In The End (Dolan Twin Fanfic)

31 Is This The End?

Grayson's POV

It's been two days since Sky and I hung out and school just got stressful. It's only Febuarary, but damn it's the end of 3rd quarter and I have finals for whatever reason right now. Well, it's not really finals, but they're big tests. I thought senior year was supposed to be fun and light hearted until the end of the year. But the good news is I haven't been that distracted so I've been able to study which usually doesn't happen. I heard my phone buzzing, it was Cameron. I wonder what she wanted.

"Hey what's up?" I answered.

"Gray, you have to come to the hospital now!"

My heart jerked, "What?"

"You have to come now!" She said through sobs.

"Okay I'll be there as soon as I can."

I hung up the phone and grabbed my car keys. 10 minutes later, I was running through the hallways of the hospital to Ethan's room. I stopped in front of the front door. I looked in the windows and saw my mom, Cameron, and the doctor. I took a deep breath and then opened the door. Cameron was arguing with my mom and the doctor.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Cameron looked at me with tears running down her face as well as my moms.

"Gray," She embraced me in a tight hug sobbing into my shoulder, "Mom's decided to take him off life support."

"What?" I looked at my mom and then at the doctor," What does that mean? Is he stable enough to do that?"

The doctor and my mom exchanged looks.

"Son," The doctor spoke," I'm sorry. We have other patients that could use this room and Ethan isn't getting better. I told your mother the only options we had. That was pay more money which your mother doesnt have, transport him to another hospital which will also cost your mother a fortuine, or take him off of life support."

Tears welled up in my eyes. I'm giving my mom the benefit of the doubt, "So you're taking him off life support. Mom, Cam and I can help. Family will help us."

"Grayson, I know this is difficult. It is for me too," tears fell from my moms eyess," I don't believe he's getting better and we've even had other doctors fly here to inspect him. He's not going to get better..."

"No," I said.

Cameron fell to the ground.

"Gray," My mom cooed.

"NO! Stop!"

This can't be happening.

"Grayson, your mother is doing what's best," The doctor was trying to help.

I had no words, "Please, give him one more day. I don't care, I'll pay for it, whatever it is."

"Son..."

"Don't you ever call me that," Anger raged.

The doctor looked at my mother, "If your son pays for it, I'll let Ethan be until tomorrow at 3, if that's okay with you."

Tears threatened to drip down.

"Okay," my mom said silently.

"Okay, I'm sorry for your loss," he looked around at everyone.

After the doctor left Cameron got up, took one look at my mom and left. She said she'd be back later in the night. Now it was just me and my mom.

"Grayson," My mom stepped closer to me.

"When were you going to tell me?"

"I was going to tell you over the call."

"A call? You couldn't even do it in real life? Face to face? I didn't even know you were here until 15 minutes ago when Cameron called me sobbing her heart out."

I pulled a chair as close to Ethan as I could sat down holding his hand. We both stood there in silence listening to his steady breathing.

"Grayson. I didn't want it to come down to this. I really didn't, and you don't think I hate doing this to my son, or you, or Cameron?"

"If you were really my mom you wouldn't do this. Or his mom. Or Camerons." Bitterness seaped out of my mouth.

I could sense how much I hurt her, but the anger piled over that and made my feeling of sympathy numb. I heard her choke and running footsteps out of the room. I looked up at his face and it happened. I started to for real cry like I did the other night in the Jeep. I just wanted him to wake up, I needed him to wake up. I need him. I've been barely getting by without him, he's everything I knew. I loved him and I always will, I mean he's my twin. He's literally my other half. I put my head on his hand.
