Two➳E.D & G.D

Seven

@graysondolan:"This weeks video is out!!
Go check it out and thumbs up if ya want ;)"

My phone made a loud noise and I quickly check it, swallowing the last bit of burger.
It soon dings again so I hurry in my pocket and unlock it.

@ethandolan: "guys! It's up! Go check it out! Oo and give it a thumbs up! <3"

I smile widely and retweet immediately the two tweets.
All my daydream is interrupted with Andrea clearing her voice.

"What's happened girl?" She asks while I look back up at her.
"The video is up!" I tell her happily and she claps her hands.

"You're a famous youtuber now!" Kian says with a smile, unlocking his phone and clicking on the YouTube app. He types in their name and the video pops up.

They haven't cut any parts. Just the little weird details maybe. But they sure didn't cut the flirting between me and Grayson. Once their really cool song comes up Andrea and Kian look up to me with smirks.

"What we're all those mysterious looks?" Kian asks with a smirk and turns to Andrea who smirks wider. I shrug and blush.

I open the comment section and I'm immediately confronted with reality. Hate comments all over.

"They hate me" I whisper and Andrea snatches my phone and scrolls through them. She furrows her eyebrows and sighs loudly.

"How could people possibly hate you?" She asks but our conversation gets interrupted by my phone beeping without stopping. Andrea gives me the phone back and I open my Twitter. I immediately get flooded with hate tweets and people insulting me. I feel my eyes water and I get up.

My phone rings and I pick up quickly.

"Mandy? Are you okay? I'm so sorry we didn't think this would happen" I hear Grayson say through the other line.
"Don't worry" I say sniffing.
"We're coming to pick you up" he says and hangs up before I can protest.

I sigh and give Andrea a sad look. She tells me to go to the principals office and tell her it's important. I nod and do so. The principle, surprisingly accepts so I walk out of the red doors and wait patiently outside. Head down, a few tears scrolling down my face.

Soon enough, an uber stops in front of me and the two twins hurry out and give me hugs. I let out all my tears and and they push me into the car. Each one of them is sitting on one of my sides and they both are holding my hands.

"Where are we going?" I ask wiping away the few tears on my cheeks.

You're stronger than this

"We thought we'd bring you home, and just talk about it you know?" Ethan says with a sweet voice and puppy eyes. I smile slightly and nod.

These boys have been so sweet. But the problem is, every time they're sweet or kind or just hang out with me, I always wonder if it's because of my dad. Are they doing all this because my dad is their manager? Are they like the others?

But every time I remember how the others acted, how they'd always call to ask for help or a favor. In this case, I've done nothing for them, it's just them, they're doing everything for me and are making me happy.

I love them so much.

The car stops in front of my enormous villa, surrounded by palm trees. Always makes the Hollywood sky look pretty. We all get out of the car and Ethan pays while Grayson walks with me into the house. My stepmother greets us with a worried look on her face, she immediately hugs me tightly giving me a light kiss on the head.

We've never really been close. She's always been their for me though when I needed help. Her and my dad have married five years ago, they seem very happy. I just live with it, but miss mom...

"I've made tea, would you like some?" She asks me and Grayson and we both nod walking to the kitchen. She pours it in three empty cups and leaves the kitchen, biting her nails a little.

I grab the colorful cup, and take a small sip from the boiling tea. Lemon tea, my favorite.
Grayson grabs the blue cup, and wraps his fingers firmly around it.

We both sit at the island and sip in silence, staring at our cups. Ethan soon walks into the room, making it less awkward for the both of us, and sits next to me.

"Is this for me?" He asks pointing at the green cup full of flowers. I nod and take another sip of the tea.

"Mandy" he says taking a sip "I know this is hard to deal with, you'll take time to accept it. We've dealt with it too, all our lives. After a while you just get used to it. Get used to the fact that not everybody can like you and that there will be people in life who will criticize you out of jealousy. Without really knowing you. But you just have to move on with your life and smile."

I lower my eyes, making his words sink in. He's right, not every body likes me. People tend to dislike me because of my way of thinking, but I've got a hang of that. The thing I don't understand is why people who don't know me have to criticize me. There's no need. They need to discover me, and then they can judge.

Grayson's look crosses paths with mine and the room gets a hundred times quieter.

"I'll get the habit don't worry" I whisper sipping the last drops of tea left.

I get up and place the cup in the dish washer, Grayson and Ethan do so too and we all walk upstairs to my room.

Once inside, we all jump on my bed and the mood lightens up. We start reading the positive comments of the video and the edits that were made of it. Some are so funny I can barely breath.

"Guys I need to pee" Ethan says locking his phone and jumping up from the bed.

"What are you waiting for?" Gray asks chuckling at the little movements Ethan's making. Jumping a little and moving his head quickly. Without an answer he runs in my bathroom and locks the door.

Grayson and I immediately burst out in laughter and roll on my bed.

We're on each side of the bed, opposite to each other. I start rolling up to him and suddenly our bodies collide together. Making our heads bang on each other.

"Ow" I whisper placing my hand on my forehead. Grayson does so too, whimpering a little.

"Sorry Mandy" he says giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"It's okay Gray" I tell him closing my eyes softly as I let the kiss sink into my skin.

"Mandy I have to ask you something. Tomorrow's Valentines Day, and I was wondering-" he starts making my heart pound but Ethan interrupts him once he runs into the room.

"Here I am!" He shouts grabbing my hands and leading me out of the bed. He makes our hands join and starts dancing, making me turn in circles on myself and valse from an edge of the room to the other.

I let out small giggles as his body touches mine.

I turn my head, slowly to Grayson frowning. His eyes are glaring at Ethan and giving sad looks to me. I immediately leave Ethan's grasp and crawl into him. I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss his cheek. I've never done something like that before. I feel so close to him right now.

He soon wraps his arms around my waist and lets himself fall on the bed. Making me fall with him but into his arms.

"You were saying?" I whisper in his ear.
"Would you like to be my valentines date tomorrow?" He whispers in my ear. I nod quickly and let go of him, falling back on the bed.

Ethan is standing, looking at us, sadness in his eyes but soon smiles.

"I love you guys so much" I tell them and they smile.
