In The End (Dolan Twin Fanfic)

35 Another Talk

Grayson's POV

How was I even going to tell him this? Should I even be the one to tell him? I mean, I was there but should it be between mom and him. Either way I hate the thought of it. If Ethan knew what had happened, he would feel awful and everyone else involved would too. I huffed. I think I needed to tell him. Besides, I couldn't convince him that it was nothing when I knew he could tell something was off.

"What?" Ethan asked intrigued, curious, and a little worrysome.

"Ethan. I want you to understand something before I tell you this," I may be mad as hell at my mom, but I wasn't going to throw her under the bus.

"Okay?" Now I'd caught his attention.

"You weren't responsive for a very long time. Months okay. You were on life support the entire time."

Worry and curriousity flowed in his eyes and facial expression.

"Mom talked to the doctor and they said if you didn't wake up, they were going to pull the plug. It was all under moms consent since she's our gaurdian and she okayed it," Color drained from his face," We were actually about to pull the plug right as you woke up."

I felt a tear slip down my cheek.

"So you agreed on pulling the plug too?"

"No. I didn't know about it until the very end basically. Cameron called me crying telling me and I was by your side the moment she told me. I didn't want my only brother...my only twin brother to be gone forever."

"So it was just mom," his tone was sullen.

"I'm sorry. Mom wouldn't let me help pay so she had a hard time affording it and no one thought you'd get better at that. Even the doctors didn't."

"Did you?"

"What?"I looked up at him.

"Did you? Did you believe I'd wake up?"

Words couldn't form in my mouth. A lump formed in my throat.

"You didn't, did you?" Ethan said in disbelief.

"I wanted to believe you did Ethan. I was so upset and depressed over you. I wasn't optimistic about anything for a really long time."

I could tell by his face that he was in shock. I guess I would be too if I were him. More tears fell. I wanted to sob like a little child honestly. This whole situation has been mentally draining for me, and for everyone else. I even have my brother back but the effects were still present. I wish the cure would come.

"I'm sorry," I said, my voice trembling.

Ethan just looked at me dumbfounded. But finally he got up, and I did the same. He brought me in for a hug.

"It's okay," He told me.

I could tell that he wasn't though.
