"Wow, you really haven't had it easy..... have you?" Asked Grayson. "Well not really but i'm always thankful for the moments and memories I have." Answered Laila "But tell me about you honestly." she continued. "Well there's not too much, my full name is Grayson Bailey Dolan. I have a twin brother as you know his name's Ethan Grant Dolan. We have a big sister Cameron. She's in college and only comes home for our birthday and holidays. I like to sit on the roof and do my homework, relax, look at clouds and stars. There's not much, I did do online school and I was big on vine, but I just now do youtube and want to go into filmmaking. I lived in LA for a while but moved back to New Jersey. Yeah that's about it." He answered.

"Well i'm glad you moved back to New Jersey, because if you didn't we wouldn't be here today." Laila said. As grayson looked down and smiled and almost kissed her, his brother Ethan called him. He answered and before Grayson could say Hello Ethan started yelling "GRAYSON YOU AND LAILA NEED TO COME HOME NOW!!!! THERE'S A HURRICANE COMING GET HOME RIGHT NOW!!!!! MOM AND DAD ARE WITH ME AND CAMERON IS SAVE HU..." and it cut out.

Grayson looks over at Laila with wide eyes and the wind starts getting stronger and faster. "We need to get out of here now, there's a hurricane coming and we need to get to my house fast! Get in the truck we need to go, call your mom!" He said as Laila got into the car, she pulled out her phone and called her Mom.

"Mmmooooommmm"

"It's okay honey, everyone is safe here. Stay with Grayson and STAY SAFE!"

"Do you have food, water, flashlight, sweatshirts, blankets, everything?"

"Yes and I talked to Mrs.Dolan and you need to get over there fast, they're waiting for you."

"Were just walking in the house. I love you mom stay sa.." and it cut out again.

They walked in and Grayson took off Laila's coat and she had tears in her eyes.

"Hey what's wrong beautiful?"

"I'm just scared, not for me but for my little siblings."

"Why?"

"It's their first BIG storm and sure it's mine to and i'm scared for me too but..."

"Look it's going to be okay, you're gonna be fine, they'll be fine."

He raps her in his arms and just holds her there and then *CLICK* the lights were out....... And it was all black.
