Illusion

Chapter: 1

*FLASHBACK*

"You ready Ashlea?" My aunt Violet called.

"Yup!" I answered. I finished off getting ready by spritzing some perfume on myself and I was ready to go.

I was down in Jordan for the weekend, staying with my aunt and her boyfriend. Today, Violet and I were going to Minneapolis, just the two of us. We were going to have a girls day together, since we barely get them.

I was really excited for today. I haven't gotten to do much lately since I've been working so much. Well, yeah Subway is a job, may not seem like a great job but hey, it's full time for me and it's been too damn exhausting. The past couple weeks have been tiring me out. So much that I barely wanna do anything on the weekends. But now I finally got a break and I took advantage of it.

My parents may have all the money in the world, but that will never stop me from working. Well, they don't get all the money in the world but my family is pretty damn wealthy. No matter how much money we have, I love working. I love working for my money and what I want and that's what I will do in life. Nothing will stop me from doing so.

"Have fun you two!" Paul said as Violet and I were about to head out the door.

"Thanks Paul! I love you!" Violet said as she opened the door to the garage.

"Thanks Paul! We will! Love you!" I waved and followed Violet out to the truck.

"You ready babe?!" Violet smiled over to me as she turned the truck on.

"Yes! I'm so excited! Gonna be the best day ever!" I exclaimed.

"Where to next?" Violet asked as we walked out of the restaurant.

"I don't care. Let's just walk and look around. If there's something we see that we wanna go in, we can!" I mentioned. Violet agreed and we continued our way up the street.

Minneapolis was kinda sketchy. It creepes me out for the most part, well only when it's dark. It's so packed with people in this city it's crazy. Everywhere you look there's someone. It's so loud and noisy but I don't care. It's been a good day so far. Hell, it's been great. I don't think there's anything else that could make it better than it already is.

"Oh sorry, excuse me. I wasn't watching where I was going." I said as I bumped hard into someone, making me drop my phone.

"Oh no, it was my fault." The guy and I bent down at the same time to pick up my phone. But he beat me to it.

"No it was mine. I was looking at my phone for a second. Didn't realize where I was walking." We both stood up. I met his eyes. My eyes went wide and my mouth dropped. I looked at the guy holding my phone, and the guy next to him.

I couldn't believe who I just ran into.

"Oh my god." I smiled widely, keeping my cool. "I just ran into Grayson Dolan."

"You're a fan?" He smiled.

"A fan? Bitch, I've watched all your guys' videos!" I said and Grayson and Ethan both smiled. "You two are my absolute favorite!"

"Well thank you." Ethan said. "We appreciate it."

"You're welcome." I smiled.

"Oh, I guess you might want your phone back." Grayson stated as he held it out for me.

"Yeah probably, if I forgot it, I'd have to track you down for it." I giggled, grabbing my phone back. "Could I get a picture with you two?"

"Of course!" Grayson smiled.

"Auntie, can you take a picture?" I turned to my side, expecting her to be there. But she wasn't.

"Who are you talking to?" Ethan asked.

"Well, my aunt was with me...now where the hell did she go?" I looked around me, and there was no sign of her.

"Shit.." I said to myself as I started to panic a little bit. I hated Minneapolis sort of. I was always terrified of being kidnapped, shot or being lost. Well you can probably say I'm a little lost, since Violet wasn't with me.

"Hey," I heard Grayson say. But I ignored him. My heart was racing, my hands started to shake. I was literally going to have a bad panic attack.

"Hey." I heard Grayson say once again, this time he grabbed my shoulder.

"Y-yeah?" I stuttered.

"There's no need to worry. We'll help you find her." His eyes met mine, and they were reassuring.

"Okay." I nodded, calming down. "I don't know where she would've went though."

"Call her?" Ethan said.

Duh Ashlea, you idiot.

I dialed Violet's number. It started to ring but I heard a phone going off near me.

"Shit." I said. I hung up the phone and dug in my purse. "I forgot she gave me her phone to put in my purse." I held up her phone.

"Well let's head that way. She couldn't have gotten far. I'm sure she figured you were right behind her. Let's go." Grayson said. I nodded. Him, Ethan and I made our way down the street, having me look in every window there was, to see if I could see her.

I ended up showing the boys a picture of Violet and I so they knew what she looked like. After I did, we continued to search.

"So what is your name anyway? We didn't even ask." Ethan mentioned.

"Ashlea. But with an a at the end instead of a y." I informed him.

"I like it." Ethan said.

"Yeah,it's unique." Grayson said and I couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks." I said.

We walked around  another block, and right when we turned the corner, and the first thing I saw was Violet.

"Violet!" I hollered at her. She heard me. She turned around and I ran to her.

"There you are! I was worried! I forgot you had my phone and I couldn't call you once I knew you weren't by me anymore."

"Yeah, I was fucking having a panic attack!" I exclaimed. "But thank god I was talking with these two when we were split up. They helped me find you." I said as Grayson and Ethan got over to us.

"You two look really familiar.." Violet trailed off.

"This is Ethan and Grayson. They're the youtubers I love watching." I explained to her.

"That's right! That's such a small world!" Violet said. "Thank you two for helping her find me and staying with her. I don't know what I would've done if I lost her."

"You're welcome, we weren't gonna let her be alone. We'd never do that to anyone." Grayson said and I smiled.

"Yeah, it was the nice thing to do. And we're nice guys so it was our pleasure." Ethan said, making Violet and I smile.

"Well since I found her, now, how about that picture?" I looked at the twins, smiling.
