Unpredicted friendship

t w o

The tension in the air was crazy, I wanted to cry but I knew that I couldn't cry in front of the twins. Getting into their car, I realised how safe I felt, I could already tell that we were going to be great friends.

After telling them where my hotel was, they put it on the satnav and set the Tesla to auto drive. That car was beautiful, it was shiny white on the outside and wooden on the inside, I loved it. Throughout the car drive we were jamming to songs, first up was "The Less I Know the Better" by Tame Impala. Wow i love that song. The next song they played was one I suggested called "Girls" by Girl In Red, belting the lyrics I felt like I was in a better place, my life was okay.

Once we got to the hotel I was staying at, Ethan gave me his and Graysons number. "This is in case you need anything," Ethan said as he smiled. I waved goodbye to Ethan and Grayson as they drove off. Before forgetting, I quickly typed the twins numbers into my phone.

When I got into my hotel room I saw I had a message from Casey.

Casey:
Hi Carmen, just wondered if you got to America alright? It's boring without you here.

I quickly texted a response back

Carmen:
Hey bro, I made it to America alright, I miss you little guy. Stay safe!! C x

A smile appeared on my face as I sent that message, I miss him already. That's the only downside of getting a fresh start, I can't see my little brother. I can't really call him little as he's 15, but that's still little to me. My parents are always out of the country so they made me a legal guardian for Casey in case anything happened while they were away. I told them before I left that I would come back for Casey and they didn't care much, I think they were just happy they didn't need to pay for a carer for that long. When I left for America, my parents gave him a phone as they were always busy. "For emergencies only," they said. But I put my number in anyways.

When I sent the message, I saw he replied straight away but there was something I had to do before I could respond to him. That was to text the Twins.

Carmen:
Hi Ethan it's me, Carmen Green. Why did I just say my full name? Anyway, just wanted to make sure you have my number :)

I then sent a text to Grayson.

Carmen:
Hello Grayson, It's Carmen. Thank you for saving me today, this is my number in case you need anything!

I wanted the texts I sent to be different, kinda unique. After all, i'm not like all those other girls, pining after them, I'm a lesbian. That's why my parents basically hate me, they have medieval mindsets and it will be the death of me one day.

Despite the fact it was only 3pm, I needed to have a nap as the jet lag had set in already. Slowly, I made my way over from the door to the lovely king size bed. To my surprise, the mattress was soft which caused me immediately to fall asleep.

*BUZZ BUZZ* Turning to my phone, which had just woke me up, I realised I had three new messages. The first one was from Casey, he sent it at 3:38pm.

Casey:
Hi, mum and dad want to call you when you see this.

"Oh crap", I thought to myself.

The next texts were from the twins, I saw Graysons text first.

Grayson:
Hey Carmen, thanks for texting me. I hope you enjoy your hotel room. It was my pleasure to save you, I know LA can be a scary place. Maybe me and Ethan could take you on a tour soon?

Then I opened Ethans text

Ethan:
Hi Carmen, nice surname haha, thanks for giving me your number. I'll text again later.

Was I dreaming? The Dolan Twins actually sent me messages. Wow, I'm the luckiest fan girl in the world. Let's hope they didn't notice my hoodie earlier, that would have been embarrassing.

Shaking and almost crying, knowing I had to call my parents, I searched for "mum" and pressed the call button. She picked up straight away.

"Hello" her gentle voice spoke, it was like she ever regretted being horrible to me.

"H-hi mum." I stutter, afraid of what she's got to say.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry," She said clearly.

"Sorry? Sorry for not accepting me? Sorry for making my life hell? No mum, I have no time for you. Have a nice night, goodbye." Frustrated, I hung up the phone and started crying. I was sick and tired of being treated like I was nothing.

As a result of my mum's phone call, I didn't want to even think about calling my dad over fear that he would stay the same. Instead I sent a text to Grayson.

Carmen:
Grayson, hi!! Could I take you up on that tour? I know it's late but my body is currently living in the UK time zone, sorry. We could always do it tomorrow.
C

To my surprise,Grayson sent a text back immediately. Even though it was almost midnight, I was surprised to see him up.

Grayson:
I'm kinda tired, but me and E would love to take you on a tour of LA. We'll pick you up outside of your hotel tomorrow morning if that's okay? I'm not sure on the time yet cause Ethan sleeps in til like 12 but I'll wake him up.

I smiled, tomorrow was going to be a good day.

{a/n: once again I want to thank xxhave_faithxx for helping me edit this :)
