9. We're back

My heart started to raze. I got very nervous by the look on the doctor's face. Why did he look so serious? He said everything would be alright before the operation. He should be happy now, right? I followed him through the depressing white halls of the hospital. I think the doctor could see I was nervous because he said: 'Don't be scared, he is okay now'. Thank God, I thought by myself. But I still wasn't totally sure if that was true. He kept having that awful serious look. He stopped for a door with a window. I looked trough the window and saw Ethan laying in a bed. He had his eyes open but he was looking like it costed a lot of effort to keep them open. 'He's awake. The operation went alright, but he has to recover for a long time. Probably 6 months before he can walk again and a year before he can do everything again, like running'. I swallowed, that was a long time. I knew that Ethan couldn't even sit still for a day. He loves sporting and being active. I felt bad for him. 'Has he broken a lot?' I asked him and looked trough the window again. I wanted to go in so bad. 'Both his legs are broken and he has a severe concussion. He has a lot of wounds and some cuts. Do you want to go in?'. I nodded and he opened the door for me. I almost ran to Ethan's bed and gave him a hug. I tried to be very careful so it wouldn't hurt him. He hugged me back. 'I'm sorry that I was running so hard, Grayson. It's my own fault'. He started to cry. I told him it wasn't his fault and that everything was going to be okay. I knew that was true. I just knew. We sat on Ethan's bed for a while and talked about deep stuff. I also told him that all this made me realize I shouldn't worry about small things anymore. He agreed and after awhile Ethan fell asleep. I walked to the window and saw the black sky. The storm was over and the city looked so peaceful. I had a feeling that everything was going to be good in the future. Even though this was the worst day ever.

*1 year later*

'And we will see you guys next Tuesday! Peace!' I smiled and Ethan turned off the camera. We made a video doing some stunts and tricks just because Ethan was allowed to do that again. He wanted to film the video directly after we came back from the doctor. I could understand. He has been bored for almost a year. He is so happy he is back to being normal again. So do I. This year had been rough but I learned a lot. I also learned a lot from Noah. She was waiting downstairs for us so we could finish making the intro and the last part of the video. 'We're done' I screamed down the stairs. I walked to the living room and I saw Noah sitting on the couch. She was enjoying the small glimpse of the sun that came trough the window. I walked to Noah and gave her a big kiss. Ethan came out of the kitchen with three drinks. We toasted. 'On a new good life'. He said and we laughed. I suddenly thought about the time in the hospital. I saw myself looking out the window and thinking everything was going to be alright. 'I'm proud of you, Grayson' I said to my self in my head. And for the first time in a long time I agreed with myself. 'Let's go outside and have some fun', Ethan said. We all went outside and laughed.
