The Make Up [Lauren Jauregui/G!P You]

Chapter 5~~ The Fresh Start Stage

I was gonna continue but my phone started to ring. I looked at it to see it was Ariana herself calling me. I answer it and put the phone to my ear. "Hello?" I say and she giggles into the phone. "You gonna come in or.." She says and I feel my face heat up as I chuckle. "My bad, I was writing some lyrics that came to my head." I say and I hear a gasp and shuffling on the other end. "Hurry and come in. Oh! And bring your lyric book with you too!" She says and then hangs up. I sigh and chuckle at the girl, pocketing my pencil before grabbing my notebook and turning off my car, getting out. This girl will be the death of me.

Y/N's POV:

I step inside Ariana's house and immediately get jumped on, making my back hit the door and it shuts as I lean against it. "Wow.. A little warning before will ya Ari?" I ask and she giggles into my neck, pulling away from me with an eye roll. "Whatever Y/L/N." She says, getting off me as I fix my clothes and smile at her. "Don't get me wrong, it's great to see you, but why are you here exactly? What's with the surprise visit?" She asks and I smile even brighter, grabbing her hand and leading her to her living room. I sit us down and look her in the eyes, putting my notebook behind me.

"Well, I decided to go a different direction with my career." I say and her eyes widen as her jaw drops, making me chuckle a bit. "Are you serious?! You're gonna be a singer!" She screams, jumping out of her seat and looking down at me with a surprised and happy face. All I do is smile wide and nod, making her squeal and start jumping around. I awe and smile at her before grabbing her shoulders and trying to calm her down. "Alright Ari, relax, we still have something to talk about." I say and she finally stops jumping around, looking in my eyes with excitement. "Okay. Sorry." She says as I lead us back to the couch. "Don't be sorry. That was honestly really cute." I say and she blushes, hiding it with her hair as she looks down. I chuckle at her failed attempt to hide it and I sit us down on the couch. 

"Listen. As you know, I need to be in an industry in order to really start this new career of mine. Now, the question is, the offer you said Scott gave me a couple months back, is that offer still on?" I ask and she looks up, staring in my eyes with her own, except hers were wide. "Wait, you're saying you're not gonna sign with Simon and the same label the girls are in?" She says and I give her a small, sad smile. "That's correct. I want to sign with Republic Records and Scott, not SYCO and Simon. Sadly, Lauren and I broke up like 15 minutes ago." I say and she gasps, looking at me with shock. "Are you serious?" She says and I nod, making her immediately wrap me up in a tight hug.

"I'm sorry Y/NN. She doesn't deserve you babe, you're too good for her anyways." She says and I nod, giving her a smile. "Thank you Ari, I really appreciate it." I say and she nods with a bright, big, and beautiful smile. "Of course Y/NN, anything for you." She says with a playful wink and gives my cheek and friendly peck. "So, what were you writing in that car of yours?" She asks and I smile, reaching behind me and grabbing my notebook. I open it to the pages and let her read it. Once she's finished, she smiles wide at me and claps playfully. "Amazing. You really are a lyrical genius." She says and I feel my heart swell at her words. "Thanks darling. You are too though!" I say and she gives me a genuine smile, making me absolutely melt.

So, we get to work and end up finishing both songs that I started. We named the first one 'Stitches' and the second one 'Aftertaste'. I ended up calling for pizza and it arrived about 10 minutes after, which I was thankful for since I was hungry as hell. We ate and then got back to work, so we ended up making another song called 'If We Have Each Other' and we made a song for Ari called 'Needy'. She said she doesn't think she'll use it for her upcoming album because she wants it to be special, so for her most special album, she'll put that song on there. After that, we call it a night but it was only 9, so Ariana left to call Scott about the deal he gave me around two months ago. As Ariana leaves, my phone goes off.

I check to see who it was and it ended up being Y/BF. I was a little nervous to tell her about the news of me getting a new manager, but she's my bestfriend and she doesn't exactly want to be a manager anymore, she wants to be a model. And let me tell you, she definitely has the looks to do it. I bring the phone up to me and take a deep breath, answering the call and putting the phone up to my ear.

[Y/N-Italics]

[Y/BF-Bold]

Y/BF! What's up?

I've got news!

Care to share?

Well, after a few phone calls, we've come to the agreement that you can back out of your contract and become a singer. Simon said he could set up and date and place so you could sign a contract as a singer if you want, he just needs to know preferences on when is the best time for you.

I take a deep breath, realizing it's time to tell her the big news myself.

Well, you see, about that...

Oh no, who died?

No one died ya ding. But, I don't want to sign with Simon or SYCO.

Wait. Are you serious? Really?

Very serious. I'm gonna, hopefully, be signing with Scott Braun and Republic Records.

There's silence on the other side before I hear a squeal.

Yay! I'm so happy for you!

Thanks darling! But I know you're happy for yourself too. You can finally have your chance as a model!

Bitch you right. But I'm still so very happy for you. I hope everything turns out right and I'll be by your side through thick and thin. 

Thanks babe. I appreciate you and all you've done for me over the years.

It's what I'm here for Y/NN.

I guess so. But, there's one more thing I've got to tell you.

What?

Lauren and I broke up.

I hear her gasp as there's silence on the other side of the phone again.

Are you serious?

Yeah, we broke up earlier in the day today.

I'm sorry Y/NN, are you okay?

Yeah I'm fine. I'm with Ariana right now and I'm just getting myself together you know? 

Of course. You're strong Y/N, you can get through anything. Just think of this as a fresh start okay? I've got to go but I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?

Alright Y/BF. Talk to you soon.

Talk to you soon.

Yeah, a fresh start.

A/N: This wasn't very good but I still hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter will be far more interesting and long, trust me with that one. Once again, I hope you enjoyed and Until Next Time-- Love, Aaliyah.
