-Three Months Later-

"Move on" they said. "There's plenty of other fish in the sea." they said. "Take it one day at a time." they said. "Let time heal the pain" they said. Yet I still lay here in my bed, staring up at the ceiling of my bedroom, wishing I could just rewind time and somehow fix our relationship. I heard my phone ring and I picked it up to see my best friend Willow calling me. I answered it saying a monotone "hello."

"Hey fam!" she said in a cheerful tone. "What do you think about grabbing drink at Starbucks with me?"

"ehhh" I said, feeling unsure. 

"Cmon it's just coffee, it's not like I'm setting you up on a blind date or anything." she said, giggling.

"Like last time?" I asked her, referring to the time she set me up with some random guy named Chris two weeks ago.

"Oh.... yea... that didn't end as expected." She said. 

"He stole my purse!" I said. 

"yea...." she said awkwardly. "Anyways today is just coffee." She said, "wanna come?"

"Do I have a choice?" I asked her, knowing the answer.

"Nope, pick you up in 25." She said, and I mouthed along with it because I knew she was going to say that. She ended the call quickly before I could say anything causing me to groan and roll out of bed.

Willow and I walked into Starbucks and waited in line to order. "What about that guy there?" She said as she pointed to my left. I looked over and rolled my eyes. "Not my type, plus he looks like he's mid-thirties." I said. 

"No I mean the boy sitting at the table behind him." She spoke. I looked and saw boy who looked around my age, with brown hair and brown eyes talking to a guy who looked exactly like him."eh, he's alright." I spoke.

"There's two of them" Willow pointed out that they were twins. 

"I see that Willow." I said. 

"Will you talk to them with me if I buy you a coffee?" She said. I looked at her and she gave me the puppy dog eyes. I sighed then said, "Fineeee." giving in. 

"I can help whoever's next." I heard a firm low voice. Willow and I walked up to the cash register and I looked at the tall brown haired boy behind the register. I looked at his name tag; Shawn. "What can I get you?" he asked us, staring at me. "Um can I get a vientie cotton candy frappe, no whipped cream." Willow ordered. 

"And can I have a vientie white chocolate mocha frappe." I said. Willow paid with her star backs card and Shawn handed me the recipt. I looked at him confused and he just moved onto the next customer saying, "I can help whoever's next" I looked down at the recipe and saw a number written on it. I looked back up at him and he winked at me, causing me to blush. I put the receipt in my back pocket before Willow and I grabbed our drinks and then Willow dragged me to the twins by the windows. "Hello." the one with an earring said. 

"Hello, are these seats taken?" Willow asked gesturing to the seats right next to them by the table. The boys shook their head and we sat down, Willow sitting next to the one with an earring. "I'm Willow and this is my friend Penelope." She spoke. 

"I'm Grayson." the one with the earring said, putting his arm on the back of Willow's seat, smirking ever so slightly. 

"I'm Ethan." The twin right beside me said, smiling wide towards me. As we all talked, getting to know each other more, I continued to look over my shoulder and look at the boy behind the counter to see what he was doing and sometimes I even caught him already staring at me, causing me to blush.
