It's been a week since James, the twins, and I have been hanging out. It's been a lot of fun, and our collabs were even great. The twins invited James and I to a road trip this weekend. James had to decline, due to some business meetings. I, bring the loner I am, said yes. I had to pack a few things for the road trip, so i brought out my mini bag. I put a red long sleeve champion cropped sweatshirt, a white tight crop top, and some light washed jeans and of course, my poop jacket. I also put in a pair of black boots. I also put in all my extra stuff like contacts and my toothbrush.
"Are you done packing?" I hear my mom ask from behind me. I turn around and nod at her.
"Good, because Ethan just called. They said they're coming to pick you up in 30 minutes," she says handing me my phone. "Okay," I smile at her as I walk back downstairs. I decide to edit my videos while I have some time to spare.
I sit down at my desk and start editing on my computer until my thirty minutes are up.
I get a call on my phone, showing Ethan's caller ID. "Hello?"
"Hey, we're outside."
"I'll be out," I turn the phone off and quickly jog up the stairs. I grab my bag and stuff my camera in it. I run back downstairs into the kitchen saying goodbye to my mom. Lastly, I shut my computer off and grab my phone running out the door.
I see the twins in the front, and Bryant in the back. "Hey," they all say in unison as I open the door and get in the car. "Hey," I answer.
"Ready?" asks Grayson. I nod as he drives off, on our way to, wait, where are we going?
———————————————————-
"We're here!" Grayson yells, causing Bryant, and I to wake up from our power nap. I groan, rubbing my eyes due to the sunlight shining on them. They all get out of the car, so I do the same. I check my phone to see the time. 10:57 p.m. I see Ethan and Grayson take their bags out of the trunk, the Bryant. I then take mine before Grayson closes the trunk. "Let's go," Ethan sighs.
We all walk into our rented cabin, while the floor board beneath us creaked. "There's three rooms, so choose whichever one," Grayson smiles walking away. I walk a little bit further into the cabin, seeing an open door on the left. I peek in, seeing that Bryant was already settled into it. I then walk away, still hunting for my room. I walk past the kitchen and living room, observing it's comfort. I then turn right walking down a long hallway leading up to a dead end. There was two doors on the left, and one on the right. The two doors at the very end of the hall were right across each other, so I figure the odd one was the bathroom. I see the left door already opened, so I figured the twins took it. One more left. I open the door to the right, walking into a smell of vanilla. I look around and see a bed, between two night stands, and a dresser to the left of it. The very front wall had a big window with curtains, showing peeks of the moons light. "I see you chose your room," My breath hitches due to a voice that pulls me out of thought. I turn around and see Ethan laughing. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," he laughs lookin down to his feet, then back up again. His arms are folded, and his legs are crossed as he lazily leans against the doorframe of my room. "It's fine," I smile putting my hands on my hips "It's really nice out here,"
"Yea, don't know how Grayson found it. Weirdo," he whispers the last part to himself while looking around the room, causing me to chuckle a little. He looks back at me, his eyes burning through me, and notices me stop. I feel myself get nervous, but I shrug it off and try to act casual. "W-Where's Grayson and Bryant," I ask trying to sound normal. "Grayson's sleepy ass already knocked out, and Bryant... well I don't know. He probably did too," he sighs, which made me feel like the conversation was getting boring. All of a sudden, I hear a light ringtone, coming from the back pocket of Ethan's jeans. He quickly grabs his phone, making sure to shut it off, not to disturb Grayson. "C'mon," he whispers pulling my hand dragging me out the room. He opens the backyard sliding door, still holding my wrist. "Lay down," he says as he starts getting down on the grass. I look at him confused at first, but then follow his actions. He looks at his phone, and the time reads 11:11. "Now close your eyes, and make a wish," he whispered very lightly. I look at him, as his eyes were closed and he was in deep thought. I copy him and turn my head straight again, closing my eyes. I carefully make my wish, and open my eyes back up. I look to my side to see Ethan already staring at me. "What was that?" I ask.
"Every night I can, I lay down on the grass, and look up at the stars. Then, at 11:11, I make a wish, hoping it'll come true," he says admiring the stars above us. "Is that what the alarm was for?" He slowly nods still looking up.
"Does Grayson do this with you?" I ask out of curiosity. "No, he thinks it's too cheesy," He laughs as he finally looks back at me "So far, you're the only one I've done this with," My smile slowly fades away from my face, trying not to make it obvious. I turn away looking up at the sky. "It's a good feeling," I finally say after a long silence. I feel him nod his head as he finally sighs.
He gets up holding his hand out for me to take. I put my hand in his, standing up. I dust off all the grass off my clothes and follow Ethan back inside. He closes the door and we both walk back into the hallway. "We should go to bed," I say. Ethan doesn't say anything but nod his head. He doesn't take long to open up the door of his bedroom.
He looks back and waves, before closing it. I walk back into my room, closing the door and jumping on my bed. I groan into my pillow, realizing I might have hurt him.
