Okay let me just start off by saying, this is not how I pictured my life going. My name is Emmarie Ethridge. I am 19 and hardly ready to live in this world of adulthood I'm being thrown into. At the moment I live in a town in Colorado named Loveland...
I woke up feeling super droggy, I looked around, I was in the hospital. I looked down to see Gray asleep, with his hood up, holding my hand. Ethan was across the room in a chair asleep.
What happened to me?

I turned my head and saw a clock above the door, it read 3:54 AM.
I tried processing what happened, I remember leaving the beach...
It was coming back to me, I wrecked. I was texting Grayson and then I saw Brecken. Where's Brecken?
The nurse outside of my room must have saw me looking around in confusion, she walked in knocking lightly on the door, not waking the guys. "Emmarie, how are you feeling sweetheart," she came over and started checking my bandages on my arm, "Are you experiencing any pain?"
I didn't feel anything, I was numb, and distracted with confusion, "Where's my sister? Is she okay? Where's Brecken?"
She smiled at me, "Brecken is just fine, I believe your brother is upstairs with her now. She has very minimal injury's, but I need to know if you are experiencing any pain."
I was relieved to hear that Breck was okay, "What about my baby?!" I started to panic as the thought came to my head.
"The baby is okay, and will be as long as you are, so I need to know how you are feeling Emmarie." I could tell she was getting frustrated with me.
"I feel okay; my chest is hurting a little but not too much..."
She smiled at me once again, "That would be due to your broken ribs, there are two on your left side and 1 on the right, so you should try not to move as much as you can, I'll go ahead and give you some pain killers, to ease the pain." I nodded as she grabbed a needle and medicine from the side of my bed. "This might hurt a little, I'm going to just need to lift you up a so I can put this in your side."
She helped me roll to my side so I was facing my sleeping boyfriend, I started to wonder how long he had been here.
"okay are you ready?" The nurse asked me.
I nodded, "yes." She stuck the needle in my side, pain shot through my body and I gripped onto Gray's hand tighter than ever. "owe" I whined in pain...
Grayson woke up at the sound of my whimper, "Emma... Are you okay?"
He sat up quickly grabbing onto me and placing his hand on my cheek, "I'm okay Gray..." I smiled at him, and he returned one as he let out a sigh of relief.
"Sorry sweetheart, I know it hurts," the nurse said as she disposed of the need she had just injected me with. "The medicine should kick in soon, try to get some rest." She walked out of the room closing the door behind her.
I rolled back, so I was no longer on my side. I looked over to see Grayson staring at me as a tear fell onto his cheek, "Baby, why are you crying?" I squeezed his hand.
