Chapter 66: Reflection

Courtney's POV:

Let's fast forward a year.

You would never believe me if I told you what the past year of my life has entailed for me.

Let's start with the biggest thing: the twins channel. Let's just say it blew up. Big time.
They now have fans all over the world, I mean, not just in America!!

Their videos get crazier every week I swear and have included things such as: skydiving, tattoos , going through car washes, and so much more absolutely insane stuff.

I'm still shook to the core as to why anyone would ever watch a YouTube video with these two losers in it, let alone want to meet them!

So here we are. 4OU 2016. Wow. What an experience is all I can say. We have currently done ten shows here in the US which have been so freaking incredible and the atmosphere is one of such warmth and companionship, while being hype as shit at the same time. On the road with my two favourite boys in the whole world.

I stand backstage while they do their shows, and in case you're wondering, the fans do know about me, and that I'm Grayson's girlfriend. I get a little stick from some of the crazier fans sometimes, but the majority of them are so supportive and lovely, and some of them I met on the tour as well, although I obviously didn't have a separate meet up.

I've always decided, well, Grayson and I decided that while I shouldn't be a secret from the fans, I should in a way stay out of the way for the most part, which sounds terrible but it's honestly not. All that it means is that I'm not in any of their videos (although I am mentioned) and I'm not in their show or anything. I just help them film, come up with ideas sometimes, and when needed, I help pick out the questions or whatever for videos, as well as being their personal photographer. I am in their instagrams or snapchats occasionally, and this is honestly the way I want it to be, in fact, I think it's so perfect and I am honestly so happy.

Which brings me on to the next topic: Grayson. Grayson Dolan. The love of my life, one of my best friends and my partner in crime. We have now been dating for 18 months, which although it sounds cliché, have been the best 18 months of my life, and I'm sure he would say the same.

Many dates, adventures and inside jokes later and somehow, we're still not bored of each other. Don't ever ask me how, but I genuinely love the kid.

Unfortunately not everything ended happily: take Jas and Ethan for example. Nothing particularly dramatic happened, but she had to move away, to Texas, and although they desperately tried to make things work, they just couldn't. She came to the Houston show and we all caught up afterwards and it was really nice, a little awkward, but just like old times.

She's still in our main group chat, and we talk frequently on there, but seeing as she left 5 months ago, communication has become less frequent. She's made new friends in Texas and sounds so happy. We're all happy for her, even Ethan, especially Ethan.

It really hurt him though. I feel really bad for the kid, he had found such an amazing girl, but it just didn't work out. They don't always. 'High school romances' usually don't work out; Grayson and I just got lucky, and Ethan knows that.

I took Ethan out on a 'Courtney and Ethan date' where we went to Starbucks and I bought him the biggest (and most expensive) Frappuccino they had with syrup and sprinkles and marshmallows and it was the most sickly thing I've ever tasted but it made Ethan happy for a while, which was a good break from all the crying.

Let's see, what else? Oh yeah, I too dropped out of school. I was really hesitant at first because I've always dreamed of going to Harvard or Yale or something to become a doctor but I guess our dreams can change. And I am so much happier I believe.

We just decided that it was impossible for me to help the twins out so much with their channel at the same time as being a full-time student so I did some online schooling as well.

My parents were much harder to convince, I mean, they said absolutely not at first and how I 'couldn't throw my life away for a boy' and how 'this internet thing won't last', however once they realised how big they were getting, how much money they were making from it, and how happy I was, they finally agreed.

The next hurdle in terms of both of our parents was the tour situation. Our parents met together with some other people to plan the whole thing, and it was agreed that I could go as long as Kyle the bodyguard 'keeps an eye on Grayson and Courtney' which made us all laugh. It was also agreed that I'd have a separate hotel room and we had to come home whenever possible.

We're back in Jersey at the moment, and reflecting back on this year, although sad in some parts, all three of us would agree that it's been the best year of our life and we're so happy to have one another.

Who knows what the future will entail...
