*A|N: so I decided for some chapters I'll add a quote from a song....so yeah...this is one of those chapters btw*

"Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising. There's nothin' wrong with who you are."
-Who You Are
Jessie J

ARIANA'S POV

I wake to the sound of something dropping onto the ground. I jolt up to see Jai trying to sneak into the room...

"Sorry to wake you, you know how clumsy I am...." He smiles apologetically.

I roll my eyes. "I hope your here to pack up your shit."

His smile fades. "I didn't think you were serious. Please Ari, I'm sorry."

"Were you thinking of me while you were fucking her? No. So don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not. I know you're only sorry you got caught..."

"So what does all this mean? Is it a break? Or are we just done?"

"I bet you would love those options.... I mean then there's no guilt for going to fuck that skank. I don't know what this is, but I need a man who can step up, and be there for me. Right now, that doesn't look like it's you, Jai."

"So who's that man? Harry? 'Cause he's not gonna give up his girlfriend for you. He's never gonna want you. I mean, you've never even given head before, and I'm the only guy whose fucked you. Get real. This whole 'i don't give a shit' facade is wearing thin, and you're trying to find some other way to hide the fact that your an insecure, lonely, bitch!" He growls.

I've never felt so betrayed in my entire life. I loved him, I told him everything, and for him to just use it against me is low. Even for Jai. I try to fight the tears as they threaten to break free. Just as a tear slips out, there's a knock on the bedroom door.

"Ariana? Are you okay? Open the door." Harry speaks.

"She's fine, now mind your own damn business. Don't you have a few whores to fuck somewhere?" Jai grimaces.

"Seems like I should be asking you that question, since I have a girlfriend. Oh wait, you do too--for now--only that didn't stop you. Ari, please open the door." Harry fires back, his voice softening as he says my name.

I stand up to open the door, but Jai stops me. "That asshole is not coming in here."

"I'd rather have that 'asshole' in here then you, douchebag!" I spit at him, before smirking as he groans in pain when my knee comes in contact with his balls. The dick deserves it. I open the door, and Harry storms in fuming.

"Where's the fuckboy?" He growls only to find Jai on the ground holding his lower region. After throwing Jai, and his shit outside, Harry quickly turns to me engulfing me in a hug, as I sob into his shirt. I wish I wasn't wasting these tears on him, but I can't stop them from falling.

"Don't listen to him, Ari. He's just trying to put you down to make it seem like you're lucky to have him, and making you, and himself think he's above you is complete bullshit. You're beautiful." Harry comforts me.

"I don't want to believe it, but everything he says is true. No guy is ever gonna want me, unless it's to take advantage of me. I'm worthless." I mope.

"Ari?"

"Yeah?"

"Do me a favor...."

"What?"

"Shut the fuck up. You're amazing. Don't let anyone tell you differently. Okay?"

"Okay." I hear him mumble something else, I'm not sure, but it sounded like "I want you." But that can't be right....
