It's been 2 days since Ethan and I found Grayson unconscious on the floor. He still hasn't woken up, however, he was still alive. What did this mean for him? Was he going to be okay?

"Hey Mal, I got you a coffee" Ethan came back into the room with 2 styrofoam cups in his hand, giving one to me.

I took it graciously and I sipped the hot coffee, letting the burning sensation roll down my throat. It felt good, it helped liven me up a little bit.

"How's he doing?" Ethan took a sip of his drink, grimacing at the taste afterwards. One thing about Ethan is that he did not like black coffee one bit.

"The same, I guess" I shrug. I didn't know what more to expect. I thought he would be awake by now.

"Well, at least he isn't dead" Ethan chuckled. I shot him a menacing look and he put his hands up in surrender.

"It's just, I'm worried about him, you know?" I bit the inside of my cheek. "I feel like a bad friend"

"Hey, what makes you say that?" Ethan came closer to me and picked me up, putting me in his lap and pulling me flush against his chest. He wrapped his arms around my body and swung us back and forth in the seat.

"I feel like I could've stopped this, I could've prevented him from becoming friends with Alice" Tears silently slipped out of my eyes and down my cheek.

"You did everything you could, you were a great friend to him. He always talks about how he's glad you guys have stayed friends throughout your entire lives" He continues to rock us back and forth and gives small kisses on my head.

"I lo... I uh, really appreciate that Ethan" I smile at him. Fuck, I almost told this kid that I loved him, was it too soon?

Ethan looked almost defeated. "Oh, sure, no worries"

We sat there together, in silence, when suddenly Grayson's heart monitor began beeping faster. I looked over to make sure everything was okay, not expecting him to be staring back at me?

"Grayson!?" I shrieked. This was it! He was alive and awake!

I pressed the call button on his bed multiple times to alert the nurses and doctors. Almost instantaneously, a doctor appeared in the doorway.

"Yes?"

"My friend, he's finally awake!"

The doctor went over to check his vitals. He appeared to be healthy and showing no signs of body damage. How did his body stand up against all his substance abuse?

"How are you feeling, Grayson?"

Grayson blinked a few times, and then looked up at the doctor.

"Who's Grayson?"
