Grayson and I |Grayson Dolan|

13: two days of New York

day 2 of new York was going much better, me and my friends, including Logan (who i was getting along with really well), all went to the statue of liberty.

"Ava! were gonna be late for breakfast..." Harper said as she got up and shook me.

i groaned at her and flapped my hand trying to get her to leave. i was still on LA time so it would've been around 5 am. breakfast ended at 11 so we had 2 hours to get ready. I phoned Chloe to make sure everyone was up and ready for 10 so we could go down for food. i got showed and dried myself and got dressed. i decided to wear a cropped jumper, some mom jeans, a pair of converse and a leather jacket to top to off.

"now i know why your suitcase was so big..." Harper said looking at my outfit, "you have an outfit for every day" she said jokingly. i laughed at her and then said that it was a precaution incase i ran into Grayson.

"didn't you meet him at Starbucks... whilst you were wearing paint stained joggers and you had your hair in a messy bun?" she said in a teasing tone.

"you know what i mean..." i said as i gave myself one last look in the mirror. i grabbed my handbag and we both headed out of the door to go and get the others. it was half 9 and we were hoping everyone was ready.

i knocked on the boys door first and joe opened the door half asleep...great start. i told them to hurry up as we were going to get food in half an hour. at the rest of the doors, everyone came out of their hotel rooms ready to go.

"where are joe and Logan?" emily said looking around.

"they're still getting ready..." i said with an unhappy grin on my face.

once everyone was ready, we made our way down to the restaurant part of the building. we all ate and then made our way out of the doors to go to the statue. i was so excited. Maddie hailed the taxi that was like a mini bus and we all got in. i told the driver to take us to the port for the boat to liberty island. i looked over at Logan once i turned round and he was looking straight at me, staring almost. i smiled at him as if to say 'stop looking at me, its creepy' but then we smiled back as if to say 'I'm glad to be here with you', i looked away and thought about Grayson. i really liked Grayson but me and Logan have history... was i really contemplating everything?

we all boarded the boat to go to the island. i sat next to Chloe and she told me all about whats been going on at school, plus a lot of gossip,

"guess who's pregnant!" she said as her eyes widened

i asked her who and she came closer..."Isla..." she said and then pursed her lips together in shock. i looked her and widened my eyes.."no!" really!" i said. i asked her who the dad was and she said that no one knew as it was from a drunken party.

Harper turned to me to stop the conversation and asked me when i was planning on telling Grayson i was over the other side of america with him. i shrugged and said that i was hoping the day before i leave. she told me to text him to see when he was getting back to LA. so i did,

me: hey, when do you get back to la x

Grayson replied almost instantly.

Grayson: hi and Sunday x

i knew i had to see him before he left because i want him to meet everyone, maybe not Logan though. we docked at the island and i looked up. i was astonished. lady liberty was so tall. she towered over me which was quite intimidating. we all got our tickets and went up to the top of the statue.

"wow...look at this view!" i said speaking to any who was near.

"i know... its gorgeous," a voice said,

i turned around to see Logan looking at me smirking. i shook my head and said that that wasn't what i meant and that i had a thing with another guy who he was going to meet in a few days. Logan looked down at the floor and apologised. i said it was ok and just for him not to try anything else at all. at around 6 pm, after a good day of exploring, we decided to go and get dinner. we ate at an amazing restaurant. i looked at my phone to check for any messages from anyone. i saw that i had a missed call from Grayson. i decided to call him back as i went to the bathroom.

"hey, i saw you called," i said when he picked up.

"hey! I've missed your voice soo bad..." he said which made me smile,

"I've missed yours too," i said still smiling.

"oh yeah... i was wondering what you wanted for your birthday..." he said out if the blue,

"how did you know it was my birthday?" i said shocked,

"umm... i have my ways..." he said in a teasing tone.

"Ethan wants to chat..." he said passing the phone to Ethan,"hey! A!" he said happily

"hey E..." i said happily as well, we talked for a while which went back and fourth between the three of us. Harper came in to check on me... she saw i was on the phone and left the bathroom.

"i have to go now... I'm so sorry but we'll chat another time." they both shouted bye through the phone which made me smile as i said bye one last time. i walked out of the bathroom to see that everyone was sitting there looking at me. i asked them what and sat back down. there turned out to me nothing so we paid for our meals and left. i decided later on to tell Grayson that i was in New York the day before my birthday as i wanted to spend that day with him.
