The Adopted One (Dolan Twins)

"Can I tell you something?"

Lenas POV:

"Ethan?" I ask quietly as I wake up in someones arms.

"No honey that's Gray." Lisa says smiling.

"Grayson?" I repeat obviously confused. I try to push myself up to look for Ethan put a horrible pain shoots through my arms. I fall back on the bed and cause Grayson to stir.

"Oh God Lena be careful! Are you okay?"

"Where are we?" I ask quietly looking around the room.

"We're in the hospital."

"What? Why?"

"Lena, what do you remember?"

"I remember saying I didn't feel good and going upstairs. Then I did a lot of crying because of some stuff..." I say trailing off towards the end.

"That's all you remember?" She asked with a look of pain in her eyes.

"Lena look at your arms. You don't remember how that happened?" She asked. It's like she was begging me to know. I look down at my arms and they're wrapped in white bandages. It takes me a minute to process that the bandages are a shade of dark red not white.

"Di-did I d-do this?" I stutter.

"Yes." Lisa says quietly.

"Why would I do this? Why would I do this to myself?" I almost shout.

"Lena we don't know. We were hoping you could tell us." Cameron says from a corner on the other side of the room.

"I-I don't know..." I whisper. The feeling of tears forming cause me to stop talking. I try to swallow the lump in my throat but I can't.

"Do you think I can have a minute?" I ask trying my hardest to get the words out without choking on them.

"Sure." Lisa say waking up Sean. She goes to wake the boys next.

"No they're fine let them be." I whisper. Lisa's hand hovers over Ethans back.

"I think we should take them to the cafeteria to eat." She says not meeting my eyes.

"Please." I plead quietly.

"Okay." She says while walking over to me. She kisses the top of my head and leads the way out of the room. As soon as I hear the door click shut my tears spill.

"Why would I do this." I sob to myself.

"Okay Lena think. What happened? Remember what happened!" I continue to talk to myself until a few of my thoughts begin to form.

Okay so I remember being upset about Grayson. I remember thinking of my parents and feeling like I had lost them again. And I remember thinking about loosing the twins. Then I think I started crying.

"Think Lena, Think!"

Oh and shit I lost it... Oh got it I remember I was feeling guilty about Ethan and um.... Come on. Oh and I felt stupid for pretending I was fine.... That's all I remember.

After a while of thinking I remember all I can and my thoughts eventually can't be heard over my sobs. I sit myself up and it hurts like hell in the process. I get myself as comfortable as you can get while crying in a hospital bed. Then Grayson shifts beside me.

I will myself to get as quiet as I can manage and just wait. When I'm sure he's still asleep, I put my head in my hands and just continue to let it all out. I choke and I cough and I sob and I gasp for air. After about fifteen or twenty minutes of consistent crying I think I run out of tears because suddenly I just stop. And when I do stop I feel a tingle in my thigh. I ignore it until I realize Grayson is drawing circles up and down my legs.
