Ariana's POV
It's been two days. Y/N still seems just as off as before. I hate seeing her hurt like this especially when it's all my fault! Soon I hope she'll be okay, soon I'm releasing my new album.
I'm home now with Vic, Liz and Court. We're celebrating new years, I wish I could be with Y/N but she said that she had to work and then celebrate it with Angie. She doesn't celebrate it much it seems but neither do I if I'm honest. I miss her like crazy but I don't wanna be all up her space when she's going through this, I just hope she's okay.
It's 11:30PM, almost midnight, almost 2024. I'm not as excited as I usually am tho. So I sneaked into my kitchen, filled my wine glass all the way to the top and chugged a few times. I still had some left in my glass though when I walked back outside.
"People are already shooting up fireworks, it's beautiful" Liz says. Everyone agrees looking up at the dark sky with rainbow colored splatter from time to time. We're not shooting up anything because if the poor animals and my dogs. I hate fireworks because of that but I do have to admit that they are very beautiful to look at.
Before we know it Court yells out, "5 MINUTES UNTIL 2024!!"
We all run inside laughing at the stress almost dropping our alcohols. We make it to the couch and I quickly turn on to the countdown.

1! Everyone cheers and click their wine glasses together. We run outside again to watch more fireworks as we run around.
As this is all happening I try to keep my mind off Y/N. I'm so worried about her but I don't want others to know I am. So I put on my poker face and dance around.
Y/N's POV
I just came home from work. I was now working in a grocery store helping costumers and placing groceries in the right places. If I'm being honest it's boring as hell, I miss working at the cafe. It was a great work place, except from the storage room with Naomi.
I don't really miss Naomi, she was really bad for me and Ariana's relationship. But when she wasn't trying to get all over me she was actually really nice. I have been thinking about asking for a application in the cafe again but I know Naomi will be as she was before and Ariana will be mad at me.
Now I'm home at least sitting on the couch with Angie, both exhausted from work. We've been working almost non-stop ever since we moved only a few days off. Our economy is going up but not enough, we both really need a job soon.
Cheap chips was in a bowl in between us and we sat there eating it, it's going to be empty in minutes and we both know it. We also have a glass of white wine each waiting for the counting to start. Then it finally does,

We toast with our wine glasses and wish each other a happy new year before taking a sip of the alcohol. The bitter but tasty flavor fills our mouths. We're brought back into reality when we hear a knock on the door. I furrow my brows wondering who it could be. Angie sits on the couch eating some more chips watching me walking over to the door. I didn't look through the pip hole before but I wish I did, cause I was met by a unexpectedly brunette woman.
"Happy new years Y/N" she greets with a smile. I could tell it's fake, she looks sad.
"Naomi? Hey... uhm... what are you doing here?" I ask here.
"I don't know... well yes I do, I really miss you Y/N! I know you want nothing to do with me but... I just want you to know that I'm sorry and I want you in my life again, as a friend" she explains
"Who's at the door?" Angie questions from the couch.
"No one!" I shout out to her. "Naomi look, you're right I kinda don't want anything to do with you but-" I was cut of by Angie walking up beside me. I could hear her angry breathing on my shoulder.
"Get the fuck out Naomi! We don't want you here! You ruined Y/N's life and when you ruin her life you ruin mine as well so get the hell out!" Angie yells. Naomi startles and looks over at me. I just nod before closing the door in her face.
"What did she want? And why is she here at fucking midnight on new years?!" Angie asks clearly still mad.
"Calm down Angel, she just wanted to become friends again"
"FRIENDS!? I knew she's stupid but GOD DAMN!"
I laugh at her gesture. Then I hear a notification on my phone, I check to see that it's my beautiful girlfriend.
Texts from today 00:19
Ariana: meet me at the big rock outside the bakery.
Y/N: well happy new years to you too! I'll be there as soon as possible babe
She didn't text anything more then that. I had a bad feeling about this. She didn't call me babe, baby or anything that's very unlike her. I had to know what was going on and I was so scared that I had done something bad, I didn't know what it could be.
I told Angie about the text before walking out the door and getting in my car and making my way there. Thoughts raced through my head, what the hell is it that she wants to talk about? When I get there I see her car already parked there and I practically run out towards the rock.
It's a beautiful nights, all stars and fireworks, it starts to calm down though. I see a tiny woman with a beautiful high blonde ponytail sitting on the rock, I could smell her amazing smell all the way from where I was standing looking at her. I remembered she wanted to talk so I quickly made my way to her.
"Hey baby" I smiled leaning into a kiss but she pulls away and my face instantly turns confused.
"Don't call me that Y/N" she says looking deep in my eyes. She looks hurt.
"Why? What's wrong Ari?" I ask.
I see her eyes get glossy and I instantly feel super bad, I don't know for what but I do. "I knew this was a bad idea"
"A bad idea? What do you mean? Our relationship?"
"Yes, our relationship Y/N! How could I be so stupid! You and that GIRL!? How could you!?" She began to cry and when I tried hugging her she stood up. I stood up as well and looked at her confused.
"Who?"
"The girl who kissed you in the storage room! Haven't you seen? It's everywhere on social media!"
"You told me not to read anything there"
"Oh my god Y/N! I genuinely trusted you, but you still talk to her?"
"What? No!"
"What was she doing at your house just 15 minutes ago then? Yeah, paparazzi are everywhere"
Fuck. "Oh Ariana, she randomly just showed up and asked for forgiveness! Nothing happened I promise, I would never hurt you ari" I almost teared up myself.
"How can I trust you?"
"I-... uhm..." I didn't really know myself until, "you can go through my phone, I swear to god I haven't talked to her since here! Check it" I unlocked my phone then handed it to her. She looked through it, I couldn't she what she was looking at but I knew that I don't have a single secret that she doesn't know about.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed" her lips turned into a smile before hugging me. I hugged her back tightly.
"But uhm... Ariana I-..." I started when we pulled back. I looked down at the ground.
"What is it?"
"I still... our relationship might still be a bad idea... I mean we've been trying so hard but it never really works out"
"It does, everytime we've gotten back together, haven't we? We resolve our issues" she looked nervous.
"I know but still... I'm scared of hurting you, maybe we should just... be friends?" I asked. I was very nervous asking that and sad but I had to.
"Oh..." was her only reaction.
Fuck, was this a bad idea?
