Change Me •Ethan Dolan•

Three

6 hours later

"Ethan Dolan." One of the nurses called out and I shot up out of my seat, "Thats me." I said as I went up to her, "Lea had to go through surgery, they just finished she should be okay, but she has to stay for one week then she can be discharged. The anesthesia will wear off in about an hour so you can visit her when shes awake." She smiled at me, "Thank you." I said, and walked back to the seats ive been sitting in for what feels like an eternity, Jack and Grayson showed up two hours after I called, completely drunk. "What'd they say?" Jack asked me, "She had to go through surgery, she has to stay for a week, and we cant visit her until she wakes up." I told him, he put his head in his hands and sighed, "This is all my fault." He sounded like he was going to cry, "Ethan if you werent there she wouldve died." He looked up at me with tears in his eyes, "Jack it wasnt your fault, you just wanted to have fun, and she couldnt stop drinking." I told him, "She wouldnt have drank so much if I didnt tell her to come with me." His voice cracked and a couple of tears fell, "Its okay buddy." Grayson said and patted him on the back. We all sat back in our chairs amd waited for my name to be called again, only 45 minutes to wait.

"Ethan Dolan." The nurse finally came in, this time we all shot out of our seats and ran towards her. "Right this way boys." She said and we all followed her to the room she was in. "You can go first." I told Jack and gave him a hug before he entered.

Jack's P.O.V.

I walked in to Lea's hospital room. She had tubes coming from everywhere. I sat down next to her and grabbed her hand, "I dont even have to ask why." I said after a couple minutes of silence, she started to cry, "Jack, I dont want to be here anymore." She sobbed, "Lea-" I started but she cut me off, "Listen, Jack. Itd be easier, more room in the apartment, more money, and you wouldnt have to pay the hospital bill that is going to come." She told me, "Do you know how that would affect me? Life without my bestfriend? Lea you're all I have! Youre my family! When are you going to fucking get it in your brain that life wouldnt be easier without you?! Cause without you id be fucking dead or fuck I dont know!" I yelled which cause her to cry more, "Jack Im alone. Youre always gone its not like you see me anyways. I have no one. No one to talk to, nothing! Cause youre always fucking gone!" She yelled back, "Trying to make our lives better Lea!" I told her, "Im in pain Jack, Id rather be fucking dead right now then dealing with this! You know what their going to do with me after this? Send me to a fucking Mental Hospital for a month. A fucking month Jack! I get beat up at school everyday, Im made fun of, taken as a fucking joke. Hell my whole life is a joke! Why couldnt you just let me die!" She cried, I shook my head, "I didnt save you." I mumbled, "Who did?" She asked, "Ethan." I told her, "I want to talk to him." She demanded. "Okay, I love you." I told her then kissed her forehead and walked out, "She wants you." I told Ethan and walked away.

Lea's P.O.V.

I watched Jack go up to Im guessing Ethan and walk away,

He was the one just staring at you when you left your bedroom

I watched him walk in, he sat down next to me, "Why did you help me." I asked after a couple seconds of silence, "I wasnt going to let you just die." He  said and looked at me with wide eyes, "Theyre putting me in a mental hospital for a month!" I yelled to him, "Do you know how terrifying it was to watch what happened to you?! Your eyes were rolling to the back of your head, then youd randomly start screaming, then you go back to lifeless!" He told me, I started to cry, "Its traumatizing, and I left Jack and Grayson at the party, they showed up two hours after I called them, and they were drunk." He informed me, "You couldve left me." I said, "No I couldnt have.... look at me." He said but I didnt look at him, I didnt want to. "Lea look at me." He said again but I still didnt listen, he put his hand on my cheek and turned my head to look at him, I started to cry again, "I have been waiting at this hospital for seven hours to make sure you are okay, I barely know you, I didnt even know your last name until I called jack to get information for the doctors. But I still waited seven hours, because I needed to know that you were okay." He said with his hand still on my cheek, wiping off the tears that were falling. "So, are you okay?" He asked as he stared into my eyes, I shook my head, "N-No."
