Y/N POV

Present Day – Zac Sang Interview

" 'Anyone Else' – Gotta say, I love the song. The raw emotions felt in that last bit of the song was truly gripping. But couldn't help but notice, though, that for an album that was purely inspired by heartbreak; it's interesting that you start this whole album with a love song. How did that come about?" Zac asked me.

I felt absolutely nervous going in depth with the explanation with this album but I knew this was what I was signing up for. I wondered if Ariana was watching. I knew that Zac and her had been quite good friends. Maybe he had given her the heads up? Or maybe she didn't care at all and I was just delusional.

"Well, the whole track list is actually in a specific order. I wanted for the album to follow the story of a heartbreak. The reason why it starts with a love song is because every heartbreak starts with a person being unconditionally in love with another person. This song was actually written during a time where I had been away for awhile from my partner at the time." I paused as I took a sip of my water.

"Being on tour is tough sometimes because you can go months without seeing your family or friends. Ultimately, I wrote this song and dedicated it to my partner, at that time, reminding them that no matter how many people I touch with my music, my soul unequivocally belongs to them. This song was also right before everything started to fall apart. A few months ago, I picked up this song again, and rewrote the ending, making it sound a bit sadder and filled with emotion at the end of it compared to the beginning to symbolize the beginning of things going sour. I realized when I picked the song back up, that my emotions had totally changed. The line 'I don't belong to anyone else' in the chorus starts from meaning 'I don't belong to anyone else but you', to, now, meaning 'I don't belong to anyone by myself.' It gives a sort of good introduction to the album."

Flashback – 3 years ago – American Music Awards

"Excuse me Ms Grande, I think that's Y/F/N Y/L/N's designated seat." The host said to the one and only Ariana Grande. I found myself completely star struck as I saw her looking absolutely flawless in her gorgeous outfit, her ponytail was hanging so naturally to the side of her shoulder. Her top left much to the imagination and found myself looking somewhere else while the host confronted Ariana by fear of her realising that I was staring.

My gaze wasn't detached from her that long as when I turned to look at her after the host spoke to her; she looked quite confused. She turned around to her seat as there was a small print on the seat labeled with who was supposed to sit in it. As soon as she saw it, she turned back to the host and to me, her eyes wide in shock and embarrassment.

"Oh my god. I am SO sorry." She said as two other people next to her scooted to the seat over so that my seat freed up. The host did not look impressed, but I found it quite funny.

"There we are." The host said turning to me "I hope you enjoy your night." She smiled and turned to walk away.

"I'm deadass blind, I can't read this shit." She put her hands to her mouth. "Sorry I didn't mean to swear." She looked so nervous and I don't know why. If anything, I should have been the one to be this nervous.

"Seriously, it's fine. I found it quite funny and if this host wasn't there, I probably would have taken another seat and not troubled you." I said as I sat down next to her. I was not the one to wear any of these big gala dresses so I had decided to pick a simple suit instead. I felt massively underdressed with Ariana next to me.

"She had a stick up her ass. anyways" I said, remembering how the host had given that glaring look to Ariana.

Ariana's laughter pierced through the noise from the crowd and I couldn't help but smile at her outburst. The two people next to her leaned forward to look at me.
