*Ariana's POV*

I woke up the next morning for school. Ugh I do not want to do this. I got ready and slowly made my way to kitchen for breakfast.

"Morning." Dad smiled at me.

"Morning." I sighed. He chuckled and walked up to me. He put a finger on each corner of my mouth.

"Turn that frown upside down." He smiled. I rolled my eyes and smiled. "There's that beautiful smile." He smiled. He then went back to his seat and I sat next to him. In front of me sat a plate of burnt toast and burnt bacon. I looked at him and then back at my plate

"What is this?" I asked him.

"Breakfast!" He said.

"Dad, this isn't breakfast. Did Jess make this?" I frowned.

"No. I made it." He proudly smiled.

"That explains a lot." I nodded. He looked at me in shock and I laughed. He shook his head as I laughed.

"You know what you better watch yourself. I was going to let you get your driver's license after school, but I don't know now." He said.

"Wait what?" I smiled.

"Never mind. I changed my mind." He shrugged.

"Dad I am so sorry! I will eat all the delicious burnt bacon and toast you make for me. Just let me get my driver's license!" I smiled.

"Alright I suppose I could take you after school." He said. I cheered and hugged him.

"Thanks dad." I smiled.

"But you better eat that breakfast I made you." He laughed. Suddenly I heard a horn honk. It's Stephen, Jonathan and Lacy!

"Saved by the horn." I smiled.

"Just wait till I make you breakfast again. Just wait and see." He smiled. I laughed and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Have a good day. Love you." He smiled.

"Love you too." I smiled. I grabbed my bookbag off the chair and walked out of the house and to the car. In the front sat Jonathan who was driving, Stephen and Lacy sat in the back. They're dating now! I sat in the front next to Jonathan.

"What's up Timberlake?" Lacy smiled at me.

"Nothing much,what about you Pitt?" I smiled.

"Nothing much." She smiled. She then looked at Stephen and they kissed.

"Thank God you're back. I can't handle being a third wheel by myself anymore." Jonathan said. I laughed and looked at the couple then back at Jonathan.

"Are they really that bad?" I asked Jonathan.

"Yes." He sighed.

"We aren't that bad!" Stephen said.

"Yes you are Stephen!" Jonathan glared at his brother. I laughed and shook my head.

I really missed Stephen,Jonathan and Lacy.

*Justin's POV*

I cleaned up my terrible cooking job in the kitchen. I can't really cook meals but I can cook dessert! I make the best hot fudge brownie cake with ice cream on the side. Jess loves it, but Ariana hasn't tried it yet. I should make it for her soon.

I looked around the empty kitchen. Nobody is home except for me. Ariana is of course at school and Jess is at a photo shoot for some magazine. Since I'm off tour now, I have no idea what I'm going to do next. Make another album? Star in another movie? Make another amazing comeback? Well I can't make another amazing comeback, my last one was pretty amazing!

I guess I should focus on what I should do today. I could go hang out with Jimmy, but he's busy doing a People magazine interview. Ever since he began to host The Tonight Show he's been getting busier and busier. He's doing really good, I'm like a proud father!

I could go to Baze's bar! Nothing like a beer at nine A.M! I chuckled at my joke I made to myself and grabbed my car keys. I went out to the garage and got in my black Cadillac and drove away.

I soon arrived at Baze's bar. There's nobody here considering that it's nine A.M. I opened the door of the bar right as a young teenage girl was walking out. We bumped into each other.

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Oh my God, you're Justin Timberlake." She gasped.

"That would be me." I chuckled. " Is Baze here?" I asked her.

"Uh yeah." She nodded. "I'll go get him." She said. She walked back into the bar and I followed her in. She looked back at me before going up some stairs that I'm assuming led to his apartment upstairs. Soon Baze and the girl came down the stairs.

"Justin!" Baze smiled.

"Hey man." I smiled. We did a 'man' hug.

"You know Justin Timberlake?" The girl asked Baze.

"Yeah." He nodded. "I didn't tell you?" He asked her.

"No!" She said.

"Sorry kid." He laughed. "Hey shouldn't you be going to school?" He asked her.

"C'mon Baze, Justin Timberlake is here!" She said pointing at me. I chuckled and Baze shook his head.

"Cate will kill me if I make you miss another day." He said. I wonder if this is his daughter?

The young girl groaned, grabbed her bookbag off a barstool and went to the door.

"Wait I didn't get your name." I said to her.

"Lux. Lux Cassidy." She told me.

" Nice to meet you, Lux." I smiled.

"You too, Justin." She smiled. Lux then walked out of the bar.

"So I'm guessing that's your daughter." I said to Baze.

"She sure is." He nodded. "I didn't even know I had a daughter till a couple months ago." He said.

"Wait what? That's crazy." I said.

"Yeah. Her mom is this girl I slept with in high school. Her mom gave her up for adoption and now she's sixteen. She applied for emancipation, but she needed her mom, Cate and I's signatures on the papers. So she came to me, I signed the paper then we found her mom and she signed the papers. Then at her court date Cate and I went to be supportive. The judge wouldn't let her get emancipated and gave us temporary joint custody." Baze explained to me.

"Wow." I said.

"She's a really great kid." He smiled.

"I kind of understand what you're going threw." I said.

"You do?" He asked me.

"Yeah." I nodded. "When I was seventeen and I met this girl in Burbank. We slept together and she got pregnant. I didn't want the baby so I cut all contact off with her. Sixteen years later, my daughter Ariana showed up on my doorstep. Her mom died this year and so she came to live with me." I explained.

"Finally someone who understands." He laughed.

"I know right." I laughed.

"Have a seat man." He said. I sat on one of the bar stools and he went behind the bar and stood. "So what brings you here?" He asked me.

"My wife is at a photo shoot for some magazine, my daughter is at school and well I'm all alone." I said.

"What about Jimmy?" He asked me.

"He's doing a interview for People Magazine." I told him.

"Well now you aren't alone." He smiled.

"What time does this place get busy?" I asked him.

"Around six or seven." He answered. "Why?" He asked me.

"You have anything to do today?" I asked him.

"Nope." He shook his head.

"You wanna help me figure out what I'm going to do now that my tour is over?" I asked him.

"Sure." He nodded.

"Alright let's go to my place." I said.

"Okay." He nodded. He locked up his bar and we left.

Hopefully he can help me.

*Ariana's POV*

People stared at me as I walked threw the hallways of the school. I heard people even whispering about me. I stopped walking and looked at everyone.

"Don't you have something better to do?" I glared at them all. Everyone quickly stopped the staring and whispering.

"I always knew you could clear a hallway." I heard someone say. I looked and saw Will standing in the middle of the hallway. I rolled my eyes and walked in the other direction. I am not dealing with him right now. "Oh c'mon Ariana." I heard Will say. I heard him jog up to me and he walked next to me.Jonathan then walked up to us.

"Leave her alone Will." He glared at Will.

"Only if Ariana wants me too." Will looked at me.

"Go away Will." I sighed. He nodded and walked away. "Thanks Jonathan." I said. My half uncle and I then began walking down the hallway together.

"Of course. That's what I'm here for." He smiled.

"Let me guess, my dad told you to look out for me?" I frowned. He sighed and nodded. "Of course he did." I rolled my eyes.

"He's really worried about you Ariana." He told me.

"He doesn't need to worry." I said.

"C'mon he's your dad. Of course he's going to worry." He said. I stopped walking and looked at Jonathan who also stopped walking.

"The only reason he's worried about me is because of what happened at the concert." I said. Jonathan looked at the ground. "I'm right, aren't I?" I said.

"Yes." He sighed.

"I always am." I said. I then walked away leaving Jonathan in the hallway. When I get home I am giving my dad a long talk.
