GREYSON'S POV

I was undeniably tired after a long night. Ariana left me in the driveway abruptly, saying that she was tired. And instead of going to bed, I stayed there for a while, trying to process what just happened because I didn't understand why she was upset. She still wouldn't tell me anything about it, brushing it off whenever I asked, but it was starting to stress me out.

Friday, was the day of my parents' party and it was fun. For a decent amount of my time there, I was setting off fireworks alongside Liam, Logan, Jonas, Jordan, my Dad, Frankie, and Bella in the backyard. I didn't see Ariana much, since she was trying to avoid me as best as she could, but eventually towards the end of the night, she was incredibly drunk, as was most of the party. Because of that, pretty much everyone stayed over at my parent's house since no one was able to drive. Although we hadn't had a drink, Logan and I stayed, considering we were nervous that someone would still try to head home and almost no one was in the right state of mind to do so.

Two days later on the 6th, I had a flight to Aspen, Colorado. Here, Everett was working out a deal with a director. She called about a movie that she wanted Jack and I to star in, so they needed us there when they drew up contracts to get them signed.

Heading into the lobby doors, my security and bellboys stayed behind to help with our bags. The resort they asked us to come to was a pretty well-known spot to other celebrities, so I wasn't very worried about my security while I was there.

"Hey, how was the flight?" Everett asked, spotting us immediately as he walked over, embracing Jack and I in hugs.

"Not bad actually." Jack smiled, pulling away from him. "Please don't tell me we have something to do though, I literally haven't slept since my parent's 4th of July party."

"Same here," I said, which was true. I spent most of the fifth recovering from the party and packing to leave early this morning for our flight here.

"You guys better get your sleep schedules together, I think this movie is a go." Our agent explained, referring to the producer and their movie company. "You two have been killing it this year! They're offering up to 80 for Jack and 88 for you, G. At this pace, by next year, you both should be getting paid around 100 million for roles alone."

Jack shook her head, with a smile resting on her face still. "You're good, Ev,"

"I know," He chuckled, before turning to look at the receptionist calling him from their desk. "Oh! I got your rooms, too," He motioned for Ariana to come join us as we followed him over to the desk. She came over, carefully standing in between Everett and Jack. "Okay so, I assumed Jack and Greyson wanted to share one, so Jordan and Zeke, Safiya and Ariana, Nolan and Izaak will room together."

"Everett, have you ever traveled with us ever?" I said, raising my eyebrow. "Plus, we won't need rooms for anyone but Ariana, Jack, and I, everyone else is leaving tonight."

"Oh damn, I thought they were staying and not really, I usually get there before you guys do so this is my first time doing rooms. Usually, Ruth does, but she's out sick." Ruth was his assistant, I loved her, she was always really sweet and on top of things. "We'll just do these rooms temporarily and then when they leave tonight, you'll have separate ones."

"He's an amateur," Jack sighed, shaking her head. "These are the worst room pairings, Ev,"

"What's so bad about them?"
