Not edited bc tired af from practice so don't hate me okay? okay thanks

"Babe, you can tell me what's wrong!"

"Ari, I'm fine!" I sobbed, scooping another spoonful of Ben and Jerry's icecream into my mouth.

"Aria, you're not fine. That's okay!"

I stopped crying and looked at her.

"She's changed," I said, looking at her.

"How?"

"I don't even know! She was always so sweet, and then she changed. She's a completely different person now. Have you seen her twitter?"

"No, let me check." She pulled out her phone and I watched her as she read the tweet aloud.

"'Don't you hate it when the girl you've always trusted ditches you when she gets a new boyfriend? #sotiredofthatbitch' oh my God, I'm so sorry Aria," Arielle said, looking at me sympathetically.

"You need Alex," she said, looking at me.

"What? No I don't," I replied.

"Yes, you do. Let's go visit Harry at the bakery. I'll text Alex to meet him there."

"I look like a mess," I sobbed, "and I'm not even hungry."

"You don't have to eat. You just have go get out of your house for a little while."

"Fine," I mumbled, going upstairs and changing into something other than sweatpants.

"Hi, is Harry here?" Arielle asked the lady behind the counter.

"Yes, I'll go get him!" She smiled, going into the back. Harry walked out a minute later and smiled when he saw us.

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked, opening his arms open to hug me.

Arielle said, "We have some friend problems so we realized the boyfriend could fix that."

Right as Ari finished, Alex walked in the bakery and posed.

"The fun has arrived! Thank you very much," his voice boomed through the bakery, the three of us laughing.

"Slow day tocay?" I asked Harry, looking at him questionably.

He nodded as we sat down at a table when my phone rang, so of course I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hello Aria!"

"Hi mom."

"I have to say I'm a little upset."

"Why, mother?" I asked, rolling my eyes

"Because since we moved, you haven't bothered to call once."

"I've been very busy."

"With what Aria?"

"School, mother."

"Okay well good. Are you too busy to come to dinner on Friday?"

"That's my anniversary mom," I said, rolling my eyes for the second time during this unneeded call.

"Of what, must I ask?"

"My boyfriend and I," I said, realizing that mother still thinks that I am with Louis.

"Oh, well all the more reason to come of course! We'll make a special dessert, don't worry."

"But-"

"We'll see you there, Aria. Oh and next time, find a better excuse of not talking to me."

With that she hung up, leaving me speechless.

Thanks babes for 1.1k

ohhh and btw all my friends are called "babe" so yeah if it confused you that Arielle called aria babe get used to it bc it just comes naturally when i write ha.

And also if your religious, please pray for one of my friends right now. She's going through tough times and she's cyberbullying others. It's not like serious cyberbullying, but it's enough to hurt others and bring their confidence level down. She knows exactly who she is, and she's most likely reading this. If you did pray or keep her in your thoughts, comment here and I'll give you a comment and vote spam on any story you want. xx

ILY ALL
