Y/n POV
It's been a year since I broke up with her. I know I was crazy to do that but we had our problems. Even if we were madly in love I knew that with everything going on we wouldn't last. Everyday I wake up to an
empty bed searching to see if she was there, but my arms were empty. I stalk her Instagram to see what she's been doing. It seems like she's got her life going good. I don't think she's started dating again. I look through all the photos, videos and memories we made for 2 years. Everyday I think about her whether I'm training, eating or watching TV she's always on my mind. I look at her contact number on my phone, my finger hovering over her picture. I always chicken out. I know if we were to get back together we would still be having issues. I just miss her so much. It seems like it happened just yesterday .
Flashback General POV
Y/n: NO ARIANA I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS AGAIN!
Ariana: WHY? I SAW YOU STARING AT THAT GIRL TODAY!
Y/n: FOR THE LAST TIME I WASN'T LOOKING AT NO ONE!
Ariana: YOU KNOW WHAT F**K YOU!
Ariana run up into their shared bedroom slamming the door shut. Y/n fell onto the couch pulling at his hair. He sighed finally calming down. Y/n looked up at the bedroom door. All he and Ariana did now was argue. For the past few months he felt like they were drifting apart. Their schedules started to clash. Y/n has been busy getting ready for the FIFA World Cup. He's a striker on the US men's national soccer team. Ariana's been in the studio getting ready to release a new album. Both of them haven't been having the time to spend with each other. Both of them arriving home while the other is sleeping. Ariana has been going crazy thinking that Y/n has been cheating when in fact he's been training. Every-time they see each other they argue over the smallest things. Usually Ariana would start a fight over nothing. When they go out in public they stay civil with each other. When the first started dating they were like love sick puppies. Both of them making time to spend the day with each other. They went on multiple dates a week. Although they didn't share so much PDA with the public they did confirm they were dating after much speculation. They would constantly post about each other. Recently fans caught note of them post less about each other and people have been questioning if they are dating. After doing a lot of thinking Y/n finally decides to make a decision. He gets up from his seat before making his way to their shared bedroom. He knocks on the door hearing a locking sound. The door opens to reveal an slightly angry Ariana. He makes his way into the room before plopping himself down on the bed. He sighs before looking at Ariana with sad eyes.
Y/n: Ari we need to talk.
Ariana: What do you want to talk about and make it quick?
Y/n: Ok...ithinkweshouldbreakup.
Ariana: What did you say?
Y/n: I...think...we should break up.
Ariana: No you have got to be kidding me!
Ariana looks at Y/n with teary eyes.
Y/n: Ariana, for the past few months all we have been doing is arguing or ignoring each other. We fight about the smallest things. We never see each other the only times we go out is for events or just going to the mall. But even then I can feel that we don't have the connection like we used to. You constantly accuse me of cheating when I would never dream to. I just feel that a break would better our selves.
Ariana: Please Y/n, you can't. I promise we will fix this. Just please don't leave me.
Y/n: Ariana I'm sorry but if we continue to stay together we will still fight. I don't want to fight anymore. If we give our selves space then maybe we could be better. As for this penthouse. You can keep it. I'll go find myself an apartment I have enough money. Let your family keep you company.
Y/n got up but Ariana held him down, crying into his shoulder begging him to stay. He removed a crying Ariana from him. Tears rapidly leaving his eyes. He grabs a few of his suitcases before filling them with his clothes and belongings. He takes them to his car. Before taking his keys, phone and wallet. He leaves the house one last time hearing a crying Ariana. He quickly leaves making his way to his car, starting the engine and leaving the person he called home for 2 years. He finds a hotel in the next town over. He parks his car and takes out all the suitcases putting them on a cart. He enters the hotel and asks for a room. The front desk worker gives him a key card and he pays for the room. He makes his way to the room putting all the suitcases in his room and returning the cart. He plops down on the bed, he finally lets out a sob stuffing his face into the pillow. He knows he did the right thing but the pain is like nothing he's ever experienced.
General POV
Y/n gets up from his bed making his way into the shower. Today is an off day for him so he decided to just be lazy. Before he broke up with Ariana he would spend his free time with friends. But now all he does is train and watch TV. He never was a drinker, he hated the taste of alcohol, for that he's glad that he didn't go into the wormhole of drinking like most people. He gets out of the shower making his way to the family room of his apartment. After he broke up with Ariana he found himself a apartment a week later. It was a nice apartment, he was able to have enough space for himself. The night he broke up with Ariana he took all his belongings with him leaving the furniture and pictures of them but taking his medals and trophies. He didn't want to have to go back to Ariana's place to get more stuff so taking everything in one go was the right decision.
He sits down on his couch turning on the TV. He surfs through the channels before putting Ellen on. He laughs at a joke Ellen makes. Then Ellen introduces the next guest making them come out. Y/n stares that the screen in shock. Ariana is walking towards Ellen looking flawless wearing a bright smile. What makes Y/n go into shock was that Ariana hasn't done a interview in a year. So why did she choose the day they broke up? Was it to get back at him. Ariana hugs Ellen before taking a seat. Y/n turns up the volume listening intensely.
Ellen: Welcome Ariana Grande! It's so good to have you back.
Ariana: I'm happy to be here.
Ellen: So it's been about a year since you done a interview with anyone.
Ariana: Yeah I was going through some tough times so I needed to clear my head.
Ellen: I'm sorry to hear that but I hope you are doing better.
Ariana: Yeah I've doing amazing. I picked myself up got to the studio and released a new single called "Your Shirt"(Your shirt is by Chelsea Cutler but pretend Ariana wrote it. For the sake of the imagine.)
Ellen: Oh yes. Your Shirt is a beautiful song what's the meaning behind it?
Ariana: Well the reason I was gone is because I had just gone through a break up a year ago. And they left a shirt so I've been wearing it a lot. And I looked at the shirt and it reminds me of them and I just started writing.
Ellen: I'm sorry to hear that you gone through that.
Ariana: It's alright I've actually focused on myself and now I've become a better person. There is no doubt I still love the person, because I do so much but being separated was good for us.
Ellen: I'm glad to hear that your better. Now we got some games set up for you and then you will be serenading us with your talented voice and singing your new hit single "Your Shirt".
Ariana: All right lets do it.
Y/n watched the show in shock. Ariana still loves him? He watched as Ariana and Ellen played games. Every time he heard her laugh his heart would melt. He always loved her laugh, it was cute. As they played games he heard his phone constantly going off. It was full of Instagram and Twitter notifications with his name tagged. He looked at a few of them to see Ariana's fan connecting the dots that the song is about him. He turned his phone off turning off the notifications. He watched as Ariana stood on the stage with a mic. She started singing.
This time it don't feel like you want it all
Did I do something wrong to make you go?
Said I would know when it's all good to fall
Now I just need you here to hold me close, oh
'Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes
That you left under my covers for me to grow cold
I don't wanna miss somebody who's not missing me
But the city feels so lonely when you leave, yeah
My room, where I want you
Tangled ease in my sheets
In your shirt that I got you
Half asleep, holding onto me
My bed where you left me
Tangled up, now it's noon
In your shirt that you gave me
Half asleep, wishing I still had you
Half asleep, wishing I still had you
This time you said you're playing games again
What are we becoming of it now?
It's fine, I said, if you're the one in my head
'Cause I just don't know how to put you out
'Cause I don't want another heart to fill the holes
That you left under my covers for me to grow cold
I don't wanna miss somebody who's not missing me
But the city feels so lonely when you leave
My room, where I want you
Tangled ease in my sheets
In your shirt that I got you
Half asleep, holding onto me
My bed where you left me
Tangled up, now it's noon
In your shirt that you gave me
Half asleep, wishing I still had you
I'm half asleep, wishing I still had you
As Ariana finished the last note, Y/n quickly got up. He started pacing around the room so many things going through his mind. All he knows is to call Ariana. After her appearance on Ellen he comes to term that calling Ariana is the best thing right now. He picks up his phone with a sweaty hand. He unlocks his phone going to Ariana's contact number. His finger hovered over it before pressing the call button. He sat down on his couch waiting for Ariana to pick it up. He heard the ringing stop. And then he heard her angelic voice.
Ariana: Hello?
Y/n: Uh...Hi Ariana.
Ariana: Y/n is that you?
Y/n: Yeah...it's me.
Ariana: Why did you call?
Y/n: I need to talk to you. Can we meet up somewhere private?
Ariana: Uh...sure just come to my penthouse.
Y/n: Okay I'll see you in 45 minutes.
Ariana: Okay see you in a bit.
Y/n: okay imma head over now.
Y/n ended the call releasing a shaky breath. He goes to his bedroom changing out of his sweats and t-shirt. He wanted to go for a casual but presentable look. After all he is going to see his ex after a year. Once he found his outfit he was out the door

He got into his car starting the engine before heading off to Ariana's penthouse.
Time Skip to Ariana's place
During the drive Y/n was a nervous mess. He kept replaying what to say to Ariana so he doesn't sound like a fool, which he most likely will. Y/n pulled up to the apartment building that housed their penthouse well Ariana's. He parked his car making his way into the building greeting the staff after a year. He enters the elevator pressing the button to the penthouse floor. As the elevator climbs, Y/n heart starts to beat faster. He's on his way to see his ex so he can possibly get back together with her. The elevator stops and opens. He walks to the penthouse door raising his shaky hand, knocking 3 times. He waits hearing a small "I'll be there", he listens to the door unlocking before it opens to reveal Ariana in all her glory.
Even if she was in a simple outfit, Ariana still looks stunning to Y/n.
Y/n: Hey...may I come in?
Ariana: Sure sure come on in.
Ariana stepped to the side allowing Y/n to enter. He steps inside the door looking around to see that the placement of everything hasn't changed. All the pictures of them still stand all the paintings are in the same place.
Ariana: Would you like something to drink?
Y/n: No I'm fine. I just really needed to talk to you.
Y/n and Ariana sat down across from each other on the couch.
Ariana: Okay what do you want to talk about?
Y/n: Us
Ariana: What do you mean Us?
Y/n: Ariana the night I broke up with you was the hardest night of my life. I thought that giving each other space would stop us from arguing. I hoped that with the time separated that we would grow. And I think we did. Ariana for the past year I've been looking at your contact number on my phone debating whether to call you but every time I chickened out. I knew you didn't want to see me after breaking your heart. But after watching your episode on Ellen and hearing the song you came out with I knew that I had to call you. Knowing that you still love me, gave me hope that we could get back together. Ariana I ask for your forgiveness. I still love you and I hope we could get back together. If you don't want to get back together I understand but know that I will still love you no matter what.
Ariana looked at Y/n in shock processing what he said. She pondered the thought of getting back together before speaking.
Ariana: Y/n the night you broke up with me. I was a mess. I stayed in my room 24 hours a day only taking breaks to eat or go to the restroom. My family was scared to death at my condition. I was losing weight fast I was constantly crying. But after a few months of mopping around I finally decided to fix myself. I got back in the studio, I got back in shape, I hang out with my friends and family. I was finally happy after a long time but then I saw a picture of us. And I broke down again wanting to get back together so badly. I would cry in a shirt that you left reminiscing the moments we made. I wrote "Your Shirt" for you, it was a message for you. I want you to know that I still love you and want to get back together. But we will still have to go slow before getting back to our old ways.
Y/n: Okay we can go slow. But I promise Ariana that I will make sure I spend time with you everyday and on the days I have to travel I will call and FaceTime you multiple times a day. I will love you unconditionally. Forever and Always
Ariana jumped into Y/n's arms hugging him crying. Y/n held her tight with his own tears. He was happy that he got his girl back. They cuddled up on the couch watching movies. They will always remember this day. The day they mended each other's hearts.
