"Andy. Andy beirsack." The man held out his hand flashing her a smile. She took his hand and smiled.
"Ariana." She smiled her cheeks turning red. He gave her a quick up and down.
"How old are you Ariana?"
"20" she smiled again. I felt jealousy rise up in my chest. There was one thing I always lived by one rule. Never trust a musician. The two began getting deep in conversation. I stood there eyeing andy evilly. Ariana was flirting shamelessly with him.
"He steal your girl?" I turned to face the person now standing beside me. He was tall with long hair and all black clothing, He held out his hand "Christian. But people call me cc." He smiled a friendly smile, "don't worry he's harmless just likes flirting with pretty girls." He laughed.
"Oh she's just my friend..." I said quickly "love your drumming skills by the way."
"Well she is a Very attractive girl" cc stated looking Ariana up and down "and thanks" I clenched my fists. I knew I had no right to feel angry towards cc he was just stating it as it was. I looked over at Ariana. She was wearing the same ripped black jeans and a plain black tee that was ripped in the back. She looked truly amazing yet again she could wear a paper bag and still look as perfect as she does now. She looked over at me and smiled. After another hour of talking to andy Ariana ran over to me and grabbed my hand. We walked around for hours as she got pictures talked and got things signed by various bands.
"This is so fucking awesome!" Ariana giggle sitting down on the grass. She laid back and sighed. I laid back beside her watching the clouds pass by listening to the loud screams and music from the stage. I felt Ariana grab my hand. I looked over to her and came face to face with her perfect deep brown eyes. She was smiling at me her perfect smile. I felt my heart skip a beat.
"You happy?" I asked stupidly already knowing the answer.
"Of course nico your the best friend anyone could possibly ask for." The rest of the day went by fast before I knew it we were back at Arianas. I slumped down on her couch beside her. I closed my eyes and sighed.
"Nico?" Arianas voice filled the silent room.
"Hmm?"
"Stay the night?" I nodded my head. It wasn't the first time I've stayed the night with her. It was totally innocent. Her phone went off. She looked at it and laughed.
"Who's that?" I asked curiously.
"Andy." She laughed and sent a message. I felt jealousy rise in my chest.
"Never trust a musician." I mumbled. Ariana looked up at me and smiled she sat back down beside me and laid her head against my shoulder.
"We're just being friendly nico." She smiled. I ran my hand through her hair carefully, "nico will you sing?" I chuckled. I wasn't the worlds best singer, in fact I actually kinda really sucked. Yet Ariana would always ask me to sing to her when I stayed the night. I never really stopped to question why I just did as she asked cause it seemed to make her smile. I quietly began to hum before singing a simple song. I didn't do the song justice but the first time I was ever introduced to the song it made me think of Ariana.
"I didn't know knew that song." Ariana said shocked. I laughed and nodded as I started again.
"A patience of eternity, my crush. A universal still, no rust. No dust will ever grow on this frame, One million years, I will say your name. I love you more than I can ever scream." I continued running my hand through her hair. I continued to sing staring blankly in front of me. I finished and looked down at her. Her eyes were closed and she was sleeping soundly. Carefully I got up and picked her up with ease. I carried her upstairs and laid her gently on her bed and pulled the blankets over her.
"Nico?" Ariana's voice was sleepy and quiet. I leaned back towards her.
"Yes sweetie?" She patted the spot beside her and pulled me down.
"Stay." She mumbled. I moved closer to her and wrapped my arm gently around her waist. I felt her snuggle into me. I heard her phone go off downstairs and rolled my eyes. I felt sleep take over.
"Wake up wake up wake up!" Ariana was jumping on the bed excitedly trying to get me up. I opened my eyes and pulled her back down beside me.
"You are one evil individual." I laughed. She shrugged.
"I know but we have to go to the mall!" She squealed "get dressed. I never once asked why we were going to the mall. I got my shirt and threw it on. I followed Ariana out to her car.
We pulled p to the mall and I followed Ariana out. She was practically running through the mall. I chuckled as I followed behind her. She stopped outside the music store. I followed behind her as she ran through the isles. She let out a light squeal.
"This is perfection waiting to be heard." She laughed. As she held up a album "just came out today and I had to have it." I looked over and my heart dropped. Victoria stood there locking lips with the stores cashier. Ariana noticed the look on my face. She followed my gaze and frowned. She threw the cd into my hands and stormed over to Victoria.
"Hey you fucking cow!" She practically yelled. Victoria looked at her shocked then her eyes met mine. What crushed me the most was the lack of feeling in her eyes. Ariana began yelling at her. I walked over trying to pull her away.
"Why the hell would you do that??" She yelled at Victoria.
"Why? Why?!" Victoria began yelling back "why don't you ask him! That guys so fucking in love with him it's almost impossible to get his attention!" She yelled. My eyes widened and my heart dropped. Was it really that obvious that I was in love with her. Ariana let out a loud laugh.
"Puh-lease he doesn't love me!" She exclaimed looking at me "tell her." I stood there looking from Victoria to Ariana. I didn't know what to say. I spun around and began walking away. I just walked and walked I ignored Ariana calling out to me. I couldn't handle to tell her. I couldn't bare to risk losing everything Ariana and I had our friendship. I couldn't lose her over my stupid feelings. Just wasn't ready to tell her. Losing her would be the worst mistake of my life. Ariana was my everything, I know it sounds cliche but she was. The way she smiled the way she laughed. Her amazing way of making me feel good. Her perfect style her amazing taste in music and her beauty was undeniable. Ariana was everything to me and I'd rather be her friend then not have her in my life at all. That was the truth. I felt the rain start to fall around me. I hadn't even noticed I was outside until now.
"NICO!" I ignored her calling and continued walking, "nico you stubborn pain in my fucking ass." Ariana grabbed my arm spinning me around.
"WHAT!?" I yelled
"Stop running nico!" I looked at her feeling all anger I had felt fade away. Her hair was get tinge wetter by the second "why didnt you just tell her you weren't into me?" I stopped for a minute and thought. I ran my hands through my hair and then threw my arms in the air.
"Because I can't fucking lie about something like that!" I said "I can't just pretend I don't love you! I can't lie! I can't say I don't love you when I do! I'm fucking crazy about you!" Ariana stood there looking at me shocked.
"You... You love me?" She stammered through the words.
"Yes! I love you! I fucking love you and everything about you even how goddamn stubborn you are! But I rather not admit it because I'd rather be your best friend then lose you over my stupid feelings!" I fell to my knees and put m y face in my hands "I'd rather you never know then lose you Ariana..." I felt her place a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her. The rain was pouring down. Without thinking I smashed my lips into hers. I felt her hesitate before her arms wrapped around my neck.
"Nico..." She whispered against my lips "your so stupid." She had a small smile on her lips as she pressed them back to mine. We sat there in the middle of an empty road in each others embrace. I loved the feeling of her lips against mine. For so long I craved this. For so many years I wished and prayed just to kiss her and hold her.
"We should get out of the middle of the road." I laughed slightly. Adriana shook her head.
"Lay with me." And I did. We laid there in the pouring rain in the middle of the street. I held her hand and smiled. This truly was an amazing night.
