Manchester 💔

Ariana POV
Today I was performing in Manchester and I was so excited. I was messaging Mac because I had time to.

Mac: hey baby what's up
Ari: I have time to spare so I wanted to call you
Mac:okay baby, have fun out there tonight
Ari: I will try
Mac: I have to go my manager wants me
Ari: okay I love you
Mac: I love you 2

I went on stage and sung my heart out and I really did enjoy myself until I got off stage

"You were great today" Brian says as he pulls me into a hug but we pull away

*bang*

"Wtf was that" I say and they shrug, I look on the stage and see everyone screaming and running I get pulled back by Scott and Brian "Ari it was a bomb we need to get you out of here" they tell me and move me to the dressing room. "Where's my mum she was in the audience" I ask "she getting people safe" they tell me

Mac POV
I was in the studio and the news was in I wasn't Paying attention until I saw on the screen grande concert bombed my heart sunk "turn the sound on" I shout and they do as I listen I get tears in my eye and I started to cry "Mac" they say and I shush them suspected terror attack at grande concert i pull out my phone and try calling her

You have reached the voicemail of Princess please try again later. I try again You have reached the voicemail of Princess please try again later

I thought to my myself that she was gone that person that bombed the concert took her life, I was thinking of the worst all I wanted to know was if she was safe

"Mac" my manager screams at me "yes" I say back "Mac go home, you can't concentrate without knowing she safe I know you and you red to make sure she's safe" my manger says and I nod as I grab my bags and head to my car "Mac I'm driving you home I don't want you having an accident" my manger says and I nod I didn't want to argue with him.

I tried again and again to get through to her and I just went to voicemail.

To princess: baby please tell me you alright
I hope your ok
I love you

I got home and went straight to my bed and I heard the door ring but I didn't go and answer it "Mac hunny you here" it was my mum and she came up the stairs and hugged me "I'm sure she's fine" my mum says and I just cry even more, "Mac stop think of the worst she'll be devastated her fans are her babies" my mum says and I nod "I know I just don't want to loose her"

Ariana POV
I got escorted into a car and I looked out and saw people running tears were coming down my face. I look at my phone and see 10 messages from Mac and 7 miss calls and 4 off Scooter

Mac must be wired I open scooters message

From scooter: Ari I'm sorry I hope your alright
To scooter: I'm fine just upset
From scooter: good, your going to the airport your going to bocca
To scooter:okay.

My next move was to call Mac

Mac POV
My mum made me some food but I wasn't really hungry but she made me eat it,waiting for the call was painful, I wanted to hear her voice.

My phone went off and I answer it it was her my mum came and sat with me

Ariana POV
I call Mac and he answers with in seconds "Ari are you alight....I hope your alright..tell me your safe" Mac says down the phone not giving me a chance to answer "baby I'm fine just upset people died and it's my fault they were there for me" I tell him "Ari I have to be with you I coming to Manchester" Mac tells me "I'm not staying here I'm going home Bocca home" I tell him "I'll be there I love you" "I love you 2" and I start to cry even more.

Mac said he would be there but I thought he would be there after but I didn't know, I got on the plane and everyone fell asleep but I didn't I was too upset and all I could think about was what happened.

The plane landed and my mum grabbed Toulouse and I walked to the door and I saw Mac standing there down at the bottom waiting for me I wanted to smile but I couldn't, I walked straight into his arms and I gave him a kiss. "Your safe, your alright" Mac tells me, I didn't have the energy for anything I practically collapsed into his arms. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist and he carries me into an awaiting car.

Me and Mac got one car and my mum and the others got another car. Mac got in after giving my mum as hug and pulled me close to him "I will be here for you for as long as you wan you mean more to me than my career" Mac tells me as I lay my head on his shoulder "where we going" I ask Mac "to your family house" he tells me as we pull up outside the house.

Mac POV
Ariana had no energy and tbh I don't blame her she hasn't slept in 24 hours she steps out the car and I carry her into the house. Her mom was ready there and she open the door for me and I carry her in and place a Ariana on the couch. "Are you alright Joan" I ask her and she nods "im fine but we need to concentrate on Ariana and making sure she gets happy" she tells me and I nod "im going to take her to bed see if I can get her to sleep" I tell Joan and she nods, she knows I want the best for her.

I walk back over to Ariana who is on the couch in a ball, I pick her up and she buried her head into my chest, I walk to her room and place her on the bed. I didn't care about getting her changed at this moment in time I wanted to make sure she's alright.

I get in the bed with her and cuddle her "try get some sleep" I tell her "can I at least get changed" she asks and i nod as I get her some shorts and a top. I help her get changed and get in next to her and cuddle her as she drifted off to sleep, she fell asleep and I cuddled with her for 10 minutes making sure she was asleep.

I slowly move away from her and walk out to where her mum was "how is she" she asks "she's fallen asleep, can I please have a drink" I ask and she nods "good help yourself" Joan says and I walk into the kitchen and grab a drink

"Joan" I say and she walks Into the kitchen "can I ask what happened" I als and she nod as we sit together at the breakfast bar. "She finished her concert and walked back stage and there was a bang and everyone started screaming and then we found out it was a bomb." Joan tells me and I nod "thank you, for telling me I don't want to ask Ariana because I need to concentrate on making Ariana feel happy" I tell her and Joan smile "Mac you have your own tour to focus on" Joan says "Ariana means way more to me than anything, I have waited so long for her to be mine and now she is and I need to be with her" I tell Joan "you always have cared for her I'm so happy she has you to take care of her" Joan says and I smile.

We get interrupted by Ariana screaming, I jumped of the stool and ran to her room to see Arian day on the bed with heavy breaths, I run over to her and pull her into a hug "baby you safe" I tell her over and over "why did this happen to me" she tells me crying "I don't know babu you and your fans don't deserve it" I tell her

Ariana POV
I can't sleep without dreaming about what's happened and Mac has done so much for me and I am so grateful of it and I will make it up to him, he say and cuddled me all day after I woke up until it was night time, we lead in bed together and my mum brought us both a bottle of water, "thank you Joan" Mac says I could speak but my mum know that I am grateful. I lay down and Mac lays next to me "baby are you going to leave me like you did before" I ask and he kisses my fire head "no baby I'm going to stay right here" he tells me, I fell asleep and I'm sure Mac did as well.
