Grayson's POV

I had finished about five minutes of editing when Ethan walked into the room. He glanced over and saw Shay and I, laying in the bed together. "Hey," he said, a little bit of what sounded like surprise evident in his voice. "She asleep?" He asked, nodding towards Shay. I nodded. "I think so."

Ethan sat down beside me, laying a box with the new phone in it on the nightstand. "How's the editing going?" He asked me, taking off his jacket and throwing it on the other chair. I looked at my computer screen. "Fine. I got 5 minutes done. I'll probably be going all night though." I said, Don't Tempt Me by MiC LOWRY playing in the background. Shay had turned on a nice and quiet playlist.

"Yeah. I was thinking, since this is the first video in a few weeks now, shouldn't we do something like a special announcement? Upload a quick video of us saying that we're back and feeling better, and that an explanation is coming soon?" Ethan proposed. "Yeah, I guess the fans deserve that." I said. "Should we post it on Snapchat then?" Ethan nodded his head. "Yeah, that's the most casual." I agreed. Ethan grabbed his phone and unlocked it, opening Snapchat.

"Wait, are you gonna film me too?" I asked my brother. "I'll try my best not to film her." Ethan assured me, holding up his phone and finding an angle that wouldn't show Shay. When he eventually found one, he turned the phone back towards himself and started filming.

"Hey guys. We know this is way out of the blue, but Grayson and I have some stuff to say to you." Ethan started talking. "Uhh, first of all, we're back. We'll be uploading weekly again from now on, because we're feeling better. We want to apologize for just disappearing like that, but in one of our earlier videos we had promised you guys that we wouldn't spread fake happiness." Ethan paused to look at me, waiting for approval.

He pointed the camera at me now, just enough so my face could be seen im the corner of the screen.

"Alright. So, our next video will actually be going up tomorrow. It's a sit down video, and you may know what it's about since we tweeted about it.. it's not as exciting as usual, we won't be doing any challenges or visiting any specific places, and the video will be taking place in a rather unusual location, but there's a reason for that." I paused now, until Ethan gave me an approving nod. "Recently, a close friend of ours got into a really bad situation. This lasted for up to three weeks, the three weeks we went MIA on social media. Yesterday, this person was finally found again, but with severe injuries. Uhm.." I bit down on my lip, searching for the words to continue the story. "The good news is, though, she's been found, and in the hospital. Just like we are at the moment. We filmed the video in here, because we're keeping this person company." I said, looking back at Ethan, and waiting for him to end it.

"We promise to bring you guys a more elaborate explanation soon, but we have to respect this person's privacy and identity at the moment." Ethan sweetly said. "Thank you guys for having patience with us, we love you guys and we promise to make it up to you." Ethan smiled into the camera, then looked at me. Our looks both confirmed that thát was a good ending, so Ethan stopped filming.

We rewatched the video, checked if Shay wasn't in it and, after we both approved, uploaded it. Ethan said sat back in his chair, pulling his phone up. The blue light emitted from his screen, lit up his face.

The room was dimly lit by a warm white light, which was pretty special for a hospital room. The usual, smaller rooms had more of a cold white light, creating the impression the typical impersonal hospital room. Kate, Shay's mom, had specifically ordered for Shailene to get a private, spaceous room. The music playing in the background, the comfortable silence between Ethan and I, and the lighting alltogether created a pretty chill atmosphere.
