Our Fate Under Stars

Chapter Twelve

Ariana's P.O.V:

I slowly wake up shaken up. Unable to open my eyes because of the sunlight, shining bright through the living room windows. I'm comfortable. All I remember was that I was balling my eyes out to Hayden-

We fell asleep on the couch. Again. When I try to pry open my eyes and fail, I hear whispers. A guy, and a girl? Wait no, two guys and two girls? I think.

"Open your eyes you lazy idiots." Hayden and I get startled by a very familiar feminine voice. "Ouch Mila what the hell?" I hit my hand with Hayden's shoulder. Wait... Camila?

I open my eyes wide as I acknowledge my 3 best friends and my brother staring at us like they just saw Casper fly in in a bathrobe.

"Sorry Ari, I came home late last night and I saw you two on the couch, and well y'all were asleep when I woke up and I had no idea what to do." Hunter speaks while scratching the back of his head.

He gets that old habit from dad...

"I'm gonna go home and wash up anyway, I'll see you guys." Hayden gets up, lets go of me, as he walks past our friends and his warmth leaves with him. For a few seconds disappointment hits me.

It felt right. Hayden felt right.

"Honey, you stink and you look horrible." Justin comments looking at my devastating state. "Come on let's get you cleaned up." Camila helps me up and leads me to my room, while Skylar forces Justin to help her out with making breakfast.
Déjà vu much?

In my bedroom, Camila buries her face in my closet, her naturally wavy fawn hair was tied into a high ponytail that was the length of her neck.

"So.. you and Hayden.. Did something happen last night?" I cringe at her question. What if something did happen? I'm with Dylan, nothing happened but what if it did?! I mean we were cuddling-ish.

"Mila, nothing happened. I just balled my eyes out and fell asleep." I answer her question while I stand in the mirror to take my nasty makeup off. "Nothing. Else." I said slowly as to close the subject and move onto something else.

"Anywayy.. Camila says suspiciously. Cameron called me last night to tell me him and Summer are flying over on Tuesday." So the rumors are true? Summer and Cameron are dating? Wait.. didn't Hunter have a thing for Summer?

I keep my mouth shut but I'm gonna need to talk to him, It's been a while since he said anything about himself and I feel horrible..

I've been so caught up in my own drama, I completely forgot to ask about the most important person in my life.

I get dressed up after Camila had picked me black and white checkered pants with a black crop top and a white denim jacket. She straightened my hair and tied it into a high ponytail as well as she did my makeup, little pick blush and gloss did the trick.

I have no idea where they're taking me but I need to have a word with Hunter beforehand.

"Hey lil' sis, you look great." My brother turned to face me and eyes my outfit up and down. "Thanks - I give him a sheepish smile - Hunter.. How have you been?"

He puts whatever he was holding down on the kitchen counter and walks towards me. I look up at my older brother and feel his hands wrap around me.

"I've been okay Ari, as long as you're healthy and breathing I'll always be okay." He places a gentle kiss on top of my head. "I love you" I look up, tears forming in my eyes.

"There there A, He wipes the tear that was almost gonna roll down my face, You don't want to ruin your makeup. Now have fun, I'll be home waiting for you. Get started and over and done with a couple of essays before Halloween.
