Fourty-nine

•Ari•
After a long plane ride, I was finally home and so relieved to be there. This week had flown by and was unbelievably amazing but I really missed it here.

I yawn before making my way out find my driver waiting for me. I smile before putting my bags in the back and then getting in.

I thanked my driver before making my way up to our apartment. I unlock the door as quick and quietly as I could. It was past ten and I knew Audrey and Brandon would sleeping. I didn't want them to wake up just because I couldn't be quiet, so I was more careful when walking to my room.

To my surprise, my room is as clean as ever but I notice a lump on my floor with blankets scattered around it. I kick the lump with my boot, only to hear groans come from under it. I scrunch my eyebrows before yanking the covers off to reveal a sleeping Greyson. My eyes had widened. What the hell is he doing here?

"Get up!" I yell

He flinched awake, rubbing his eyes an adorable way as he always does but I ignore it.

"Ariana!" He says jumping up

"Why are you here" I say holding myself

He frowns at my tone but doesn't say anything as I stand there wanting answers of why he's here and sleeping in my floor.

"Are you gonna answer my question or what?" I ask harshly

"I needed to talk to you" he flinched out

"Why? Thought you were 'busy'" I quote starting to unpack my suitcase

I hear him sigh before coming towards the other side of my bed, trying to catch my attention.

"Ariana, I'm sorry okay? I swear it wasn't what you thought!" He says

"Really? So, I fly to Michigan to surprise you, even though you had an attitude, a WHOLE attitude when I said I couldn't come, then when I text you to actually let you know hat I was there, someone texts me off of YOUR phone saying 'he's busy' and it's not what I thought? There were pictures too Greyson so obviously you're guilty of something. So don't come in here, saying bullshit when obviously you were too busy to talk to your girlfriend when she was trying to give you a nice surprise. Yep, totally a big misunderstanding" I say sarcastically

"Just listen to me, would you? Nothing happened after that. My friends convinced me to go out to the party and try and make you feel bad for bailing on me. Baby, I swear I would never cheat or intentionally do anything to hurt you" he frowns

"Isn't that what you did though?" I question

He says nothing and keeps the frown on his face as I keep unpacking everything I had in the suitcase.

"And why the hell would you do what they say? You should know better than that Greyson! You knew it would hurt me but you did it anyways!" I yell

"I made mistake okay? We all make mistakes! I can't take it back but I can at least try to make it right. Im sorry Ariana. I truly am. I just missed you so much and when I thought you bailed.. I couldn't deal with it. You're everything to me and I never want to lose you. I love you too much" he sobs

My face softens a bit as he drops to his knees, holding onto my waist. My arms wrap around his head, trying to comfort him in any possible way I can.

"Greyson, I love you too but if you felt that way, you should have talked to me about it. I would have come up with a solution but instead, you've made everything messy. That's not okay. We are supposed to communicate with each other, not do something like this" I lecture him

"I know, baby. I know and I'm sorry for everything that's happened. I'm truly sorry and I can't express how sorry I am" he says looking up at me

I sigh at how late it is before unwrapping his hands from around me. He looks at me curiously, still kneeling.

"It's late. I'm gonna get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow morning" I tell him throwing his pillow and blankets at him

"Where do I sleep?" He asks confused

"The couch" I say walking into the bathroom slamming the door behind me

I lock it, sliding down the door thinking in what I should do. I was more confused now than ever.
