Love Triangle

Calling Claire

Ella's POV:

Grayson and I wait outside the room for an hour until the doctor invites us inside. "What's going on?" I question straight away. "Is he going to be okay?" Grayson nudges me, basically telling me to shut up.

"Ethan has fallen into a coma, which he will probably awaken from in a few days, things are looking good for him. His blood pressure is normal. If he moves his fingers or something like that tomorrow it's a good sign. Talk to him." The doctor explains before leaving.

Grayson and I spend the whole day talking and sitting by Ethan's side. I fall asleep on the armchair next to Ethan's bed.

The next morning I'm awoken by Grayson. "Wh.. what?" I murmur.

"Claire is calling you, she's probably worried." Grayson says, handing me my phone.

"Where the hell are you? Your schools been ringing me all day! You haven't been there for two days! Why aren't you at the house!?" She yells.

"I'm at he hospital! You'd know if you were ever home or picked up your phone but instead your out getting drunk!" I shout at her before hanging up.

"You want to talk about it?" Grayson asks.

"Not really." I sigh.

"You should go to school, you shouldn't miss out on your education due to my stupidity." Grayson says.

"I'm good, thanks. Abby's sending me the homework. I'm keeping on top of it, I'm responsible." I explain.

"I know." Grayson says.

"Just wake me if something happens." I drift back off to sleep but am frequently disturbed by my phone ringing, I just ignore it and put it on silent.

I must of been really tired because the next time I wake up it's four pm. "Wow was I really asleep that long?" I question.

"Yeah. Almost twenty hours." Grayson replies.

"Any progress?" I ask Grayson about Ethan.

"His eyes twitched and he muttered something before." Grayson replies.

"That's great! Did you tell a doctor?" I ask.

"Yeah, they said it's great and to keep them updated. By the way Claire's been spamming you." Grayson replies.

"I guess I should call her, I just can't face her right now." I sigh.

"I can do it, just explain to her what's happened and where you are, if you want?" Grayson asks.

"Thanks." I reply, handing Grayson my phone. He takes it and walks outside, calling Claire.

"E... lla." Ethan mumbles which makes me so happy.

"I'm here baby, I love you so much, hold on to that." I smile, holding his hand.

********

Shortly after Grayson comes back and hands me my phone. "How'd she take it?" I ask him.

"She's calling the school to tell them but she seemed okay." He replies.

Ethan's POV: yeah that's right, Ethan.

This is horrible, I can hear everything Grayson and Ella are saying but I just can't respond, I can't even open my eyes, in fact that's one of the hardest things to do. All I want is to see Ella's beautiful face but I can, I can barely feel her touch. Grayson's got the charm turned on and I don't like that but I trust Ella, she wouldn't twin swap? Would she?
