I was suddenly awoken by the notification sounding from my phone. I groaned as I turned over and grabbed it from off of the unstable bed-side table. I turn on my phone and the light immediately illuminated my room, blinding me for a split second. I winced before I opened my phone and opened up Snapchat to check my notification.

Shorty after I opened Instagram to refresh my feed. I was alarmed by the unopened direct message waiting for me. I slid my finger across my screen to divulge the message. "Ethan Dolan." I gasped as I realized what was going on.

I won the contest. I get to go to the Dolan Twins' Warehouse for a week!

I read the message, excitement bolting through my veins, which said where the warehouse was and the ticket I would be taking to get there.

I perked up from my bed and rushed into my brother's room. I knocked on the door maybe 15 times because I was too excited to control myself.

He swung the door open with a sigh of annoyance and shook his head. "What?!" His voice lifted indicating that he was upset.

"I won!" I screeched, barely stable enough to stand.

"Won what?" He said before yawning.

"I won the contest! I get to go to the Dolan Twins' Warehouse for a week!" I smiled widely.

"Good for you," my brother slammed the door in my face.

I immediately opened the door right back up, "Come on, Seth! You're the only person that can drive me. I have to have a guardian over 21 years old with me. Plus when will I ever be able to experience something like this again?!" I sat on the side of his bed where he was laying.

"Ugh, alright. I'll bring you," he rolled his eyes.

I jumped off of his bed happily, "Thank you so much!" I ran out of the room and grabbed a suit case from our hall closet.

Our parents were charged with abuse and neglect of their children three years ago. The abuse and neglect was obviously towards me and my brother. At the time, my brother was on his way to college. We took the money that the government gave us, because my brother was of age to be my legal guardian, and we moved to a house near his soon-to-be college. There was a high school near by that I would attend until I was old enough to move into my own home. So now, my 22-year-old brother and his 16-year-old sister live in a small home together until the government gives us the right to live on our own. Honestly, I wouldn't mind living with my brother for the rest of our lives. He's my favorite person in the world. He cares about me. He understands me. He helps me. He makes me happy. He's literally the most amazing brother anyone could ask for. We never get into fights either. Yeah, we can be a bitch to each other like this morning, but we love each other to death.

At this point, I was finished with packing my clothes. I pounded on Seth's door and told him to pack his clothes before running downstairs, suitcases in hand, to stuff the car and get ready to leave. I put my two suitcases into the back of Seth's Mitsubishi and pulled out my phone to text all of my friends.

I don't know how long I sat outside texting my friends before I checked the time. 9:25am.

Oh, my God! The plane leaves at 11:00!

I ran inside to tell Seth to hurry up and we quickly ran out of the house and drove to the airport.

10:30am

The plane began boarding and surprisingly our flight wasn't delayed. Me and Seth got seats next to each other and I waited anxiously for the plane to take off.

Minutes and minutes passed before the flight attendant began to speak the safety announcement. I was too excited to even understand what she was saying. Before we knew it, the plane was taking off.

Once it was allowed, I pulled out my phone and kept reading the message Ethan had sent me over and over again. Just to think that he typed those words out himself. He looked at my account. He knows what I look like. He's waiting for me at his warehouse. Just me.

For once in my life, I felt wanted, I felt special, I felt involved. I knew that in days time, I'd be getting angry fan notifications because they didn't win. I was prepared for those messages, but at the same time, I wasn't. I knew what to expect, but I didn't know the extent of it.

I sat and pondered on what type of messages I would be getting from jealous fans until the plane landed.

I didn't even realize the plane was close to landing, but once I did, I perked out of my seat and pulled Seth out of the plane as fast as I could.

More and more excitement filled my body as we got closer and closer to the twins. We grabbed our luggage and met a car in the front driven by a man who would bring us to the warehouse.

We finally arrived at the warehouse and at this point it was 6:45pm, although, I was too excited to check at the moment.

I grabbed Seth's arm as we ran up to the door and the man unlocked the door to let us in.
