Forever And Always (Ariana Grande Love Story

The Memory Game

(Wosodksksk okay hai. Uh yeah, read below lolol.)

Drakes POV:

I sat there staring at the ground, not knowing what to say. Too afraid to look up but too awkward to keep staring at the creaky wooden floor.

Until finally someone said something.

"So...you remember everything?"

I nodded, still not looking up.

"Like, who we are, where you've been, how you've been living..w-what you've been through... Your past?"

I looked up at Tony, who asked.

"Yeah. I remember everything" I repeated once more.

It was taking awhile for the guys to let it sink in. Even more for me to start having to deal with feelings that my coma let me out of for a few months.

"E-even like what I said b-before you like you know.."

A younger voice said this.

I finally looked up to see Proof's watery eyes gleaming at me from a distance. I got up to walk near him and knelt on my knees. I put my hand on his shoulder to get his attention.

"Proof, whatever you're thinking right now stop. No matter what's been done or what's been said, you're my brother until the end." I lowered my head to make sure we were at exact eye level now. "And absolutely nothing's gonna change that. Alright?"

A tear slipped out of his eye as he leaned in to hug me. And I held him there for awhile, not wanting to forget this moment. Because almost dying made me realize that life is precious, just as much as the people that give it purpose. And I never want to lose that again.

"Alright alright get a room ladies" Tony

said as a roar of laughter came from the guys.

I turned around and managed to smile for once. With everything that's been going on in my life it feels good to just enjoy a few minutes of my life.

And then the door bell rang.

"So hombre if you remember everything then what happened at the hospital? Like why'd you leave and why did we find you half dead at a gas station?" Ray Dogg asked as he got up to answer the door.

I looked to see who it was and I swear as soon as I heard her sweet angelic voice my heart stopped and went into overdrive. The last time I saw her was probably yesterday. She probably hoped I forgot about the almost attempt to kiss her because that's when I got my memory back but I didn't. It was literally all I could think about when I went to bed. And how beautiful she is, I didn't even notice that she started curling her already red curls in a different way now.

I felt a slam on my chest

"Damn speed racer! Slow down your engine man I mean we know Ari ignites it and kicks you into a turbo boost but shit we don't need you dying again ese!" And with that EVERYONE laughed.

I found Ari smiling at me as everyone laughed and I could almost feel my cheeks burning.

Oh god I'm blushing

I tried to look away but I felt Ari's soft warm hands on my cheeks, causing me to blush even more and as our eyes met, she pulled me into the warmest hug that I haven't felt since the day I went to return her car the day after she came to thank me for rescuing her. That was also the day Tony decided to shoot up Valencia 13 causing most of the shit I got into but I'd rather not focus on that.

I heard a roar of "awwws" echoing through the room as the guys noticed that our hug lasted a little bit longer than usual.

She let me go but this time she was blushing. Her cheeks almost matched the color of her hair and when she noticed me staring she managed to reveal that dimple that I adore.
