A New Beginning (Adopted by Ariana Grande and Jai Brooks)

• Amelia •

I was sitting in the waiting room fiddling with my thumbs for an amount of time that felt like forever. finally, the nurse named Ashely came to get me.

"Amelia, come on back." she said.

I got up and followed her back to the room. I opened the door and walked in. I saw Ariana had a sad look on her face. do I even wanna know?

I take a seat next to her and she takes my hand. there's a moment of silence and I can feel the tenseness of the room.

"Amelia?" Ariana asks.

"what." I say.

"Amelia, you have to go to a treatment center for a month." she says, her eyes filled with tears.

my head shoots up.

"WHERE?!" I exclaim.

"a treatment center." dr jones says.

"Ari you told me this doctor was nice!" I yell causing a few tears to slide down Ariana's cheek.

I immediately felt bad but ignored it.

I looked at dr jones.

"why?! why are you doing this to me?!" I question her, my voice full of anger.

"Amelia, this is what's best for you and for your family." she says.

"you're wrong!" I yell.

"no Amelia. I'm right. you'll be thankful in the end." she says.

"no! you're wrong! you don't understand! you'll never understand!" I yell at her.

I'm still holding Ariana's hand. I don't wanna let go. I never wanna let go.

"I'm sorry Amelia, but you don't have a choice. you need to recover. you need to get better. and your case is too severe to let Ariana and Jai take care of. I'm sorry." dr jones says.

"oh yeah I'm sure you're real sorry! whatever. just look at what you're doing to Ariana by taking me away from her!" I yell.

I look at Ariana who is crying.

"I'll be okay Amelia. I just want you better." she says and pulls me in for a hug.

"Ariana I need you to take her to the Los Angeles Eating Disorder Center tomorrow." dr jones says.

all of the sudden Ariana goes very pale. she starts to shake.

"no. no I can't do that I'm sorry." Ariana says.

"but Ariana -" dr jones starts but Ariana cuts her off.

"I said no!" she yells, letting go of my hand and running out of the room.

• Ariana •

I run out of the room crying. I'm not letting them take Amelia there. No. Not after that hell of a dream. What if it comes true? I can't lose her. No.

I run to the front doors of the building and take a seat on the bench that's there.

I pull out my phone and call Jai.

It rings twice.

"Hello?"

"Jai I need you to come up here." I say wiping away tears, only for more to fall.

"What's wrong baby?" He asks, sadness filling his voice

"Jai they wanna take Amelia to the treatment center that was in my dream. Please come up here I need you. I'm freaking out. They can't take her. They can't. Please Jai." I beg.

"I'm on my way baby."

"Okay i love you."

"I love you too." He says and hangs up the phone.

I sit on the bench waiting for him as I cry softly. They're not taking her. No.

About 7 minutes later, Jai walks in. He sits next to me and puts his arms around me while I cry into his shoulder.

"Jai they can't take her there. something bad will happen." I cry into his shoulder.

"Baby she has to go. She has to get better." He tells me, getting choked up on tears.

"But why can't we do it? Why?" I ask, lifting my head.

He wipes away my tears.

"We're not professionals." He tells me.

"This isn't fair. We could do it I know we could." I tell him.

"I believe we could too. But it's not up to us." He tells me, wiping a tear away from his eye.

He hugs me tight.

"It's gonna be okay love. I promise you." He assures me.

I just cry. A few minutes later he lets me go.

"You need to go back Ari. I'll wait here." He says.

I nod my head sadly, wiping the rest of my tears away.

I get up and head back to the room.

I knock on the door and Dr Jones opens it.

I walk in and Amelia grabs me and hugs me tight.

She looks at me, her eyes begging me to save her.

I kiss the top of her head and then take a deep breath.

I turn to Dr. Jones.

"Tomorrow. We'll be there." I say, my hands shaking.

"Good. I'll call and let them know. This will be good Amelia. You'll thank Ariana in the end, trust me." Dr. Jones tells Amelia.

"Yeah. Okay." Amelia says sarcastically.

Dr. Jones writes down the address and gives it to me. Then we leave.

I hold onto Amelia's hand. I can tell she's pissed at me for not saving her.

"Amelia it's for the best." I say, walking to the front doors where Jai awaits.

She ignores me.

"Amelia." I say.

"Yes. Okay. For the best. I know Ariana. I know." She says sounding upset.

"I did this for you. I don't want you to go Amelia. I just want you better. I want you happy." I tell her.

She looks at me and stops walking.

She starts to cry.

"What's wrong?" I ask her, wrapping my arms around her.

She hugs me back tighter.

"I'm being a little shit. You want me to get better. You want me happy. I'm taking you for granted. I'm sorry. I'm not used to people caring." She says.

A few tears fall down my cheek. I let her go and wipe them away.

"I know baby. I know. I'm not mad. And I'll always care. I love you okay." I say.

She nods her head weakly.

"I love you too." She whispers.

I grab her hand again and we walk to the front where Jai is.

Amelia runs into his arms and he hugs her back.

"Who would you like to go home with?" I ask her.

"Can I go with Jai?" She asks.

"Of course baby. I'll see you guys at home." I say, giving Jai a kiss.

We walk out the front and go separate ways.
