No Twins Next Door

Chapter 5

Mia woke up to a pounding headache. She groaned as she sat up in bed. Looking at the time, she tried to wake herself up. As she was getting out of bed, she heard a loud knock on her apartment door. The knocking was really loud in her head.

Mia held her head in pain as she stumbled to the door. She opened the door and looked at whoever was there. She was leaning against the door frame for support since she was extremely tired.

"Hey, is this a good time?"

Mia looked at Ethan and Grayson with a frown. "What are you doing here so early?! It's 1pm! Don't you have anything better to do?!" Mia asked as she rubbed her temple, trying to remove her head ache.

"Has someone got a hangover?" Ethan asked.

Mia rolled her eyes and sighed. "I may have had a little too much to drink. And I may have gotten high last night. But who cares? I can do whatever I want!" She explained to them in a whisper.

They chuckled at her. "Are you going to let us in?" Grayson asked. Mia sighed and walked into her apartment, leaving the door open. She heard the boys enter and close the door behind her. "Where's Lexi?" Grayson asked.

"Asleep," Mia replied. "I wish I was".

Ethan and Grayson sat on the couch while Mia took a glass of water with a tablet to heal her headache. She joined them in the living room and sat down in the single chair. "What are you doing here?" She asked again.

"We wanted to hang out with an old friend," Ethan explained. "We miss you. We haven't seen you in four years. We miss all the times we spent together. We miss you, Mia".

"People change, Ethan. I'm not the girl you knew four years ago. I've changed, for the better. I'm a new me," she stated. "The girl you were friends with four years ago, she's gone. And she's never coming back".

Mia stood up to go back to bed when Grayson grabbed her wrist. "Mia! Wait! Can we at least go get a coffee today? Just to catch up? You said you've changed since the last time we met. I want to know the new you".

Mia breathed in before agreeing to get coffee. "Let me get ready and then we can go to Starbucks or something," she said, walking to her bedroom. Grayson turned to Ethan with a smile on his face and his cheeks slightly red.

"I still have a chance," he whispered to Ethan.

After a few minutes, Mia returned and led them out her apartment. She made sure to leave a note for Lexi so she wouldn't be worried when she wakes up to an empty apartment. Ethan, Grayson and Mia were walking to Starbucks when a couple girls stopped them and began to fangirl over the Dolans.

Mia sighed as she began to walk away from the loudness of the girls. She didn't bother looking back at them. She walked to Starbucks alone and began to order her drink. Her drink was done and the twins still hadn't arrived at the coffee shop.

Tired, Mia sat down at an empty table and waited for the boys to meet her. A few minutes had past and they were entering the shop. They smiled when they saw her and walked to the counter to order their drinks.

Grayson joined Mia at the table while Ethan waited for their drinks. He smiled at her, but it disappeared when he saw her looking at him with an annoyed expression. "So..." he said awkwardly. "How have you been?"

Mia shook her head. "You're still super awkward," she stated.

Ethan joined them and placed a drink in front of Grayson. "Did I miss anything?" He asked. Mia shook her head and drank more of her hot coffee in her hand. "So," Ethan started. "How have you been?" He asked.
