Forgotten Dreams: g.d.

Chapter 2

I woke up again, sometime much later, to Ethan by my bedside holding my hand in his. I turned my weak head to the side to see a broken Ethan, hand in mine, head bowed, with tears rolling down his cheeks. My heart broke for him. I squeezed his hand lightly to let him know that I was there, as he turned his head to look at me, a weak smile forming across his face. 

"Hey Mad, how are you feeling?" he asked, a crack in his voice. I just looked down at the sheets. 

"I-I'm fine E... where's Gray?" I asked, not really sure if I wanted that answer. He looked back down at the sheets and more tears rolled down his face. 
"He uh, he's in surgery right now M... they don't know if he's going to make it through the night. He's not doing good, at all. When he's done you need to say your goodbye's, just in case." He struggled to get the words out. My whole body went into shock again and I just started to sob uncontrollably. Ethan pulled me into his arms and I kept finding it harder and harder to breathe as my sobs got deeper and the thought of the fact that I might actually lose Grayson loomed over me. My sobs were interrupted by a nurse coming into the room asking for Ethan. 

"Mr. Dolan?" she asked quietly. "Your brother is out of surgery, you can see him now... I have to warn you though that there is a lot of damage and he doesn't exactly look like himself. I'm sure you've been told but you should probably say your goodbye's, just in case." she said and Ethan squeezed my hand even tighter. 
"Take me with you. I have to see him. Now." I demanded and started to get out of my bed as the nurse stopped me. 
"Let me get you a wheelchair, that'll make it easier and a lot less painful." the nurse said as she walked out of the room and back in seconds later with a wheelchair and a blanket. Ethan put me into the chair and started to walk away. I anticipated seeing Grayson, the kind of condition he was in, I wasn't sure if I could handle loosing him right now. Our life together had just started and I wasn't ready for it to come to an end so suddenly. As the room came closer and closer my heart started to beat a thousand miles an hour, Ethan turned to the door, opened it, and pushed my in along with himself. The sight was unbelievable... there he was a lifeless Grayson hooked up to all kinds of tubes and I.V.'s and fighting for his life in a bed. His face swollen and his left arm and right leg in a cast, his heart rate monitor beeping low. I couldn't believe that I was seeing someone who was so strong and so independent not able to do anything but fighting for his life. At that point I couldn't do anything but cry, neither could Ethan. He pushed me to one side of Grayson's bed and I took his hand as Ethan walked to the other, knelt down, and took his other hand. No words. Just silent prayers and an occasional sniffle when a tear rolled down one of our faces. A few minutes later Grayson's doctor came in, and I was scared to hear what he was going to say.

"Hi guys, well fortunately Madison you're just fine, you're going to be fine. You just suffered from a minor concussion and whiplash but you'll be able to leave in the morning." He said with a smile on his face, but it soon dropped when he knew what Ethan and I were waiting for. 

"As for Grayson though, I'm afraid that I can't say the same thing. He took one of the biggest blows that we have ever seen, when he got here we were surprised that he was still breathing, I'm not going to lie to you. We did surgery to stop the internal bleeding, but his brain is swelling as well, and there isn't anything that we can do about that unfortunately except pray that it stops, and soon. If it doesn't stop withing the hour, Grayson won't make it through the night, and unfortunately the way that it's looking, it's not going to. You can both stay with him, but I would suggest calling all family and saying your goodbye's while you can." And with that the doctor lowered his head and walked out leaving Ethan staring blankly at a wall and me crying by Grayson's side.
