ANNIE LAKEN

After we finished the video, Emma and I decided it would be a good time to leave so we could all get some rest. To be honest, I'm really happy she decided to stay with me tonight so I wouldn't be lonely. Also, I just wanted to talk to her, alone. Maybe us just talking about it will really help us both be less stressed.

Saying goodbye, I gave James a big hug first, telling him that we are definitely getting ready together for his video. We decided the two of us would do a Get Ready With Me and just talk about everything and anything. After saying goodbye to him, Ethan brought me into a hug, thanking me endlessly for being so nice to Grayson. He told me he knows I have good intentions which really boosted my confidence. Having Ethan's approval means the world to me.

Last, but not least, I made eye contact with the most handsome boy I've ever laid my eyes on. He flashed me a smile, walking closer to me. I began to walk towards him, meeting him in the middle. Emma, James, and Ethan were all outside, giving Grayson and I space. I mentally thanked them all, really hoping Grayson would kiss me.

Grayson smiled down at me, rubbing his hands up and down my arms. His gesture relaxed me, but still made my stomach go insane. "Is it my turn yet?" He simply asked, cocking his head to the side with a smirk.

A small laugh escaped my lips, shaking my head yes. I felt a light blush covering my face, just because of how handsome he was.

"You have fun, and I'll see you tomorrow." Grayson said, pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back, taking in his scent, never wanting to let him go. We both pulled away shortly, him looking down at me. My eyes looked into his, then down at his lips. He did the same thing and for a second it felt like he was going to kiss me, but he didn't.

Instead he pulled me in one last time. A feeling of sadness washed over me, wanting to kiss him so badly.

"I will, see you tomorrow, Gray." I pulled away, waving off to him. He did the same thing, but he seemed a little off, a little upset. I didn't question it though, only made my way outside where I found Emma, James, and Ethan acting like they were doing something.

Obviously, I knew they were eavesdropping, but I didn't say anything about it.

They all looked at me, acting shocked.

"Oh, Hey Annie!" Emma said, laughing. "You ready to go?"

They were definitely eavesdropping. Too bad nothing good happened.

"Yes, bye guys!" I said, waving at James and Ethan. They waved back, saying goodbye as well. I then followed Emma to her car, getting in the passengers seat. She then instantly stared at me, obviously wanting me to tell her about what happened with Grayson.

I gave her the look, then rolled my eyes. "No, he did not kiss me." I groaned, disappointed. My mind instantly replayed what just happened, but instead I imagined Grayson kissing me.

Emma's happy facial expression turned into a disappointed one, just like mine. "Are you serious? It's definitely not because he doesn't like you. Trust me, Grayson is so into you, like I've never seen him so into someone before. He's literally treating you like you two are dating. Honestly, he's probably just afraid you don't want to kiss him, or he's just nervous to." Hearing Emma say this made me feel better, but I really just wished Grayson would kiss me.

She began to drive off, and I thought about it a little more. If Grayson was afraid to kiss me, I could always kiss him first? Like tomorrow, him and I were planning on hanging out at night after we all had an adventurous day. He said he wanted alone time with me, and honestly, I wanted alone time with him. Tomorrow would be perfect, I'd take my chance for sure. Turning towards her, I asked, "What if I kiss him first?"

It sounded like a good idea in my head, but I just needed to hear it from her. Emma took her eyes off the road to look at me for a second. Her mouth was wide in a smile. "Dude, fucking do it. That would make Grayson's life, and it would definitely break the ice."

I nodded, looking at the road ahead of us. A small smile crawled onto my face, just thinking about tomorrow.

"I'm gonna fucking do it."

The hotel wasn't too far away, but I was feeling very anxious, wanting to get there so I could shower and rinse off all the salt off of me. I felt very sticky, and my hair looked like a mess.

"I'm gonna shower really quickly, then I'll be right out." I told Emma, digging through my suitcase for a pair of pajama shorts and a t-shirt. She sat down on the bed, watching me.

"Okay, I'll probably just sit in the bathroom with you, to be honest." She said casually, and I nodded, so happy she wanted to keep me company.

"Lets do it for a real one sister." I mocked James, springing up from the ground, flashing Emma a quick smile. She let out a loud laugh, following me in the bathroom.

"James is the best person on this planet." Emma stated, fixing her messy ponytail in the mirror. Not even second guessing myself, I turned on the shower and began to strip with out any warning.

"By the way I'm naked right now." I said, even though I could tell she couldn't see me.

"I love how you just got naked in front of me, like I didn't look, " She then paused, "Oh my god that literally sounded like I was staring at you. I didn't look haha." She faked laughed, mocking herself. This made me start laughing as I got into the shower.

"It's really okay, I mean we probably look the same anyways." I said without thinking, dipping my hair back into the warm water that trickled down my back. It felt so nice, finally being in some water that was warm.

"Serious thought, do you think we are actually twins?" Emma shouted so I could hear her. I'm pretty sure she went and sat on the toilet seat. My mind then slowly drifted off, thinking about how similar we look, and how I don't look anything like my parents.

"I think it's strange how similar we look," I trailed off, shampooing my hair. "But why would  your parents give up a child?" That's what I don't understand, if Emma really was my sister,  why would they split us apart?

"See, that's what I'm saying. My mom and Dad don't seem like those type of people. They would love to have two of me, I mean... I'd hope so." Emma sounded unsure, I could tell this was really bothering her as much as it was bothering me.

Just standing underneath the water for a little bit, I began to think.

"Could we just go to CVS and get a test kit right now?" Im pretty sure we'd have to send it in then just wait a couple days.

"Or should we just go to the hospital?" Emma suggested, and I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. Going to the hospital would be a lot better.

"True, That would be easier. Wait, do we need an adult to come with us?" I fiercely washed my body, wanting to get this shower over with. Now that we are on the topic of DNA tests, I need to get one now. It may be midnight, but I need to find the answer fast. The answer either being yes or no, and I'm not sure what I'd rather want to hear.

"Fuck, I think you're right. Now what do we do?"

My head spun, trying to think of anything other than having to ask her parents, but unfortunately, there were no other options.

"We gotta ask one of your parents."
