"I should go tell E that you are awake." I said moving from his bed, "no stay" he said grabbing my arm. I smiled at him, "your brother should know that you are alive" I joked and he frowned, "I guess" he acted like a 6 year old child like there mother was leaving for work. "I'll be back, babe" I kissed his cheek and left the hospital room.
I walked into the waiting room and saw Ethan. "He's awake" I said to him and a smile formed, same with his dad. "You guys go talk to him, I'm going to the bathroom." I said walking toward the waiting room bathroom. It was small, painted white and cold. I hate hospitals so much, this exact hospital is when I found out both of my parents died. I was crushed that day, I've changed so much and I just miss them.
I washed my face, I looked in the mirror, and I was a mess. My face was stained red from all the tears I cried, my hair was a mess, I looked horrible. I left the bathroom and entered Grayson's room. When I entered the room Grayson smiled. "Sit with me" he said moving over on his bed. I sat down next to him and he took my hand. Ethan and his dad left to give us privacy. "I'm sorry, Gray. I'm sorry you are in this mess because of me" I said.
He took his hands in mine, "it's not your fault, how many times do I need to tell you Andrea. You saved me, you made me fight for you. So, I did and I won't ever stop." He said, a smile formed on my face. "When do you get out?" I asked him, "in two days, they need to check if I'm 'mentally stable'." He said making air quotes with his fingers. "Well, don't make any plans when you get out, babe." I said getting off his bed. "Where are you going?" He asked, "I have school and I can't miss it." I said walking toward him, I kissed him goodbye. "I love you" he said as I left, "I love you more."
I arrived home and I walked into my room. I sat on my bed and looked at the picture on the nightstand, "I miss you, mom. I needed you today." A tear fell out of my eye, I quickly wiped it away. I went into my bathroom and started the warm shower water. I stripped and hopped into the shower, the hot water hit my skin. I was broken, I can't imagine what I would've done if Grayson died.
It was all over social media, people saying "we will miss you", "stay strong." They were everywhere, they even video taped him coming out of his house. Covered in his own blood, but no one showed up at the hospital. I shook those thoughts out of my mind, he's okay that's all that matters.
I stopped the water and towel dried my hair. I wrapped a towel around my body and walked into my room. I wore one of Grayson's hoodies and put my hair in a messy bun. I laid in my bed and scrolled through Instagram and saw that Grayson posted something before everything went down.

Ethan: that was extremely rude
Andrea: I know
I locked my phone and walked toward my closet, I took out a black shirt and ripped black jeans with a maroon bomber jacket. I changed into those clothes and curled my hair. I got a text from Ethan saying he was here.
I got my backpack and jogged toward his car. "Wassup punk" he said as I entered his car, he started driving. "Are you doing anything tomorrow?" I asked him, "I'm gonna pick Grayson up around 11, I don't know after that." He said keeping his eyes on the road. "Can I come?" I asked, "if you want but we are supposed to have school."
"I know, and I wasn't gonna go anyway so." I said, "that's good" he said laughing. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked him, "uhm I guess, I have everything back. My family, friends, but it sucks to know that you couldn't stop your twin brother from almost killing himself." He said, I heard the pain in his voice. "You did all that you could, you saved him. If you weren't home, he would have died. You cared for your brother, you shouldn't beat yourself up for that."
