Chapter 9: One Last Time
This chapter, while late, is dedicated to the victims of the tragic attack at the Manchester show on May 22, 2017. My hearts are with the families and Team Grande"Great show, guys!" I say, high-fiving the dancers.
"Woo. I'm ready for the next stop." Mom says, "but these Man-" all of a sudden we hear a loud bang. It doesn't sound like a balloon.
"What the fuck was that?" I say. I try to run out to the foyer, as that's where I heard the blast. All of a sudden I'm held back by security.
"Ms. Grande. We can't let you go out there. A bomb went off," one of the guards say.
"No please! I need to get to my fans. I need to make sure they're okay!" I yell, starting to become hysterical. Panic is all I feel.
"Come on, hurry up! Ariana is fine you guys. All that matters is you get out safe!" My mom yells as fans run through.
"IM A MURDERER. IM A FUCKING MURDERER!" I scream out.
"Brian. Scott. You have to calm her down." I feel the twins pick me up and take me to Alfredo and I bury my head in his chest as he walks me out.
"I wanna end my career like I ended their lives," I say.
"Ari. This isn't your fault."
"YES IT IS. IF MY DUMBASS HAD'NT HAD THIS CONCERT NONE OF THIS SHIT WOULD HAPPEN."
"Ariana. You need to calm down. You gave these people the best night of their lives. They died happily. None of this is your fault." Alfredo says. I try to disagree but I start to feel light headed. I pass out as we enter the bus.
A/N
Hey guys. So I haven't updated this book in ages. I figured I would wait until the situation calmed down. I had writers block since the last update, and I hate that the attack had to give me inspiration. This chapter was hard for me to write. The parts about her being a murderer and wanting to end her career were rumored to have been said, so please don't think I said those things about her. Once again, the victims of the attack are always in my thoughts and prayers.
