No Longer The Same

Looking through the car's window it feels as if we never left. All I can see are the same old houses, the same old restaurants and the same old shops. I am all alone in the backseat of the car while my older twin brothers are in the front. Grayson is driving and he is in the middle of a conversation with Ethan but I can't hear what they are talking about, as I'm jamming to Ed Sheeran.
When we moved to the US, our parents promised E and Gray that they could come back for their last school year. They made me the same promise. E and Gray are one year older than me, but they weren't about to leave me behind. So we convinced our parents to let me come one year before.
So here we are on our way to our old big house. Erika, our nanny when we where little, is going to help us out with the cooking and cleaning stuff, as we are on our own. Our parents remained in the big apple, where we had been living for the past three years. They knew how much we missed our old friends and the comforts of a small town. Due to my mom's work they weren't going to join us. Instead, they would visit us once a month.
As we pass through Lola's house, I remember my last nigh in The Hills. The delicious dinner her parents had thrown me and the heart breaking goodbyes. Leaving the only home I ever knew was hard, but leaving my friends and my childhood love was terrible. I wouldn't wish anyone to go through that, not even my worst enemy.
When Gray parks the car in our house's garage, I jump right off the car. Erika greets me at the door. She hugs me and says she can't believe how much I have grown. I hug her back and recall how much she means to me. After all, she is like a second mom to me. She greets the twins with the same affection yet she asks them to behave as she knows about their crazy behavior. I leave for my room in the second floor. As I turn on the lights, I see my room exactly as I left it. Tears flood my eyes as I see the poster's covering my walls and the framed pictures in my nightstand. I swipe away the tears and think about tomorrow, the day I will finally see everyone again.
I grab a hair tie from my bag and tie my hair in a messy bun as I set out to look for the twins. I scream for them through the house but get no answers in return. Erika tells me they are in the men cave and I scream with irritation. Three years ago, they wouldn't let me get near their men cave, but maybe, now that I'm older and we get better along they might.
I knock on the door and E opens it up.
"Whats up?" He asks
"Can I come in" I ask tilting my head and making puppy eyes. E turns to face gray as in asking for permission.
"Sure but just for today" E says and gives me space to enter. I pop on the couch next to gray. He is on his phone chatting with someone and he is smirking. As I'm about to ask him who he is talking to, E interrupts us. He is carrying three glasses of champagne. He hands out one to Gray and one to me but I decline.
"Oh, common Kate" they both say at the same time. creepy.
"Nono guys, you know I don't drink anymore" I say
"But you are with us. Is not like something is gonna happen and it's just one drink" Gray reasons
"I will join you with a coke" I say and walk to the refrigerator. I grab a coke and walk back to the spot I was sitting. E now seats on my other side.
"Well, let's make a toast for us" E says and pulls his glass of champagne up
"The Dolans are back" I say pulling my coke can up
"And The Hills won't even know what hit them" Gray says as we all click our drinks together
