i woke up the morning i was due to fly over to New Jersey and i felt extremely nervous or the trip.
"we have to fly to NY and then go to Jersey from there," Grayson said as he walked in my hotel room,
"you guys are ready already?" i asked in disbelief,
"yeah, we like to get ready early or we'll never get up. but only when we're travelling," Ethan added on the end,
"that makes sense," i said agreeing with him,
"now get up. you have an hour," Grayson said as he ushered me out of bed,
"i'm up! i'm up!" i exclaimed as i locked the bathroom door and showered.
for my outfit, i shoved some sweatpants and a plain top. i shoved a hoodie into my carry on bag and then once all of the final things were packed away, we headed down to checkout and then left the hotel.
it was around 10am when we got to the airport and i texted my mum to say i was heading over to New Jersey and she wished me luck.
"the flight is at 1 so we have ages," Grayson said as we went through all of the security,
the three of us made our way to the flight lounge and for the whole 2 hours we were there, we didn't do much but the twins spent a lot of time messing around and talking to random strangers.
"Gray? do you have the speaker in there?" i asked him with a smile on my face.
"yeah..." he said skeptically,
"when we get on that plane, i dare you to play the song of my choice," i said with an evil grin.
"but you're not going to be anywhere near me," he said confused,
"i know but I'm going to be controlling the speaker from my phone," i said to him,
"dude! that is a great dare!" Ethan said as he high-fived me,
"jokes on you though, you're sitting next to him," i said laughing as his expression changed drastically,
"and one other thing," i added, "you cannot change the sound or turn off the speaker or you have a forfeit dare," i said seriously,
"okay, okay, i won't change anything," he said holding his hands up in defence,
"good luck," i added as soon as our gate was called,
"i hate you so much," he said jokingly,
"you love me though," i said grinning at him,
"true," he said as he nodded his head.
"try not to get told off either," i said as soon as he pulled the speaker out and we were boarding the plane.
as soon as i saw them walking off with Grayson holding the speaker, i put the volume up quite high and then pressed play. instantly, i cracked up as music poured through the plane.
Grayson turned around and looked at me wide eyed as the 'i'm too sexy' pounded out of the speaker. i walked down the other isle near then almost wetting myself from laughing.
i looked at the people around them who were horrified by the music and the volume they had it at.
the twins were turning extremely red and i couldn't help but feel a little but sorry for them.
as soon as the song finished, i saw Grayson stand up from his seat and send me a very red faced death glare to which i smiled cheerily and tuned to face the screen on the back of the seat.
the flight was pretty boring, i went over to see the twins about half way through,
"so, did you like my song choice?" i asked them with a grin on my face,
"some old lady," Ethan started and then burst into laughter, "some old lady nodded at us when we walked past and said 'you definitely are,'" he finished and then the three of us burst into laughter as i looked over at the old lady who definitely was a cougar.
the three of us talked for a bit more until there was some turbulence and i went back to my own seat at the other side of the plane.

"ready to go?" Grayson asked me as he wrapped an arm around my back,
"yeah," i said looking at him as i pulled my suitcase through to the outside,
"welcome to New Jersey," he said as the three of us walked to the car waiting for us,
"here's a warning, my sister will try and embarrass me so just ignore her." Grayson said and then ushered me to her Jeep that was a lot like mine.
"sister!" Grayson exclaimed and then hugged the two twins,
"you must be Ava, Grayson told me a lot about you when he calls," she said and then he elbowed her lightly,
"ignore her," he said repeating what he said earlier,
"so, where about in England are you from?" she asked as i got into the car after Grayson kindly put my stuff in the back of the car for me,
"not that she knows anywhere," Ethan muttered,
"dude! i'm just being nice," she defended and then i told her that i was from near London and i guess that was a fair enough response because she went on to ask me a few more questions,
"this is our house," Grayson said as his sister pulled into a huge terracotta coloured house with stone work and a double garage,
"whoa," i said to them, "is that your mums car?" i asked looked at the beetle,
"yeah," he said,
"it's so nice," i said admiring the car,
"shall we get in then? it's freezing out here," Ethan asked he looked around at the snow covering the floor and bushes,
"good idea," i said as i followed everyone in,
"the snow here is amazing," i said to Grayson as we walked up the pathway to the house,
"not when it lasts for ages," he said sighing at the thought of it,
"oh," i said with a small laugh,
"you're here!" a woman of my height exclaimed as we all walked thought the door,
she hugged everyone along the way and then when she came to me she held my shoulders and spoke,
"you must be Ava!" she said and then bear hugged me,
"you must me Mrs. Dolan," i said back to her returning the hug,
"please! call me Lisa!" she said and then broke the hug,
"your mum's nice," i whispered to Grayson,
"you'd be surprised," he said jokingly,
"this is my dad. dad, this is Ava," Grayson said as he introduced me to a tall man who was much taller than the twins.
"hey, welcome to christmas with the Dolan's," he said in a cheery tone,
"it's a pleasure to be here," i said with a smile,
"oh sweetie! come through, i need to show you pictures of baby Grayson!" his mother said and Grayson shook his head and widened his eyes,
"son, take her stuff upstairs," his dad directed him as his sister ushered me through to his mum.
i looked back at Grayson as he carried mine and his suitcase upstairs effortlessly.
god, i am lucky.
