------------------

I took a deep breath before knocking on the door to Aria's office, "Ari, it's (Y/n). I need to talk to you about something."

"Come in, (Y/n)."

I smiled and opened the door walking in and closing the door behind me, "Ari, do you promise to 1, not be mad at me for this, and 2, not to tell anyone?"

"Only honour as both a pop star and prosecutor, I promise not to tell anyone, nor to be mad at you."

I smiled and took a deep breath, "Okay, so, I have a massive crush on Riley, and I need your help to confess to her."

Her eyes widened, "(Y/n), are you sure about this? What are you going to do if Riley doesn't feel the same? I know how fragile you are and how easily you break."

"You're trying to talk me out of it. I knew it, I knew you wouldn't like what I told you. I should never have come here to ask for your advice."

"(Y/n), I'm not trying to tell you not to have a crush on my sister! You're my best friend and I just don't want to see you upset if she doesn't feel the same."

ARIA'S POV - for like a minute

How can I do this?! (Y/n)is my best friend. I just don't want to see her get hurt when she tells Riley how she feels. Why was I so sure that my sister would reject (Y/n) immediately? Because I knew for a fact that Riley was straight. Meaning that (Y/n) wouldn't have a chance.

"Ari, please? What sort of thing does Riley like?"

I gulped, knowing that there was no talking (Y/n) out of confessing to Riley. Whether I told her now or when Riley told her herself about her sexuality, (Y/n) would still end up getting incredibly upset.

"I'll tell you this, although, Riley told me not to tell anyone, but she has a massive obsession with One Direction songs."

"Thanks for that info, now if you don't mind I have to go and think of my plan of confession." And with that she was out the door.

I sighed, flopping my head on my desk, Aria, you should have told her! I know that (Y/n) x Riley is best ship, but I don't want to see her hurt, when Riley tells her she's straight. I was brought from my inner monologue by the door opening again, "Aria, what are you doing?"

I looked up at the familiar sound of my girlfriend's voice, "I'm regretting stuff, what does it look like, Francine?"

"What are you regretting, Aria?"

"What I told (Y/n). She came asking me how she should confess to Riley, normally, I'd have told her everting in existence to get them together, but-"

"But what?"

"Riley's straight. (Y/n) has a 99% chance of rejection!"

"99%? Wouldn't that mean-"
