Illusion

Chapter: 2

*PRESENT TIME*

"When were they going to be here?" My mom asked as we finished cleaning the kitchen and living room.

"They should be here soon. They said they would be here around 5." I informed her. It was Thursday and I took off of work for the weekend. I usually get Saturday's and Sunday's off but I wanted a couple extra days off just to relax and have fun.

This weekend was going to be fun. This evening, Ethan and Grayson were actually coming to visit. It's been a couple months since I first met them. I met them back in August, in Minneapolis, and it is now October.

Back in Minneapolis after we found Violet, the twins hung out with her and I for the rest of the day. They really liked hanging with us so they followed us back to my aunts house and we all hung out there.

Let's just say, I haven't stopped talking to Grayson since that day.

Him and I have talked everyday. We've texted, I've FaceTimed them and talked over the phone. I have grown really fond of being friends with them so much. Grayson and I really clicked right away. We get along so well, it's unbelievable. I get along with Ethan as well, like really well but there's something about Grayson and I. Hell, I never thought I would ever be friends with the Dolan twins, but here I am. I'm 21 years old and I'm good friends with Ethan and Grayson.

I have loved the twins for a couple years now. I've been watching their videos for that long, along with following them on Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter. They have made my life better. They could always make me laugh and smile when I didn't even feel like I could. And now, they've made an impact on my life by just being friends with me.

Tonight is going to be pretty fun. Hell, this weekend was going to be fun. My mom and dad are going to Sioux Falls, South Dakota tomorrow morning. They're visiting a family friend they haven't seen since last year. Then the twins should be here anytime now and they're staying with me for the weekend. Once they get here, Annessa, but I call her Nessa, Paytn and Johordan are going to head over here as well. I'm having a bonfire tonight. My friends have not met Ethan or Grayson yet. They know all about them and let me tell you, they do not stop giving me shit about Grayson. They know that I'm starting to like him. And I'm not afraid to say or show it.

"Well Ashlea, maybe Grayson will smooch ya this weekend." My mom smirked at me.

"Mom!" I groaned.

"What?!" She exclaimed. "You're 21 years old and you have not had your first kiss yet! You're a virgin at everything!"

"I know. But I don't even know if he liked me back at all.."

"I know sweetie. But maybe he does? You never know!"

"I know mom." I said. I soon heard a car honking in the yard. "They're here!" I shrieked. I bolted out the door and I ran onto the deck. I looked over the railing and I saw a black SUV parked down by the basement.

Ethan and Grayson.

"Hey guys!" I waved as they both got out of the car.

"Ashlea!" They both shouted. I smiled. I ran down the stairs of the deck and ran over to them.

"How are you!?" Ethan asked as he engulfed me into a hug.

"I'm great! How are you!?"

"Great now. This weekend is going to be bomb as hell!"

"Yes it is." I smiled at him when we broke the hug. I turned to Grayson.

"I missed you!" I said as I pulled Grayson into a hug.
