Ariana's diary

Oblivious

I'm still here by Sia.

Ariana's pov

" I swear, I would soon strangle you Tania. Do you always have to get on my nerves? I told you something just yesterday and you keep contradicting. You and Ariana like doing the same things." Chelsea kept rambling as Tania retaliated.

" You should think about what you are saying. Why would you say that is the novel for the movie. A normal person with sense would not just end with that conclusion." Tania scowled.

" How dare you........" Chelsea said as I lost focus. I couldn't hear both of their whines anymore. I was thinking of what Jake said the night before. It was true I liked him when we were younger but I had to let go of him when I found out who he truly was. Why does he still think about me?

I stare at Chelsea. Why is he not threatening her too. She was also in the video but he decided to focus on me. Why me? What exactly is in those documents he wants me to steal? 

Questions keep going through my head as I stare blankly in space. What should I do about him? My mum needs to know. I do not know why I am hiding it from her. Maybe it is the fear of her getting disappointed when she sees the video. I don't expect her to be happy about it but she would surely find a way to help me out of the situation. Maybe call the police on Jake.

" No." I thought aloud.

If she calls the police, Jake would find a way to escape again and he would just show the video to the police. That would be more trouble for me. All he said at the store would happen and I and Chelsea might just end up running to him. I stared, feeling the anger rising up inside me. I started laughing all of a sudden. I kept laughing as tears started flowing down my cheeks. I was breathing heavily, scared of everything that was about to happen. I kept laughing and crying at the same time.

" Ariana? What is wrong with you." Tania looked at me fearfully as Chelsea was just staring at me like I was crazy. Wesley was looking at me intensely like he was trying to figure me out.

" What?" I said, tears still falling out.

" Were you just crying and laughing at the same time? I hope I didn't see that happen." Chelsea said.

" No. No. No." I kept whispering to myself.

I was going crazy bit by bit.

" Ari. Ariana!" Wesley said holding my shoulders firmly. Kevin and Aiden came walking behind me and saw what was happening.

" What is going on?" Kevin asked as he stared at Wesley who was trying to comfort me.

" Ariana is crazy. She has gone crazy." Tania said looking at me. I just couldn't stop crying. I wrapped my arms around my knees just as I did in Aiden's car as I kept crying and whispering 'No' to myself. All of what was going on just had to be a nightmare. My eyes was red due to lack of sleep the night before. I kept thinking about Jake and our time together when we were little. I had to use sleeping pills before I could sleep. Aiden bent down in front of me and lifted my chin. He tried to look at me but I didn't let him. It was embarrassing. That was the second time he saw me crying for no reason and I just couldn't face him.

" Ariana?" He whispered but I averted my eyes. I just kept crying. I could feel all of them looking at me.

" Hallucinations?" Chelsea said as everyone turned to her. She looked pissed.

" What do hallucinations have to do with this?" Kevin looked angry at Chelsea's expression.

" She knows what I am talking about." Chelsea stared at me.

" No coded languages here please?" Wesley said but she didn't utter a word, neither did I.

" I am calling him and your mum. You are going back home." She said standing up with her phone. I couldn't utter a word. I just sat in my position, tears refused to stop flowing.
