In The End (Dolan Twin Fanfic)

32 The End Pt. 1

Ethan's POV

I couldn't open my eyes, but I sensed that someone was touching me. How long was I out? I heard sobbing. It sounded like my mom.

"Is there any way? Anything else I could do to save him. Please give me a better option. Anything!" My mom screamed at the doctor.

"I'm sorry ma'am, there's nothing else we can do for him."

"My poor baby," her voice cut in and out. She was caressing my cheek.

"I'm sorry, I wish I could give you a better option."

"I know you're doing everything you can. Grayson's going to hate me for this. I'm so sorry," She started crying uncontrolably.

Then I heard someone else walk in and they spoke. It was Cam.

"What's going on mom?" Her voice sounded scared.

The hearing slowly faded and I became numb to her touch.

"Okay, I'm sorry for your loss," The doctor said sullenly.

"Grayson," Mom said softly.

"When were you going to tell me?" Grayson's voice boomed.

"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."

Why was Cam sobbing?

I heard the noise of a chair being brought closer to me and someone's hand take mine. It felt like Gray's.

"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." The bitterness was terrible. I've never heard my brother that angry before.

I heard someone, probably my mom, walk away and it was just me and Grayson. I wish I could see him. It's weird being blind. Wait, am I blind? Okay sorry that was stupid. I caught myself in my own little thoughts and I focused really hard on Grayson's voice but I heard nothing. Then I heard crying. A really ugly crying at that.

"Please wake up," Grayson said through sobs, " Please, please,please wake up. I need you here with me. I don't want them to pull the plug, I can't lose you."

Pull the plug? Was I actually hooked up to someone or was it a metaphor? I made myself feel, which I know that sounds weird but I did, and I felt IV's and something on my nose making me breathe. What was I on? Life support? Or was it just fluids and something to help me breathe. Well, wouldn't that be life support then? I don't fucking know. All I want to know is why I can't open my freaking eyes.

More crying came. For about 10 minutes I heard the crying which was really starting to annoy the fuck out of me because it was really gross and I was trying to open my eyes. It felt like they'd been nailed shut bro. Ew, I think he's slobbering on me. This is so gross.

Okay I need to focus. I don't want to die if that's what Gray's talking about. I don't know why I'd be dying but whatever. I calmed myself down and really focused on my eyes. After concentration...
