Grayson's POV

I unfastened my seatbelt, standing up as the plane came to a slow halt.

God, it felt good to stretch my legs.

"Hey, Rach!" I called, looking to a couple of rows behind Skye and myself, to where Josh and Rachel were sitting.

My jaw dropped and the world seemed to disappear around me.

She was kissing him.

Josh.

The British guy.

What the hell?

I froze immediately, tearing my eyes away from what would hurt me if I even tried to comprehend it.

But I mean, she just met him!

And I guess I thought she and I had a thing..

Well that didn't matter anymore. I just needed to man up and forget about it.

The aeroplane doors finally opened, and I ignored my emotions, following Ethan and Mia who were in front of me, bickering, as per usual.

Although, at times, they despised eachother, and at other times acted like a couple, which was all to confusing for them, let alone us, I'd give anything to be in Ethan's situation right now.

We were through passport control within only a few minutes and I finally stepped out of the airport into New York City.

An awesome vine idea popped into my head, so I grabbed Ethan aside to tell him as we waited for a cab.

I literally dragged him, he wouldn't take his eyes off of Mia, who was already taking pictures of the gorgeous skyline.

It was getting late and the city looked alive with lights. It was beautiful.

Yet I still felt like crap.

"Dude, whats up?" Ethan asked me, snapping me out of my trance.

"Huh?" I mumbled.

"You dragged my ass over here, now what do you want? Wait, hold up, you look like your best friend just died, or worse, YOUR TWIN!" He joked, knowing a stupid twin joke as dorky as that would always make me laugh.

We stood in silence for a few minutes, and I knew he was waiting for me to tell him what was wrong.

"Look." I choked out, I didn't have the guts to explain aloud.

I was pointing to Rachel, all cuddled up with Josh.

"Mate!" Josh shouted over, acknowledging me, probably because I was pointing directly at him.

"Yeah?" I murmured.

"The taxi's here, come on, get a move on!" He shouted, probably jokingly, but I wasn't exactly happy with the guy.

I held in some rather rude words, clenching my fists as I saw him holding hands with Rachel.

I had to stay calm. I mean Josh seemed like a good guy, I'm sure I could trust him to take care of her, and that was more than I could ask of him really.

I felt Ethan's hand on my shoulder, and I turned around to see him giving me an empathetic look. I don't know if it was a twin thing, but it provided me with the reassurance and comfort I needed.

We rushed to climb into the cab, and got to the motel pretty quickly. We dumped our bags in our rooms, before leaving again, eager to explore the city.

"Right. I want to see the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and OH MY GOD THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. AND TIMES SQUARE!!" Mia listed enthusiastically, and I guessed she was out of her mood. You could just see her eyes light up with excitement.
