Why Try

Chapter 33

I can't believe I'm turning twenty one in three days. Now I'm a mother I don't feel like drinking or having a party I just want to chill and have a movie night with my favourite people. Justin has been acting shifty for about two weeks now and it's starting to piss me off. I'd ask him what's up and he'll say something like "nothing I-I'm just doing this or that" and he will stutter like mad so I know he's lying to me. Obviously I think the worst and think he's cheating but then I think, he has a baby here so why would he you know?.

Justin's P.O.V
I can't tell her. I know I'm acting shifty and not myself but it's all for something good and she will love it. I have organised her a huge party for her birthday on Saturday and I've asked my mom to look after Wolf for us and of course she said yes she was so happy when I asked her. I hate sneaking around Aribella but in the end I know she'll love what I have planned. I have Kendall and Hailey organising the DJ and Za and Alfredo getting the decorations and cake for Aribella. I know she said she doesn't want a big party but she's gonna be twenty four she has to celebrate it.
Today I'm in the studio finished my album off and I can't believe it's nearly done. I heard the door open and someone step in "hey sorry to bother you guys but can you tell me where room 5SK is please I can't find it" some guy said, I was on my phone just texting Aribella.
"Yeah it's down the hall, turn left and then up the stairs" I turned around and my eyes widened.
"Shawn? Shawn Carter?" I said I stared at the guy.
"Oh my god hey Justin" I walked over to Shawn and gave him a hug, I can't believe it.
"How long has it been? Eight-nine years?" I asked.
"Yeah" He asked. Me and Shawn basically grew up together, we were always together back in Canada. We were best friends, until I moved out here and lost contact.
"Scooter this is Shawn, we were bestfriends before I loved out here all those years ago"
"no way. Hey man" he said shaking his hand. Shawn said hello back.
"You putting out some music?"
"Yeah I recently got signed so I'm just releasing a single soon"
"No way man. I have to finish my album so do you want to meet up soon? We need to catch up bro" I asked him as my phone buzzed in my pocket.
"Yeah sure. Here's my number"
"oh I'm throwing a party for my girlfriend on Saturday you should come, I'll text you the details"
"okay thanks man" Shawn said as he gave me another hug and left the room. That was crazy.
x.x.x.
So tonight is the night of the party and I'm so nervous like what if she says she not coming? She has to. I'm currently upstairs Justin putting my outfit on. I'm wearing acid washed blue jeans with a red and black checkered shirt and white vans. I made my way downstairs to find Aribella on her phone.
"Why is no one answering my texts? It's my birthday and no one has been to see m- oh you look nice where are you going?" She asked and locked her phone. "We are going out to dinner, go get changed"
"okay will you get Wolf ready?"
"He's not coming tonight" I said she stopped walking and turned to me
"What do you mean?"
"My mom is looking after him tonight, she'll be here soon"
"oh, does she mind?"
"No, she was more than excited when I asked her"
"aw thankyou baby. I don't know what to wear though"
"There's a lil surprise of the bed for you". She ran up the stairs like a lightening bolt to see her gift.

Aribella's p.o.v
I entered our bedroom and my heart nearly leapt out of my chest. On the bed there was a beautiful sparkly dress and a pair of heels. The dress was covered in crystals and I instantly fell in love with it and the hells were equally gorgeous I could cry. I love Justin so much.

"Pattie are you sure you don't mind?"
"No honey, go and enjoy your birthday. Go go" She hugged us both and we left and made our way to dinner.
"Are you okay? You're acting weird. Your hands are sweating"
"I'm fine babe"
"Justin what are we doing here?" I asked him but he just ignored me. Rude. We walked down some steps and Justin opened a black door. "SURPRISE" a big crowd of people shouted. My hands cupped my mouth, it's just like the surprise party I had two years ago. My baby.
The place was full of family and friends, Kendall, Kim, Hailey, Madison, Tiana, Lauren and her boyfriend were all here. A man was stood talking to Justin I haven never seen him before. I can't believe he's done all this for me, the decorations were insane "ARIBELLA 21" was said in pink balloons and fairy lights were all around the place creating a moonlight glow.
"Baba?" I turned around to see my mom stood there..what? I embraced her in a tight hug as I tried not to cry, I haven't seen her in so long I have missed her like you wouldn't believe.
"Justin flew me out here. He's a keeper honey"
"I know, I can't believe you're here" I said hugging her again.

The party has been going on for about an hour now and I'm having thee best time. Everyone has brought me a gift and they are piled up on a table at the back of the room. I'm so grateful to have these people in my life, I'm missing Wolf thou-" I was cut off my Justin's voice, he was on stage. What is he doing??.
"Can I just get everyone's attention please" he's said through a microphone.
"I just want to say a few words.
"I first met Aribella two years ago when she was just 18 years old and then a couple days after it was her nineteenth birthday. She tweeted me a link to her and her bestfriend Tiana's YouTube channel. Once I heard one song I couldn't stop listening to her sing I just knew I had to meet her. I remember when I asked her to be my girlfriend, I was nervous but it was cute" the crowd laughing and I stood staring at him. "Where is she?"he said looking into the crowd.
"There you are, come up here" embarrassed..I put my drink down and made my way up to the stage. I gave him a kiss and he continued looking in my eyes.
"I'm so lucky to have you, you have blessed me with the best gifts. We have a beautiful baby and I have you" my eyes began to well up, I'm the lucky one.
"I know you're embarrassed right now but I just wanted to tell you how I feel about you, you make me so happy and I love you so much and you're most probably wondering why I'm rambling on so much" he said scratching the back of him head. Hmm.
"You look amazing tonight, doesn't she guys?" The crowd shouted back and clapped, by this time tears were down my face.
"So there is one more thing I'd like to say" he took and deep breath in and knelt down on one knee. WHAT THE FUCK. "Aribella, You complete my life, I don't know what I'd do without you. I'm so glad I met you because look at us now" I can't even think straight right now, is this even real? The crowd was silent as Justin made his speech. His eyes were glued to me, I looked down at him with tears streaming down my face. I can't believe this.
"So Aribella Grande will you make me the happiest man alive and erm..marry me?".
