Touching Stories and Meeting Fans

We were finally out of that creepy house and in a limo on our way to the Today Show stage. We had seen people camped out last night when were heading from America's Got Talent to our hotel.

On the drive over this morning, we were stopped at a red light when we noticed two girls walking towards the Today Show set, a poster with Ariana's name on it.

"Lyric, can you read that?" She asked me, pointing towards them. I squinted my eyes and said after a few moments, "Uh... I see something about life saving, I think."

Once I uttered those words, Ariana immediately had our driver pull over and called the girls over to the car.

"Oh my God, you're Ariana," the one with blue and black hair said.

"Oh my Gosh, you're like a queen," said the other girl with curly dark brown hair.

"Come on," Ari said, opening the door for them to get in. The girl with the curly hair looked completely star struck, while the black/blue haired girl looked like she was going to cry.

"What are your names?" Ariana asked.

"Ashley," the girl with the curly hair said.

"A-Aimee," the other girl answered.

"Y'all have really pretty names," Ari said, smiling at the two of them. "What's your poster say? It's kind of hard to read them while I'm dancing and singing, ya know?" Aimee nodded faintly. Ashley rolled her eyes at her friend and said, "Aimed made it. I have to thank you though, for saving her life. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have such an amazingly obnoxious friend."

"Hey!" Aimee cried, elbowing her friend. Ashley just rolled her eyes at her before looking back at Ariana and I. "She made a poster wanting to thank you for saving her life four years ago as Cat Valentine."

"I'm sure Cat would appreciate that just as much as I do," Ariana said, but I could see the emotion welling up in her eyes. She never thought she could save lives by singing and dancing on a stage or by playing a character in a kids show. So when people tell her, she gets overcome with emotion.

"Are you alright?" I asked her quietly, placing my hand over hers. She nodded before looking at Aimee. Aimee looked away, flushing as she saw what Ariana wanted to ask, but didn't want to intrude.

She pulled the sleeve of her cardigan up to show us the scars on her arm. I saw Ashley look away, biting her lip. I could see how upset she got when Aimee's scars were brought up.

"Don't do this to yourself. You're beautiful," Ariana said, placing a hand over Aimee's scars. "It's not fair that the world fucked you over and made you think dragging a blade across your skin would make it better. Don't give the world the satisfaction of bringing you down and hurting you. You're too beautiful for that. Now come on, let's be happy, okay? We're gonna have so much fun at the concert right?" Both girls nodded, although Aimee did a little apprehensively. "Good. Now come on, I know y'all want pictures as proof that you were in a limousine with me and Lyric, even though she's being all shy and awkward now." I stuck my tongue out at her and she laughed, kissing my cheek quickly. Ashley took a picture first, sitting in between Ari and I, and when we took a picture with Aimee, Ashley started picking herself apart.

"Oh my God I look so ugly," she said quietly, staring at the picture.

"What did you just say? Shut up. You're beautiful," Ariana said before Aimee could even open up her mouth. When Aimee did speak up though, she said, "Ashley, shut the fuck up cause I tell you like every damn day that you're beautiful and if I could like you, I would." Ashley rolled her eyes at her friend before getting distracted by the screams coming from outside.

"Shiiiiiiiit," Aimee groaned, peering nervously out the window. Ari and I gave Ashley a confused look, so she said, "Aimee has anxiety and it kicks in when she's in big crowds. But she had to see you live and I really wanted to as well, so we came."

"Oh that's not a problem," Ari said, waiving her hand dismissively. "You can watch with my mom, Lyric and Nonna."

"Well, I'll be working on the soundboard so not so much me," I said. "But maybe if I can get away."

"I doubt it. You'd probably marry a soundboard if you could," Ari teased.

"Oh yeah. I'm totally leaving you for that soundboard in the studio. She just gets me and we have a real connection," I said, my hand over my heart. We all started laughing before Ariana's phone buzzed. She checked it and started freaking out. "Oh my God."

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Childish Gambino said he may not make it. We'll have to change the whole set, what are we gonna do?"

"Ari, chill." I cupped her face in my hands and kissed her gently. "You'd just have to switch out that one song. Relax."

"But switch it with what!?" She was still panicking, so I looked at Aimee and Ashley.

"Um, my favourite song from the album is Only 1," Ashley offered.

"Mines My Everything but if you want to stick with upbeat songs I'd go with Only 1 or You Don't Know Me," Aimee suggested.

"Okay," Ariana sighed, taking deep breaths so calm down. "Sorry, I just, I know how a lot of those people have been out there for over twenty four hours and I just want to put a good show on for them."

"You're literally queen," Ashley said and we all laughed. Then Aimee looked at Ashley, pulled a face and cried, "Why don't you ever kiss me like that!?"

"Cause I'm straight," Ashley replied.

"That's what Ariana used to say," I chimed in and we all laughed. Then we had to get out, so I brought Ashley and Aimee over to Joan and Nonna so they could stay together and watch the show. Then I made my way backstage to find Ariana and made sure she was set and ready to go on stage.

"I'll be fine babe," she said to me, kissing me quickly. "Relax."

"I am relaxed. You're the one who flipped her shit in the car," I reminded her. She shushed me and kissed me again, a little more passion in this one.

"Okay, break a leg baby," I said, kissing the tip of her nose before jogging down towards the soundboard, getting ready for the show.

//I had to do this cause I was supposed to go to Ariana's performance today but I missed it & my sometimes friend/occasional girlfriend @ellawh0ran wanted to go but she couldn't so let us love our dreams eh?//
