Meet Me In The Meadow

Chapter Ten

It's mid-August and I have I have tickets to a Taylor Swift concert in Seattle. "Hey Grayson! We have to go! Hurry up!" I yell upstairs.
My mom makes me double-check to make sure I have everything. I make sure all the bags are there, and they are. "Hey." Grayson wraps his arms around me, and kisses my head. "We've got to go." I wiggle out of his arms. I hop into the front seat, and he goes into the middle seat. My mom comes in a few minutes, and we are on our way.
~
We land in Seattle around ten o'clock. The concert is tomorrow around seven o'clock.
My mom got two rooms in Seattle, one for her and I and the other for Grayson. I'm too tired to do anything, so I jump into bed, and fall asleep.
~
"Liz! Get up!" Someone's shaking me awake. I sit up and see its Grayson. Of coarse. "Hi?" I get up, and walk toward my suitcase. I grab an outfit, and head for the bathroom to get ready.
I come out a few minutes later. "Let's get breakfast." Grayson's on his phone laying on my bed. "Where's my mom?" Grayson looks up at me,"No 'Good morning' or 'hi'?" I tilt my head,"I did say hi." Grayson raises his eyebrows,"You questioned it." I roll my eyes, and kiss him on the cheek,"Good morning." I take a step back,"Good enough for you?" Grayson laughs, jut laughs. Nothing. Nada.
"What?" Grayson just laughs. I, then, start laughing. After a few minutes we stop laughing. I sit on the edge of the bed,"But seriously, where's my mom?" Grayson rolls his eyes,"She went on a run or something." I roll my eyes,"So helpful." Grayson smiles the cheesiest smile,"I know."
~
"We should go to the Space Needle." I start dragging my mom and Grayson toward the ticket place. "C'mon." My mom gets out my wallet. Grayson and I stand off to the side of where my moms paying. "Have you been here before?" I look up at the Space Needle and remember the last, and first, time I was here. "Yeah." I take in a breath,"it was fun."
After five minutes of waiting we started toward the elevators. The ride up was beautiful. I love Seattle.
Grayson is kinda tense the whole time. It's weird. Maybe it was because my mom was there.
We ended up looking over Seattle for forty five minutes. "We have to go kids." My mom starts heading toward the elevators. I start after, then Grayson grabs my hand. I turn around,"C'mon, we have to go." Grayson just nods,"Let's go then."
~
The doors open, and everyone starts piling into the place. I grab Grayson's hand, and drag him after me. I lost my mom, but she'll come up eventually.
We start heading toward where our seats are, when someone called out my name. I turn around and see, none other than, Peyton. Oh gosh.
"Hey Liz! Wait up!" Peyton starts running after Grayson and I, and I wiggle my hand free of Grayson's grip. Grayson gives me a weird look. I just keep looking at Peyton.
I turn around, and Grayson and I push our way to our seats. We have an aisle seat and the two after it. Aisle, mom. Then me. Then Grayson.
My mom still ain't there, and Grayson is quiet. Oh gosh. Peyton walks up, and sits down at the aisle. "Hey Liz! Long time no see, right?" He winks. I widen my eyes, saying not right now. "Hey, Peyton." I do not want to deal with this right now. I'm here with Grayson. I don't want to deal with Peyton.
"Having fun?" I take in a deep breath,"Sure. You could say that."its quiet for a second. "Peyton, Grayson. Grayson, Peyton." Peyton gets tense and nods, and so does Grayson. Awkward. "Remember the last time you were in Seattle?" I nod. Don't bring this up, please.
*flashback*
"Finally!" Peyton runs off the bus, and drags me after him. "Thank god!" I say as I laugh. Other people from our 'youth group' start piling out of the bus and into the 'hotel'. As the counselors start doing a head count, Peyton whispers,"We should head off somewhere." I look at him,"Oh, so now you want to break the rules? Geez." Peyton just looks at me. I roll my eyes, and smirk,"sure."
After they do head counts, Peyton and I head over to the mall. We "shop" for an hour, then head back to the hotel. While we're on our way, it starts raining. Typical Seattle. "Hey Peyton." He stops, and turns around. "I kinda want to go home. What do you say? Have my mom pick us up?" He smirks,"Whatever. You're just scared Olivia will flip and kill you with a plastic fork." I blush, and look at the ground,"Kinda." Peyton laughs, and pulls me in for a hug. "I won't let her kill you with a plastic fork. I promise." I laugh, and so does he.
Then he kissed me. Hopeless romantic.
I ended up calling my mom, and she payed for tickets for Peyton and I to fly back. She told the main counselor that we didn't feel well, so she payed for tickets for us to go home. It was very funny actually, even though Olivia banned us from youth group for two weeks, it was worth it.
*flashback over*

"What happened the last time you were in Seattle, Liz. I haven't heard this story." Grayson leans over, glaring right at Peyton. I all-of-a-sudden get nervous,"Um, nothing. Just youth group. Nothing much." Peyton laughs,"Yeah, sure. Nothing much." I give Peyton a pleading look, and he smirks. Grayson now looks at me,"No, seriously. I'd love to know." Peyton smirks again,"It was so funny. So our youth group went to Seattle, and Liz and I ditched. We went to the mall, then she chickened out and didn't want to go home. She was scared her youth group leader was going to kill her with a plastics fork." Oh gosh. Please no. "Then she called her mom and her mom was so chill. She told the main leader that she didn't feel well, then payed for plane tickets for Liz and I to go back to Spokane." Thank god!
"It doesn't sound that bad, Liz." I blush again,"It was just... embarrassing, I guess." I say that looking at Peyton. "We got banned from youth group for two weeks." Grayson laughs, and says sarcastically,"Such a bad girl." Peyton laughs, then looks at Grayson for a second. "Dude, I know you from somewhere. Where do I know you from? I definitely know you from somewhere. Shit. Where..." Peyton's eyes widen,"You're Grayson Dolan. Your twin is Ethan Dolan." Grayson raises his eyebrows and look surprised, and I'm equally surprised. When Peyton realizes we are extremely surprised, he says,"My sisters obsessed with you guys." Grayson slowly nods,"Huh."
My mom walks up just then, and stops when she sees Peyton. "Oh Peyton, sweetie!" She give Peyton a big hug. "Hi." My mom looks Peyton up and down. "I haven't seen you in a while. Do you want to sit with Elizabeth and Grayson? I am sure they'd rather sit with you than me." Peyton laughs,"I would love to, but I'm here with my sister and she'll freak if I don't show up." My mom nods,"Well, you can give me your ticket, and I'll sit with your sister." Peyton swallows,"Um, sure?" He hands her his ticket, and sits at the aisle.
~
"Grayson, Liz! Over here! God, you guys are blind." Ethan shakes his head. Grayson and I walk over, and I give Ethan a big hug. Finally, back in New Jersey.
~
"Vamos a la playa!" I scream at the twins. They jerk awake, and groan. "Seriously?" I laugh,"Yeah. Vamos a la playa." Ethan rolls over, and puts his pillow over his head. Grayson just smiles and looks at me,"What the fu-" I tilt my head,"Nope. No swearing." He laughs,"What the hell does that even mean?" I laugh,"'Vamos a la playa' or 'no swearing'?" He rolls his eyes,"Vamos a la playa?"
I roll my eyes,"Look it up dumbo." I grab the pillow off Ethan's head,"Abbie is downstairs waiting for ya'll to get ready. Vamos a la playa." I run out the doors, but can hear Ethan say,"What the frick does that even mean?"
I laugh, and run downstairs. "Hello Queen Abigail." Abbie rolls her eyes,"I expect more from a peasant." I laugh,"Don't we all?"
~
"Thanks Jess!" We all yell at Abbie's sister. She nods,"I'll pick you guys up around two thirty." "Okay." Abbie leads us all to the beach, where we are mobbed by a bunch of teen girls. After a minute, one of them walks over to us. "Are you the twins girlfriends?" Abbie and I look at each other,"I guess so." She smiles,"I'm Maddie." She gives us a hug, and whispers,"Back off bitches." Then smiles, laughs, and says bye.
When all the girls have passed, we pick a spot on the floor. My phone vibrates, and I see it is a Twitter notification. "@ maddybear243: stay away bitches @ fizzylizzy @ queenabbie" Abbie looks at her phone too. Then we look at each other. We mentally count down from three. Two. One. "BASIC BITCHES!!!" Then we run into the water.
~
"We're home!" Ethan yells into the house. Note to self: be less loud. "I figured out what 'vamos a la playa' means." I raise my eyebrows, and look at Grayson,"Really?" He nods. I smirk,"What does it mean then?" He laughs,"Lets go to the beach. Right?" I nod,"Muy bien." He raises his eyebrows. I just laugh.
~
"I found an apartment, so we're moving out tomorrow." My mom is sitting on the edge of her bed, and my sister is braiding my hair. "Okay. Are we in the same district as the Dolan's?" My mom nods,"It is only a five minute walk from house to house." I nod,"Well, I'm tired. So I'm going to bed." Ella ties my hair, and I get up. I kiss my mom and sister good night, and make my way to my 'room'. Aka Grayson's room. And no, it's not like that. Grayson sleeps in Ethan's room.
Grayson was in his room when I walked in. "Que tal?" I laugh,"I'm moving out tomorrow or something." He raises his eyebrows,"Mom found an apartment?" I nod,"Yup." I say popping the 'p'.
"Well then." Grayson gets up, and gives me a big hug,"Your going to need this big hug."i laugh. Just laugh. Again.
~
"So I'm thinking...this!" Abbie raises a black crop top that says "#flawless" I laugh,"And I'm thinking this." I raise a "I woke up like this" shirt. Abbie laughs,"You get this, and I get that." I nod,"okay."
We keep looking at the clothes, then Abbie stops, and her eyes widen. "What?" I ask. She points towards the doors. "Isaac." I whip my head around,"What?!" Abbie drags me away,"Have you been in contact with him?" I shake my head,"Not really." Abbie starts walking toward the corner of the clothing section. "Is he moving back?!" I sigh,"I don't know."
