Taken-Grayson and Ethan Dolan

Chapter 2

~Grayson~

  "Mom, the twins and I are going to New York City." She says happily. I'm so excited to do this.

  "Ok sweetie! I'll put some more money on your card after I get off the phone. Just don't drink or smoke and you'll be ok!" We all laughed and Gabby promised her mom and hung up.

  "OH BALLS! Guess what! THIS IS A THREE DAY WEEKEND!!! We can stay till Monday afternoon!!!" Ethan yells. This is gonna be great. Until we get back here. I hate it here. I wish we could just leave one day, not just for the weekend either.

  Ethan runs ahead of us and into the house. "Gray, is something wrong?" She asks sweetly. We are each others rocks. Always there for each other, never apart.

  "Yeah, I wanna leave here. I don't like school and being here makes me sad. I know it makes you sad too." I looked down at her arm. There are marks around her wrists.

  "Gray, I need to tell you something." She looks at me with worry in her eyes. "That Tony guy from earlier stopped me in the hall when I went to go pee. He said that I deserve better than y'all and that he's trying to help me get out of the 'situation' I'm in and then he pulled my wrist and he knows about me cutting myself." Tears well up in her eyes. SHHHHIIIIIITTTTTT! This isn't ok.

  "Umm it'll be alright." I lied. I don't lie to her ever. This is not good. She starts crying and we walk into her house to get her some clothes.
 
  "You're lying Gray. This isn't gonna be alright. If Ethan finds out then he'll get in another fight. He only has 2 chances before he gets expelled. And what if Tony is stalking me Gray?!?!" She opens her bedroom door and plops down on the bed.

  I grab her Adidas duffle bag off the shelf and start getting all her favorite outfits. "Well what if he isn't? Just breathe Gab. You'll be ok. Come help me pick out your outfits."

  She gets up and wiped her tears away.  "Shell Toes, White Roshes and High Top Vans. Adidas track suit. Ripped light jeans with that white tee. Black crop top and high rise shorts." She stuffed all those things in her bag and we went into the bathroom.
 
  Makeup time. This makes me stressed, all the different makeups. "Foundation, concealer, Primers, Naked palette, blush, contour, highlighter, Bretman lashes, mascara, eyeliner, lip kits, aaannndddd translucent powder. OH and my soft oval brushes." She stuffed all her things in the bag once again. She also grabbed her toothbrush, whitening pen and tooth paste.
 
  "Anything else?" I laugh. She nodded and disappeared back into her room. Well, I wasn't expecting that. I was just being sarcastic.

  "I need underwear and my bucket cap.  Duh." I came out of the bathroom and sat on her bed. I just shrug and pull out my phone.

  Messages: Ethan🤘🏻
       Hey bro! Where are you two?
      Me: At Gabby's house getting her clothes ready.
      Ethan: Ok I got you some clothes too.
     Me: 🙏🏼 see ya in a min. (Read 3:10pm)

  "Ethan is ready. Are you?" She nodded, zipping up her bag. We walked downstairs and went into the kitchen.

  "Snacks man! Apple juice and Cheetos!" She went in the cabinet and got the PARTY SIZE! Cheeto bag. I went in the fridge and grabbed the gallon of apple juice and we headed outside.

  "LETS GOOO!" Ethan exclaimed, closing the trunk after loading in all our stuff. Gabby and I sit in the back together because we can't dance next to Ethan when he drives cuz he'll get distracted.

  About an hour and a half after we left Gabby was already asleep. The views (by Drake😏😂) are beautiful. I'm not just talking about the scenery outside either, I'm talking about Gabby. She's curled up on the seats and her head is on my leg.

  "Bro, were almost there. Wake up Gabby." I shake her shoulder a little bit and she groans and sits up, rubbing her eyes. "Hey sleeping beauty! We're almost to the city! Check it out!" I look out of the windshield and see all the sky scrapers.

  "I can't see! Gray could you please hand me my glasses?" I grab her glasses and hand them to her. She's so precious. She does deserve to be friends with better people than us.

  "I CANT WAIT TO GO TO TIMES SQUARE!" Ethan shrilled like a little girl getting a new puppy.

  Time to hit the city. Let's make our mark this weekend.
