At the door, stood Austin, Justin, and a few of their friends. My smile quickly faded and they walked in.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. Austin stopped in front of me but the rest of the guys made their way to my friends and completely ignored me.
"Showing off your marks huh?" He said, caressing down the side of my neck with his pointer finger. I rolled my eyes and looked over at the guys who were making themselves comfortable.
"What are you doing here?" I groaned.
"Relax mamas, we saw your Instagram story and decided we wanted to drink to" he smiled and walked passed me.
"No, we're having a girls night, y'all need to leave" I said defensively. The guys all looked up at me.
"Oh ariana, let them stay for awhile, you and Austin can uh- go upstairs" she said shooting me a wink. Austin smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind me, starting to pull me towards the stairs.
"Thank god I have permission to steal her for some time" he said, starting to kiss on my neckX I pushed him off of me.
"Nicki, everyone else will be here soon" I said.
"There's like eight guys here and three girls, it'll even out when they get here" she said, nonchalant. Austin once again pulled me towards the stairs but this time I let him. We walked into my room and he closed the door. He quickly pulled me into him and failed his hands down my body.
"Austin no" I said removing his arms from me. "I'm not happy with you" I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
"That's not what you were saying last night though" he smiled and placed his hand on my hip. I rolled my eyes and removed his hands from my body once again.
"I was drunk" I blatantly said. He sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Truth comes out when your drunk, don't it?" He said. I took a seat on my bed and he stood in front of me.
"You cheated on me" I said. He rolled his eyes, let out a loud sigh and took a seat next to me.
"Can't you just move on?" He said. "Like seriously, I get that I fucked up, but it's not going to happen again" he finished, looking at my directly in the eyes. I could feel tears threatening my eyes, but I refused to let him think it upset me.
"Maybe one day, but not now" I said, shaking my head.
"Well what can I do to speed the process, cause I don't like this- energy" he said, trying to explain his feelings. I chuckled.
"Well" I said, and stood up, "if I think of anything, I'll be sure to let you know" I said, giving him a shy smile and making my way to the door. I walked downstairs and he followed. All of my friends had now arrived, it was like, a full on party happening in my house. And as I got to the stairs, more people were coming inside. I quickly found Nicki.
"What's going on?" I said, over the loud chatter.
"Oh we invited more people" she said. She held a drink in her hand and a lit blunt in the other. I furrowed my eyebrows at her a continued to walk around.

A few hours into this now party, loud music was playing on the Bluetooth speakers throughout the house, and I now didn't know majority of the people in my house. Austin was sitting on the couch with his original friend group, drinking a bud light, as usual. I was maybe 5 feet away from the couch, trying to keep it somewhat clean. I spent majority of my night cleaning trash up from the inconsiderate people in my house.
"You're Ariana right?" A man said, approaching me. I looked up at him and nodded.
"I am" I smiled, "and you are?" I asked, sticking my hand out for him to shake.
"I'm Mikey" the man smiled, and shook my hand.
"Oh it's so nice to meet you" I smiled.
"You too, I've been a huge fan for so long" he said with a beautiful smile. I looked at him blankly, I was a bit confused.
"Um- are you- how did you-" I stuttered, trying to figure out a way to ask why he was in my home. He smiled and nodded, as if he already knew what I was going to ask.
"No, I'm not a crazy fan who snuck in, I'm kind of an upcoming artist, I have a band called Social House" he smiled, "Victoria invited me" he smiled.
"Oh that's awesome, I'd love to hear some of your music" I said excitedly.
"Yeah absolutely, let me give you my number, maybe we could get together sometime?" He asked.
"Oh yeah absolutely" I smiled and handed him my phone. He put his number in then gave his phone back to me. Before I could continue our conversation, hands were placed around my waist and I was pulled back. I turned to see Austin, he reached foreword from the couch and pulled me onto his lap. Mikey has walked away, and Austin held my hips firmly.
"You're not going to flirt with someone right in front of me while I'm here waiting for you to give me my chance" he said with a low voice in my ear, sending chills down my spine.
"I wasn't flirting" I said defensively.
"I know, but you don't got no business talking to any other guys" he said, pulled my down so my back was resting on his chest. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked up at him.
"You can't tell me who I can and can't talk to" I scoffed. He lifted a brow and squeezed me tighter.
"We'll see"
