Ethan's pov : First day of CreatorCon
8:00 AM
Gray just woke me up for no fucking reason, we don't have to be at the convention till 11, I get up anyways, get dressed sand brush my teeth,
"E, you wanna get some breakfast?" Gray asked
"Obviously."
"Okay, where do you wanna go?"
"I don't know, is there a pressed anywhere?"
"Yeah, I think there's one right down the street."
"Okay, let's go."
"I'm going." He says, we walk to the elevator and go down, And to the lobby, I see the wishing fountain and I can't help but think of Emma. I take a picture of it on snapchat and caption it, 1 year, and posted it, Because I met Emma here 1 year ago, I'm sure so many fans have already figured out what it means, but it's fine. We get to his car and go to pressed, I get a wellness shot and frozen yogurt, we sit outside and eat, I had to wait 5 minutes for Grayson to take a snapchat of it before I could eat it, after that we went back to the hotel for around 20 minutes just to freshen up, then we left, when we were walking into the convention center Emma noticed us, she came on over to us.
We talked about where our stations are and what time we go on, I'm so mad, Emmas so far away from us. We set up and hangout with fans till 3:10 then Gray and I go to stage B and watch Emma, we sit in the front 3 chairs with Ellie, there's so many people here it's insane. They start asking Emma and Hannah questions, then they ask if either of them are in a relationship, Hannah says no, I was expecting Emma to say yes, but she didn't. I understand obviously, but it's just a little weird how she said it, it's fine, I know our relationship, she knows it, as long as we're together nothing can go wrong. After I watched Emmas interview Gray and I went back to our panel, once the whole day was over, we went back to our hotel room, I tried to text and call emma but she didn't answer, it was getting late and I know a Emma doesn't go to sleep any earlier than midnight, I didn't want to seem like a crazy boyfriend but I'm worried, I walk over to her hotel room, I knock and Hannah opens the door
"Ethan?" She asks
"Yeah, hi. I just wanted to talk to Emma, is she here?" I ask
"No, she went out, it's getting late, I thought she was with you by now, she's not answering us." Hannah says
"She's not with me, I thought she was here, she hasn't been answering me either." We knew she would take a while so we went into the bedroom and sat there, we sat there for a good 20 minutes before she walked in,
"There you are." I say
"Here I am." She says back, she seems confused. We all talk for a little, but then we start arguing.
"There's not a problem, I'm sorry. As long as you guys are just friends." What am I saying.
"Well obviously we're just friends, Ethan, I'm with you. I love you." She's never said that before, we've  never said that before.
"Emma, I love you too." I'm shocked, everyone in the room is shocked, I love her so much, I can never lose her. She hugs me and whispers
"You will never lose me to Matt, or anyone else. I promise." I hug her tighter, And she let's go. We decide it's best if I go back to Gray, we make plans for tomorrow. I walk back to my hotel room, I walk in and Gray's asleep, I try to be as quiet as I can so he doesn't wake up, it works, he doesn't. I change into sweatpants and a hoodie, and lay down into the other bed, I lay there for a while, just staring, I check my phone and it's 3 AM, have I really been laying here that long?  I decide it's probably time for me to go to sleep, I have to wake up at 9 in the morning tomorrow anyways. I wake up the next morning to Grayson again, he's always up before me,
"E, you have to get up, it's 9, I brought you breakfast."
"Sweet, but 5 more minutes."
"No, E, get up, how late were you out? I didn't even hear you."
"Around midnight, but I didn't go to bed till like 3"
"E, you need to sleep, the average person needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep."
"Gray, I really don't need your smartness this early in the morning."
"Whatever, get up. Do you need to shower?"
"Yes, but seriously, 5 more minutes." I feel his hand on mine, then he pulls me up.
"Ughh" I groan, but I stay up, I eat the pancakes, after about 15 minutes I get in the shower, when I get out I put on black ripped jeans, a black t- shirt, and white vans. We leave at around 10:30, we get to the convention center and there's literally no one here except a bunch of fans waiting outside, we go and say hi to some of them to waste time, they're so fun, I love them. The day goes pretty good, all day I've been looking forward to hanging out with Emma tonight, it's almost 3 now, so like 3 more hours till the beach, Graysons phone starts ringing, it's our mom,
"Yo, Gray, moms calling." He comes over and answers it, he's smiling but all of a sudden his face drops,
"Gray? What is it?"
"Mom, slow down." He says
"Grayson, what's going on?"
"Oh my god, we will absolutely be right there." Grayson says on the phone
"Oh my god. What ??" He hangs up.
"It's dad. The doctor called, moms freaking out." Gray finally answers
"Why?" I ask
"Dad wasn't feeling great so they went for a checkup and then something failed and now the doctor said he's only got a week. E, we have to get over there right now." I'm speechless, I'm standing there with my jaw dropped, I honestly can't express how I'm feeling. I have to text Emma, I text her and tell her Gray and I are leaving, I feel so bad for canceling but it's my dad. We start packing up when Emma walks up, I need her more than anything right now, and there she was, so perfect. Right on time as always, she's always here when I need her. I explain to her why we're leaving and she responds perfectly, she hugs me, tells me everything's going to be alright, she comforts Gray, there's nothing she can't do, she's so fucking perfect it hurts almost. Eventually we leave, we drive back to the hotel, then back home so we can pack some stuff, when we get to Jersey we go to the house, we walk in and there's no one here, it's so empty, so quiet. Gray and I unpack then go to the hospital, when we get there dads laying there in his bed, he's asleep, moms sitting there, almost asleep in the chair next to him, when she sees us she pops up,
"I'm so glad your here, dad should be up here soon. I missed you boys so much."
"We missed you too." We say
"Where's Cam?" Gray asks
"She's around here somewhere, I think getting coffee."
"Oh okay." We all laid in the room waiting till dad woke up, everyone else was asleep and I was just sitting there, I love my dad, I start typing something for my dad, the things I want him to hear before he goes. It's so late but I need to talk to someone, I walk out into the hall so I don't wake anyone up, I call Emma.
