I sat there with my head resting into my palms as my elbows dug into my knees.

The cold metal against my outer thighs sent chills up my spine. The hard plastic hurt my legs but it didn't matter.

Every minute or so a salty solution would leave a stream down my face. My heart was breaking by the second.

I turned my head in Ethan's way as he was staring at the wall in complete uncertainty. I look past him to see a couple hugging and crying.

I look up to in front of me to see a family leaving with a baby. It made me smile because they were so happy and the kids were jumping; asking to hold the little baby that rested softly in their mothers arms.

"Ethan," I nudge him out of his thoughts. He looks over at me with his eyes very tired and the veins in his eyes popping out.

"Yeah," His weak voice pushed.

"Do you think he okay?" I sniffled.

"It's hard to tell. We don't even know what happened," He put his hand onto mine.

I grab it back as I was scared. His hand was soft but not as soft as Grayson's.

"Ethan Dolan and Emily Burke," A doctor looked up from his clipboard.

Our heads snapped back to look at him as our feet pushed up off the ground: our hands detaching.

"He is alright. He had a very minor heart attack. This could have been caused by stress or anxiety. Or even a bad dream. If you would have woken him up an hour later it could have been a bad heart attack and could have caused death," He was talking directly to me for the last part.

All the pain in my heart just completely stopped. I was relieved.

"He's awake and well. You can go see him now if you like," He puts his clipboard in between his arm.

"Thank you doctor," Ethan shook his hand.

"Thank you so much," I shook his hand.

"Of course," He patted Ethan's shoulder.

Ethan and I's feet started to pace to his room. I was crying of joy in the inside. My face started to smile as we reached his room.

When Ethan opened the door though my smiled faded. He was hooked up to a bunch of machines and IV's.

"Hey buddy," Ethan rushed over to him. His eyes slowly opened as he looked at Ethan and smiled. Ethan grabbed his hand.

I pushed the heavy wooden door with my small hands. The door made a click noise.

"Hey baby boy," I say as I sit down in the chair next to his bed and scot it over to his bed as I hold his hand. My grip tightened.

"Hi," He sounded normal which was good.

His eyes started to drift to sleep.

"Can you get me some water, E?" He asked with his eyes closed.

Ethan's head nodded, "yeah," he stood up and went to go get some water.

"Were you stressed?" I cut right to the point.

"Yes," he started to get weaker.

"Why baby? You could have told me. I would have never let you be stressed. You can tell me anything," I whinnied.

"I know, I know. I was stressed for this reason." He started.

"What?" I was confused as to what he was referring to.

"Emili I love you. I love you so so much and words can't even explain that. If I hadn't met you I would have been terribly sad and Miserable. I had a feeling a beautiful woman like you was going to walk into that store that day. I already knew who you were that day but that shall not be revealed until we read each others vows." He stated.

My eyes started to water. I think I knew what was about to happen.

"I was stressed because I didn't know what you were going to say. And now we are having a baby and all. I think the baby was God's sign for us to be together. I honestly think we are soulmates. I don't care what our fans think. This is my life and I want you to be in it forever to make me endlessly happy. I want you to be there for me and make me smile for every day for the rest of my life. 2 years in and I want to be together forever. You are my future and this baby is our future," his eyes are watering as he goes to grab something from his pocket.

Tears were streaming down my face. He is so beautiful and that speech was so beautiful.

His thumb rubbed against my cheek; removing the tears.

He pulls out a box and brings it up to my face. "I'm sorry I couldn't do this the right and proper way and this probably is not the best place to do this. But you are my future and I don't want to waste anymore time stressing about this. Will you Emili Burke marry me and make me happy for the rest of my life?"

"If you promise to continue making me the happiest girl on the world, YES!" I scream as I grab his face and kiss it tightly. Tears shredded in my eyes.

His soft lips spoke words as we kissed.

"I love you," He said as he gave me the box.

"I love you to," I said as I grabbed the box from him and opened it up.

So many tears were rolling down my face. A sparkly diamond ring shined from the box. It was the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.

He took the ring out of the box and grabbed my hand. He slid the ring onto my finger and kissed my hand softly.

I stood up and grabbed his face and pecked his lips. Then kissing his forehead.

"Get some sleep." My weak voice was showing.

His eyes drifted off into space as he fell into a deep slumber. Ethan walked into the room with Grayson's water.

I brung him outside and filled him in. He was smiling brightly.

I love Grayson with all my heart.

The heart that he put together.
