Dark Times

Now

Ariana's mom and Justin's mom, soon realized they were in the somewhat, the same position in life. They were similar, but their story was different. Ariana was sexually abused by her father. Justin was verbally and physically abused. 

{Ariana POV}

"JUSTIN!" I yelled his name "DID YOU TAKE THE LAST COOKIE?" 

"Yeah..." He said with his face stuffed 

I face palmed, and shook my face in both my hands. 

"It's fine, never mind." I heavily sighed

I wished my life was somewhat different... It's not all bad, but my upbringing was. I now what happened to me when I was two going on to four. 
I know I shouldn't have yelled at Justin, but I'm just cranky about the past. 

I stood still in the kitchen by the skin, feeling my eyes filled with tears for no reason. I never told anyone, not even my own mom about it. But I soon come to a realization I have severe depression, I've been taking anti-depressant secretly. 

I soon felt two hands covered over my eyes. 

"I have a surprise." I heard Justin say

"What is it?" I asked "Your chewed up cookie?" 

"Noooo." He replied

"Justin, what is it?" I asked calmly 

"It's this!" He said uncovering his eyes 

I turned around and see a snack basket. I smiled and looked at him.

"I premeditated this, because I know how much you hate that I eat everything." He explained "Sooooooo here." He smiled warmly 

"I love that you know me this well." I told him

"Can I get a hug?" He asked shaking his shoulders with his arms open

"Of course." I said happily and hugged him tightly

His head was placed on my shoulder as we stayed hugging.

"H-how come you were crying...?" He asked with concern

I froze and didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell him, before he run to his mom then Pattie will tell my mom. We all live underneath one roof.

"Ariana..." He waited for a responde "We're practically best friend and siblings. Just tell me please, I wanna make you happy."

"I know you do, Justin." I sighed "But I just wanna keep it to myself for a moment."

"Ariiiiii..." He dragged and broke our hug

"Justin, please leave it alone." I sighed

"No because it's my privacy and my own thought and feelings." I replied 

"But I just wanna see my little sis happy!" He said spinning around "SMILE!"

I faked smile. I didn't let this dork be sad, because I'm somewhat forever sad.

"ARIANAAAA!!!!" He screamed while spinning 

"JUSTINNN!" I did the same but without the dizziness   

"Oh come on." Justin stopped and try to catch his balance

"Oh come on." I mocked him

"Ari..." He refused to stop questioning me

"Juju..." I said "I just wanna watch movies."

"Then will those pretty eyes be hella dry?" He questioned
