We finally reach the hospital, my chest pain growing worse by the minute. I could breathe, thank God, it just hurt really bad to. I mean, I have lung cancer, this ain't a huge shock.
Ethan slings the door open, jumps out, & carries me inside, running.
"Help! She-she has lung cancer & her chest is really hurting & she can't breathe." By the time Ethan finishes, they have a gurney over to me & E lays me down.
He kisses my forehead & they roll me back into a room.
Meredith's POV
Gosh, I'm so scared something might happen. I don't know what I'd do without MaKena. She's my best friend.
Gray & I run into the hospital, catching a glance at 3 doctors rolling her in a gurney, taking her behind two double doors. Ethan turns around & catches my eye.
"She'll be okay, bro." Grayson tries to comfort Ethan. He seemed so... numb.
"What if something happens?" He whispers, making his way over to a waiting room.
We sit down, with me in the middle.
"Nothing will happen. Do you know how strong she is? If we weren't there, she probably would've just dealt with the pain on her own. She wouldn't have even said anything about it." I tell Ethan while I rub his back.
He leans forward, throwing his head in his hands. His body starts to lightly shake, so I know he's crying. He sniffles a few times, then sits back up.
"Bro, I promise she'll be okay." Gray says.
"Grayson's right." I whisper to Ethan.
"I'll be right back." Ethan stands up & says. He walks out of the waiting room.
"She'll be okay, right?" I say to Grayson.
"She will." He says. He leans in & kisses my forehead.
"I'm right here through everything." He whispers to me.
"Thank you, Gray." I tell him, resting my forehead against his.
Ethan's POV
I couldn't stand the sympothy they were giving me so I had to leave. I had to see her. If I didnt, I think I'd go crazy.
I walk down the hallway to a desk, hoping they'd give me some answers. I look at the lady & she smiles at me.
"I'm looking for someone. I brought her in about an hour ago. I just need to know she's okay." I tell her, getting anxious.
"Okay, hun. What's her name?" She says, already typing into the computer.
"Um, MaKena Bradshaw."
She types away on the keypad & searches through files (I'm guessing that's what she's doing).
"Okay, I have here that the doctors have her in a room, she's stable, but she's under a lot of medicine so she's probably not awake." The oldish lady tells me.
"okay, thank you. So does that mean I can go see her?" I ask her, hope filling my voice.
"Of course, hun. She's in room 564." She tells me & I run off.
I totally forget about Gray & Mere, but keep running when I remember.
560, 561, 562, 563, AHA 564. I quietly walk in & see MaKena laying there, she looks dead honestly.
Her face is pale, there's tube running down her hospital gown, & she has fluids pumping in her. I walk over to her & kiss her forehead.
"Please be okay." I whisper, resting my forehead on hers.
"Are you family?" I hear a voice ask.
I turn around to find a nurse.
"Um, not exactly. I'm her boyfriend. I'm the one who brought her here." I tell the nurse.
"Okay, well I saw you walk in & I figured I'd come fill you in. You seemed anxious." She laughs.
I chuckle, "Yeah."
The nurse pulls out a file from the table beside Makena's bed.
"Okay, so it says here that she should be okay. They did an x-ray & it showed that there was just too much pressure on her lungs, which is why she had trouble breathing." She tells me, still reading the file.
"So, when can we leave? She'll be okay? When will she wake up? Do we need to come back any time soon just to make sure she's okay?" I ask her, seeming to overwhelm her.
"When she wakes up, she will be a little weak from all the medicine she had. She will be okay, & you'll need to schedule an appointment for probably 2-3 weeks from now, just to make sure her lungs are okay." She answers all my questions so I smile at her.
"Thank you so much." I say & she nods, leaving the room.
I take my phone out & text Gray, telling him where I am. I figured they would be getting worried soon. They might wanna see MaKena.
Minutes pass while I wait for Grayson & Meredith. I stare at MaKena in awe, even seeing her like this she still manages to look gorgeous.
Grayson & Meredith come walking in, & when Meredith sees her best friend lying on the bed, she loses it.
Meredith's POV
oh my...
I see MaKena looking so lifeless & pale. She's always happy, full of life, energetic & just... alive.
I've never seen her like this so I just lose it.
I back up to the wall, sliding down it. I put my head in my knees & start crying. I feel a hand on my head & I figure it's Grayson.
She's going to be okay. She has to be.
