|Avery's pov|
6 months later, i know, let's cry together.

"So, this is it." I looked up at the two boys sadly, holding hands with my best friend that was hardly keeping it together.
"Don't say that. We have our tour, we'll come out and see you two soon." The boys pulled us into a group chat (omfg I'm gonna leave that mistake in because it made me laugh. I meant hug), Hayden and I breaking down as they did so.
"What does this mean for us?" The paranoid side of Hayden came out to play as she pulled away, looking up at Ethan with wide eyes.

"We can do long distance, right? I've already told the fans about you, it'd be pointless to dispose of you so quickly." He winked at her jokingly but she wasn't in the mood. She cried softly into his neck, he comforted her whilst Grayson turned to me.

"Don't you dare forget about me, okay?" He pointed a stern finger in my face, biting the end of his finger playfully I pulled him into a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you Gray." I mumbled into his shoulder, my fingers in his messy mop of hair.
"Me too, we still haven't replaced the mirror after you ran into it and smashed it. How will I be able to do my hair in the mornings and make sure I look sexy for all the girls?" I slapped his chest, pulling away from him.

"Firstly, thank you for caring. Running into that mirror hurt like hell. Secondly, you have about sixty other mirrors in that apartment of yours because you and Ethan love looking at yourselves so much so stop complaining. And lastly, say that again and I'll make you a shirt that says you're taken." He chuckled at me, pulling me into a kiss. Man am I gonna miss those.

"I love you Ave." I smiled up at him, not caring that I was blushing more than I had ever done in my lifetime. I knew he loved that he could make me blush and although I usually try to hide it I decided we might not see each other for a while, so might as well give him the satisfaction one last time.

"I'm nervous that when I get home things will be different," when he gave me a confused look I continued. "Since you guys told everyone, all your fans, what if we get mobbed. Or threatened like in all those fanfiction imagine things. Or what if our friends treat us differently, I can't be doing with that." My eyes widened and he laughed at me, pinching my cheeks.
"Ethan and I will be over in six months max, okay? We can still FaceTime. We'll work out a time that works. I'll miss you very much muffin top." I giggled at the nickname.

Hayden and I always got obsessive over having a muffin top, not in the way that we wanted one. In my personal opinion they're horrid. If you don't know what a muffin top is, it's basically a little blub of fat that sits on your lower stomach area and it wobbles when you run and it goes into rolls and its gross.
Oh, he also calls me that because once Ethan bought us all muffins and I only ate the top because, c'mon, that's the best part.

"I'll miss you too bup." I squeezed his cheeks, kissing his pouted lips before the intercom called for us and I wrapped my arms around him, clinging to him for dear life. "Think about it Ave, if you go home and finish university then you can come and live over here with me. We won't have to say goodbye like this."
"This isn't goodbye," I groaned, "why do I feel like I'm in some sappy love film." He laughed into my hair, kissing me all over my face when we pulled away.

"If you don't reply to me for a day max then I'm flying over, you've been warned." Pulling me in for one last kiss he pulled away, picking up my bags and handing them to me. "Have a safe flight babe." He smiled, making my insides melt and die at the same time. Tears sprung to my eyes as I jumped on him again.

Watching them walk away was one of the hardest things I'd ever had to do. I knew we'd see them again, obviously. But it was still incredibly difficult to watch them leave without being able to do anything to stop them.

We'd both grown so close to these two girls and they'd changed so more than they were aware of. For once we'd both found girls that changed us for good, brought out the good side of us. Not that we really have a bad side ;)

The ride home was silent, the only sound was the radio that was practically silent anyway. Both of us were lost in our own thoughts, Grayson undoubtedly thinking about Avery, as I was with Hayden.

Yes we're only eighteen, how do we know what love is right? We've only just been born. Blah blah blah. We don't need to know what love is to know that the feeling we have for these two girls is so strong that we'd do anything to see them again, anything to make sure they're happy and that they stay that way. If the feelings I get when even thinking about Hayden Stoney are not love then I have no idea how anyone could hurt someone they are 'in love with'.

"Hey dude," Grayson croaked, clearing his throat before continuing quietly, "when can we see them again?" He turned to look at me as we stopped at the red light.
"We're there for tour in like, what, two months." I shrugged, pulling out my phone to check the dates.
"That's too long." He grumbled, turning into the car park of our apartment building.
"I know but we'll see them. We just have to be patient. I just hope the fans don't get to them."
"Why do I get the feeling that this two months is going to be the longest of my life?"

Okay pia, my mouth guard freaking hurts. I'm getting braces anyway, I will know.

i know this is going to be a short story but I will have what happens in their futureeee ;)

Thanks for reading, love you alllllllll.

My birthday is in two months and 14 days (19th September) do I have a birthday twin?
