I woke up to a loud knock on my door and Delirious yelling something at me. He had refused to let me sleep with him in his bed last night. I assumed he just wanted me to get up so I got up and opened my phone. 4 am? God it's early. I guess I better call the hospital.

I dialed the nearby hospital number and asked the lady who answered if Ethan was still in a room.

"He is in a coma and not expected to make it." The lady replied kind of straight forward. I thanked her and got myself ready. This is so great! Delirious is going to be so relieved.

I stepped outside my room to Delirious standing there with his arms crossed. "I called the hospital-"

"So did I." Delirious cut me off. "Let's go please?"

"Yeah I'm sorry. We should have gone last night." I admitted. God damnit. This is all my fucking fault. We walked downstairs and to the car without a word. This is going to be a long ride.

We arrived at the hospital about an hour later. Delirious rushed ahead of me and asked the front desk if we could see Ethan. "I'm sorry sir but it's only for family."

"But Ethan doesn't have any family. It's just us." Delirious said. Since when did he know the guy so well?

"Ok I'm not supposed to do this. But I'll let you guys off the hook." The guy behind the desk quietly said. "Follow me."

We followed him to a room and he opened the door and us three stepped in.

"Thanks for doing this for us, uh, Dave." I said looking at his name plate.

"No problem. Just no touching anything and if anyone asks, you two are his kids or something." Dave said and left to return to the front desk.

Ethan had a cast on his left arm and had his eyes closed. A heart monitor kept a steady beat beside him making a beeping noise. Delirious stood next to him.

"Do you want me to step outside?" I asked.

"No, it's alright. You might get caught if you do step outside anyway." He sighed and kneeled down beside Ethan. "I don't know if you can hear me Ethan. It's Jonathan. I just wanted to thank you. Evan's here with me. I don't think he would be here without you." Delirious looked at the floor. I could almost hear him tearing up.

"Yeah, I didn't know you for long Ethan." I said stepping forward. "But thank you."

The heart monitor suddenly got faster. I swear I could see Ethan tense up. His heart beat got faster and faster. I lounged for the door to the hallway and opened it. "WE NEED A DOCTOR!" I yelled. Immediately three doctors came swarming in and started using all kinds of machines. Delirious backed away and grabbed my hand.

"He's coming to!" A doctor yelled out and soon Ethan's eyes flustered. His heart beat slowly turned to normal. The doctors did a quick cheer and escorted us out into the hall. One female doctor with long black hair stayed in the room and explained everything to Ethan. We watched from the window as the doctor did final tests on Ethan and then came out into the hallway. She smiled at us. "He asked to see you two, but he's very unstable. There's a very good chance he is going to make it, but he needs to rest while we run some more tests."

"When can we talk to him?" Delirious asked.

"Unfortunately, not anytime today. If you can give us your phone numbers we can call you with updates if you would like." The doctor replied. She pulled out a clipboard and Delirious wrote his phone number down on it.

"Thank you." She said smiling at Delirious. I instantly got a bad feeling about her. It's just in your head. She's doing her job. "I didn't catch your name?" She asked Delirious.

"Jonathan."

"Well is it okay to call you John?" She asked stepping a bit closer. That's enough.

I pretended to look at my watch. "Well we better go, Jonathan." I forced myself to say Delirious's name, I was so used to calling him Delirious it felt weird. "We'll be back here in the morning." I nodded to the doctor and grabbed Delirious's arm.

"Hey what was that about?" He asked me when we were outside the building.

"Nothing." I replied. "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Just pick somewhere." Delirious said getting into my car. After five minutes of driving he dozed off into sleep.
