The One [ 4OU TOUR ] | Ethan Dolan

T W O

Loren was screaming at the top of her lungs before I made it down the long hardwood hallway leading into the kitchen.

I walked in to find my cousin launched into my uncles arms emotionally crying and screaming with happy tears. This could mean one thing. The Dolan twins were evolved.

" I can't believe you got me VIP tickets!" Loren squealed before launching into my aunts arms as well. "You guys are the best"

She sprinted down the hallway and up the stairs, yelling something about face timing her friends to tell them the good news.

I shrugged and carried on into the kitchen, opening the fridge and grabbing an apple. I was at the sink, carefully washing it and peeling off the sticker when my aunt handed me a piece of a paper.

"Aunt Rene, I'm sorry but you didn't need to spend that crazy amount of money on me, I'm not that interested in them" I say, staring down at a second ticket.

"I know but I was hoping if you weren't doing anything this weekend, you could come with the whole family down to New York. I know it's not far away but we booked a really nice hotel for a few nights and are sorta going to turn it into a mini vacation. But I wanted to ask you if you wouldn't mind going to the show with Lo, I mean she would much rather have her cool 16 year old cousin there then her embarrassing mom"

"Oh ya sure, sounds fun" I said sceptically, placing the piece of paper down on the counter before heading to the couch with my snack.

---------------------

Before I even had time to change my mind, we were pulling up in front of a super fancy hotel just outside of Huntington, New York, where the show was happening.

I looked like a wreck. My hair was messily tied up in a bun, and I was wearing no makeup, exposing to everyone just how tired I actually was.

I toddled through the lobby with my small carry on bag, and followed Aunt Rene to the room. After dropping our bags off and getting ready, we all went out for a nice dinner.

I had a huge food baby, so I was beginning to think wearing a tight fitted dress was not the best idea. I struggled with my heels through the lobby, causing me to fall behind the group.

I saw two girls, maybe slightly younger than me, wearing pink baseball hats, sitting on the lobby couches with binoculars. I was super curious as to why they were staring at something across the courtyard until I heard part of their conversation.

"Can you believe we manage to book the same hotel as them?" the taller one said.

"No, we're so lucky! Now we just have to find where they are hiding" the other one giggled before smirking at her friend, and putting her face back to her binoculars.

I made an educated guess to say they were talking about the twins. It made perfect sense. I decided right there that I wouldn't tell Loren that the twins were in such close proximity to her, in hopes she wouldn't turn into another one of them.

Boundaries. I get it. You like them. But that's boarder line stalker tendencies.

It was super late, so by the time I got back to the room, everyone was getting ready for bed. I decided to join and it wasn't long before I was embraced by the comfy hotel bed and drifted off the sleep.

---------------------

I woke up sweaty, with my heart beating fast.

Another nightmare.

I turned slightly squinting at the clock. 4 am.

I knew I wasn't going to fall back asleep after that dream, so I quietly got out of bed and slipped on some Birkenstocks before grabbing a few dollars off the table and looking for some food. I was really hungry.

I went on a small detour, exploring for while. I discovered that the hotel had a gym, a pool, a business area, a restaurant and a restricted floor right above us.

I returned to the 10the floor after multiple attempts of trying to break onto the 11th floor just for fun. I found a small room that contained a coke machine, a ice maker and a vending machine. Bingo.

I happily fed the money into the machine analyzing my options. I decided to go with a kit kat and a bottle of water. As I was leaning over, pulling my snacks out from the bottom, I heard the door open and something knock me towards the machine.

I lunged forward whacking my forehead off the glass but catching myself before it got worse.

"Fuck" I whispered to myself as I rubbed my forehead and stood up straight.

I was about to leave when I heard a movement from behind me. I whipped my head around to see a tall figure standing towards the back of the room.

"Well at least I know it was an asshole who caused this goose egg on my forehead and not my own clumsiness" I say, trying to get a clear look at his face around the hood.

"A sorry would have been nice, you scared the shit of me by just standing there and not saying anything" I say, stepping forwards towards him.

"Please don't scream" he whispered, lowering his hood. I saw a chiseled jawline, with plump lips, as my eyes traced my way up his face before making eye contact with his beautiful brown/hazel eyes.

Damn. I knew exactly who this was.

"Ok, first of all, why are we whispering and second of all, why would I scream?" I whispered back

"What? Is the ice machine suddenly terrifying and is gonna try and kill me?" I say sarcastically at a normal volume this time.

"I'm sorry, you're right" he laughed, exposing a perfect smile. "I was just not expecting anyone to be roaming the halls at 4 in the morning"

"Yeah" i say, followed by my famous sarcastic smirk, "me neither"

"My vending machine on the floor above broke, so I had to come here to get snacks for me and my brother" he said, scratching the back of his neck.

I took this time to admire him. He was wearing a grey fitted sweater, with black adidas joggers and a maroon coloured beanie. (Pictured above)

This was for sure one of the twins. But I was ashamed to admit to Loren I didn't know which one.

"Well I shouldn't keep you from your adventure" I say shuffling backwards towards the door

"besides my kit kat looks a little lonely" I smile, holding it up, before swinging the door open.

"Wait!" he says quickly running after me.

" I'm Ethan.... I never got your name" he said

"That's cause I didn't give it to you" I snark back with a cheeky smile before walking down the hallway towards my room and not looking back.

He was famous. I wasn't going to fall for the games he probably plays with a million different girls. I'm a lot smarter than that.
