My demons{Jariana/Justin and ariana}

Apologies and Forgiveness

Ariana~

We walk home in silence,but this time not a comfortable one.There was a lot of tension between us.Obviously questions were running through his head,and of course I'm going to have to answer them.

I kept looking over my shoulder,afraid that Austin was following us.

Suddenly,Justin stops walking.

"What was that,ari?"He asks curiously but calmly.

"I-I don't know."I stutter.

"Don't bullshit me Ari,whoever that guy was just slapped you,that is not ok."

I look down,fiddling with my fingers,"He's name is Austin..He is my ex-boyfriend."I say quietly,looking everywhere but at him.

"Why did he-"

"You think I fucking know why he slapped me? He slapped me every single day when we were dating,and if I knew I sure as hell would tell you.But I don't know,ok.And frankly,it's none of your business.You know what?I knew this was a bad idea,we shouldn't be friends.I've got to much going on,and you'll just get hurt....I'll just get hurt,and I don't know how much more hurt I can take.."What can I say?He hit a soft spot.

He looks at me in disbelief,eyes wide.

"I don't understand."he mutters,searching my eyes for an explanation.

I just walk away,no more words said.I left him standing there in shock.Let's just hope he doesn't follow.

***

And he didnt follow,thank god.I ran home that night.I ran upstairs,into my room,and cut the shit out of my arms untill they were numb.And then I cried myself to sleep,but its ok,nothing unusual for me.

It's a week later,Henry is home,and I havent spoken to Justin since.I've seen him going for walks,going outside to get the mail in the morning.He'd always look at my house with a look of,well,I don't really know how to explain the look.It's like he is contemplating on whether or not to come to my house,but he always walks back to his house.

It was currently 4:30pm,and I was sitting in my room writing a song.

You give me that kinda something,I want it everyday need it-ugh no.

You give me that kinda,something,want it all the time,want it all day.Ugh no.

You give me that kinda,something,want it all the time need it every day.

BINGO

Then a light knock on my door.

"come in."I call.

The door opens and Henry pokes his head in,'Hey Ariana."He smiles warmly.

"Hey."I say,curious as to what this conversation was good for apart from wasting my precious time alone to write this song.

"I just wanted to let you know that I've invited our new neighbours over for dinner tonight,they'll be here in around half an hour."He says.

"WHAT?!"I almost choke.

"Is there something wrong?"

I groan."I dont like one of them."I murmer.

"Well,Ariana,I've raised you to be a nice young girl,please don't be rude."

I sigh but nod my head,inwardly throwing myself down a flight of stairs.

"They'll be here soon,you might wanna get ready."He says before shutting the door.
