Do You Promise?

Chapter Seven

*Ariana's P.O.V.*

Here I was, being such a baby, and crying over what happened. I just can't believe it. Justin's never yelled at me like that. He knows I get hurt when guys do that. It's just humiliating, y'know?

Austin walked into my bedroom on the tour bus.

"Hey, cheer up, Arizzle!" He exclaimed. I chuckled at the new nickname he gave me, but then I smiled sadly at him. I patted the spot next to me, motioning for him to come sit next to me.

He came and sat down. I scooted closer to him and straddled his waist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He put his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead. I hugged him tightly and stayed like that for a while.

"I love you, Austin." I said.

"I love you too, Ar." He replied.

And in that moment, I took my chance. I leaned in and so did he. I closed my eyes, ready for this. Our lips were about to touch. There were so many butterflies in my stomach. But, of course, good moments never last.

The door opened, roughly. And Justin stood there, looking sad.

"Get out, Justin." I said, monotone.

"No." He stated, lowly.

"Austin, get out." He ordered.

I looked at Austin, "Stay with me, Austin." I insisted.

"Austin, I said, get out!" Justin yelled.

I got scared, held onto Austin tighter, and whimpered.

Austin kissed my cheek. And pried my arms and legs off of him. I looked at him sadly. He got up and let go of me. But, I wasn't ready to face Justin alone. So I held Austin's hand and walked out with him.

Justin grabbed me as I walked past him. "You, stay here. I need to talk to you." He said, sternly.

"No, if you need to talk to me, you can talk while Austin is here." I replied, mimicking what he used to say when he was with Selena.

"Ariana, I'm serious." He rolled his eyes.

"So am I, Justin." I stood my ground.

"Fine." He said.

"I don't even wanna talk to you." I said.

"Just talk to him, Ari." Austin whispered, let go of my hand and walked out.

I pouted as I watched him close the door. Then, I turned my gaze back to Justin, rolling my eyes.

"What do you want, Justin?" I asked, annoyed.

"To talk to you." He said.

"Well, what're you waiting for?" I asked rhetorically.

"What's wrong with you, Ariana? You can't just blow up like that at people." Justin said.

"Justin, you were there the whole, damn time! Don't go acting like I started it." I said, pissed.

"She was just being nice." He defended her.

"No, she was just being fake. There you go again, Justin. She's blinded you, again. I knew it was a bad idea for me to come on tour with you." I defended myself.

"Then, why are you here?" He asked, quickly.

"Because I'm not a selfish bitch. I came here to support my best friend and that's it. I didn't come here to fight with an arrogant ass." I replied.

"Just stop, Ari." He sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"Justin, you're gonna have to make a choice. Me or Selena? Choose wisely." I challenged him.

"Uhh... Um.. I can't do that." He stuttered.

"I'm just gonna say something. Do you wanna choose your best friend who has been with you through it all? Or do you wanna choose the girl that's cheated on you, used you, faked your whole relationship and lied to you? Once again, choose wisely." I walked out after saying those words, proud of myself.

"You look happy.. What happened? Did you guys make up?" Austin smiled. He patted his lap and I sat on it.

"Nope. I said something I was proud of." I smirked.

"You're so cute." He complemented.

"And you're a hottie." I grinned. I wrapped my arms around his waist, gave him a kiss on his cheek and laid my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

He snaked his arms around my waist and kissed the top of my head, making me smile.

"Get some sleep, Ari. I love you, Sweets." He said

"I love you too, Austin." I mumbled, already half-asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up the next morning and realized I was in my bedroom on the tour bus. I felt something or should I say, someone, move under my arm. Austin was lying next to me as we were cuddling.

I smiled to myself. "What'cha smilin' at, beautiful?" He asked.

"Nothing." I responded.

"Yeah, whatever." He chuckled.

"Anyways, good morning, Mahone." I smiled at him.

"Good morning, Smith." His smile was adorable. It showed his braces, making me laugh.

"Now, what're you laughing at?" He groaned, playfully.

"Just at how cute you are." I replied, giggling.

"I'm not cute! I'm... Handsome." He smirked.

"Yeah, you're that too." I said, lost in his eyes.

He kissed my forehead and got up. I got up too and made my bed. Then I went to my suitcase and grabbed some clothes. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. I undressed and hopped in, taking my shower.

After I finished, I got dressed and did my morning routine, which included:

•Brushing My Teeth

•Washing My Face

•Blow-Drying My Hair

•Straightening My Hair

•Doing My Make-up

It was just my routine to freshen up. When I was done, I walked out of my room. I found Austin on the couch, playing with his phone.

"Wow, you're quick," He said, as he looked up. "And you look gorgeous." He smiled.

I blushed, "Stop it." I looked away.

"You're adorable." He chuckled. I groaned as he laughed.
