Ethan's P.O.V.

I park my car in front of the house and we go in.Cam hugs Avery like she didn't see her just yesterday,Grayson isn't probably at home because I can't see him anywhere near.

'Where's Grayson?'I ask Cameron and she points upstairs,so he's in his bedroom.

'I'll be right back.'I tell the girls and rush upstairs.

'He's sleeping you idiot!Don't wake him up.'Cameron yells but I ignore and open his door without knocking,he's not sleeping.He has laptop on his lap and is listeting to something.

'Bro what are you doing?'I ask and sit next to him.

'I'm making a playlist,what's wrong?'
'Nothing,just Avery's back home.'I tell him.

'Oh is she here?'He asks and I nod,he turns off the laptop and we go downstairs.

'Mom and dad are coming tonight.'Grayson tells me when we go down.

'What?'I ask confused.

'Lisa and Sean Ethan,they're visitng us for the weekend.Why are you so surprised?'Grayson furrows his brows.

'Why are they visiting us?'I ask him again.

'What's wrong with you for fuck's sake!'He laughs and punches my arm playfully.

'What's the matter with parents visiting their children in another country?'I hear Cameron.

'Well nothing,it's just we're not kids and..Why am I just hearing about it?I bet you already knew two weeks ago!'I raise my voice,Avery looks confused.

'What do you mean?'Cameron smiles.

'I told you a week ago remember?'Grayson asks as if I were a god damned five year old kid.

'What's this all about?'Avery asks and looks at the three of us.

'I'll explain,but first let's drink something.'Grayson takes her arm and they go in the kitchen.

'I don't remember him telling me that they were about to visit.'I say loudly.

'Blame it to your memory Ethan and if you remembered anyway what would you do?'She laughs.

'I don't know.'I shrug and avoid her gaze.

'Well then you and I are going to meet them at the airport.'

'Take Grayson with you,I can't leave Avery.'I groan.

'Why?'She laughs.

'Because..I can't.'

'She stays with Grayson and you are coming with me,stop being an asshole!What's wrong with you today?'

'What if Grayson tells her why she did what she did?!'I quietly whisper-yell,Cameron raises her brows.

'Wait you..You haven't told her?'

'No..I mean..I told her it was an accident,how bad is it?'

'Are you fucking nuts?Why would you lie to her?'She whispers.

'Because..the truth isn't always easy to tell.'I say quietly.

'The truth may piss her if at first , but it will set her free.'She says and takes my car keys.

'Now you coming?'She asks and I nod.
'We'll be back very soon.'Cameron yells and we go out.

'I'm driving by the way.'Cameron says and takes the driver's seat.

Avery's P.O.V.

'So should I be worried that they are visiting?'I ask Grayson smiling when Cam and Ethan are gone.
