L.A. For You

Chapter 24: Santa Monica

Grayson's POV: It is July 30th at 9 am, we all decided that we would go to Santa Monica today. Bryce had to leave for some meetings at the Sway House, therefore, he can not come with us. Bryce might be back later tonight, you know how long those meetings can be. Anna finally came downstairs and then Ethan followed behind her. She was laughing with Ethan, I wonder what they were talking about. It does not matter to me anyway, I guess. 

"You guys ready for Santa Monica today", I said trying to make conversation, but Anna was still laughing at what Ethan said. 

"Hm what did you say something", she asked. 

"Yeah I did, I said are you guys ready for Santa Monica", I asked a little frustrated. 

"Yeah of course big brother", Ethan said. 

"I am, who wants to drive because I do not have the energy to", Anna said. 

"I will", I said confidently. 

"That's great, thank you for doing that", she said. 

Anna's POV: That was so sweet of Grayson to drive us to Santa Monica. I could tell he was a bit frustrated that no one heard him. I bet he was a little jealous that I was laughing at Ethan's embarrassing story about the twins when they were younger. What, I can tell when Gray is jealous of anybody at this point. I don't know why he's so protective over me. Anyway, Grayson said we were leaving soon, and I should probably get ready. 

Ethan's POV: Grayson is getting really protective over Anna. He was so jealous of me just talking with her and her laughing. I'm kind of glad tomorrow is our last day with her. Gray needs a break from her pretty bad. As Anna was getting ready, I decided to talk to him in the living room about it. 

"Gray, what is going on with you", I asked him nicely. 

"I don't know E, I'm just not ready to let her go yet. That's why I feel so protective over her", He told me. I was shocked, he really was in love with her. 

"You're in love with her, big bro", I said. 

"What no I'm not", he said sarcastically. 

"Yes you are, I won't stop until you admit it", I said. 

"Fine, I love her. She can't know that please don't tell her", he said.

"I won't big bro", I said. 

Anna's POV: I finished getting ready and I got on my bed to scroll through my phone. I heard Grayson from downstairs saying are you ready to go Anna, and I said coming. As I went downstairs, we were heading out the door. It was not until 11 am when we got to Santa Monica. We got lunch, relaxed on the beach a little, took a really big walk on the beach, and then we walked the pier. The pier was pretty nice and fun, we took pictures for Instagram on it as well. I took my phone out to see Bryce FaceTime me. 

*FaceTime* 

"Hey Bryce what's up", I said with the twins in the back behind me. 

"What time are you guys coming back", he asked. 

"Probably around 8, if you wanna go to the house there's an extra key in the plant. You'll find it", I said. 

"Okay thank you, but why the plant", he said. 

"Because she wanted to be different", Gray said. 

"Ah makes sense. Alright, I gotta get back to meetings, bye guys", he said. 

"Bye, Bryce", everyone said excitedly. 

Dinner was coming around and we could not decide where to go. Every restaurant we were coming up with had meat on the menu. It was already 5 pm and we wanted to go somewhere before it got busy. Grayson finally found a place called True Food Kitchen, it's so close to Santa Monica College. It wasn't too far from a drive from where we were. We decided to take some pictures at the college, then eat. It was around 7 pm until we got out of the restaurant, which means we won't be home until 9 pm, because of traffic. I texted Bryce that we won't be there until 9 and he texted back ok. 

*time skip, 9pm*

We finally got home and I see Bryce sitting on the couch in the living room. I felt really tired after the day I was having. I really wanted to hang out with my friends more so I decided to stay up. Grayson and Ethan were leaving tomorrow anyway. I'm glad they were here to keep me company. I will miss them so much, them being my roommates I could not have asked for more. I decided to go back to my bedroom around midnight, because I was sleepy.
