Arianna's POV

I dialled Jessica's number and hit call. 

Ring.

Ring.

"ARIANNA!" she answered, well, screamed. I had to put my phone far away from my ears, or else I'll be deaf. I heard a few noises in the background.

"A?" a girl voice said. I smiled. Stephanie.

"Pass it to me! My turn!" another girl voice said. Lizzie. I smiled wider. Nico looked at me, grinning. I put it on speaker.

"Shut up, you idiots. She can't even answer cus you guys won't quiet down!" a guy voice said. Nate.

"Thank you, Natty." I said, grinning as he groaned.

"Is this the thanks I get? I told you to stop calling me that." he said. "But I miss you. A. When are you gonna get here?"

"Tomorrow. Listen, can you put it in speaker?" I asked.

"Sure. Wait up." There was a pause. "There, you're on speaker now."

"Thanks. Hi, babes!" I said.

The girls screamed which made me flinch and get the phone away from me. 

"Jesus Christ! Shush!" Nate demanded.

"Sorry. We miss you, A!" they said.

"I miss you too, girls. I have a favor to ask of you guys. Can you do this for me?" I asked cautiously.

"Sure!" Stephanie said.

"Anything, babe!" Jess said.

"Anything for you, A!" Lizzie added.

"Depends." Nate said. I rolled my eyes.

"Nate! Please! I'm your favortie girl in the world! Plus, you owe me!" I said.

I heard him sigh. "Fine."

I stood up from the sofa and did a happy dance, then sat back down. "Well, will you guys model with me?"

"Sure!" Jess replied. She was the first one.

"Model? Fine by me." Stephanie said.

"What for? I'll consider it." Lizzie said. Of course she would consider. Such a brainiac.

"Hell no! NO! N! O! NO!" Nate screamed.

I pouted. "Nate! You said you'd do me a favor! And Lizzie, you said you would too!" 

"No! I'm not modelling, A! I would've done something else, but hell no! Wait, why are we modelling? And who for?" he asked.

"My boyfriend's mom is a fashion designer. She's gonna go there for her summer collection, so yeah." I explained.

"Aunt Claire is a fashion designer?" Nate asked.

Shit. Explaining time. "Uhmm. No. Me and Aaron broke up." I said quietly.

The other line was silent. I looked at Nico. He opened his arms and I let him hug me. We cuddled in the sofa while I waited for them to answer.

"WHAT?!" the girls screeched.

I flinched. I heard some shuffling in the background and some buttons being pushed. "Hey! Come back! We wanna talk to her!" I heard Jessica say.

"What the hell? How did it happen? Did he hurt you?" Nate asked, his voice dangerous and low. 

I sighed. "I'll tell you everything when I'm there. Promise." 

He sighed. "Fine. You promised. Now, boyfriend?" he asked. I heard a door shut.
