*{THE PICTURE IS WHO I SORTA PICTURED OLIVIA AS BUT HONESTLY YOU CAN IMAGINE HER HOWEVER YOU WANT}*

*still ethans pov*

     I couldn't sleep that night. I tossed and turned becoming restless while tangled in between the sheets. Worry consumed my mind. I began to rethink everything. She knows my name. I just hope she doesn't tell. My secret could be out now that she knows who I really am. Maybe I shouldn't have told her that. And now she knows that I lied to her. What if I made her hate me. What if she ruins my image. I hope she didnt run to the media. Or say something to jake paul so he can roast me. My fans will hate me. I should have just told her the truth. The negativity was consuming me. Like a thief in the night coming to steal the little bit of happiness that I had managed to find. I couldn't let that happen. I swore to myself that I would never let this happen. Not after what happened with Kilana.

     I ripped the sheets off my almost bare body, slipped on some shorts and shoes, grabbed the hotel room key and walked out. The dimly lit hallway was my guide. I got to the gym and I was all alone. It was just me and my thoughts. It was 10:36 pm. I was exhausted. But my mind was wide awake. Every bench press, deadlift, push up, sit up and squat distracted my mind little by little.  By the time my body couldn't handle it anymore it was 2 am. I took a basic fboy gym mirror snapchat selfie and captioned it "late night work out". I left the complimentary gym and soon found myself in the shower once again consumed by my thoughts. That night I could only think about her.

*Olivia's pov*

     I could tell that Ethan was slightly shaken up by my statement. I was just trying to get him to realize that im @7upethan (this is made up lololol idk if this is a real twitter acc or not). I'llprobably see him again later because Lauren is attached to Grayson like a leech.

      After the show Lauren and I went to go explore London. She took me to her favorite little cafe. Normally I would just call it a coffee shop but they dont sell coffee. She hates coffee. So would it be called a tea shop? Anyways, she had to stock up on her tea because she was running low. Ren with no tea is not a pretty site. While we were getting tea I called my mom and told her the tea. She told me she was not 100% ok with me hanging out with a guy in a foreign country because in reality, he was a stranger. I reassured her that it was going to be fine. We had spent most of the day being tacky tourists. I had been practicing my British accent all day and Ren has been my coach through it all! It's slowly becoming believable and im so here for it.

     When we got back to the apartment, Ren suggested we have a girls night. I took a quick shower and put my pj's on. While I was waiting for Ren to come back downstairs I checked snapchat to see if Ethan posted anything. It was only stuff from the show. I guess hes busy.  I just realized that tomorrow was tuesday. Hes probably editing the video.

     I logged onto twitter. I found a picture that I took of the twins during the show and said "wow ethan was looking like a snack" which was very very true. I clicked on his profile and saw that he tweeted "I need to sleep but my mind is like nope". I replied with "ha I bet I know why😏". Hes never going to see it so who cares what I say. I logged off just as Lauren was coming down the stairs. She had on a black Dolan twins sweatshirt and some plaid fuzzy pants.

     She turned on the TV and opened up netflix. Ren was trying so hard to make me agree to binge watching some British reality tv. She eventually made me cave and we sat on her couch for hours. By the time we finished the season it was 2 am. We said goodnight and parted to our rooms.

    I grabbed my phone and texted my mom a quick goodnight since it was only 9 pm for her. I went back on snapchat to say goodnight to my streaks and watch some snapchat stories. I saw ethans user name pop up on my phone and clicked on it. He stood there dripping in sweat and swollen from his workout.  Jawline prominent and a serious look on his face. Just the sight of him made my knees weak and caused the swarm butterflies to enter my stomach. The mere sight of him affected me like no other. I plugged my phone into the wall and placed it on do not disturb. I flicked the light switch off and fell into a dark dreamless sleep.

     The next morning I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside of my window and a screeching teapot. Ren must be up. I threw the quilt off of my body and got off the bed. I went and used the bathroom and brush my teeth to go downstairs.  When I enter the kitchen I see two plates of breakfast and cups of piping hot tea.

     "Wow why hasn't Grayson scooped you up yet? This is the best way to wake up" She laughed and ushered me to come sit next to her and eat.

     "So Ren.. I've never actually asked but how did you and Grayson even meet? Like how long has this been going on?" My voice was slightly muffled due to the food that was crowding my mouth. It was definitely not a pleasant site. She laughed at my state and cleared her throat.

     "This is a long story so brace yourself" I nodded my head with anticipation.

     "So I vividly remember the twins being in manchester a couple years ago for 4OU and so I begged my mom to go, she eventually caved in. So we went to 4OU, I know you've seen videos so I dont have to explain what happened". She paused as if trying to recall what happened.

     She continued on with the words "well after the show and meet and greet I went to a cafe with my mum. She sat down at a little table next to the window. After I grabbed our drinks I turned around and bumped into something and spilled all my tea! When I look up I realized that I spilled all of my tea on top of GRAYSON! I tried to clean it up with napkins but it wasn't working so all I could do was apologize! I definitely remember him asking if I was at the show. I nodded and he said that I could make it up to him by giving him my number! So we exchanged numbers and have been friends since and just recently we started developing real feelings for each other and its been great! But we really met over spilt tea!" Lauren finished the story with a shy smile on her face as she looked off into the distance remembering that say.  I could tell that Grayson truly made her happy. Im gonna make sure that he feels the same. No one will hurt my best friend and get away with it. Not even a Dolan.
