I pushed the "2" button on the elevator, that would take me to the second floor, then waited patiently. 

When the doors opened, I stepped out into the long hallway, and strolled down the path to our room. I checked my phone for the time. It read 7:53 pm. I swiped the keycard to unlock the door, and wandered into the dark room silently. 

Our hotel room consisted of 2 parts. One bedroom, with the two beds, and the sitting room, with a couch and a TV that I had entered. And we also had a bathroom, but that hardly counts as a room.

I walked quietly into the bedroom, and saw that the curtains were open, very dim light shining through the windows. I was about to flick the lights on, because it was still way too dark, but I stopped myself, quickly drawing my hand back from the light switch, at what I was able to make out.

The weak light coming from outside was enough for me to see two bodies entwined together, kissing.

I immediately recognized Grayson. He was on our bed, and I recognized his sweatshirt next to him. I put a hand over my mouth to stop myself from gasping. What was he doing, kissing another girl? As they moved slightly closer to the light, I bit my lip, tears welling up in my eyes. Mel?

I ducked out of the room, and ran outside into the hallway. I sprinted to the elevator, and repeatedly jabbed the "down" button until the stupid elevator responded. When the doors opened, I darted inside, and let out a sob. 

Once I was outside of the hotel, I continued running, for ten minutes, nonstop, until I realized I was lost. I dashed into a nearby restaurant, and scampered inside the women's restroom, still crying.

After I had locked my stall shut, I was about to sink to the ground, weeping, but I stopped myself. I took a deep breath, and tried to collect my thoughts.

It was only around 8 o'clock. Grayson told me when our group split up, that he was going to a skateboard park. Ethan and Melissa went somewhere, a mall maybe, and I went to a souvenir shop to buy some souvenirs for my parents and Alex, my sister, for when I got home.

I pulled out my phone and went to the "map" app. I entered our hotel's location, and using the app to guide me, I walked home.

I trudged into the hotel room, and glanced at my phone. 9:37. That took an hour and a half.

I peeked into the bedroom. Grayson was sitting on our bed, on his phone. Melissa was fast asleep on her own bed, and Ethan was sleeping next to her. I bit my lip angrily. Now that Grayson and Melissa had kissed, couldn't they just sleep in the same bed, and stop pretending that nothing happened between them? Then, I remembered that no one was supposed to know Grayson was cheating.

"I'm sleeping on the couch outside," I announced, in a casual manner. I didn't want to be cold.

"Cas-" 

I couldn't bear to hear Grayson say my name so I cut him off. "I'm tired. Goodnight, Grayson."

I marched into the bathroom, and brushed my teeth quickly.

When I was done, I scurried into the living room, and fell asleep on the couch, Grayson watching over me with a troubled look on his face.

Idiot.

I woke up to Grayson and Ethan chatting about their channel. I bit my lip. I'd have to talk to Ethan today about Grayson and Mel. I still have him to go to.

I thought about how I should act towards Grayson and Mel. I didn't want to turn into a cold, hateful person, but I didn't want to be mad and shout at them either. I decided to act as if I was friends with them, but nothing more, especially with Grayson.

I walked into the bedroom and nodded at Grayson. "Good morning," I said politely.

I sat perched on the edge of his bed. "So, what do you want to do today?" I asked. 

The flight was Friday evening, and we went to Disneyland on Saturday. Today was Sunday, and our flight was at 8 pm. We had the whole day.

He smiled at me, and my I tried stopping my heart from melting like it usually did. No luck there. I sighed internally. This was going to be harder than I thought.

"I was thinking we go back to Disney World," he replied.

"Okay," I agreed.

I slid into the passenger seat. Ethan was driving. That left Melissa and Grayson to sit together in the back. I blinked my eyes to stop myself from tearing up. Stop it, I scolded myself. You don't want to sit with Grayson or Melissa anyway.

I missed Grayson already. I sniffed sadly.

"Are you okay?" asked Grayson.

"I'm great," I said quickly. "Just allergies."

"Tell me what's wrong," Grayson said.

I shook my head. "I'm fine."

Grayson looked worried about me. He had this adorable pouting look on his face. But he didn't say anymore.

"Flight 250 is now boarding," announced the loudspeaker.

"That's us," I said, and got up. 

We walked to the counter, handed the lady our boarding passes, and continued on through the jet bridge that connected the airport to the airplane. 

I sat down in my seat, and before Grayson could sit down next to me, I asked him, "Can I sit with Ethan, please? I need to talk to him about something. Once the plane has taken off, and you're allowed to get up, you two can switch."

"Sure," he agreed, trusting me.

I gave him a hug, and my heart ached when I pulled away. "Thanks," I whispered. I sat back down before he could kiss my forehead.

"What's up?" Ethan asked, sitting down next to me.

I started crying, but covered my face with my hands before anyone else could see me. 

"Are you okay?" Ethan asked, worried.

I bit my bottom lip, to stop it from trembling. "Yeah, sorry. I'm a hot mess right now. I just- I- it's Grayson."

I whispered the last few words, to prevent Melissa and Grayson, who were sitting in front of us, from hearing me.

"What did he do?" Ethan whispered back.

"He and Mel, he was kissing her yesterday-"

"Mel? As in, Melissa?"

"That's the one," I said, giggling shakily

Ethan looked at me sadly. 

"I'm sorry to laugh," I apologized, suddenly aware of the tenseness in him. "Something going on between you too?"

"On the plane ride to here, we, er, kissed. Multiple times, actually. But only on the cheek and forehead" he said awkwardly.

"Oh," I gasped. I didn't see anything happen between them on the plane, but that was probably because I was sleeping. "Yeah, she takes things fast."

"I thought I loved her, but, I don't think she ever loved me," Ethan said.

"Don't say that," I told him. "I'm sure she liked you."

"So they cheated on us for each other?" Ethan frowned.

I nodded. "They were kissing last night. I'm positive."

"Yeah, that wasn't me," he said. "I haven't kissed her in, like, 2 days."
