"Have fun!" I yelled hugging my mother, she was going on her honeymoon leaving all of us here alone. Don't think that's a good choice...

We all gave hugs before they left to the airport. We all crowded in the lounge room, it's really awkward considering Shawn was here for some odd reason. I was cuddled between Ethan's arm.

He's been lowering his anger slowly. "So should we go to the beach?" Taylor suggested. "Nah let's just throw a party cause you guys are leaving tomorrow." Nash said. All the boys were leaving except for Ethan and Grayson. 

"Go invite people." Hayes said throwing Nash his phone. Everyone nodded. Gilinsky, Johnson and Taylor went shopping for drinks, Carter, Matt, Shawn and Aaron went to buy the food. We were just really scattered it was funny.

"So we're setting up the area, GO CLEAN!" Hayes yelled laughing while pushing us. I laughed and untangled myself from Ethan's arms. I went upstairs and closed all the door except the spare bathroom. I walked back down and saw that everything was clean, already?! I was there for 2 minutes closing doors.

I heard faint humming in the kitchen which I obviously followed, Grayson. "RAWR!" I yelled shoving Grayson lightly. He yelped, a high pitch scream escaping his mouth. "Dang GIRL!" I laughed exaggerating the word girl. He laughed and placed his hand on his heart. "You little bitch!" He said nudging my shoulder. I gaped in shock, obviously joking. "Ahem, that should be you!" I coughed out laughing. He whined.

"Kidding bup." I laughed hugging him. He smiled and continued to finish the cleaning. I leaned against my kitchen table. I felt a pair of hands on the side of my hips. I knew straight away that it was Ethan, the shape of his hand I can easily remember and his placement, he places his thumbs at my bone area and his others fingers slightly digging into the fleshy area. I smiled over and turned to face him, I was expecting a happy, gentle look but his eyes were full of anger.

"Tell me you don't like Grayson" He said through gritted teeth. I sighed and looked at him, "he's my best friend Ethan..." I smiled. "Don't worry." I laughed and he nodded still jaw clenched. I caressed his cheek trying to sooth and ease his muscles. "Come on a date with me tonight?" He asked. "There's a party." I laughed. "So what, ditch it!" He smiled and I nodded. "Sure."

"Be ready in 10 minutes and we'll leave." He said and I nodded heading upstairs. I quickly showered and changed into light washed boyfriend jeans and a plain white cropped tee. I wore my converse and brought a flannel just incase. I left my hair in a ponytail and walked down.

"Hayes I won't be here for the party." I said and he nodded. "Where are you going?" He asked. "Date with Ethan" I smiled. He laughed, "oooOooooOO" He teased making me slap his shoulder. "Be back before 12, I need to talk to you privately." He said and I nodded. I made my way to the front door and opened it, I saw Ethan showered and dressed. I nodded my head in approval.

I intertwined my hands in his as we just walked because why not. "Beach." He said and I nodded laughing, wearing the right clothes for sure...

I entered the house and loud music was instantly heard, the smell of alcohol was dreadful. I almost gagged in memory of when I drank. I walked over to the kitchen with Ethan behind me. I felt a body tumble on top of me. I turned around seeing Grayson wasted to the max. His eyes were barely opened and his mouth hung letting randoms words escape from his lips.

"Man bad choice." I said pushing him off of me. Ethan laughed and carried him. "He can sleep in my room." I said, Ethan's eyebrow cocked. I should tell him, but I'm scared. He could lash at me and start screaming because I lied to him. "My room for this house, you know, second bedroom" I explained fiddling with my fingers. He nodded and walked up.
