Mickey's Point of View

We arrived at Becky's house.

Things just don't feel the same without Austin and Becky.

I sighed

"Wait. What if she really lost her memory? We would just be making her uncomfortable by doing all this" Robert explained

Alex rolled his eyes

"Robert, We've been best friends since 1st grade. Of course I would know if she's lying. And remember, She took acting lessons 2 years ago." Alex said

I smiled. She always wanted to be an actress.

But I think she should be a model. She has the body and beauty for it

"You're right." Robert apologized

"Lets just go in the house " I said impatiently

We went in and up to her room.

When we reached outside of her door, we heard sobs

"Please stop crying Becky. Austin doesn't deserve you. You deserve someone better. And Im sure Austin regrets it. You can do better" A girl said

She sounds very familiar.

"B-But Austin is the only person I will ever love! And he hurt me so much! I dont think I can take the pain! Im not over it yet! But seeing Austin in that much pain also hurts me!  Why does this have to happen to me?!" She yelled in a sob

I knew she didn't loose her memory!

I slowly opened the door to see Becky hugging a girl sobbing hysterically.

The girl looked very familiar until she turned around

My jaw dropped

"A-Ari?!" I yelled

Her eyes widen

"Mickey!"

End of POV

After Alex left, I started crying for what seems like hours.

I checked the time and it turns out I've been crying for about 45 minutes.

Wiping away the tears, I got out my hoodie

It was pretty cold outside.

I decided to take a walk to Starbucks.

Its where me and Mickey would always go when we're upset

Don't ask why. We just do.

Walking away from my house, I saw a moving truck a couple of blocks away

It looks like I'm going to have a new neighbour

Two couples came out

They look like they're in their late 30s.

And they look very familiar.

The lady looked at me and got wide eyes

She called what Im guessing her husband and pointed at me

They waved and smiled at me

I awkwardly waved back and fake smiled

Picking up my pace, I walked away

I finally arrived and sat down

I took in a deep breath and started thinking

Thinking about what Austin's doing right now.

He's probably fucking Taylor for all I know.

A tear slid down my cheek

It really hurts.

Im in love with him. I cant control who I love.

I kept thinking until someone tapped my shoulder

"Hello do you mind if I sit here?" She asked

She sounded familiar

"Sure." I said

I looked up and gasped

Her eyes widen and she dropped her drink

"BECKY?!"

"ARIANA?!"

I got up and hugged her tight

"What are you doing here?!" I yelled excited

We pulled apart

"I moved back!! My dad found a job here! You look soo beautiful!!" Ari told

I smiled. Yes a real smile

"Me beautiful? Look at you! You're gorgeous! "

Ariana was part of the crew until she moved away to the UK. We call her Ari.

We sat down and started catching up

"What are you doing here?! Why didnt you tell me that you're coming back?!"

She smiled "Because it was suppose to be a surprise! I was about to go to your house until now!" She told

I nodded "Im so happy you're here! This just made my whole day!" I smiled at her

"Aw I missed you and the crew so much! What did I miss while I was gone?"

I frowned.

I forgot that she didnt know about Taylor and what Austin did.

I told her. Everything.

About Austin changing because of Taylor, him not believing us when we said she cheated on him, calling me a jealous bitch, going into a coma, broken promises he made, everything.

Even my plan. Pretending not to remember anyone or anything.

I was already in tears.

She came next to me and hugged me.

She was also crying

"I'm sorry Becky. I never knew Austin was like this. I wish I was here earlier to help you with all this! Austin is an asshole for doing it."

I continued crying

She pulled back and wiped away my tears

"Becky. Please stay strong. Austin isn't worth your tears" She said caring

I shook my head

"Im in love with him Ari. Theres nothing I can do but fall for him more." I whispered

She knew I love Austin.

She use to have a crush on him but she's over him now.

And she just got out of a complicated relationship

"Oh sweetie." 

She pulled me into another hug.

I didnt let the tears fall.

She just came and I want her to be happy.

"Things will get better. I promise" She said

"I hope you keep that promise" I mumbled 

I took a deep breath and wiped away the tears

"So where do you live now?" I asked

"Just a couple of blocks away from you and Aus- Alex's house." She said nervously

"Ohh so that was you house that has a moving truck?"

"Yup!"

"Haha no wonder why. Your parents must've remembered me. They smiled at me and waved" I told

"Yea. They never forgot. They treated you as a daughter remember?"

I smiled at the memory

I looked at the time and saw it was getting late

"Ari, its getting kind of late, want to walk home with me?" I asked hoping she'd say yes

"Sure. I didnt take a car anyway"

We started walking home

Just a couple of blocks away from my house, I hear sobings from across the street

I turned my head and saw a teenage boy crying in his stairway.

I looked closely and saw it was Austin.

I knew why he was crying...

Maybe he finally knows how it feels.

I stopped at my tracks and started at him.

I felt something wet pour down my cheeks

It was tears.

Seeing him in this much pain, I can't take it.

He looked up.

Those beautiful hazel eyes now filled with tears now looking at mine.

He stood up

"Becky..." He said in a cracking voice

"I miss you.." I whispered loud enough that only I can hear

He started walking towards me but I ran away

I can't do this.

I can't stand to see him like this.

I have to stop with this stupid plan.

I don't care that he hurt me. Seeing him in this pain hurts me more.

"BECKY!" Ari shouted and chasing after me

I ran in my house and slammed the door of my room and started sobbing

A few minutes later, Ari arrived

"Becky! Why did-"

"I can't do this Ari! I just can't! Seeing him in this much pain kills me! But he also hurt me so bad!" I sobbed with my knees pulled up to my chest

She came and hugged me while I started crying in her shoulder

None of us talked.

The only thing we could hear was my sobbs

About an hour later, Ari spoke. 

"Please stop crying Becky. Austin doesn't deserve you. You deserve someone better. And Im sure Austin regrets it But you can do better" she said

"B-But Austin is the only person I will ever love! And he hurt me so much! I dont think I can take the pain! Im not over it yet! But seeing Austin in that much pain also hurts me!  Why does this have to happen to me?!" I yelled sobbing

We heard the door opening

My heart started beating faster.

Someone heard us..

The door open and the crew was here

All of their expressions the same

Shocked.

"Ari?!" Mickey yelled

"Mickey!" She yelled back

They looked at me and gasped
