Crossing Paths with the Dolans

t h r e e

"Are you guys sure it's okay if I stay with you?" I ask. "I don't want to be intruding."

Grayson rolls his eyes. "Of course, and you're not intruding!"

We take our carry-ons and head out of the plane. "It's so hot!" My pits are sweating like crazy. Not only that but I'm literally sweating everywhere. My forehead has beads of sweat dripping down my face. My back is also super wet. It's as if I just finished running a marathon. I honestly hope that the guys don't smell my sweat.

"Yo, we gotta get our luggage!" Ethan calls out. Grayson jumps on top of Ethan, and I just trail behind awkwardly. "Get off of me, or I will slap your face off!"

I look around the airport, it's nice. That's all I have to say because I'm to busy looking outside of airport windows. Oh and I'm also looking at the two boys acting ridiculous in front of me. "Hey AJ, what does your suitcase look like?"

"It looks like my carry on bag." I point to my carry on bag. Grayson gets me my suitcase and hauls it over to me. "Thanks so much!"

"Do I get a hug?" He winks and opens up his arms. I smile and shake my head. Slowly, I walk towards Grayson and stand on my tippy-toes to hug him. As we hug, he lifts me off the ground a little. Grayson is literally about a foot taller than me, and I hate being short, but everyone tells me that me being short is a plus because I give amazing hugs. I have never hugged a guy in my life, and the fact that I'm 16 and haven't hugged a guy before is just embarrassing. "Wow AJ, you're a really good hugger."

"Haha thanks," I pat him on the back. "So where are we gonna go next?"

"Well, we have to go the car," Ethan laughs. "And then we go home. But we should totally get some pizza and froyo before!" I follow Ethan and Grayson out of the baggage claim and into the entrance/exit of the airport.

"We should, I'm starving-" I was about to say that I was really excited, but I'm cut off as we enter the entrance/exit of the airport. There are so many Dolan Twin fans waiting, screaming while Grayson and Ethan walk in. And then here I am, the tag along from New Jersey with an impossible dream.

"GRAYSON I LOVE YOU!"  A girl with ombré blue hair screams.

"BACK OFF BITCH HE'S MINE!" A girl with brown hair yells.

"ETHAN DO TURTLE MAN!" Someone else yells.

"WHO WAS THAT GIRL ON SNAP!" The girl with ombré blue hair asks.

"WAIT GUYS LOOKS SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND THEM!"

Wow thanks you finally acknowledge my presense. I awkwardly smile. And Graysom smiles down at me.

"AHHLOOK AT HOW GRAYSON LOOKED AT HER!"

"OMG YOU'RE RIGHT THEY'RE PROBABLY DATING!!!"

"BUT WHAT HER AND ETHAN CAN'T YOU SEE THAT HE'S CARRYING ONE OF HER BAGS!?"

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT ITS HER BAG?!"

"BECAUSE LOOK AT THE MONOGRAMMED INITIALS! IT SAYS AJH, GRAY AND E DON'T HAVE THOSE INITIALS!"

I mutter underneath all the screaming, "I'm not dating any of them..."

"We love you guys so much!" Grayson calls out to the fans.

"You mean the world to us!" Ethan adds. The two of them take some pictures with them and they hug them. I notice how Ethan and Grayson's eyes sparkle when they talk to their fans. Ethan laughs at something a fan said, Grayson is handing a tissue to a girl who's crying. "Guys, this is AJ,"Ethan motions for me to come over. I wobble on over and shyly smile. "She's our neighbor back in Jersey, and it's her first time in LA."
