Ariana's pov

"So what was your plan for today?" I asked, "Uh, I was actually just planning on taking you around London and begging you to forgive me, I didn't actually expect you to forgive me so easily" Calum said, "How about we just go to a cinema or something?" I asked, "Yeah, sure" he said as we both walked towards the closest cinema, going in to see whatever was starting or had just started.

"So you two are together again? None of us can keep up with you guys and whether you're together or not" Ashton said, I chuckled as we all took our seats in Nandos, we were five minutes early, and mark had arrived at the same time as us.

"I knew you would get back together" Luke said, "I had hoped you would get back together" Mark said, "Well we are back together so you can all stop hoping at whatever" I said laughing, "Everyone, this is Philip, our record company manager, his wife Amanda and their daughter Chelsea" Mark introduced the three people stood at the side of the table, "This is Ashton, Michael, Luke, Calum and that's Ariana" mark said, introducing us all.

"So I heard you're thinking of doing a duet?" Philip asked, "Yeah, Mark suggested it and we all agreed because we're all good friends and thought it would be a good idea" Ashton said, "And how close are you all with mark?" Philip asked, "Us boys are kind of close with him, he is with us a lot of the time but when we're on tour we have our tour manager, and we don't really keep in much contact with mark then, but when we're home in Australia we work in the studio with him quite a bit" Michael said, "And what about you Ariana?" Philip asked, "Mark and I are really close, he comes on tour with me and we work together in the studio, so he is always with me basically" I said.

"Doesn't that seem a little unfair on the boys? And whatever other acts" Philip said, "Not really because every act has their own manager, Mark is my manager, but he also manages 5sos, but only when they're in Australia, or if mark has gigs to book for them, on tour the boys have a manager who they're probably closer to" I said, "What is mark like as a person Ariana? Since you seem closest with him?" Philip asked, I was so confused with all the questions about mark, and in the side of my eye I could see Chelsea flirting with Calum, I kept my cool though.

"Well he's really caring and considerate, he doesn't work you too hard, yet he works you enough to get whatever his plan was done, he listens to everything you have to say, and he lets you contribute to what you want to do with regards to tours, music, writing and such, he's not only my manager but he's a really good friend, he's the one I go to with all my problems and I know he's always going to be there for me when I need him, he gives great advice, yet he's ways up for a laugh. I could call him and 4 in the morning and he would be there for me, he's just an overall great guy, and I'm so glad he's my manager" I said, "Awh thanks Ariana" Mark said, "No bother Marcus" I said smiling.

"Ariana have you ever been romantically involved with Mark?" Philip asked, "What? No of course not" I said, "Are you sure?" he asked, "Im positive" I stated, "Okay, do any of you know the real reason we're all here?" Philip asked, we all shook our heads, Chelsea was still flirting with Calum, and he wasn't doing anything to stop it, he was flirting back, I glared at them but none of them saw and continued flirting with each other.

"We're here because I offered Mark a promotion, to become my assistant manager of the whole record label" Philip said, "That's amazing Mark!" I said, "Well done mark" Ashton said, "That's great" Michael said, "Fantastic" Luke said, Calum was too busy with Chelsea to even notice what was going on, "You guys don't understand though, if I take his promotion then I don't get to be your manager anymore" Mark said.

My heart stopped, mark couldn't leave me.

I needed him.

Not only as a manager, but as a friend.

He was the one I went to with all my problems.

He couldn't just leave.
