"What!" I exclaimed as they gave me the news.
I began to cry, burying my face in my knees. Ethan got up and wrapped his arms around me as I sobbed.
"Leave me alone." I whined and after I said that, without saying anything, both Ethan and Grayson walked up stairs and left me with me and my tears.
About an hour later I walked upstairs and found the twins filming their YouTube outro.
"Grayson and I have a big announcement." Ethan said not realizing I was in the room.
Grayson noticed my existence and nudged him, Ethan looked at him and laughed as he continued.
"WE ARE MOVINE TO L-" Grayson cut the camera before he could finish. "What the hell bro!" yelled Ethan. Grayson pointed to the corner where I was standing. "Oh" he said.
"It's for the best" I said quietly.
"Mary, just because we are moving away doesn't mean we will stop being friends" Ethan explained, getting up and wrapping his arms around me.
"We love you and that will never change" Grayson agreed.
I smiled as I hugged both of my best friends.
"thank you" I whispered. I felt their lips widen into a smile, so I smiled to. I let go of them and immediately my phone began to ring.
"Hello?" I asked the unknown number.
"Hello, is this Mary Delaney?" A man's voice spoke, his tone very serious.
My heart was beating quickly. "This is she."
"I am officer Glen and I have some bad news. Would you mind coming down to the station?" He asked me.
"Can I know the reason being?" I asked, my anxiety shooting the sky. Ethan and Grayson noticed the worry on my face and listened closely.
I heard a sigh on the other line as he came closer to the phone.
"Ms.Delaney, your parents have passed in a car crash earlier today." He said. My heart crashed and I felt sick.
I sunk to the floor, the phone still with me.
"I'm terribly sorry miss. I understand if you cannot come by today, but you must come by to pick up your parents belongings." He spoke but I couldn't hear him.
My parents are gone.
Tears swell my eyes as he continued. Ethan saw me struggling as he grabbed my phone and put it on speaker.
"Do you have any relatives?" He asked.
"N-No." I answer, stuttering at the news.
"Well, you will have to be put into foster care, Miss Delaney." He explained.
"Do they have to be relatives?" Ethan took the phone from me, clearly I was too distraught to speak.
"It is better if they are but if you have family friends that would take you in, then you would have to come down to the station with them to register you as their guardian."
"Perfect, we will come down by the station to talk to you about it." Ethan ended the call with the officer and turned towards me.
"I'm so sorry, Mary." Ethan apologized to me, kneeling infront of me.
Grayson was cradling me in his arms as I cried.
They're gone.
A few hours later
I had relaxed and cleared my mind, still in Grayson's embrace.
"There is a silver lining to everything. I don't know if you would be up for this but I don't have anymore relatives to stay with, the officer said that I don't have to live with relatives, as long as you guys are ok with it, I am allowed to live with you guys?"
The twins looked at each other.
"Of course, Mary. We just need our parents to sign you as their own and you can move in with us." Grayson agreed.
"Thank you guys."
