Glow Up ~ Dolan Twins

chapter 6

Grayson's POV

Friday

I walked to my car thinking about Andrea, what I'd said her, it's all I've thought about since Monday. I was also wondering what she was going to say. It's taken me this long to finally admit my feelings for her. I can't believe I ever got to a time where I actually enjoyed hurting her. I'm going to tell Ethan to leave her alone form now on, I don't want to hurt her anymore.

"Eth-than p-please... don't d-do this" I heard a faint, yet recognizable voice say from around the corner. Andrea. She's crying. He's hurting her.

"Why not?" Ethan said.

I ran around the corner to see Ethan. His fist, inches away from her face and his other tightly gripping her jacket. My breath hitched at the sight. I looked away then shook my head. I ran toward Ethan shoving him off her. He fell to the ground and Andrea instantly ran behind me.

"Bro, what the fuck?!" He yelled.

"Leave her alone, okay? We can't do this anymore!!" I yelled back. Andrea's sobs slowly became more and more quiet. I turned to face her.

"Your okay now. We won't hurt you anymore, I promise" I said.

Andrea's POV

What are the odds that he keeps his promise? I know I forgave him but, I'm not sure if I should trust him or not. I smiled at him.

"So what were you going to say to me before the bell rang?" He asked.

I swallowed hard. Should I tell him? "I was um... gonna say I.. I love you too" I said it. He smiled brightly and hugged me. I hugged him back because it just felt right. We walked out to the parking lot and went to his car.

"Do you want a ride home?" He asked.

"Sure." I responded. He smiled and opened the door for me then went to the drivers seat.

Once we got to my house, we both got out of the car. He walked me to my front door.

"Do you maybe, want to come in?" I asked.

"Sure." He said.

We walked into the house and I saw a note from my mom stuck on the mirror.

Your father and I are going to NYC for the weekend! I left the ingredients to your juice on the fridge. I also did some laundry before we left. Love you lots sweetie! Have fun! But not too much fun. No funny business! XO - Mom

"So my parents are in New York for the weekend..." I said.

"Oh cool. So you have this place all to yourself?" He questioned.

"Yeah I guess."

"You should throw a party!" He said enthusiastically.

"uhh I don't think that's a good idea..."

"Sure it is! You'll make new friends, have a good time, let off stress... it'll be great!" He said

"That does sound pretty great... okay deal!" I said. I need to loosen up, enjoy myself what's the worst that could happen. Since it was only 4 we decided to go to the mall. I went to Forever 21 and bought the perfect outfit to wear to the party. (see above) I met up with Grayson again at the food court where we got some pineapple pizza. We talked until it was 5:30 that's when we went back home.

We got back and Grayson sent a text bomb to all the seniors.

Party @ 8:00 B there! It's gon b lit! 7498 Joshua St!

After he sent the message we grabbed all the valuables and locked them in my bedroom. Gray called one of his friends and told him to bring alcohol. We set up red cups and alcohol on a table and snacks on another. Grayson then connected his phone to my speakers and started his party playlist. I checked the time, 7:53. there was a knock on the door.

"already?!" I asked. Grayson opened the door and there stood Grayson's friends.

"Andrea, this is Hayes, Nash, Cameron, Ryan and, you know Ethan. Just thought I'd introduce you." Grayson said. I then received a bunch of Heys and Sups.

"Nice place" Hayes said.

"It won't be tomorrow" I said with a nervous chuckle.

The boys laughed. "We'll help you tidy up" Cameron said.

"Thanks but you don't have to.." I said.

"Please, we insist" Cameron said.

"Okay, thank you" I gave in.

At around 8:20 was when a lot of people started showing up, instantly helping themselves to the ton of alcohol Grayson's friend brought. I went up to the table nervously and started greeting everyone and introducing myself. Grayson introduced me to a bunch of people too and brought me a drink. I still didn't trust him 100% so i refused to drink the beverage he'd brought me and got my own. The music blasted while people were grinding on eachother. Pouring alcohol on eachother and getting completely wasted. I stood awkwardly with my back against a wall, not talking or having any interaction with people. Then, Grayson grabbed my hand and pulled me out to the dance floor.

"Let loose, have fun, dance, drink. Be a normal teenager! I'll be back with more drinks." He said.

I nodded and chugged the untouched vodka in my cup. It burned my throat as it went down. I then went to the center of the dance floor and danced. I danced like nobody was watching. Grayson came back with our cups.

"Whats in it?" I asked.

"Rum and coke" He said.

I smirked at him as I downed the strong beverage. It burned ferociously as it trickled harshly down my throat. I coughed lightly then smiled. I started jumping around and pumping my fists, whipping my hair around vigorously. I cheered loudly and laughed as Grayson started doing the same. I went out to the drink table and grabbed random people to do shots with. Cameron, Ryan, Ethan, a girl named Avalon, and Kim all joined me at the counter for shots. I poured tequila into our shot glasses and we began to count down.

"3...2...1!" we shouted then quickly swallowed the tequila. We did this 5 times before I got this sudden courage to approach Grayson. I walked up to him bravely and grabbed his face. I valiantly kissed him. He kissed me back as he pressed up against a wall. Things slowly started to get blurry. We made out and laughed. The last thing I remember is pulling him into a seperate room...

I sat up quickly, breathing heavily. I have the worst head ache right now, like, you don't even know. I look down and... I'm in my pajamas. I get out of bed and walk downstairs. The house is clean? Oh thank goodness it was all just a dream. I saw a note on the counter.

The boys and I cleaned up for you just like we promised. We're at McDonalds right now buying breakfast. I set out some advil for you. You had a pretty crazy night. Don't make too much noise cause Ethan's still asleep. We made enough noise last night ;) See you soon
