thirty eight

I woke up pretty late the next morning, just laying in bed with a sleepy Grayson next to me. His head rests on my chest as he holds my body while I play with his hair. Soft snores leave his lips every so often.

I stare at my ceiling just thinking like I always do. Today I am sixteen. The thought is crazy really because it feels like yesterday I started my first day of pre school. One of the biggest things I have learned the past sixteen years, is that it is okay to love yourself. I think of this every time i feel low about myself.

Grayson stirs and his phone rings on the bedside table. Memories of our first argument last night comes flooding back. I couldn't help but think it is Payton. I know Grayson doesn't
text her but the thought of her even trying to get with Grayson or ruin what we have makes me sick.

I scroll on twitter and reply to some of Grayson and Ethan's fans who have wished me a happy birthday. A lot of them freaked out which I found cute; I'm no one special.

I scroll through Instagram and my mentions. I got Happy Birthday's from close people and even edits from fan accounts of the twins. I truly felt loved despite all the crap I have been through the past week.

Someone made a funny video of Grayson and me, which had me dying laughing. I laughed so much I ended up waking him. He groans and rolls over to the other side of the bed and mumbles something.

"Huh?" I ask.

"What are you laughing at?" He asks.

"Some video one of your fans made of us. It's quite hilarious." I smile. He nods his head and hums with his eyes closed, his body facing the ceiling.

For a couple of more minutes I just scroll through social media and text a few people.

"Happy birthday, princess." Grayson mumbles in a soft voice, rolling over and squeezing my body while placing kisses all over me. I squeal as he begins to tickle me.

"Thank you." I smile. We lay there for a couple of more minutes until he begged me to go get ready.

"Why are you rushing me? Do I stink or look bad?" I frown. He lets out a laugh and cups
my face between his hands and places a kiss on my forehead.

"Absolutely not, you are beautiful. I have a surprise and you have to go get ready. God you're so cute." He says. I roll my eyes and laugh a little myself before I make my way into the bathroom.

I walk out of the bathroom in a robe and into my room. Grayson had on a pair of black skinny jeans with holes in the knees and no shirt. He had a shirt in hand and turned to me as he heard me open the door.

"Wow wow wow, I'm changing in here." He jokingly says, trying to push me out of my own room.

"I need to get clothes, stupid." I say pinching his stomach. He falls over and I walk around him and into my closet.

I shut the door behind me and grab out a sweater, some black jeans, booties, and a rope choker. I put on my outfit before leaving the closet with my hair now wrapped in a towel.
I do my make up very simple today before blow drying my hair and allowing it to fall loose in it's natural waves. I run my hands through it before putting on perfume and deodorant.
