Year 2015
Prince's pov
Things had been going well, I must've said. Ariana just came back from her tour, and I missed her so much. I was worried though, because I knew that she was struggling to breathe at times, nobody noticed, but I did. Her heart could've stopped at any time, and that was scaring me the most. The people from her entourage and I had suggested her to take a break, but she never listened. She even stated in a recent interview that nothing will stop her from making music. She did too much more than her body could handle, but never knew it.
As I felt a sharp burning pain around my hip area, I swallowed the pills that were resting in the palm of my hand, drinking a whole glass of water. I went back into our room, Ariana was still peacefully sleeping. I crawled up the bed, and placed my arms around her. I kissed the tip of her nose, and buried my face in her neck, listening to her heart beating. I felt her hands travelling down to my waist, that's when I knew she woke up. "Hi baby..." I whispered as she slowly opened her eyelids, she smiled rubbing her eyes, she looked so happy. Her hands found my hair, slightly playing with my tight afro curls. "You like it that way, don't you?" a smile curved on my lips. "I love all your hairstyles" she said in a sleepy voice.
We had breakfast together, and spent the meridian with each other's company. Everything was doing fine, until she told me that she needed to go see an old friend of hers, whom once featured in her first movie. "You just came back to me and you already want to leave?" I uttered, trying my best to make her stay with me. "Just for a few hours, Prince" she said. She didn't understand how much I wanted to be with her. "Is he better than me or what?" I snapped. "No.. of course not baby.." she tried giving me a hug, but I dodged myself away. She looked at me with sad eyes, and then left my door.
After trying to call her many times, I decided to leave a message in her voicemails; Hi baby, it's me.. I'm so sorry for what I did.. you know I did not mean that, right? just please come back here, I miss you... If you're not coming back, at least be safe, okay? I know I haven't told you this lately, but, I love you.. call me back please".
A few hours later, when I couldn't sleep, I felt someone crawling up the bed, I turned around and saw Ariana next to me. "You're back.." I hugged her tightly, and we stayed like that for a couple of minutes. "I love you too, Prince" she said after we pulled back, making me hug her once again.
A month later, Ariana was still doing come and go at her friend's place, and I was starting to really worry about this situation, because I felt like we had lost some kind of connection between each others. I spent hours thinking and wondering what was she doing with him. Maybe I was wrong though, but it was very strange. "Ari? can I talk to you?" I asked in a soft voice, she just nodded her head but didn't move a single finger. I sat on the chair next to her, and grabbed her hand. I sighed before I spoke again, "Have I done something to you?" I asked, not really sure where to start. "No, why?" she looked straight ahead,
I took a few seconds to think about my answer, and finally spat it out, "Look at me in the eyes, and say you love me.." I knew that eyes couldn't lie, and I had to make sure about what was happening.
