Ariana Grande/You Imagines

One Love Manchester - !Warning!

A/N: Another idea by @xxRiouykxx - Thank you for the request!<3

Before I start with this imagine, I just want to warn that this imagine is set during the One Love Manchester concert. As it's going to be sensitive content, if you are sensitive to shootings, I urge you to not continue reading.

Also while we're on the topic, if ever you feel like you're going through a difficult time or struggling – please do not ever think you're alone.
My messages will also always be open, more than ever during this difficult time.
I may not solve your problems, but I know how relieving it is to have someone listen sometimes.

Always make sure you're looking after each other, being kind, respectful and open to communication<3

Also I know that "Dusk til Dawn" is by Zayn, but for the purpose of this story let's pretend that it's your song and that it's Ariana singing and not Sia :D

Kept you waiting long enough - here goes:

---------

The crowd was cheering so loudly after Ariana had finished "Be Alright". There was such a wide range of emotions in the crowd. Excitement, sadness, love, joy, hope...Fear was not one of them, unlike that horrible night in the Manchester Arena.

Ariana and her fan base, as well as the rest of the world, had been absolutely devastated at what a single individual had set out to do.

This caused a very long process of healing; but Ariana was determined to bring hope, to try and do everything in her power to try and 'heal' everyone affected.

Scooter and her had agreed in launching the One Love concert to donate the proceeds to the families of the victims and to also show that fear was never going to win. Love was going to.

She had spent so much time visiting victims, families. Cried with them, laughed with them, got to know a small part of her fan base on a personal level. She had loved every minute of it, despite the tragic circumstances that brought them together.

Y/N had immediately positively responded to Ariana's invitation to join her on stage and sing along with other famous names in the industry. In any case, she could never decline any request or invitation by Ariana.
They had worked on a few projects together over both of their times in the music industry. Ariana helped in the writing and back up vocals on some of Y/Ns songs and Y/N had written and produced some of Ariana's songs in exchange. They shared a very close friendship.

Y/N felt a bit more than a spirit of good friendship towards Ariana though.

She had been hiding the ever growing crush on the popstar over the years as she was happily in her relationship with Mac. Mac was also a very good friend to Y/N and with everything he went to and was struggling with, she did not want to take away the best thing that has happened to him. She couldn't do that to either of them, so she decided to stay silent about it and love her from afar.

Y/N had thought about all this while she was watching her secret crush thanking the crowd and running towards the backstage along with Scott, Brian and the other back up dancers. Her arms quickly unfolded and opened up, ready to embrace Ariana as she was running straight to her.

"You did amazing." Y/N told Ariana as she jumped straight into her arms and hugged her tightly. She could tell that the popstar was ready to cry uncontrollably any minute.

This concert was taking everything out of Ariana. She was so happy doing this for her fans and for the cause, but her emotions were so raw and she was constantly fighting away the tears threatening to spill at any moment she opened her mouth to sing.
