My Journey

You Shouldn't Have Done This, E...

"Babe!" Ethan shouted from my living as I was in the bathroom.
"What?" I shouted back at Ethan.
"Come on! Gray is waiting for us at the warehouse!"
"I'm just about to be ready. Hold on for one more sec." I said as out my lipstick and mascara on.
"Come on! I gotta go buy some stuff. Grayson is gonna be mad!" Ethan as I sprinted out to the living room.
"Happy now?" I said as I grabbed my apartment keys.
"Yes, thank you.".
"You were definitely tired..."
"Of course I bloody was! Now you come on, all this pressure for nothing. Geez..." He said before getting up from the sofa and started to make his way to the door. We then went down and got in his car.
"Alright, imma be honest. Grayson's not even in the warehouse yet." He said the second he started driving.
"Are you being serious?"
"Yes, but he's just gotten out of our apartment. He's on his way."
"He better be, if not imma kill you."
"Oh, are you?" He said putting his hand on my thigh.
"You really should keep both hands on the wheel, young man." I said looking at him with a smirk, trying to sound mad.
"Alright, I guess you're mad. And I get it. I just wanted to get to the warehouse as soon as possible to make sure I can go to Target to get stuff for a video Gray and I have in mind and so we could spend a bit more time together."
"Well, he's just got to the warehouse. He just texted me."
"Well, you guys will have to figure out a way to survive without me."
"I think you meant you will have to figure out a way to survive without us."
"You are really turning everything against me today."
"No I'm not. I'm just telling the truth."
"I don't know if I trust you."
"You better do. You have no other option. I always tell the truth." I said slapping his thigh.
"Don't do that. It hurts. And it also distracts me too."
"I'm sorry. Just get to the warehouse."
"I'm on it."
After a while we got to the warehouse and pretty much immediately Ethan left to go to Target and left Grayson and I by ourselves. Probably not a good idea.
"What do you wanna do?" Grayson asked me after Ethan left.
"I don't know. I don't wanna be bored." I said. "Let's play some music."
"I already know where this is gonna go..." Grayson said going to the editing room to put some music on.
"I don't. Where is it gonna go?"
"You having Snapchat in hand... That's dangerous."
"Said the guy that exposed his brother and his girlfriend slowly, but surely."
"I do declare myself guilty. What music do you wanna play?"
"I dunno. Just play a playlist of yours. I trust your taste."
"Alright. Let's start jamming out."

"Jackie Chan is quaking"

"Alright. You've been on your phone pretty much this whole time. Imma check Snapchat."
"Just don't kill me, okay?"
"What have you posted?"
"Quality. I've only posted quality."
"Really? Jackie Chan?" He said looking at me for a couple of seconds with a straight face. "I'd say Jaden Smith, I'm the new karate kid."
"I can't change it now. I'm sorry."
"Nah, I'm glad you compared me with Jackie Chan on that last one."
"Good, cause I wasn't gonna delete it."
"Guys I'm back." Ethan said. "Where are you?"
"Up here!" Grayson said looking out from upstairs as I went down the pole.
"Look at her. Going down the pole."
"That really hurt my hands." I said after giving him a peck on the lips.
"You aren't mad at me anymore, huh?"
"Was she mad at you?" Grayson said appearing from the 'peace' door.
"Kinda, still teasing him." I said going towards the trampoline, by far my favourite pass time in the warehouse; unless I'm tired or too lazy, then I just jump into the foampit and no one can move from there.
"Oh, you mean 'teasing him again'?"
"Grayson!" Ethan said as he went to leave everything in the editing room.
"What? I'm not dumb."
"You're a ninja." I said once I started jumping.
"Yes I am." Grayson said doing some weird kung fu/karate moves.
"You're embarrassing yourself Gray." Ethan said when he got out of the room.
"Doesn't matter, we're best friends, best buds; some more than others obviously."
"True." I said, still jumping.
"Hey, your birthday is coming soon, it's your turn for your big eighteen. Do you have any thing planned?" Ethan asked as he sat on the couch next to the trampoline.
"Well, I was thinking about going back to Spain."
"We just came back from Jersey!" Grayson said sitting next to Ethan.
"Hang on! You didn't let me finish. I wanna go back to Spain with you and Aaron." I said as I got closer to the part of the net where the sofa was.
"Really?" Grayson asked as they both put the same excited facial expression.
"Yeah. I've been looking for tickets and luckily February has quite a lot of tickets to Spain. The only thing is we'd have to board to Madrid and then take another plane to Valencia."
"That doesn't matter. We're going back to Spain, bro!" Ethan said turning around to high five Grayson.
"I know, but I thought about staying a couple of days in Madrid before going back home for my actual birthday day."
"That sounds amazing." Grayson said looking very excited.
"Have you told Aaron?"
"I've told him, kinda. I said I was thinking about going back home and with someone, at least E, but not him." I said sitting inside the trampoline.
"Well, we better tell him. Your birthday is in like a few weeks. And, again, it's the big 18. It's no joke."
"I know, I'll be able to go to jail after that."
"That's not how I look at it, but yeah. You will be able to go, I guess."
"And drive. The Spanish age is 18. I already have the theoric test and when I went to Spain last time I practised driving with my dad. I'm a rebel and very good at driving. So I am pretty sure I'll be able to get it whilst we're there and you won't have to drive me anywhere else."
"That's why you didn't drive. Now it makes sense." Grayson said.
"Why wouldn't she drive if not? She always feels so bad when we go to pick her up or drop her off somewhere."
"Yeah.... I do that. I can't help but feel bad."
"And when would we leave?"
"We would leave the first weekend of February. I feel like that's the best week to leave if we wanna stay in Madrid for a bit."
"Then that's the plan." Ethan said.
"Yeah, but just one little thing. My dad still doesn't know that we are official. He knows we have been 'seeing each other' but not that we're official."
"Why?" He said confused.
"Well, he is a very protective father and I just don't know how to tell him. And my grandparents, who know zero English, will want to meet you."
"That's fine, but your dad not knowing... That's sus..." He said still kind if confused.
"He probably can imagine, cause every time we talk you end up slipping into the conversation, but I haven't personally told him yet."
"And what about the video?"
"He doesn't really watch my smaller vlogs. That one was like 5-6 minutes long so he probably didn't watch it."
"And the fact that you flew to visit us didn't ring any bells?" Grayson asked.
"He did ask me about it, but he didn't really ask me about us. I promise he probably knows. And he loves you so even if he doesn't know he'll love that my first boyfriend is you.
"He does love me. I'm prince charming."
"And the second I tell him you'll be coming for my birthday he'll for sure know. Just don't over think it."
"That wouldn't stop me from loving you." He said jumping into the trampoline and jumping on my back.
"That was very corny and cheesy." I said as I could barely breath, having an Ethan-bakcpack isn't comfy.
"I wanna join!" Grayson said jumping on top of Ethan.
"Alright, you guys weigh a ton. I don't. This isn't fair." I said as I felt myself pretty much converting into the trampoline because of how much I was being squeezed against it.

•••••••••••••••••••

"Aaron, bro, you have to come by. Again." Ethan said as we were with him on a FaceTime call.
"But why?" He asked confused.
"We have good news, or bad news I don't know."
"Are any of you guys pregnant? I swear..."
"No!" We all said at the same time.
"Fine, I'll go. But it better be good news, if they aren't imma kill you."
"I think they are good news." I said.
"Alright, be there in ten."
"Yes!" Grayson said throwing his arms in the air and cheering.
"See ya soon guys." He said.
"Bye!" We all said and we hung up.
"Yes! It is official! We are going to Spain all together!" Grayson said still cheering and jumping around like a little kid.
"Gray, it isn't official yet. Don't get too excited." I said giggling.
"He's gonna say yes, come on!" He exclaimed.
"He probably will, I don't think he's ever been to Spain. And I'm sure he'd love it." Ethan added.
"I don't know either, but you haven't really seen Spain either. You were there for, how long? Two days?"
"Three actually, but you're right we didn't get to see much." Ethan said.
"It's not the best time to see the beach, cause it is kinda cold, but there are a bunch of cool places in Valencia. To visit and take pics at. You guys will have to trust me on the pic places."
"I guess we will. And by the way, how will we be sleeping once we are in Valencia?" Grayson asked once he finally calmed down.
"Lucas will sleep with Mario, so Aaron and Gray in Lucas' room and Ethan and I in my room. Problem solved. Luckily my house has rooms enough, for all of us."
"I feel bad for Lucas and Mario." Grayson said.
"Nah, they're used to sleeping together. In hotels I sleep in the sane room with them and Vanessa sleeps with dad."
*after a few minutes*
"Gray! Open!" Ethan said as we were both on the sofa, I was scratching his back and he was running his fingers up and down my arm.
"You are so lazy, but I'm not gonna judge."
"You just did Grayson."
"Whoops." He said putting his hand over his mouth before opening the door to reveal Aaron. "Hey bro." He said giving him a 'bro hug'.
"Hey guys, could you stop being corny and all cute and say hi to your friend?"
We both looked at each other ans shook our heads. "Nah. We good here." Aaron looked at us.
"We're just kidding!" I said as we stood up and went to hug him.
"Okay, what is it that you have to tell me?"
"Bro, you better take a seat. It's big."
"I feel intimidated for some reason." He said sitting on the air track mat and we sat around him on the floor.
"Well, as you know, my big 18 is coming soon."
"Yeah... And what are you gonna throw a big house party?" He asked which made us all giggle.
"Obviously not. I was thinking on going back to Spain and see my family. Specially Lucas and Mario, it's also their big 18 too."
"How does this involve me though?"
"Well, it does. And hopefully in a high level. I want the three of you to come with me. What better way to celebrate than bringing my three favourite Americans with me?"
"Really? You're willing to take us? With you? To Spain?"
"Yes. What do you say?"
"I say, heck yeah!" He said looking at all of us. We all cheered and hugged each other.
"Really?" I said standing up as it is now official, I am going with my boyfriend and two of my best friends home.
"Yes, going to somewhere I've never been before with some of my three favourite people? Who would say no to that?" Aaron said standing up too.
"YEEEESSSS!!!" I said as I jumped to his arms and hugged him. Ethan and Grayson were laughing at my reaction of Aaron's answer.
"We are all going to Spain together." Ethan said when Aaron and I broke the hug and putting his arm around my shoulders and I put my arm around his waist.
"We are going to Spain." I said looking at all of them and locking eyes with Ethan at the end.
"What have a our lives come to?" Grayson said after Ethan and I kissed and stayed in a cuddle.
"I really don't know, but I love it. And I do not regret any of it." I said as I felt a tears form in my eyes when I thought about all that happened in my life this half year with them. When they realised about it they all came in for a group hug.
