Currently you were accompanying Ariana on her 2nd leg of the sweetener world tour and today was a show day.
You both had woke up this morning at your hotel when you realized that today was already beginning to be another rough day for Ariana.
The past couple days have been really difficult for her due to her depression, anxiety, and homesickness all coming at her at once. She had woken up with nightmares multiple nights in a row which made her extremely tired for the shows.
Ariana hadn't said much to you this morning but you made sure she knew that you were there and that she knew she was loved. You gave her multiple hugs, ordered breakfast for her, basically tried to do everything in your power to bring some light to her.
Currently you two were in the dressing room at the arena a couple hours before meet & greet and soundcheck would be happening. You both were cuddled up on one of the ginormous bean bags with Myron and Toulouse at your feet.
"I love you." You look down to Ariana who is laying on your chest casually scrolling through her phone. It was just a simple gesture but Ariana looked up from her phone and smiled.
"I love you too, my love." She said back to you while rubbing her hand against your cheek. "Thank you for everything you have been doing to help me these past few days."
"Of course baby. I'm always here for you no matter what, truly." She kisses you on the cheek and lays her head back down on your chest.
She ends up falling asleep on your chest which eases your mind that she is finally just resting. Sometime after Ariana fell asleep, you ended up deciding to as well.
About an hour later, Ariana's team came in to do her hair and makeup for the show. Ariana was practically on the verge of tears the whole time, her hand intertwined with yours, squeezing once in a while to hold back tears.
She was tired. The nap you both took ended up being one of those naps where it only makes you even more tired then you were before. Which was the worst thing possible for Ariana who had gotten a max of 3 hours the night before.
You were with Ariana every step of the way, not leaving her side once. Soundcheck and meet & greet helped distract her for a couple hours but then once she got back to the dressing room to get ready for the show, it all came rushing back.
She bursted into tears the second she stepped foot into the room.
"Oh baby." You say, rushing over to her. You wrap your arms around her shoulders squeezing her tight.
"I'm tired y/n." She tells you through her tears.
"I know baby, I know." Slowly, you lift her up as she wraps her arms around your neck and legs around your waist. Burying her head into the crook of your neck as you carry her over to the loveseat.
You sit down on the loveseat as she straddles your lap, still sobbing into your neck. "We can cancel the show tonight if you just want to rest. Whatever you need honey."
She doesn't respond, just holds onto you tighter which you gladly return. Hearing her sobs breaks your heart, all you wish is that you could take away all her pain.
After a while of you just holding her in your arms, she raises her head from your neck and gives you a kiss. Thanking you for staying with her and not leaving.
She slowly gets off of your lap and walks into makeup and wardrobe to get ready for the show. You smile shaking your head at how strong and determined your girlfriend was.
_______________________________
It was now showtime. You and Ariana are hand in hand as you walk her to the stage. As you make it to the stage Ariana is on the verge of tears again.
"You got this baby. I promise." You pull her in for a tight hug. "I love you and I'm right here waiting for you when you get back."
Wiping away some of her tears, she pulls you in for another hug and then runs over to get in position for 'Raindrops'.
She looks over to you and you give her a little wave and a reassuring smile to let her know you are there.
She raises up the mic to start singing 'Raindrops'. She makes it a few words in before she stops and breaks into tears again. Shaking her head in defeat, you run over to give her another hug and kiss before 'God is a Woman' begins.
She ended up pulling off another spectacular show tonight. Throughout the show during interludes you would talk to her and just be next to her as much as possibly to make sure everything was okay.
Following 'Thank U, Next', she ran off the platform into your arms. "Can we cuddle when we get to the bus?" She asks in sweet voice.
"I would love that." You reply smiling and pulling her back in for a hug. "I'm so, so proud of you. You are the strongest woman on this planet Ariana, i hope you know that."
You can feel her smiling into your neck as she continues hugging you. "I love you so much."
"I love you more."
