I awoke to the sound of my alarm. Groaning, I pressed snooze and threw my head back into the pillow

"Get up!" I felt two hands shake me until I saw their face, Aaron?

"W-what" I said confused by Aaron even being awake at this time and of course confused of why he was here

"Jacob texted me" he threw himself into my bed and opened his messages "Look!" he shoved his phone in my face, the brightness burning my eyes

I squinted at the text that followed:

Hey Aaron, just wondering if you want to hang out some time? Liam asked if you could bring your friend Ariana ;) text me

- J x

I cringed at the last part but I smiled at Aaron who was excited to text him back...

Ever since Aaron came out a couple months ago, he's been distant from everyone, but me, which makes me feel bad for him, but he's gaining back his confidence and this is helping him

"What do I say?" he exclaimed "I can't believe he texted me Ariana!"

"Just tell him you'll be delighted to go for a drink with him" i grabbed his phone and read the text over again

"Aren't you going to come with me?" his smile faultered slightly which made my heart drop

"This is your chance for a boyfriend, not mine" I assured squeezing his shoulder

"Please Ariana! For me? You never know, Liam seems like a really genuine guy!" a hopeful look gleamed in his eyes, as he grabbed both of my hands

"I've told you, I'm-"

"Saving yourself for Michael Clifford,I know, but for now, can't you help me out? I won't ask for anything else, ever" he shook my body, making me feel more awake

"Okay! Fine!" I shook him off, not being bothered to even protest at this time of the morning

"I fücking love you" he squeezed me hard

"I know you do" I struggled pulling away and getting changed into black jeans - like always

"And I lied" he said quietly which made me panic, a sweat breaking out across my forehead in worry

"About what? The text" I asked confused as I threw on a flannel

"No" a huge grin appeared across his face, he sounded like he was about to tell bad news yet his face told me otherwise

"What then?" I stopped what I was doing to face him completely, my complete focus on him

"The concert..." he started, making my heart beat faster "it's in a week, not three"

My face lit up with joy as I jumped onto Aaron. A wave of happiness and excitement has just made me feel a way I hadn't felt for months

"REALLY?!" I exclaimed almost in tears

"YES REALLY! WERE GOING TO BE THERE IN 3 DAYS!" he replied hugging me tighter

"Are Jacob and Liam coming?" I asked wiping a tear that had fell without my knowledge

"That's what makes this interesting," he started before being interrupted by me
