Closer than ever (completed)

❤️

Mac POV
I hate getting woken up but if it's because Ariana woke me up I can deal with it.
"Malcom,Mac" I hear my name being called out. I open my eyes to see Ariana crying "baby what Happened" I asked "I had a bad dream it was all my fault" she says, I wipe the tears away from her eyes with the lad of my thumb "baby your not your fault for this" I try to reassure her "they were there for me" she says, I bring her closer to me and pull her into a hug "I know they were baby, but you didn't set the bomb off you couldn't prevent it, none of this was your fault" I say, I know whys she hurting I'm hurting as well. "Baby can we sleep with the light on" she asks which took me by surprise I switch the lamp on and she cuddles into me "I'm sorry" she says "sorry for what" I ask "waking you" she says "I I have to wake up with you in the middle of the night then I will, I want you to feel safe, I want you to be alright, it's just going to take time." I tell her I kiss her forehead and she falls back swiftly into a deep sleep.

She never woke up again that night because the next time I woke up it was 10am, Scooter was meant to be coming round today but I don't think she in a good frame of mind for this today.

She's peacefully sleeping next to me I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen "Joan I don't think it's a good idea if she plans the Manchester today she's not doing well she woke up early hours again" I tell her "I think your right" Joan says.

There's a knock at the door and we knew it was Scooter I go to the door and open it "hey Scooter," I say opening the door. Before I could speak Ari came to the door with red puffy eyes crying "baby it's alright I say pulling her into a hug "it's not alright" she says "you broke your promise of never leaving me" she says "I'm so sorry Ari" I say.

I can tell she's crying into my chest we let Scooter in and he went and talked to Joan, I take Ariana to her room, "babu, I'm scared to go back" she says "you will be" I tell her trying not to make her worse "can you come back with me" she asks "of course I will, I'm not him to let you do it alone" I tell her and she lets out a little smile "do you want to give the planning a rest today or not"
I ask her "let's just get the planning over with"

Ariana POV
Me and Mac walk into the kitchen my hand grasping his and we sit down around the island, "Ariana we have had some Artist that have called me that want to be apart of this event but I want to know if you want them there" Scooter says "okay" "Miley said she would, Coldplay, black eye peas, little mix, Nial Horan,take that, a school choir, Imogen heap" Scooter says "that's good I like all of them" I say "I have a question do you want Justin to perform as well I know you 2 don't have a good bond" Scooter says "he should and he can't say no" I tell Scooter and he laughs.

"Right that's it planned we just need a schedule and to advertise it now" Scooter says and I nod.

When scooter leaves I go over and hug Mac "baby can we go back to bed" I ask and he nods her carries me into the bedroom and we lie down together.

Mac POV
I tried to thing of ways I could make her feel better but there was nothing, all I could do was be here with her. Watching her in the pain and sadness is hurting me and the fact I can't heal her makes it even worse to watch.

"Baby" I hear snapping me out of my thoughts "y-yes Ari" I say "I love you" she says and she butted her head into my chest "I love you 2 Ari"

It wasn't long before I hear quiet snores coming out of her.

I was meant to protect her but she got hurt, i never want to leave her again but I know I will have 2. I don't know how she is going to be able to perform next week.

I started to cry, I hated crying, Ariana looks up at me confused "baby why you crying" she asks wiping them away "I was meant to protect you but you go hurt instead, I should have been there with you" I tell her. "Mac, you do protect me what are you doing now, you put your career at risk for me that's the most anyone has ever done for me. We know that we don't like being separated but is the negative of our relationship, we know that when we are together we take every last minute together as it was our first and last, I love you for what you have done and for dripping everything for me that's the best I could ask for" she says, I'm speechless I couldn't say anything but "I love you" she knew what them words meant and how much I meant it. I wrap my arms tightly around her.

"Ariana" Joan calls out interrupting this moment. "Yes mommy" she says "Frankie here" Joan says. I unwrap my arms just knowing how much Ariana wanted to see her brother. She dives out of bed and I get out with her, as soon as she sees her brother she jumps on him "I'm here now" she says "I've missed you thanks for coming" she tells him "its fine, I'm so sorry for what happened " Frankie says "it's alright"

Ariana POV
Frankie coming has cheered me up, I have wanted to see him since it happened but he was busy and I understand that he couldn't just drop everything I know he would have done.

Mac was in the kitchen with my mum talking about things but I wasn't really bothered, me and Frankie was on the couch having a catch up. Mac soon cam and joined us and I moved to sit in his lap being in his arms makes me feel safe let alone having him as mine here with me.

Frankie was staying with us and I was happy. I decided that I wanted to watch a film in bed with Mac so I gave Frankie a hug and we went to the room.  Mac shut the door behind him and he put in a film we cuddled in bed.

Frankie POV
Seeing Ariana this sad is so heart breaking she is the nicest and most caring person. "Hi mommy" I say walking into the kitchen " hey Frankie, how is she" she asks "she's gone and and watched a movie with Mac in her room, but she's cheered up after a while" I tell her "good she had a good day and then had a breakdown and locked herself in the bathroom but at least she's staring to cheer up.

Me and my mum had a catch up but we get interrupted by a scream coming from her room ahhhhh fuck Mac

I roll my eyes knowing exactly what's going on in that room. "Get used to it" my mum says and I look at her confused "used to what" I say "this is the forth time they have done it" Joan tells me "how can you sit through that" I ask "it is uncomfortable but it seems to make her feel a little better so I don't complain" my mum says "well at least it make her feel better that's what we want her to be happy again" I tell her and she nods

Mac POV
"Mac that was so good" Ariana says "when is it not good" I say jokingly "where your tired" she say trying to get out of the the bed "no you don't" i say grabbing her and pinning her down and tickling her.

She kicks and screams "Mac please stop it hurts my stomach" she says in uncontrollable amount of laughter. "Take it back then" I say carrying on tickling her "no it came out of my mouth and it spoken" she says making me laugh, that's such and Arian thing to do.

She manages to get free and puts in a teeshirt and runs out the room "I'm free" she shouts running into the kitchen "help me" she says as she hides behind her brother "what is going on" Joan asks "he won't stop tickling me" she says catching her breath.

Frankie grabbed hold of her and carried her to me which made me laugh "FRANKIE" she shouts as I grab her. "Sorry baby I'll stop" I say "you not sorry" she says.

"Mommy I'm starving" Ariana blurts out spoiling the silence that we were having "okay sweetie I'll call you when I have made you something" Joan says to her "ok thanks mommy" she says and I carry her back to the room.

There was a scream heard for the tv and Ariana screamed right down my ear "baby it's alright it's the tv" I say calming her down she buries her head into my chest in embarrassment.

Ariana POV
I put on some panties since I didn't have any on and my mum called us for tea, we walk out the bedroom hand in hand, we grab our food and say thank you and we all sit in the front room and eat, my mum had made me samon with vegetables which made me smile she had made my favourite food.

I was really tired so Mac put me to bed and stayed with me until I fell asleep.
