So, I didn't add this to my little oneshot collection story, because I'm not sure if I'm going to leave it as a oneshot or continue on with it. So you all tell me what you think I should do. :)

. . . . .

Liz collapsed onto Ariana's bed and sighed with relief at the quietness of the room. She didn't even want to come to this party in the first place, but it was New Years Eve and as hard as she tried, she couldn't say no to Ariana.

She groaned and buried her face in Ariana's pillow, inhaling the familiar scent of her best friend's strawberry shampoo.

She didn't know why Ariana wanted her here so bad in the first place. She has been all over her stupid new boyfriend from Australia all night and had barely said two words to Liz.

Liz heard the door creak open and froze, hoping whoever it was would just think she was asleep and leave her be.

Matt Bennett had other plans though. He quietly shut the door behind him and watched Liz physically relax, before he took off running and jumped right on top of her.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Liz screamed and lifted her head to see Matt grinning above her. She relaxed a little and groaned. "Matty!"

He just chuckled and rolled off of her, laying down beside her. "What are you doing up here all by your lonesome, Ms. Gillies? There is a party going on downstairs."

Liz groaned again and buried her face back in Ariana's pillow. "Don't remind me."

Matt smiled a little. "Ari was looking for you."

Liz lifted her head back up and looked at him. "she was?"

He chuckled and nodded. "I told her I'd tell you to find her if I found you. So now that I've found you, why don't you find her?"

She sighed and scooted closer to Matt, laying her head on his shoulder. "Why? So I can watch her flirt with that jerk of a boyfriend she's head over heals for?"

Matt smiled sadly at her and pulled her closer to him. He knew all about Liz's feelings for Ariana. Liz had trusted him with them a year ago when she had broken down one day in his arms. He knew that Liz had almost told Ariana about her feelings, but then she had started talking to this new guy.

"No. You should find her because you're her best friend and it may be something important."

"But it hurts." She whispered and looked up at him with watery eyes.

Matt wiped the few tears that were beginning to fall and kissed her forehead. "I know it does, but she's your best friend. You can't lose her because of this. And besides, I don't think they will last very long anyway. He is an asshole."

She smiled weakly and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks Matty." She stood up. "I'm going to clean up a little and then I'll be downstairs."

He nodded and stood up as well. "You got this, Gillies." He said and gave his a wink, before leaving the room.

Liz walked into Ariana's small bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She groaned at what she saw. She looked like a mess. She sighed and started reapplying her makeup and fixing her hair.

For four years, Liz has been in love with Ariana Grande and for four years, Liz has been keeping this secret from her. It is becoming quite tiring, but no matter how hard she tries, she just can't shake these feelings away.

So she has sat back and watched and hurt through each relationship Ariana has been through with each jerk of a guy she has chosen to become attached to, and has been the one to pick up the pieces when they all come falling apart. Liz suspects this one will end just the same.

She sighed. "Well, this is as good as we're going to get." She mumbled and glanced at herself in the mirror one last time.

"You got this, Gillies." She reassured herself, wiping away any evidence she was ever crying. "You always do." She took a deep breath and left the room, heading down the stairs, back to the party.
