Meridian (Ariana/You)

Chapter 27

A/N: Before I publish this overdue update, I wanted to truly apologise for taking so long to get to update my books. Unfortunately, I don't have much free time anymore for me to be able to come up with regular updates due to working overtime at work.
The only thing that I can promise is that I am not giving up on the books and will publish updates whenever I can and whenever I feel that the chapters are taking the stories down the path I want the story to go on.
Once again, thank you for your patience, for still reading my books and for all your support<3
You've all been truly amazing!! Love youuuu<3

--------------------------------------------

I found myself staring at the track name, as if by some miracle it would change right before my eyes.

I was sitting at my desk trying to process everything that was happening. My work became optional, I couldn't focus on anything I was doing, I even forgot where I was for a moment.

I knew that I had at least a couple of hours to go until I could get to talk to her. I had considered calling her, but I really didn't want to wake her up.

I felt hurt, I felt scared too. Scared that this album leak was going to be blamed on me but at the same time hurt that she had just lied. Then I went through confusion. I was confused as to why she said she would tell me she would put my name then suddenly change. Did something happen? Why didn't she tell me about the change?

I know I was very skeptical about this album having my name on one of the songs, but then why lead me on this way and change her mind last minute to put the name of her ex/ kind of not ex for that song.

She said she wrote it about me.

What else did she lie about?

Asking all these questions was driving me mad and I quickly lost track of time. It's not until I heard the voices of Kevin that I realised that I had absolutely spaced out, drowned in my own anger and disappointment.

"What happened to you?" He asked, probable seeing my not so well hidden frustration and panic.

"Nothing, just been a long night and I'm tired." I absolutely did not want to have any sort of discussion about my feelings with him especially due to the fact that I could not mention about my interactions with Ariana. I quickly took my bag and left the office.

"There's nothing you need to know about today, everything from yesterday's shift is on the handover. Now I really need to go home." I sped by him and hurried down the stairs, leaving a very confused Kevin behind.

I was shaking in the changing room. There is no doubt that Ariana would find out her album had leaked and I was afraid of the reaction. I was afraid of confronting her about the titles of the song. I even found myself not wanting to have anything to do with Ariana for a split second.

I knew it was too good to be true to have a famous pop star flirt with you like that and claim to write songs about you. Maybe I had been a whole distraction this whole time and now that she was back home she just threw me away. I mean what did I really expect? We had just known each other for a couple of days.

But why remodel my whole fucking living room? I was so confused.

The trip home was equally just as fast. I had opted out for adding any songs by Ariana on my playlist for my trip home.
This whole night had been a mess and the best thing to do for me now was to go to bed. I was tired anyways.

I woke up a few hours later with a massive headache by the sound of my phone buzzing against my bedside table. I reached out to it and flipped it over to see "Ariana". The call stopped to reveal over 20 missed calls by Ariana and a few unread messages.
