(A month later: Logan's POV)
"Woah woah woah... so Becca quit the Bella's?" I asked as I was walking down the halls with Clair and Ari. "Yeah, crazy. Right?" Ari sighed. "Damn, I would've thought that Clair would be the one to leave first," I shook my head, I winced as my baby sister hit my arm hard. "Shut up you ass!" She glared.
I rubbed my arm, "relax... I was only kidding." I grumbled. "Will you two try to act your age?" Ari rolled her eyes. "Oh please, quit acting like your an adult, we're still in college you know." I reminded her. "So, we still have to be mature." Ari said. "You're right..." I hummed, suddenly an idea came into my head. I looked to my sister, "Clair, could you excuse us for a sec?" I asked politely.
Clair gave me a strange look but nodded anyway and walked away from us. Ari started to give me a suspicious look, "are you ok Log...?" She asked curiously. "Oh yes..." I quickly picked Ari up with ease and slung her over my shoulder, once I did so I quickly started running with her squealing clinging onto me. "Put me down!" She screamed. "Never!" I laughed as I kept running holding onto her.
When we made it to the public pool I jumped in with her still holding me screaming as we fell. I swam up grinning. Ari started to splash water at me, "asshole!" She yelled at me but I could see her grinning at me, I chuckled as I grabbed her arms. "Oh relax, you love it." I snickered. I looked down only to realize that I was still holding Ari. I couldn't stop my cheeks from growing red at that exact moment for sure...
"Uh— L-Logan?" Ari stuttered out as she looked at me. As I looked up I couldn't help but notice the fact that her lips looked amazing to taste. Or the way those water droplets fell along her chest as if they were nothing... wait, what the hell am I thinking?! Ari is my best friend and I know it... but is she really?... damn, I can't believe I'm actually second guessing myself. Ok, keep it chill Lo... just tell her...
"Hey, uh— Ari I..." her chocolate eyes focused on my dark orbs. "Yes?" She asked. "I have to tell you this... to get this sudden weight off my back..." I sighed.
Her eyes sparkled when she heard, her lips curving upwards into a smile as she nodded slowly for me to continue. I gulped, "well... I just think that you are an amazing person, and I'm lucky to have you as my friend, and that I will miss you after I leave Barden for Post Malone." I finally let out.
As soon as the words left my mouth I suddenly regretted them as I noticed the twinkle in her eyes disappear along with her smile. "Ari? Are you ok?" I frowned. "Y-yeah," she choked out. "I just— I just need to finish this thing, see ya." She pulled away from me and climbed out of the pool, quickly running away from me.
All I could think of that moment was... what did I do?...
(Ari's POV)
"I'm lucky to have you as my friend, and that I will miss you after I leave Barden for Post Malone." I felt like my entire world fell, my smile dying along with it and tears were about to come out.
I made a quick excuse to Logan as i quickly climbed out of the pool and ran to my dorm. Once there I locked the door and rested against it as I started crying. I know after this year I would never see him again but with how he called me just a friend was worse than the thought of never seeing him again.
Oh shit I really do love that asshole... I sniffled to myself, "god... why me? Why did I have to be the one in love with him?" I sobbed quietly, I hugged my knees as I continued to sob to myself.
I heard banging against the door and Clair's voice, "Ari? Can I come in? I left my key inside!" She said. I sighed wiping away my tears with my thumb and unlocked the door to let her in. She walked inside with Cody holding her hand.
"Woah... are you ok, Ari?" Cody frowned as he looked at my puffed up face. I shook it off, "y-yeah, I am fine..." I lied, "don't mind me..." I lied on my bed about to go to sleep uuntil I heard Cody and Clair making up.
Groaning I sat up and left them to have their little sex session. With my dorm key in one pocket and my phone in my other I closed the door and went down the empty hallways. Since there was no one there I was able to cry to myself without anyone seeing or hearing me at all. Thank god this is college...
I slumped against a wall letting my misery overrun me. "Ariana?..." dammit! I thought everyone would be asleep by now! "Go away, please..." I murmured. Becca ignored me and sat down next to me. "What's wrong?" She asked.
So then I had to start telling her about the Logan incident and everything. When I was done Becca actually let me cry on her shoulder.
"Ari... if that jerk had to make such a pretty girl like you cry then he shouldn't deserve your love." Becca told me. "Ok, damn— I sound like my dad." I giggled as we both stood up. "Look, we've been through enough dealing with the Bella's, so how's about we go to my dorm?" She suggested. I smiled and nodded, she led me to her dorm.
I spent the night with Becca watching the Breakfast Club with her, I saw her starting to cry so I had to hold her close to me. "Th-thanks," she choked out as I let her sob.
What I didn't expect was for her to start her own sob story from during the performance that we sucked balls at to the part about Jesse.
"Woah... seriously? That's crazy." I murmured softly. "Yeah..." Becca sighed. "Any chance the Bella's want me back?"
"I know that most of us, minus Aubrey, want you back." I said. It made me glad that i was able to make her smile. For the rest of the night we started talking about random things for no reason.
