twenty two

It's been about a week since I got home. A long dreaded week, because in two day's is my first week back to school. Grayson and I have FaceTimed almost and I mean almost everyday. We have texted a lot so that makes up for everything. I miss him so much.

I sit on my bed and groan as I stare at the ceiling. I rethink of everything that happened from meeting the twins, to all the adventures we shared, them finding out about my secret, meeting Ethan and Grayson's friends, Em and Eth dating, Grayson and I telling each other or feelings for each other, going to California, and sharing our first kiss. I have to say, those were by far some of the best times of my life and they happened all in a span of two months.

If it weren't for my amazing family for helping me out I wouldn't be as happy as I am now. Last year was hell and I can't remember a day I was actually looking forward to. Each day made me feel sick to my stomach until I went to New Jersey. Thanks to my awesome Aunt and Uncle for letting me stay with them and my favorite cousin, I was able to have an amazing summer with new people. There were a few bumps along the way due to Cole popping up, but other then that my summer was amazing.

"Hayden, Payton's here!" I hear my dad shout.

"PAYTON I'M IN MY ROOM!" I shout, too lazy to get up. Seconds later my door swings open and she plops on my bed beside me.

"Last Saturday of summer and you're letting it go to waist huh?" She asks laughing.

I nod my head and roll over on my stomach. I groan into my pillow and sigh.

"Want to go to Andy's? Plus I heard a bunch of our friends are going to the drive ins tonight." She tells me. I nod my head. She's right, Ice Cream sounds sooooo good and I shouldn't let my last few days go to waste just because I'm back in Oklahoma.

We get up and I put on my vans before we go to her car. Payton got her drivers license since she was held back, which is pretty exciting now that we don't have to rely on our parents. We get into the car and I plug my phone to the aux blaring Don't by Bryson Tiller. Once we got to Andy's she ordered both of us Boot Daddy's which were my absolute favorite.

She parks the car and we eat it. "Take a snapchat." She begs. I nod my head and pull out my phone.

"Best friend award goes to Payt the Great for getting my ice cream." I say into the camera. Payton laughs as she shakes her head an I post it on snapchat, getting tones of views within seconds as Grayson and Ethan's followers had found my social media's.

Minutes later I get a text from Grayson.

Gray<3- I want ice cream :( no fair.
Me- Go get some, G.
Gray<3- I'll have eth and em go.
Me- Lazy bum.
Gray<3- Thanks baby. :) I miss youuuuu
Me- Miss you too. A lot.
Gray<3- We'll see each other soon. I promise.
Me- Good. I'll text you in a bit, Payt and I are going to get ready. I love you.

"And we are here." She says as she parks the car in my drive way. We enter and are greeted by my dog jumping all over us. We of course pamper her with kisses and hugs before going to my room. I go to my closet and just stare.

"I have nothing to wear."

"Shut up." She says rolling her eyes and going into my closet. She pulls out a cropped gray sweatshirt, high waisted jean shorts, and my vans. "Cute but comfy." She explains. I roll my eyes before she smirks at me.

I quickly change into the outfit before grabbing my purse and phone charger. We make our way to the living room where both my parents sat watching who knows what. My mom was laying down on the couch with her Kindle in her hand and my dad was lounged on his leather lazy boy. He had his glasses propped on his nose and his phone in his hand as he played some airplane game.
