Brooke's POV:

"I got the bags." Grayson muttered as he opened the trunk and pulled both suitcases out with ease leaving me in awe.

"Ready?" He smiled up at me as he placed the bags on the ground. "Ready as I'll ever be." I say with a slight smile as I tug my coat tighter against me.

Grayson was right. It's pretty cold here. Maybe even colder than it is at home.

Grayson led the way up the elaborate porch and gently knocked on the door. He looked at me with a reassuring smile just before the door swung open revealing a woman with a bright smile on her face.

"Grayson." She said with a slight sigh and pulling him into a tight hug. He laughs a little. "Hey Mom." He mutters into her shoulder. I smile at the sight. She really did miss him.

"And this is.." "Brooke." Grayson says with a smile. "My girlfriend." He says and she smiles at him and then looks back at me.

All I can think about is how he just called me his girlfriend. We never discussed this and he never asked me to be his girlfriend. I don't know what to do so I go along with the whole thing.

"Hi." I smile brightly sticking my hand out. "Oh we hug in this family." She chuckles pulling me into a hug causing me to relax a little. "My names Lisa. The rest of the family is in the living room." She smiles. Grayson and I nod as she leads us inside.

"Grayson you know where your room is so go and sit those bags down." She says motioning towards the stairs. "And you can come meet everyone." She says with a smile on her face.

I smile back hesitantly. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't shitting my pants right now.

"Everyone this is Brooke. Grayson's girlfriend." There's that word again. I keep a friendly smile in as they all stand up.

"I'm Sean. Grayson's Dad." The man utters shaking my hand and I smile. "I'm Cameron. His sister." She smiles brightly. She's really pretty but she's very open and seems kind.

Then I see him. He looks so much like Grayson but not really. "I'm Ethan. And you can probably tell that I'm his brother." He laughs. I laugh along with him. "He told me about you before we came." I reassure him to let him know that I'm not too weirded out.

"Wow." He mutter. "What?" I ask confused. "Oh it's nothing. You're just so different from all the other girls he's been with." He says with a grin. "Don't pester her Ethan." Lisa says rolling her eyes.

"What?! She is!" He exclaimed causing both me and Cameron to laugh. "You are very different. You seem to have a lot more class." Cameron says. "Thank you I guess." I chuckle pushing my hair behind my ear as Grayson walks in.

Ethan and Grayson immediately hug and Cameron and I chuckle at how stupid they are and then Grayson hugs Cameron and his dad.

"You got a nice one there Gray." Ethan says winking at me. "I swear to god if you don't quit." Grayson warns Ethan. "I was just kidding." He says throwing his hands in the air.

Grayson glares at him for a minute and I roll my eyes. I can't exactly tell if this is gonna be a good or a bad trip.

AN:

So I have a research paper for AP US history and a Rhetorical Analysis paper for AP language due on the same day and I'm considering dropping out.

But on the bright side I just had my last orthodontist appointment. Your girls teeth are officially straight :).

So how's your lives going?  lol
