(Ariana's POV)

It was a few days later. I had been working on a song called breathing in memory of my mum.
As she had a lung disease that's where the 'breathing' part came from.

As hard as it was, Shawn and I spoke about the future and for the meantime I would be moving in with him in L.A the only reason I said yes as mummy mum wanted me to live my dream and I'm going to do that for her. We weren't going to sell the house but we are going to leave it until we know what to do.

My mum never wanted a funeral and out of respect we decided not to. We had seen her family and friends close to her and I was planning on writing this song for her.

I had finished writing the lyrics I now just had to sing it and upload it as well as publishing it to the charts. (The version of this song is in the video above. A more slow downed version with piano)

Everyone was out so I decided to set my mic up and play the piano and sing...

(Hayes POV)

Everyone had gone out but Shawn was worried about leaving Ariana home alone so I decided to stay.

I was about to call up to her and tell her but I heard her singing.

I slowly walk upstairs and stand outside her door listening to her. God she had an amazing voice.

"Feel my blood running... swear the sky's falling..."
"Just Keep Breathing and breathing and breathing....." she sung.

She even made me cry! She had such a pure voice. I knew the song was about her mum as the phrase 'just keep breathing' was trending on Twitter.

She stopped singing and I heard her stop the mic.

I opened her door,

"FUCKING MUFFINS" she yelled and put her hand on her heart.

"Sorry!" I laugh and walk inside. "You sound amazing" I smile at her.

She blushes back and smiles at me.
She was wearing one of Shawns hoodies and some shorts. The hoodie was so big it fit her like a short dress.

"You're the first to hear it" she smiles

"It's an amazing song" I smile and sit on her bed.

"It means a lot to me" she smiles as she edits it.

She prepares the YouTube video and captions it:

'Just Keep Breathing Mumsy" 🖤
iTunes.uwti//Breathing

As the video is processing she comes and sits next to me in the bed.

(Ariana's POV)

"What are you doing here anyway" I smile.

"Shawn didn't want you alone" I smile and look at her.

"That's cute" She smiles looking down.

Hayes moves closer to me and lifts my chin with his fingers.

"Everything's gonna be okay you know that right?" Hayes ask me.

"She's with me" I smile and hold the diamond on the necklace.

I look up and Hayes and he smiles back at me.

"You're very beautiful Ariana" He smiles and I blush pushing some hair behind my ear.

"Thank you. Not so bad yourself" I smile and he blushes.

We were smiling at each other until suddenly we felt ourselves both leaning in...

Our lips were about to connect when..

"WERE HOME!!!!" Matt shouts. We both jump back and Go slightly red.

Cameron starting walking upstairs and I went back over to my laptop.

"Hi!" I smile and the rest of the boys follow.

"What ya been doing" Shawn asks.

"She wrote the most amazing song." Hayes smiles.

"Let's hear it!" Nash smiles.

I nod my head and press play on the unpublished video. 

*video at the top of page*

As the song ends I look over and see Shawn with tears and the rest of the boys were close.

"Wow." Matt said.
"It's beautiful Ariana" Shawn smiled wiping his eyes.
"You have such an amazing voice" Nash smiles.

"I'm gonna post it to YouTube" I smile.

When the video uploads I copy the link and tweet:

@AriMendes:

(Hayes POV)

Seeing her smile for the first time for a few days was so heart warming. The picture of her and her mother was so beautiful.

This afternoon we were helping Ari pack all her things up as we were due to go back home at the end of this week.

Ariana's phone was going absolutely mad after she posted the video.

"Your fans are so supportive" Cameron smiles.

"I'm so grateful for them" Ariana  say.

There was a little pause and Ariana says  "is that space for tour still available?"

We all look at her with huge smiles.

"Of course" Cameron says and Shawn hugs her.

"Cause I think I'm gonna take it" She says smiling looking at a picture frame of her and her mum.

"We'd love you with us" I smile at her and she smiles back.
