Closer than ever (completed)

Ariana POV
I wake up before Mac, and he was peacefully snoring. I got up out of bed and sorted the clothes I had on.  I walked to the bedroom door and looked back at Mac he looked so cute, I opened the door quietly, I hadn't really been out of bed in days. I walked into the kitchen to see my mum "morning baby" my mum says "morning mommy" I say back happily "you feeling better" my mum asks and I nod while I go to the fridge and get some strawberries and a bottle of water and go and sit next to my mum.

"Where's Mac" my mum asks "still asleep" she laughs "and I thought you were the late sleeper" and I laugh "mommy how are you dealing with this, you were there" I ask her "hunny, you need to realise that it wasn't your fault and if you can tell yourself that you will be able to move on" she tells me "your right, I'm gonna call scooter"

I get up and dial Scooter "Ariana it's okay" "scooter if we do nothing it's not okay" I tell him "I want to go back to Manchester and do a benefit concert and I can't perform until I have done that" I tell him "okay, we will start to arrange it tomorrow" Scooter tells me and we end the phone call.

"What did he say" "he said we will start planning it tomorrow" I tell my mum "okay sweetie" she says "hey mum do you think Mac will come back with me" I ask my mum "I'm sure he will, I don't think he would let you do it alone" my mum tells me.

I look at the time and see that it's 11:44 and I get up and walk into my room, "baby wake up" I say and I tap Mac on the shoulder, he opens his eyes and smiles "morning boo" he says pulling me into a hug. "Baby can I ask you something" I ask a little nervous

"Sure baby girl"he says as he pulls me down to sit on the bed "I have called scooter and I asked if I could do a benefit concert" I tell him "that's a good idea baby" he says "I was wondering if you would come back with me" I ask him "I would love to come back with you and stay by your side, your problem is my problem" he says which makes me smile.

Mac POV
I couldn't be more proud of Ari for coming through this, she looks a lot happier and I am glad I missed the smile. "Baby why don't you go and take a shower" I tell her and she nods as she walks to the closet that didn't really have anything in. She walks out while I get dressed and go into the kitchen "morning Mac" Joan says "morning Joan" I sat back to her."Ariana seemed a lot better, what you 2 did last night must have worked" Joan tells me I laugh "but must have, I think she wants to be active again" I tell Joan and she nods "where is she" she asks "I made her have a shower" I say and Joan laughs "God a remember when she was little we had to stop her from having baths and showers because she was constantly in the shower or bath" Joan tells me and I laugh "mum is there ever a time you don't say embarrassing thing about me to Mac" Ariana says waking in "sorry Ari, can't help myself" Joan tells her "hey babu" she say hugging me "hey" I say giving her a quick kiss. I could tell she was felling better just by the way she was acting.

Ariana POV
Me and Mac ran around the house trying to find each other and playing, we were acting like children but that's one thing I like about Mac is that we can act like anything we want in front of each other.

My mum was just laughing at us, I really did feel better and I just wanted to be back to work but I had to wait a little while for us to plan Manchester.

Me and Mac ended up in the sofa cuddled up watching a film, we didn't watch tv because the news would be about the attack and I really didn't want to hear more about it.

Joan made me my favourite food and I ate it within minutes, "Ari were you hungry" Mac asks and I nod my head "when aren't I" I say and mac laughs,

It got late and we went to bed I gave my mum a hug before I went into the room and I got changed into one of Macs tops a wrapped my arms around him "I'm so proud of you" Mac says, I peck his lips "I love you, you don't know how grateful I am to have you" I tell him as he kisses me again "I love you 2"
