Case Closed (Hariana | H.S & A.G)

Part 9: I Said No

Ariana's POV

"What the fuck is wrong with me" I exclaim as I hide my face in my hands. I can't stop thinking of last night, I can't believe I told Harry I'm still in love with me, I mean I am but why did I have to tell him.

"Yeah, I was the drunk one! Who would've thought you would be the one to word vomit all over your ex" Amy says and I can't help but burst out laughing.

"Oh my gosh, I hate you so much! At least I didn't actually vomit" I laugh as she and I continue to eat breakfast in my hotel bed, it was about 7 in the morning and I can't believe I'm up so early but Amy has a flight out of LA very soon so we decided to have breakfast before she heads off. I on the other hand have a last minute meeting with my good friend and director Judd Apatow tomorrow since he heard I was in town and wanted to meet up and talk. Unfortunately he wasn't free today so I have to waste another day in LA all by myself.

"Don't worry, as much as I hate to admit it, I've done the exact same, I mean I was drunk and I only called them, and I called them a piece of shit who had no idea what they were missing. I think I told them to remember my body because they'd never see something like it again which was.... but I mean I survived! And I never had to face them again! You'll be fine" Amy says as she digs into her pancake.

"But I don't want it to be over! Although I definitely did a lot of damage to my chances. I don't know, I just remembered how I heard he had a girlfriend so I thought it wouldn't hurt to just say anything because he could continue on with his life anyways. But as I was talking I realized how much it would hurt to think how he might not care about my feelings and it hurt, and it still kinda does so that backfired" I admit, who knew expressing how I feel would make things worse.

"Ari please how do you think he- scratch that any guy, would be able to just go back to their girlfriend after hearing you love them? You're like the dream girl, you're nice, smart, funny, loving, maybe not as pretty as me but still! All I'm saying is just stay away from Ben okay, don't go expressing any feelings you may have to him" she says referring to her boyfriend and I roll my eyes.

"You're never gonna let me live this down are you?" I groan. I can already imagine her just casually bringing up how I made a complete fool of myself to my ex-boyfriend as I'm just minding my own business watching a movie or something.

"Oh never, this is gold, and totally makes up for that time you and I were on a walk and I confidently gave that guy in his car false directions without even realizing" she says as I laugh. I've been teasing Amy for years about how some guy asked her for directions to a building and she just casually told him to 'go straight and take a left and it'll be right there' even though it was much further away and he was driving in the wrong direction. I wanted to say something too but she said it so confidently I didn't realize until moments after she finished and by then he had already said thank you and started driving.

"I guess I deserve it" I sigh as I pour a bit more maple syrup on my pancakes.

...

"Alright, call me when you land so I know that the airline is safe to fly with" I joke as I give Amy a hug. It's around 8:30 now and she has to go catch her flight meanwhile I'll probably just lay in bed and try my best to forget about what a disaster I am. At the same time, I can't help but laugh, I mean it hurts to think about Harry but I'm in a pretty good place mentally and I don't want this to bring me down, I just have to let it go. I have the right to be upset but I also know that as long as I keep a positive mindset it'll all be fine, and I deserve to just be happy.

"Of course, I'll make sure everything's up to code for your flight later on this week" she says as we pull away from each other and say one last goodbye before finally parting ways. I close the door and head back into my room, I decide to brush my hair and put on a fresh pair of clothes so I avoid just jumping back in bed straight away, I decide to put on a simple and comfortable romper so that I can feel like I have my life together.
