In the End // g.d. ☑️

Grayson's POV:

I pace back and forth in Ethan's room.  I don't know how to handle this, I just need Rowan here right now.  

*beep beep*

Rowan- Hey I'm here but they won't let us in

Me- K I'll be right out

I walk to the hospital lobby and look around till my eyes fall onto Rowan.  She looks up and she sees me.  I start walking over to her, she runs over to me and jumps into my arms.  I hold onto her so tight, I didn't want to let go of her.  I set her down finally and look and see Taylor is here too, she seemed to be unaware of why she was here.

"Hey, I missed you."  I look back down at Rowan.

"I missed you too babe."  I try to smile but it doesn't work, I'm just too distraught by my brother being in a coma to even smile.

"Hello? Is someone gonna tell me why I'm here in the first place when I could be sleeping in my bed."

"Taylor, Ethan-"

"Oh god what did the poor bastard do now?  God he is such an idiot ya know that, he had me and goes and-"

"Taylor, shut up and listen.  Ethan is in a coma."

"What?! When did this happen?"

"He drank himself into one after he couldn't tell you what actually happened the night y'all broke up."

"He did what?  This is all my fault, if I wasn't so god damn stubborn all the time, none of this would have happened."

"Tay this isn't your fault."

"Yes it is," she looks up at me, "Can I see him?"  I nod my head and we all walk to his room.

"This is it, head inside.  Rowan and I are gonna go grab some food and we will be right back."  All she does is nod her head and goes inside.

I turn back to Rowan and put my hands on her waist and pull her closer to me.  I kiss her nose and she scrunches up her nose and giggles at me.  "So did you say food?"

"Hm I think I did,  I heard the cafeteria food here is killer."

"Wow I love the sarcasm in your voice, it's really quite entertaining."

"I mean we don't have to get the cafeteria food, there is a McDonald's right across the street."

"Sounds better than cafeteria food at this point."

"Alright then let's go."  I grab her hand and we start our little walk to McDonald's.  

---

"Hi, welcome to McDonald's."

"Hi, can I get a sweet tea and two 10-count chicken nuggets please."

"Alright, anything for you sir?"

"Um, yeah can I get a chocolate shake and a number one."

"Alright will that be all for you today?"

"Yep."

"Ok just swipe your card when you're ready."  I take out my card and swipe it.

"Hey I wanted to pay, Gray." She scrunches up her nose and tries to look mad, but she just looked adorable doing that.

"Sorry you weren't quick enough." I chuckle at her mad expression but it softens and she just shakes her head at me and smiles.  Our food comes soon enough and we walk back to the hospital to meet back with Taylor and see how Ethan is doing.

---

I knock on Ethan's door.  We didn't hear anything so I opened the door.  Taylor was sleeping next to Ethan on the bed.  We backed out of the room slowly making sure not to wake her up.  "They looked so cute."

"Yeah too bad they broke up."

"Yeahhh, when he wakes up he needs to tell her everything."

"I know, for both their sakes.  Wanna eat?"

"Um yes, is that even a question."  I chuckle at her response and we head to the cafeteria to eat our food.

---

"Grayson, how can you say that you like the Steelers when the Saints exist or in fact any other team besides them?"

"Because, that's my team.  I've been rooting them on for forever.  Give me a break babe."  She laughs and I swear when she does the entire world stops.   I love her little laugh, it's so cute and adorable.  "Grayson?  Hello?  Earth to Grayson?"

"Oh shit, sorry." I say snapping out of my thoughts.

"Ya good there?  What were you thinking bout?"  She tilts her head a little bit and smirks a little.

"Oh ya know nothing really.  Just stuff."

"Mhmm, I'll get it out of you soon enough Bailey."  I chuckle at her little interrogation line.  I hear some sort of screams or yelling.  We both look at each other and see Taylor running into the cafeteria. 

"HE'S UP!" she yells and turns back and runs towards his room again.  Rowan and I look at each other and grab our stuff and run back to his room.  When we get there Rowan is out of breath, I'm breathing a little hard but not to bad. 

"Hey, little bro, hey Rowan. What's up guys?"
