ARIANA'S P.O.V.

(still two years ago)

it's been a few days after i finished the One Love Manchester concert, and we got a good amount of money for the affected families. i gave them all of the money as a "sorry" for the unexpected tragedy.

i'm not okay. i'm breaking down every hour and the only thing i want to be right now is to be alone. i haven't seen Daniel in a few days, and he's starting to worry. he said he was coming to my house but i told him not to as i needed space. up until the doorbell rang. i sighed and got up to see who was at the door.

it was Daniel.

"Hey." He said, looking so tired and worried. He must've been up all night.

"Hi." I say, emotionless.

"Can i come in?" He asked.

"Daniel, i don't think now is the time. i don't really feel like talking right now and i just want to be alone. so please, just come here another time." I explained, just wanting him to go.

"i just wanted to see how you were doing and i—"

"Daniel. i told you now is not the time. Just leave." I cut him off.

"i'm not going until you tell me what's up with you. you've been so distant with everyone and everything and i just wanted to help you." He said with so much pain and worry in his dark blue eyes that were usually bright, like the ocean.

"CAN'T YOU SEE I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP, DANIEL? I'M BETTER OFF SUFFERING ALONE OKAY, I DON'T WANT TO DRAG YOU INTO THIS MESSED UP OF A HELLHOLE THAT IS MY MIND. JUST LEAVE, DANIEL. AND DON'T COME BACK." I shout, with so much pain and agony in my voice, clearly, i've had enough.

"if that's what you want Ariana, then i'll leave you alone and not come back, just like you said." He said with such a hurtful look as i closed the door. i'll never forget how he looked. So hurt. So broken. but i can't do anything about it when i can't even fix myself.

"i've done enough damage today." i told myself as i cried to sleep.
