Twisted Up

~Chapter 10~

"So where are we going?" I ask.

"Its a surprise," Grayson says.

"Can I have a hint?"

"Nope" He smiles.

Bruhhhh I wanna know so badly. I go to my room and grab a white scrunchie and put on some mascara. I go downstairs and see Ethan and Grayson waiting for me by the door.

"We going?" I ask.

"Yup, hop in the car," Ethan says.

"Oh wait we forgot something," Grayson says.

"What?"

He grabs a bandana off the table and ties it around my head so I can't see.

"What's all this for"

"So you cant see where we're going silly"

"Oh yeah"

"Okay let's go"

"Bro"

"What"

"I can't see where the car is dude"

"Ugh fine so needy"

We laugh. He grabs my non-broken arm and leads me to the car. It was a good ten minutes that we were in the car when Ethan stops for gas. 

"Riley, Let's go inside and gets some water"

"Grayson I look sus asf"

"Oh shit your right" He takes off the bandana for me and we walk out. 

"This is my surprise?... A gas station"

"No stupid we didn't get there yet"

We laugh a little and we walk in together and shit.. we see a fan approach us. I pretend like I don't know Grayson and I start to walk away when I run into another fan. 

"OMG DID YOU JUST WALK OUT OF THE DOLAN TWINS CAR OMG OMG OMG"

"um"

"Who even are you," The other fan says rudely.

I just do the awkward laugh and I try to signal Grayson.

"Um, I'm sorry I have to um... Use the bathroom"

They go on their phones thank god. I go to the bathroom and text the gc with me e and gray. 

Me: Bro I barely got away from those fans they are suspicious of me now

E: I'm coming in to pay the gas in a sec where are you

Me: I'm in the bathroom hiding

E: Okay don't worry we'll get you outta there

Me: Okay hurry

G: BRO THEIR CRAZY

E: Wdym

G: I'll tell you in the car we have to get Riley out of here she's gonna get hurt

E: HURT?! I'm coming in

I walk out the bathroom praying that they're gone. I sigh in relief, there is no sign of them. I turn to look for Grayson but I feel someone grab my neck and push me against the wall. It was the "Fans" the other one was recording me. 

"Let go!" I say as I push her off of me.

She choked me harder until I had blacked out. I wake up and feel that someone is carrying me. I look up and its Grayson. 

"Hey, are you okay?"

"What happened?"

"Those fake fans chocked you and you blacked out"

"Oh yeah..."

He shuts the car door and Ethan hops in. 

"Riley," Ethan says gently.

"Hm?" I say while tears go down my cheeks.

"Hey, its gonna be okay"

"Yeah, I know"

Grayson gets out of the car and comes to sit with me in the back seats.

"Thanks" 

He pulls me into a tight hug. 

"We're supposed to protect you and we failed I'm so sorry" He sniffles.

Is he crying?

"It's not your fault"

"Yes it is we should've never kept you a secret, you're ready, you've been ready, you were so mature with everything happening"

"Thanks gray" I hug him again. Ethan slams the breaks in the middle of our hug. 

"Ethan!"

"Yooo What was that,"  Gray and I say.

"Squirrel" He huffs.

"Are we still going to have a surprise?"

"We're going home we will later this week I'm sorry Riley"

"Oh, it's okay"

Grayson looks at his phone in shock.

"Gray?"

"Look"...
