Childhood Sweethearts

Shane's POV

After being in the hospital for a while I was discharged Sunday afternoon. My mother had me stay home Monday to make sure I was okay. Monday I just stayed in my room finishing paperwork I was behind on. "Shane I'm home." My mom yelled coming up stairs.  "You're still doing your homework?" I smiled at her and got up. We both went down stairs and I helped her with cooking. Tonight we were having spaghetti and meat balls.  When I was making the sauce my mom told me to answer the door and I sighed. I washed my hands quickly and ran to the door. Pushing up my glasses I opened the door to see Samantha standing there. She smiled a bit at me and gave me a hug. I hugged her back and she came in. She closed the door and sat down on the couches arm rest.
"Hey Shane. " She said with a smile that faded. "I'm leaving."
My heart stopped a bit hearing those words. "What do you mean Samantha? "
"We can't be together because, well..."

" That's isn't a good explanation Sam."

" I'm sorry but I can tell that you don't really love me. When you told me that about Luke I saw him leave and you weren't that mad."

"What are you talking about I punched him." I was so mad and confused.

" He was tall and had black hair. He even got you flowers. Look Shane it's clear that you like him and I'm okay with that."

"Sam that isn't Luke that's Ethan. He has a boyfriend"

I was hurt and felt like crying when she stood up and opened the door. "We're just over Shane okay. Maybe we'll meet later in the future if it's not to late."

I walked back into the kitchen and my mom hugged me. I cried for a bit and just went to the restroom to wash my face. I looked in the mirror and just took in a deep breath. Why did Samantha have to do this? She should know that I loved her. Maybe she is a little right though. I washed my face one more time and dried it. I walked out and finished helping my mom cook. She was almost done so I just had to combine the pasta, meat, and sauce together.  After eating I talked with my mom. She said it was going to be alright and I hoped it would be.

~~time skip to the next morning~~

I went to school and not everyone really talked to me. I saw Luke at school in the hallways and avoided him as much as possible. I did the same with Samantha.  That entire day was me just tossing myself into school work. I had to catch up and stay the Nerd I was.  After getting home my mom called me into the kitchen and told me Ethan was in the hospital and she asked me to check on him. I kind of hesitated but she said her parents left Emily there with him so I had to check on her too. I put my back on the couch and grabbed my mom's car keys. "Be careful Shane." My mom said hugging me. "Dinner should be done by than."
I got into the maroon coloured Honda and started it. I backed out of the driveway and drove to the hospital. After the 30ish minutes of driving to the hospital I walk up to the front desk. "I'm here to check on Ethan Coleman. "
"He's in room 182 sir."

"Thanks"

I walked up the stairs because honestly I was a child that was still afraid of the elevator. When I got to the room I saw his wrists were bandaged. He tried to kill himself why would he do that!? I was mad and it looked like Emily had got picked up by her parents. Ethan looked at me and I yelled at him, " Why would you do this?!"  I had tears in my eyes and he just looked at me. I actually really cared for him because he tried to kill himself. "Please... don't ever do this again, I'm begging you!"

He looked at me with a little changed expression and said, "Why do you care about me?"

I raised my voice a little big telling him that he means a lot to me because I've known him ever since we were kids. He smiled but I felt hurt from what Sam has done and now this. He put his hand on my cheek and wiped away the tears, "I'm sorry for making you cry and worrying about me. "

Ethans hand dropped and I looked at him. I yelled his name and I called for the nurse after pushing the emergency button. I tried to help but I couldn't and some doctors and nurses came in. They escorted me out and said, "he's going into shock!"

My heart raced hearing that and I was out of the room. They closed the door and I didn't know what to do. I sat down on one of the chairs and waited. After about 5 minutes I was getting sleepy. Maybe I shouldn't have cried so much. I really Hope Ethan is ok. Maybe Samantha was right about my feelings.

What do I do now?
