C o l e s POV

Walking through the hallway of the school, I looked for the last two people I needed to invite to the party I was holding tomorrow night; Ariana and Justin. As much as I dreaded finding them, I really wanted them to come. Well, Ariana, to come but she probably wouldn't show up without Justin and I know it wouldn't hurt to invite him, either. He was known for parties.
School was over and only a few kids walked through the hallways, and I started getting frustrated. Their probably gone, I may as well text it to them or something. As I started walking out the school, I saw them but instantly wanted to turn around.

Of course, they were connected by the lips against the car. I tried hard not to roll my eyes since it bothered me so much. They were good though because some students would walk by, staring at them but they didn't even care. Not that they could see anyway.

Justin's hand slowly rose underneath Ariana's top as she smiled in the kiss, running her hands along his cheek. I looked down at the ground, running a hand through my hair and sighing.

She was so happy with him. I would never be able to make her smile like that.
I meant it when I told her that I didn't want to ruin her being happy. I don't know if she believed me or not, but it was the truth. I'd never seen her smile so much or laugh so much last year.

I waited a little longer and they finally broke up, Justin was now hugging her from behind as she laughed at something he said in her ear. I may as well do it now, while they're not ready to rip each others clothes off. I walked over catching their attention and Justin's grip on Ariana tightened, his jaw locking. I guess I couldn't blame him.

"Hey guys," I said emotionlessly, walking up to them. Ariana smiled but Justin, on the other hand looked unhappy.

"Hey." She replied, moving to the side so only one of Justin's hands wrapped around her waist.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come to the party I'm holding tomorrow night." I replied, scratching the back of my neck. "It'll be at mine and you can come any time after school."

They both nodded, Ariana still smiling, which I did back before walking away. It was easier than I thought it would be. I never understood why she forgave me for everything I put her through but that's part of the reason why I have this pathetic feelings for her.

I looked back at them one last time, Ariana's hands were now around Justin's neck as he hands wrapped around her lower back, him leaning against the car. I sighed one last time and walked towards my car.

A r i a n a s POV

"So are you going to go?" I asked him, as he looked towards the side, his jaw locked. I didn't mind though, it showed his perfect jawline which I couldn't help but kiss.

"I guess. I mean, I would be a bit more happier to go if it wasn't Cole's party but as long as I don't have to see him." He said, looking back at me with anger in his eyes.

"What are you afraid of, babe?" I asked him as he sighed. I hadn't been to a party in a while and I really wanted to go to one. Especially with Justin. He's been so loving lately, I can't help but fall in-love with him more each day as cliché as that sounds.

I was never really the cliché type and I never really relied on anyone either. But, lately the way that I feel about Justin has just changed my whole view of the completely; I don't care if I say something cheesy because if I mean it then what's the difference? But I feel like without Justin, I'd be lost. It's so stupid, really, but I can't help but feel that way about someone who has been in my life for such a long time.
