Chapter 9

**Liam**

I don't know what was wrong with Kelly, why did she behave abnormally? Now Ari is mad at me.

I rushed out of the house and headed to Alex's apartment, I got there eventually.

"Hey bro" He said when I got in.

"Bro I just fucked up" I put my head in my hands in despair.

"What's the deal man?".

"Kelly called me this afternoon saying that she was around and needed my help to pick her from the airport".

"I took her home thinking it wasn't gonna be safe for her at the hotel and since she said she was getting her house next week we drove home, only for me to meet Ari at home".

"I introduced them but Kelly snubbed Ari" I explained every detail to him.

"Man you fucked up, you should have corrected everything when she snubbed Ari, and you shouldn't let her sit on your laps"

"But she's my female bestie," I argued.

"Bestie that wants to play with you, don't forget she's also my friend and she has been into you since 8th grade".

"Okay man since she's not into you, can she stay with you for the week" I said coyly.

"Noo dude!!! Do u want my kitten thinking otherwise?".

"Okay fine she can stay with mom".

"Oh that's great" I said and rushed back to my house.

When I got home, I met Kelly in the sitting room.

"Hey Kelly you are gonna stay with Kate for the week before you get your apartment, so go get your things" I said

Just then the door burst open.

Damn this looks like trouble.

An angry Petra entered inside.

"Sis seriously I can explain, yeah I know I was wrong but I just sorted things out she's going to go live with Kate now, Alex already called Kate, I truly love Ari I guess my work didn't make me have time and she started thinking otherwise, I swear I love her" I spoke really fast and stopped to catch my breath.

"Woah chill Liam, that was a great speech though" Pet said.

"Do you truly love me?" I heard Ariana's voice.

" Ari, I do I really do and I am sorry if i didn't show you my true emotions ever since" I said carrying her up and turning round with her, we laughed like we were kids again.

"I love you baby" I said.

"I love you too," She replied.

We heard some sniffling only for us to turn and see Petra crying "Don't blame me that was so emotional" She said when she noticed our gaze.

We both hugged her.

Just then we heard some steps, we looked up and it was Kelly coming down with her luggages, I totally forgot about her.

"I was taking her to Kate's house," I said.

"Okay let's all go then, Kate actually convinced us to live with her too, she really loves Ari" Petra said.

"Yea I noticed".

We all walked outside, Kelly was moving towards my car when Pet stopped her.

"Hey miss, ride with me, let's leave the two love birds alone" She said, she collected the car keys from Ari and they drove up with Ari and I driving behind them.

"Petra is crazy," I said amidst laughter.

"I love her that way, Kelly is in trouble if she tries any funny stuff".

**Petra**

I heard when Ari was explaining things to Kate, just then Kate pleaded with us to move in with her, we headed home to get a few things, then I was driving straight to Liam house when Alex called and explained everything and Kelly moved in with Kate.

I drove into Liam's house, he panicked and started stating everything that happened in a rush, just then Ari walked in and they reconciled.

I pulled into Kate mansion, the maids came out to carry the luggage and we all walked in,I sighted Alex on the couch.

I walked towards him and knocked him on the head.

"Ouch!!!" he screamed.

"Couldn't you have just stood up to welcome me?" I sobbed.

"Is the phone more important than I am?" I asked.

"I'm sorry babe" he pleaded "let me treat you to an ice cream" He said and I squealed.

"We will be right back mom" We called as we walked out.

My eye caught Kate feeding Ari some soup.

The maids already showed Kelly to her room.

Chapter 10

**Kelly**

Argh I can't believe liam did this to me, after everything I did now I have to act sober and act for forgiveness, if not the plan will get ruined and Skyler will kill me, yes you heard me right, Skyler sent me.

She called me before she went into surgery and explained everything to me. I have always loved Liam, so I decided to use the opportunity with Liam and keep her updated while she undergoes her surgery.

"Ma'am you are called for dinner".

"I'm not hungry thanks" I said sniffing and crying.

I'm sure she's going to go tell them and they will come check up on me.

**Petra**

Everything went well, we got back home in time for dinner, we we're all seated round the table but Kelly was nowhere around us.

"Clara?" I called a maid.

"Yes ma'am".

"Go tell Kelly dinner is served" I said.

She went up and came back a few minutes later..

"She said she's not hungry ma'am and it seems like she has been crying".

"Ok you can go" I said and she walked out.

"I will go check up on her" I said and stood up.

"I will come with you," Ari said.

"Let me also come," Kate said.

"I guess we should all go then" Alex concluded.

We got to her door and knocked on it, I could hear her crying.

"I said I'm not hungry," she said, still sobbing.

"Kelly it's me Petra please open the door" I said.

"I'm so sorry for everything I caused between your friend and Liam. I guess I was just jealous because we used to be close, ``she said amidst tears.

"It's okay Kelly I understand, mistakes like that happen and trust me, I and liam have forgiven you now come on" Ari said.

Soon the door cracked open revealing Kelly she really had a red eye, Ari pulled her into a hug its okay Kelly she whispered.

They pulled away Liam and Alex hugged Kelly, followed by I and Kate we all headed downstairs only for me to meet the shock of my life.

"Oh my gosh!!, Preston is that you?" I screamed running into his arms. I even forgot I was pregnant.

"Yes baby doll" He answered smiling.

"It's been a long while" I said

"I know my love but I needed to face my musical career you know" he said pecking me.

"Oh my sunshine don't be mad, Ariana baby.

I love you so much baby , don't be mad at me.

Cause I gotta make it, so baby don't be mad

My dearie u always look ugly when you sad

So just light up my day with your smile". He sang.

Ari ran straight up into his arms.

"I miss you presty" Ariana whispered.

Omg God you are Preston George the idol, Kelly said

Yea baby he replied

Forgive my manner please am Preston George, Petra's twin brother he added

"Whatttt!!!" They all exclaimed, oh I forgot they don't know that I have a twin.....

**Alex**

After everything upstairs and we headed downstairs a short drama took place.

I swear I was jealous of all the beautiful names he called Petra and the way he pecked her.

I also noticed Liam will kill someone with the way he started singing for Ari...

"Whatttt!!" we all exclaimed immediately he said he was Petra's twin.

"You didn't tell me you had a twin" I queried.

"Well you didn't ask and again this fool made me keep it a secret from whosoever cared to know" Petra pointed a finger at the smiling Preston.

"Dad never supported his musical career so he left home telling only I and Ari his whereabouts".

"He made us swear not to tell anyone, not even our younger sister because she's the emotional type".

"He promised to come back soon but he never returned nor called but each time I see him on Tv I know he is safe and I am always relaxed" She finished her explanation quite out of breath.

"Oh welcome to the family son" mom finally spoke up.

"I'm a huge fan of yours she chipped in, can I get some autographs?"

"As many as you want ma'am" He said.

"By the way Pet, how's mum? Dad? And my sweet Lucia?" He asked just then Petra started crying.
