i had a call coming in, from grayson.
i hesitated, but decided that answering the call would be a good idea. "hello?"
"hey, mase!" grayson sounded awfully cheerful, for some reason.
i looked over at ginger, and pressed the speaker button on the phone. "you're on speaker, i'm with ginger."
it was so weird, i could almost hear grayson smiling. he was in a really fucking good mood, i guess.
must be nice.
"hey, ginger. i have some really good news, are you ready to hear it?"
i bit the inside of my cheek, and nodded. "yeah, go ahead."
"well first of all, you need to get dressed."
for what?
"um, why?" i had no idea what was going on.
grayson cleared his throat. "ETHAN'S ALLOWED TO HAVE VISITORS NOW!! WE'RE ALL TAKING YOU TO GO SEE HIM!"
ginger's eyes widened, and so did mine.
what was i supposed to tell him? i couldn't tell him that i was pregnant, could i?
nonetheless, i was extremely excited. nervous, but excited.
"THAT'S GREAT NEWS!! i'll get dressed right now."
i didn't want to ruin any of the progress that ethan had made. i couldn't be responsible for him falling apart again.
i hung up, and tore a page out of my journal.
"i think that i'm going to write him a letter... it might put a little less pressure on him. i don't want to put him on the spot."
ginger slung her arm over my shoulder, and smiled. "you're so sweet, mase. you two are lucky to have each other, you're such a good match."
i gave ginger a tiny smile, before getting back to writing. "are you sure that you're going to be fine on your own? we've been hanging out almost everyday recently... i just don't want to leave you–"
ginger shook her head, and folded her arms. "you're going to visit your boyfriend, mase. i am so happy for you, you deserve this. i'm gonna spend some time with brax and serena."
i folded my letter into a rectangle, and stuffed it in a pink envelope before sliding it into the tiny stack.
ginger admired my stack of letters. "this is so sweet, i love the fact that the envelopes are colorful."
i grinned, and held them up. "i think that he could really use a splash of color right now."

when we got to the rehab center, we were lead outside, to a giant garden area.
ethan was the first person i saw. he was sitting with another teenage boy, and laughing.
i really missed his laugh.
his hair had gotten a little longer, it was starting to flip at the ends. his hair was completely brown, which was a strange sight to see. all the time i had known him, he had somewhat of a white blond streak in the front. he was wearing his favorite lavender sweatshirt, and he had shaved off his stubble.
"ethan, you have visitors!"
his eyes immediately lit up when he saw us. he said something to his friend, before getting out of his seat.
my heart pounded more and more, the closer he got to us.
i didn't think that he would greet me first, but i was completely wrong.
"MASEY!" he ran over, picked me up, and spun me around.
i was starting to feel a little nauseous. "you're making me motion sick." i giggled, and wrapped my arms around him.
he gave me a quick kiss, before putting me down. "what are those?" he was pointing at the letters in my hand.
"oh these? these are for you, read them later." i handed them over, and sighed happily as he wrapped his arms around me.
"i missed you so much."
grayson and cameron coughed, and we turned to face them.
cameron crossed her arms, and smirked. "hello, ethan!! we exist, too."
ethan rolled his eyes playfully, and let go of me. "look, it's my second and third favorite people in the world."
"fuck you," grayson laughed.
they had a little group hug, which was super cute.
ethan looked around, and knotted his brows together. "where are mom and dad?"
grayson was basically glued to his brother. "they'll be here a little later, they're so proud of you. we all are."
ethan held his hand out, and waited for me to take it.
when i took his hand, he pulled me in and wrapped his arm around my waist. "thank you all so much for being here for me. despite all of this, i really am the luckiest guy in the whole world. i love all of my little losers."
