Ariana's pov

"Guys, this is Ariana, she hates being called Ari so don't call her that, and Ariana this is Ashton, Luke, Calum and Michael, i'll be back in about ten minutes which is when we will go through security" mark said before leaving us.

I sat on a seat and I could feel it become more awkward by the second.

"You look great Ariana" Ashton said, breaking the silence, "Uh, okay" I said, I didn't know how to reply, I wasn't going to say thank you to people I hate, and people who made my life miserable since I was 14.

"Yeah you're looking hot" Michael stated, "That's great to hear" I mumbled, "Wish I could say the same about you" I added, gaining a bit more confidence, I had to stand my ground, I couldn't let them push me around.

"Oh, and you're feisty now, if you were this hot and feisty a couple of years ago maybe Calum wouldn't have ditched you and maybe we would have let you join us" Michael said, "I wouldn't want to join you if my life depended on it" I stated, "Well, Ariana, you better get used to us, we're sharing a tour bus, we'll practically be living together" Luke said, "You are all nothing but dicks" I said.

I noticed Calum had stayed quiet throughout the full encounter.

He was never quiet.

"So Ariana, what was it like when your best friend ditched you? What was it like having no friends what so ever? What was it like knowing you weren't good enough for anyone, not even the person you had known forever? Tell us Ariana, what was it like?" Michael said, tormenting me, I wouldn't let him hurt me anymore, "Guys that's enough, she's had enough" Calum said, finally speaking up, his voice was weak, as if he was scared to say that.

Why was he sticking up for me?

"So you finally decide to speak up and it's to defend her?" Ashton said, "I don't need you to defend me" I stated, we all sat in silence until we saw mark coming into sight, "If mark asks, we're all getting along very well" Ashton said, "As if that would happen" I said, "If you don't pretend to fucking get along with us in front of mark and our fans then this tour will end up cancelled, do you want that? Do you want to let down your fucking fans?" Ashton said quietly, I sighed, "Whatever" I said.

"So are we all getting along?" mark asked, I put on the most fake smile I possibly could and nodded, along with the others, "I knew this was the perfect idea since you're all the same age and all went to the same school" mark said, "Yeah, we're all getting along amazingly" I said, "Yeah, it's as if we're best friends already" Ashton said, it was as if we were having a competition to see who could convince mark we were getting along better.

"Okay, we're going through security now, come on" mark said as we all grabbed our bags for the plane and followed him.

We had to place our shoes, bags, any jumpers, and everything on the tray, leaving us just in a pair of trousers and a top, or for me my baggy jumper.

I walked through the big X-ray thing and I beeped, I froze, why did it beep?

I saw the boys staring at me as I was patted down, they looked at my neck and I realised I had a necklace on, "Shit, my necklace" I said as I took it off, that was one of the only times I had ever took it off since the accident two years ago.

I walked back through the X-ray and it didn't beep and I was allowed to proceed with my journey, I could feel Calum's eyes burn into the side of my head, I know he knew who's necklace it was, and I knew he didn't know why I had it, he wasn't going to know, either.

"It's seats of three on the plane so two of you sit with me and two of you sit with Ariana, chose who is going with who" mark said, I sighed, great, 22 and a half hours with two of the boys I hate and who hate me.

"Who's coming with me?" mark asked, "Me and Luke" Ashton said quickly, I sighed, 22 and a half hours with Michael and Calum.

This is for your fans.

I had to keep repeating that in my head so I wouldn't end up cancelling and just going home while I still could.

"Our flight is due to leave in a half hour, so you can all just do whatever but be here in twenty five minutes, no later, Ariana that's aimed at you since you're always late" mark said, "Awh is Ariana always late? She was always late to school, weren't you?" Ashton cooed as he pinched my cheek, I swatted his hand away, "Not always" I stated as mark walked away and I sat on an uncomfortable chair.

It was now around half past seven, our flight left at four minutes past eight, I pulled my phone out and I had a text from tori.

From toriii: have fun and don't miss me too much ;)

To toriii: I have to fucking tour with Calum Ashton Michael and Luke :/ they're already pissing me off

From toriii: IT'S FOR YOUR FANS ARIANA! JUST REMEMBER THAT! love you have fun

To toriii: I know, love you too

"Texting your boyfriend?" Michael asked, "Oh wait, you don't have one" he added, "Actually I'm texting my friend, use your brain" I said, "Oh wait, you don't have one" I mocked, "Oh you actually found a friend? Is it that stupid big sister of yours? She's a slut, isn't she? I heard she fucked someone when she was 15, and the guy had a girlfriend" he said.

I could feel the tears in my eyes, "Don't talk about her like that!" I said, raising my voice slightly, "Don't ever speak of her like that again" I said, I blinked back the tears and clutched the necklace around my neck, "You don't know anything" I said, "Yeah I do Ariana, I know that you're still a bitch who thinks she's better than everyone else just because she's smart, I know you're still that loser little girl, but just because you have fans now you think a bit of makeup and nice clothes can hide your past" Michael said, "Michael that's enough, leave her alone" Calum said.

"I hate you, all of you" I said as I sat quietly, thinking of my older sister and how much I missed her.
