Ethan parked his car on a slope, which faced the Hollywood sign. Palm trees surrounding us everywhere, and pedestrians walking in summer wear. Every day in LA was summer.

Ethan unbuckled his seatbelt and looked at me. I faced towards him a second later, asking where we're going, unbuckling my seatbelt.

"How does a hike sound to you?" Ethan smirked, raising an eyebrow at me. Now I know what we're doing. We're hiking to the Hollywood sign. That was such a typical thing to do for tourists.

We were only a mile away from the sign when our conversation got heated. The thing Grayson was trying to pry out of Ethan for awhile, was about to come out.

"Dude! Just say it already." Grayson insisted, punching Ethan in the arm, leaving a red mark. Ethan howled in pain. "Come on, it isn't that bad!"

"Fine!" Ethan argued, rubbing his arm where Grayson hit him. "I'm really into your sister."

I gasped, in complete sarcastic shock. I could tell Ethan liked Morgan, and I could tell Morgan wanted to like him but couldn't. She was clearly afraid of him hurting her like her ex did.

"I knew I'd get it out of you!" Grayson chuckled, throwing his head back lightly at Ethan's remark on his feelings for Morgan. I found it cute. "How does Morgan feel about him?"

I shrug, not knowing what to say. I could read people easily, but Morgan was hard to tell. She sure liked Ethan, but her mind was telling her no. Some of her are telling her it's right, but some are telling her she can't trust anyone, anymore for the rest of her life.

"Morgan and I didn't talk much since the last we saw you guys. Also, she's my cousin," I began on a negative note, making Ethan hang his head low, "But I can tell she likes you."

Ethan was looking a little happy now, and I could tell Grayson was hiding something too. He wasn't talking that much to me except for the beginning of the ride.

"Grayson? Is there something on your mind?" I ask, looking at his hazel brown eyes. "You seem to be a little quiet."

"He does have something on his mind," Ethan bugged, rubbing his hand in Grayson's hair. "Why don't you tell her, Gray?"

"He'll say it when he's ready Ethan, don't push it." I sigh, continuing to walk forward. I look behind me and see Grayson smile at me, appreciating my sympathy.

I never told anyone anything until I fully trusted them, so I would wait for Grayson to say what he had to say.

I opened the door to my house, it was 11 pm now and I just spent the past 3 hours at the Dolan's house. We played some video games, and I watched a few of their videos while they picked up the pizza. Their videos were hilarious, I was crying. I was focusing on Grayson the whole time, wondering what he had to say.

I took off my shoes and brought them up to my room, removing all of my clothes and putting on a Led Zeppelin shirt-dress for bed. I turned on my phone and downloaded youtube, so I could creepily watch their videos.

I felt embarrassed watching each one, but I thought they would appreciate me supporting them.

It was 12 am now, and I was still wide awake and finishing a video they made this week. I was about to fall asleep, though I wasn't tired, but being interrupted by a text message from Grayson, personally.

Grayson: Hey Jenna.

Jenna: Hi Grayson. What are you doing up so late?

Grayson: Checking up on you. How are you doing?

Jenna: Thanks for asking, I'm doing fine since the last time we spoke.

Grayson: There's another reason I'm texting you Jen.

I was sure feeling butterflies form in my stomach now.

Jenna: Yes?

Grayson: You know how Ethan was asking me to say something?

Jenna: Yes.

Grayson: Well...

I'm freaking out. What's he going to say?
