Double Dolan {G.D.}

-2-

The Dolan twins!! They're actually looking at me. They're actually hovering over me. This can't be happening. I must've really hit my head. I sat up and wiped my eyes because my vision was a little blurry.

"Nice going Ethan. You ran into her," I heard one voice say.

"Shut up Grayson. I didn't mean to." I look up and see both their hands reaching down for mine. I reach out and grab them, as they pull me up off the dirty floor I was laying on. I look at Ethan and he begins talking.

"I'm so sorry—," he looks at me so I will tell him my name.

"Brayden."

"I'm so sorry Brayden. I wasn't looking where I was going and I totally didn't mean to run into you." I smiled at his words. They were so rushed and I could tell he was in a hurry.

"Oh, um, that's okay. I think I'll be fine. But I can tell you guys are in a hurry so you guys can go. I'll be fine!" They look at each other and then look back at me.

"Are you crazy?" I hear Grayson say.

Ethan chimes in too. "We're not going to leave you. Do we really look that mean?"

I wasn't sure if that was a rhetorical question, or if they actually wanted me to answer.

"To be honest, I know who you guys are and I'm guessing you are really busy, so I was just trying to be polite." They stood tall when I told them I knew who they were. They smiled too, which melted my heart.

"Well, in that case, a proper introduction seems nice. I'm Ethan and this is my brother Grayson. We're the Dolan twins."

I completely freaked out, but I tried to play it off cool. I cracked a smile and I tucked my head down so they couldn't see me blushing. I guess I got a little light headed because when I looked down, my head started to hurt and my vision got super blurry. I was about to fall until I grabbed on to Ethan's shoulder.

"Woah, you alright there?" Ethan said. Grayson helped him out and grabbed my other arm.

"Yeah, just a little dizzy from the fall I guess. Do any of you happen to have any water?" They both shook their heads. Great, how could this get any worse?

"Look, I think you might have a concussion. Your pupils are super dilated and I can tell your head hurts. Gray and I have a show tonight and I don't think being in a room with screaming girls and loud music would be the best place for you to go. I wanna take you to a doctor though since I am the one who knocked you down."

"No, that's okay. You guys are busy. I can just have my mom take me."

Ethan wouldn't give in. "Brayden, I'm taking you to the doctor. I want to make sure you're okay."

I nodded and let them take hold of my arms. They both held on to my arms as we walked to the checkout table. They had a couple confetti guns, which I could only assume was for the show. The lady behind the counter scanned their things and looked up at Grayson.

"Will this be everything?" She asked. Grayson hesitated and turned around. He grabbed my cape and my face paint.

"We're also gonna get this." He looked at me and smiled.

"Grayson, that's okay. You don't have to pay for me. I can come back another time and get it."

"I'm paying for it. It's the least we can do after this doof ran into you." He looked at Ethan and began laughing.
