"Every look, every touch. Makes me wanna give you my heart." - Moonlight, Ariana Grande.

The whole ride back to the hotel, I couldn't stop crying. Justin sat with me in the back seat and comforted me, which somewhat helped. I still couldn't stop thinking about my family. I lied to them, I cheated them, I'm the worst daughter ever. I had to leave right after my baby brother was born. Not only that, but my parents felt so bad for me that they had his middle name name dafter me. Everyone thinks that I need time to myself, for at least a month. Well, what's going to happen after a month? They think that I'll come back home, but that probably won't ever happen. Who knows? They'll probably think I'm dead...

"We're here." Scooter announced, parking the car in the parking lot of the hotel. Justin turned to me and gave me a -Are you okay?- look. I nodded at him. We all got out of the car, and entered the lobby. Before we headed to the elevator, Scooter stopped in his tracks and turned around to face us. Specifically me.

"Ariana, before we go talk, I need you to know something." I nodded my head, not caring what anybody really has to say. "No matter what you do with your life, whether it's with us or your family, you have a true gift. Use it, and protect those who needs protecting." I don't know what he meant by that, let alone what my gift is, but I just nodded my head and he gave me a small smile. Looking at Ryan and Justin, I could easily tell they knew what he was talking about. I was going to question them, but I'd rather wait until we get to out hotel room.

The four of us entered the elevator, and pressed the fourth floor button. After the small ride, we got out and entered the room with the room key. I was the last one to enter the room, so I closed the door shut. The guys were already sitting down on the couch, waiting for me. I guess it's time to see what the hell Scooter wants.

Sighing, I sat down on the table that was in front of the couch so I was facing the guys. A few moments of silence passed by before Scooter spoke. "So, a few minutes ago, I told you that you have a true gift." He began. "Do you know what that gift is?" I shook my head. Unless that gift is sarcasm and attitude, then yes I am fully aware of my true gift.

The guys looked at each other, smirking at one another, leaving me confused to what that means. "You have a gift for strength, protecting, and revenge. Well, gifts." Justin stated, smiling at me. I don't know if I should be proud of my gifts. I wasn't even aware of it until now.

"Okay, and why do my so called 'gifts' concern you?" I put air quotes around 'gifts' because I don't think I have any of those qualities at all. "Well, we-"

"Look, guys." I interrupted Scooter. "I don't have any of those characteristics at all. I'm weaker than a chicken. I can barely protect anyone, let alone myself. Revenge is just cruel and a waste of time." Scooter sighed and stood up to walk around the couch and stand behind it. He gripped the couch, straightening his arms so he could directly look at me.

"You are really oblivious, you know that?" I raised my eyebrow at him, crossing my arms. "Excuse me?" He shrugged, hitting the couch.

"You are not weak at all. You are the strongest person I know. Your past was really traumatic, but you got through it. You can barely protect anyone, let alone yourself? What about the day that your little sister ran over to Justin and you threatened him? Yeah, you didn't protect anyone alright." I rolled my eyes, and let him continue. "We all know that revenge is cruel and a waste of time. I couldn't agree more, but that's just too bad. I know you've already gotten revenge on the people from your past. Ariana, you don't understand. What you did today proves just how capable you are. You have potential, Ariana. You just don't understand."
