It is now Monday and Grayson left me a voicemail at 3am drunk that night. I won't get into that. I have school today and sleepily roll out my bed to get ready for the day. I leave the house at the same time everyday for school.
On my way to school, I get a call.
"Hi there Grayson."
"Ethan said he is fine with Friday night? What should we all make?"
"I can make jalapeno poppers, Ethan can make that dessert that everyone likes, and you can make something of your own."
"I can do that. You on your way to school?"
"Yep."
"I will let you go. See you Friday. Be there at 7."
We then hang up and I continue on with my busy day.
-----
"Do you have plans this weekend?" Anna asks me when I get home from school.
"Friday night me and some girls from school are going to have another girls night," I lie to her.
I know that I am going to need a new lie soon. They will not buy that the whole time.
"Then next weekend do you want the girls from San Diego come down for the weekend?"
"That sounds like fun. Let's do it."
------
Friday night rolls around and I make what I said I would. I tell my sisters that the 'sleepover' I am going to, we are all making something. I have to tell them at some point that I have started talking to these two again.
I text Grayson when I am out front and he comes out to help me in.
"Ethan and I are all set up. We are just waiting for you," He tells me as we walk into his house.
I see Ethan in the kitchen getting everything ready.
"Next weekend we are having our first close YouTube friend party since working on the short film. In fact, it is for the short film. We basically invited close friends that also do YouTube over and we are going to show everyone the film before we put it out to the public," Grayson explains to me.
"My sisters and I have some friends coming down from San Diego. I don't know if I can get out of it."
"Just tell them so you can come. I really want you there," he tells me as he holds my hand.
"I can work something out with them."
He smiles and then we help Ethan get the last of the food ready for our little dinner.
------
After we eat, Ethan and Grayson clean up. I am very tired from the school and work week, I decide to lay down in Graysons room. I don't fall asleep, but I do watch some T.V. I realize I want some water.
I hear the two brothers talking so I stop.
"Do you want her as bad as before?" I hear Ethan ask his brother.
"I really do. She wants time to get to know not just me, but you too."
"Get to know us?"
"She has a point Ethan. We did just disappear on her. I did. I know that hurt her a lot. I can't blame her for wanting to ease back into it."
"How long are you going to wait?"
"As long as it takes. I missed her and seeing her again has made me realize I don't ever want to leave like that again."
My heart is so full from hearing that.
"Then you might want to tell the girl you met that," Ethan tells his brother.
I knew I heard a female laugh the other day.
"I like her too though."
My heart shattered at hearing that.
"You need to pick man. I suggest going with Everly. The whole group knew that you two liked each other. It is still very clear that you still like her very much. I think it's more than a like. I think you love Everly."
"I don't know man. It's hard."
"It's really not. You already know who to go with. You just need to wait for her now."
I wait a few moments before making myself known so they do not know I have heard them. I then walk down the stairs and get my water.
"I will be up in about twenty minutes," Grayson tells me.
I just go back up the stairs like I didn't hear anything and wait for him.
When he comes to his room, he joins me by laying next to me in his bed. I do not say anything.
"Did you want to watch some Friends?" He asks as he turns on the T.V.
"That's fine."
"You alright?"
"I am fine Grayson."
He stopped there and we watched T.V. I ended up falling asleep before he did.
-------
When I woke up to an empty bed, I wondered where he could be. I rubbed my eyes and opened them only to see him there with flowers.
"Thank you Grayson," I let go of what I heard last night in that moment.
"Can we please go see your sisters? It think Ethan misses them."
"Alright. I don't think they have anything planned today. I can text them and let them know when to expect me."
"That would be great. I will go tell Ethan."
He then left the room and I got myself ready for the day. He was back on the bed when I finished.
"I would like my favorite egg breakfast this morning," I tell him.
"Let's get down there then. I am hungry."
-------
After breakfast I let my sisters know that I was on my way home for the day. They still do not know that I have the twins with me. I think they will be super excited.
"Ready guys?" I asked them once I parked.
"Ready," They say at the same time.
We get in the car and walk through the door.
"Grace! Anna! I have something for you guys. Come on," I say through the house.
I then hear the both of them come down from their rooms. Their reactions to the twins is unforgettable. Reunited at last.
