep" he wiped my still wet and flushed cheeks. "I-I'm sorry.. I-I-" my voice cracked, "Hey.. don't be sorry, okay? it was only a nightmare, it just happens... You look so terrified, calm down baby.."

"Can you tell me what happened please?" Prince asked, he was still holding me in his arms. I sniffled through my nose before speaking, "It was my brother..." I felt tears building up in my eyes again. He immediately understood what I meant, "I'm sorry baby.. It's gonna pass.. Do you want to lay down with me?" he suggested, but I kind of ignored his question. "I need to call him.." I took the phone in my hands, "Ariana, it's 4am.. don't you want to call him later in the morning?" I dialed the number "No, I need to know.." I put the phone to my ear, and waited for a response.

"Hello.." I felt my heart releaving a lot of stress, a loud sigh came from me. "Oh my God.. Jai? Are you alright?" I rubbed my temples, "Y-Yeah.. but why calling me in the crack of dawn?" he said still with his sleepy voice. "I just wanted to know if you were doing fine.. I'll call you tomorrow, okay? I'm sorry for waking you up" I could finally breathe normally. "It's alright, kitten" he smiled through the phone, and I did too. "Goodnight.. I love you" "I love you too" we hung up.

"See? I told you everything was going to be alright.." Prince said as he wrapped his arms around me. "Yeah, thank you babe" I pecked his lips. "Let's fall asleep now..".
-

I woke up in the late afternoon, I guessed that Prince let me sleep this time. "Sleepyhead.." I heard his voice in the room, which made me grin. When I looked at him he was standing on the door frame until he sat on the bed next to me. "You wanna talk about last night?" he placed his hand on top of mine, "I'm fine" I sat up. He gave me a peck on my forehead, "Do you want me to cook something for you?" he asked, "No, it's okay" "Alright... tell me if you need me, I'll be in the studio to finish some things" he played with my fingers. I only nodded my head before I watched him leave the room, so I decided to get my 'breakfast'.

A few days later

The phone ringing broke the sudden silence, I was too sleepy to answer it, but I eventually gave in, so I took the phone. "Hello?" I put the phone to my ear, "Mrs. Anderson?" I frowned a bit at the unfamiliar voice, "Yes?" "I.. uh.. I have bad news for you" the fear I had from the other night, suddenly hit me again. "W-What?" I said very quietly, "Your brother passed away this morning".
