Your POV
Once your alarm clock went off, your eyes jumped open and you nearly slid off of your bed. Your warm toes touched the freezing tile as you made your way to your bathroom.

You zoomed in and yanked your toothbrush from inside of your hygiene drawer; doing the same with your toothpaste.

Today is a special day, because last night you did something amazing for Ethan. You had Grayson drive you back to the hospital and grab release paperwork for Ethan. You bargained with your mother all night, and she agreed that if her test proved your statement, then he'd be released from the hospital.

You finished brushing your teeth and spit the toothpaste out; rinsing your mouth with water to get rid of the taste. You ran to your closet and picked out the outfit you got ready for yourself last night.

You swiped your bag from your nightstand and ran out of your bedroom door. You skipped every other step while running downstairs; swinging the door open and slamming it closed.

You jumped in your car and jammed your keys into the ignition; roaring your car to life before backing out of the driveway and nearly speeding to the hospital.

*___At the Hospital___*

"You're early today." Your mother smiled at you as you past by her on your way in.

Although the doctor put her on bed rest, she's the only person who can run tests on Ethan. Or any of her patients for that matter. No one else has jurisdiction.

But you didn't worry too much because you called the hospital last night to confirm that your mother will only be visiting Ethan room specifically for testing only.

"Are you ready?" She asked.

"Yes! Now let's go!" You squealed as you dragged her towards the elevator; anxiously waiting for the heavy metal doors to open.

Ethan's POV
The only audible sound in the room was my pencil scribbling on the pages of my poetry book. I haven't written in so long, I just had to get these emotions out. And they aren't bad for once.

I could feel my heart flutter and my lips curve into a sincere smile as I continued to write.

"Consumed by every breath you take,
I can't think about the choices I make,
Being with you keeps me bound,
Even when we don't make a sound,
You comfort me with open arms,
And keep me from any harm,
Under your trance, my breaths are fleeting,
Is it the way you make my heart stop beating?
I've never known love before,
But I'm lost in you who I adore."
