ALISSAS POV
a very nice nurse guided me to room 108 and she helped me with feeling calm and steading my breathing.
i swear we have been walking the same hall for 20 minutes and i have been crying non-stop since grayson told m-
"we are here sweetheart" i snapped out of my trance and forced back to the nurse. i gave her a small smile and she left.
i looked through the small window and i saw cords and machines hooked up to ethans body.
tears are now streaming down my face and i am slowly walking through the room to ethan. i sat down in a seat closer to him and took his hand tightly.
i rose his hand to my lips and placed a gentle kiss onto his hand.
"i miss you" i whispered. i felt a small tingle on my hand which made me stare at ethans hand. it was tighter than before.
can he hear me? is he awake and okay?
"e-eth-ethan i just want to say i uh i love you a lot it's unexplainable so just please come back to me and to grayson. if you don't wake up we will all be lost and i can't have that happen. just come back grip onto something and come back. find your anchor"
i slowly got up and walked back to the waiting room to be gripped into a hug by my mom, causing me to fall down in tears. grayson slid down next to me and could i feel his warm tears on my shoulder.
i opened my eyes slightly and show a few people looking at us like we are three lost dying puppies.
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK I AM DYING. IVE LOST ENOUGH TEARS THAT I CANT BREATHE.
"awe gray your so cute when your crying" i said slightly laughing causing gray to look me in the eyes with a smile that is well needed at this moment.
"how about we go back to your apartment grayson, i think you two need some rest. we can come back tomorrow" my mom suggested and we both nodded. grayson helped me up and i got my bag and we left in graysons car.

we arrived at ethan and graysons apartment block and gray led us up to his apartment.
he slid the key into the hole and unlocked the door slowly.
"um mrs.re-"
"oh please call me Kristen or Kriss" grayson slowly nodded and continued what he was saying.
"well you can sleep in um my moms room and uh Ali you can sleep in ethans bed?" he questioned in a way.
"uh of course only if your ok with that?" he nodded once again and left my mom and i to unpack our things.
"mom can you stay here, i'm going to go comfort grayson?"
"of course sweet heart i can make some soup?" i nodded to her question and went to find graysons room.
as i was walking down the hall to find grayson, i heard his quiet sobs. i speed walked toward the sound and made a stop in front of a room, aqua blue and white mostly.
grayson was hugging a pillow as he was looking at a photo frame, i think it was of ethan and graysons sobs were getting loudly.
GRAYSONS POV
why?
why does this have to happened to him, to ethan?
his my best friend and frankly one of my only friends. he's my brother.
i almost ran into my room and let mrs. reed and alissa to settle in. i've been crying for over 20 minutes i think now, it feels like forever.
c r e a k
i looked up from the pillow to my door.
there stood alissa.
when she saw my face she ran over and embraced me into a warm hug.
here we go again, being the big wimp i am i cry again.
"sshhhh" she whispered while rubbing my back in a circular motion. "it's gonna be ok, we just gotta keep the wishes going" she slowly moved me back with her small arms. "okay?"
"ok" she pulled me back into one last hug and got up and left.
minutes later she came back and placed her suitcase onto ethans bed.
"should i-uh i ring a-ash? i questioned which caused lis to turn on her heel.
"i can do it if you want?" she asked and i nodded handing her the home phone.
i rested my head back down on my damp pillow and closed my eyes only to hear the faint noise of alissas voice.
ALISSAS POV
i just got off the phone with Ashley and she was really upset, mainly asking if grayson was ok.
i really don't think he is.
i heard his small snores and walk over to him. i placed a nice big blanket over the top of him and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"night gray" i took a step backward and noticed something on graysons face, that i've not noticed before.
i walked back over and gently lifted his face up from the pillow.
"oh" i said with a slight laugh. it was just marks on his face from being squished against the pillow. he's face wasn't permanently stained but still red.
i felt really sorry for him, i can't even imagine what this is like for him.
i tucked myself in to ethans bed after saying goodnight to my mom and slowly drifted off to sleep.
