chapter 26

(  hospital  )
























































ethan felt like he was in hell. or, what he imagined hell felt like — and that included pain. lots of it. as soon as ethan's eyes fluttered even the smallest crack open, it was like someone was purposefully shining a bright light into his eyes.

he clenched his eyes closed for a second, a small groan leaving his lips followed by a short hiss. they slowly opened once more; this time allowing them to settle to the blazing source. they finally settled.

the ceiling was nothing but blank, a pure white colour. the sound of a beep after a beep after a beep was almost deafening, yet it pained him too much to turn his head to try and figure out whatever it was. yet, he managed to crack his head down every so slightly.

and by the looks of it, he was buried underneath blankets of a hospital bed. the room was mainly blanked, a door in the corner followed by a few chairs. with a small pinch of pain, he managed to turn his neck to the side — a heart monitor stood tall, almost cowering over him. the wooden bedside table that sat beside him was coated in all sorts of flowers and cards.

he paused momentarily. that was until all the memories came flooding back to him. the ballet studio, going to find bella's mom, bella, james being there, the fighting, the videoing, ethan killing james—

"ethan?" a tired and masculine voice forced him out of his thoughts. the jaylin boy slowly cranked his neck back to the door, and ethan was able to recognise that blonde hair from a mile away. "jasper?" the brunette hummed back, his voice croaky and scratchy — almost raw.

the two boys held eye contact for a second. or, that was until ethan broke the silence, "you gonna keep standing there or are you gonna come hug me or some shit?" how typical. jasper couldn't help but chuckle lightly before wizzing to his side.

"are you okay?" jasper didn't amuse ethan's joking tone, merely focusing on the fact that he was awake and the obvious look of his injuries. the brunette nodded his head, "i've felt better." he mumbled with a shrug.

"do you remember what happened?" jaspers eyes searched ethan's, as if looking for some sort of truth within them — or lie, but he could always tell when ethan was lying anyways. the brunette sighed.

he hummed before responding. "mmm yeah. parts of it." he shrugged, despite the wither of pain that emitted through the movement. the room was silent for a moment, save for the constant beeping of the heart monitor. jasper was next to sigh, his eyes dipping down to the gloves that hide ethan's hands, and ethan knew exactly why he was looking there.
