don't leave me

Time heals everthing

Grayson's POV
Her heart rate monitor flatlined. Ethan came running and saw the monitor. My worst fear was coming through. Ethan pushes me out if the way for the incoming nurses. My brain shut down. I can't believe this is happening. I'm praying a miracle.

Ethan's POV
We were walking to car when Gray started running back into the hospital. Confused I ran after him. I caught up to him and he was standing outside of Aly's room. I looked in and saw her monitor was flatlined. All I heard was the long beep.
I saw more nurses come our way so I pushed Grayson out of the way.
He was totally out of it. His face went pale with tears streaming down his face. He still hasn't processed what was happening.
I tried to take him back to the seating area but he pushed back. He tried to get into her room but nurses were holding him back.
He was screaming, "Aly!!! Aly, no you can't leave me!!! Don't go!!!"
I was in shock too. Aly was my best friend. My only friend if you don't count my brother. I came to her when my ex Meredith cheated on me and broke up with me over text. She helped me through it and I wanted to help her through this. To return the favor but I guess I couldn't help.

A few days later
Ethan's POV
Grayson and I are depressed. We're both in therapy and her funeral is in a few days. We haven't been going to school. I'm worried about Gray. He isn't himself. I get his girlfriend died but it's different. He's a completely different person. I'm afraid he won't ever be the same. Aly meant a lot to him so I wouldn't be surprised. I guess only time can tell, that's what they all say. Time heals everything but I don't think it will this time.

Grayson's POV
We're going to Aly's house today.
I haven't told Ethan it anyone this but it noticed when I was visiting Aly she had scars on her arm and it wasn't because of the accident. It looked like she was cutting herself. I'm guessing it was the day she saw me and Samantha kissing. I feel awful.
I walk up to the door with Ethan. I wait a few seconds until I knock on the door. All the memories came flooding back.
Every day during the summer I would knock on the door to see if Aly could come out and me, E, and Aly would wander off. We would go to a spot in the woods where we would talk, play, everything. That's also were we had our first kiss. I smile at the memory when Aly's mom comes to the door.
"Hey boys" she smiles. I could tell it wasn't genuine. She was hurt too.
I smile at her and she invites us in. We talk for a while and she tells me to go to her room and take anything that I wanted.
This is going to be hard.
I go upstairs while Ethan is talking with her mom. I go to one of drawers where I find a blade with some dried blood on it. I take it and put it in my pocket. She cut herself using this and I had no idea.
I started crying looking at everything. It looked like nothing had happened. Nothing has moved since I last saw it.
There were photos of us on her wall. I grab them all and put them in a box to take home. One of them was all three of us. It was taken in 7th grade.
I continue to walk through her room and take a Knick knack that I gave to her when I went on a trip to Colorado. I look through her closet and grab all the hoodies I gave to her. One of them was a lacrosse hoodie. She wore it every time I had a game. I smell it and it smelled like her. Vanilla and perfume. I miss her more than ever but I know I'll be able to see her again.
I take the box of things home and thank her mom. I hang up all the pictures on my wall. I hide the blade in my dresser underneath my clothes. I begin to write a letter.
