Ariana & Frankie: Be My Saving Grace

It was almost Halloween and Ariana and her crew were overseas visiting several countries to promote her new album, My Everything, before she started her tour in the beginning of next year. She was on her third country in two days, and the exhaustion was real. She was not only recovering from jetlag, but the constant flying and traveling was really getting the best of her.

It was almost 4:30pm in the UK, and Ariana had a break before her performance on a London talent show, so everyone was going to go out and have dinner to take a break. She honestly was not hungry at all, but she knew in order to keep energy in her system she had to eat something. Besides, her mom would never let her skip a meal for anything.

When they pulled up to the restaurant they were going to eat at, Ariana's bodyguard got out and opened the door. Since they parked in the back, hopefully no one would see her get out. Ariana loved her fans more than anything, but when she was feeling so crappy she really didn't want to disappoint them with her low energy level and pending snappy attitude.

They walked in, and the waitress led them all over to their reserved dining room. Ariana sat down in between Frankie and Jones. Frankie had just gotten off Big Brother, and she really wanted to spend every possible free minute with him because they hadn't been able to talk in over 3 months. Plus, his sense of humor always made her feel so much better.

"Hi." Frankie turned to her. His smile almost made her smile.

"Hi." She said back, the light in her eyes that was usually always present, gone.

"Hey what's wrong?" He could tell something was bothering her all day but never got the time to talk to her about it.

"Nothing I'm fine I'm just tired I guess."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm fine I promise."

Ariana felt bad because she knew Frankie always wanted to help her and know what was wrong so he could fix it. She was at least telling half the truth though, right? She really didn't feel well. But she couldn't tell him about Isaac. About how she felt his dieting and exercise routines he made her do were getting to be too much for her. Isaac was her friend and Frankie's friend, and she didn't know if she should tell anyone about that or not. She felt embarrassed. What if he was right and she was wrong? Then she would look like a weak little baby who was lazy and people might start to think she was a diva. So she kept it all to herself.

Once the food was ordered, the waiter said it would only be about 20 minutes until it was ready. That was good, because everyone was starving. Ariana didn't feel like eating, but she could tell her body was hungry for some sort of sugar. She could feel her body start weakening, but was too tired to do anything about it. 20 minutes wasn't even that long, right?

There were lots of conversations happening around her. Her eyes wandered around the table and as they did, she made eye contact with her mom who was looking at her with concern.

"Are you okay?" Joan mouthed to her.

Ariana nodded. Joan tilted her head as if to ask, "are you sure?"

"Dizzy." Ariana said quietly. Frankie heard her and turned to look at her. He was extremely protective when it came to Ariana and her health.

"Its coming soon honey, do you need something now?" Joan asked.

Ariana didn't want to pass out, so she nodded.

"I have gum. Want that?" Frankie asked her, reaching in his pocket.

"Okay." Ariana said quietly.

Frankie took out 2 pieces and gave them to her.

"Thank you." She took the gum and unwrapped it. As she chewed she could feel herself calming down a little. It wasn't a lot, but it would hold her until their dinner got there. Joan kept an eye on her.
