following his footsteps a ariana grande fanfic

Chapter 36

'Or how about we just save ourselves the hassle and never speak to each other again?' I said and stood up, turned on my heel then walked away.

'Ariana, I'm sorry. Please come back.' He called after me. I stopped in my tracks, wanting more than anything to go back to him and have him comfort me and tell me he was sorry but I couldn't let that happen. I took a deep breath and carried on walking.

'Can Liam and Harry please make their way to the stage please'

The voice said loudly all across backstage but I just carried on walking.

-Harry's POV!!-

The show had finished and I had been running around looking for Ariana everywhere. I needed to speak to her. She could be going tonight and I didn't want this to be the way we said goodbye.

I asked Liam but he had no idea where she was. I asked Jane, still no clue. Olly and Caroline didn't know either. I asked everyone! I even went to her dressing room and she wasn't there. Where could she be?

'Hey Harry, me and the boys have been looking for you.' Nialls voice said from behind me.

'Have you seen Ariana anywhere?' I asked him.

'Yeah, I saw her like five minutes ago. She didn't look too happy. I asked her what was up and she just said she was nervous.'

'Where did she go?'

'Back to the water fountain I think, that's where I met her earlier.'

'Have all of you met her?'

'Yeah, well kind of. I don't think Louis likes her too much to be honest with you mate.'

'Tell me about it, thanks Niall' I said before running off in the direction Niall had pointed in search of a water fountain.

After a while I reached some corridors which were so so quiet there was literally no one here. Makes such a difference compared to everywhere else where everyone was running around panicking.

'No, I stood up and walked away then.' It was Ariana, who was she talking to? A pause then she continued to speak. 'No, he called after me but I just carried on walking' She must be on the phone or something.

'I know, but it's better this way. I wont see him after this competition.'

'Are you sure about that?' I asked stepping around the corner so I was face to face with Ariana. What was I doing? Shit.

'Sorry Frankie, I need to go.' She said and hung up the phone. She turned around and tried to walk away from me but I ran and stood in front of her.

'I'm sorry about what I said' I said quietly.

'It's ok' She replied and tried to walk around me but I was too quick for her and again blocked her path.

'Please hear me out? Tell me what's wrong?'

'If I told you then you would wish I hadn't'

'Why? Is it someone in the band? Louis?'

'No, it's not anyone in the band. Just please leave me alone'

'Not until you tell me what's wrong' I replied grabbing both of her hands in one of mine.

'Then we will be here a long time won't we?' She answered trying to wriggle her hands out of mine.

'Why won't we see eachother after the competition?'

'Because I will go back to normal life and you will be touring with your band, plus I don't want to' She replied, that hurt. But I was determined.

'But you will get a record deal, we will see each other at events and award ceremonies and things.'

'What if I don't? And I could easily try to avoid you . Just like I have been for the past few weeks.'

'Please Ariana, one more chance is all I'm asking of you. One date, we don't even need to speak to eachother. Just let me take you out please?'

'I need to get back, I need to be on the X-tra factor soon.

'So?' I asked pushing her up against the wall.

'Harry!' She squealed.

'Ariana?' I smiled innocently.

'This is like rape or something.' She replied still trying to wriggle out of my grasp.

'No, its not' I laughed. 'Please you can either tell me what's wrong or go on a date with me. Your choice' I smiled.

'I choose option number three' She smiled.

'There isn't a option number three'

'Yes there is, option number three is that I don't cause drama by telling you what was wrong, we don't complicate things between us by going on a date and you just let me go and stop pinning me against this wall!'

'Kiss me?' I asked.

'What? Don't you get what I'm trying to say?'

'I do, but kiss me?' I repeated myself. I had no idea what had come over me, Maybe it was the fact that I knew she might be leaving tonight and this might be my last chance to see her again. Maybe it was the fact that I hadn't been this close to her in weeks and I didn't want to let her go again or maybe I was just plain crazy. But whatever it was I was not going to give up this time.

'No, what if I don't want to?'

'Then I will kiss you' I replied.

'Please, please Harry. Don't make things complicated, cant we just leave this alone and leave each other alone. We haven't spoken in weeks now, why start now when we wont see each other again. We aren't good for each other Harry. You hurt me and I have hurt you. We argue and it's not healthy please just drop it?'

'No'

'Why not?'

'Because I love you' I replied before crashing my lips onto hers.
