ETHANS POV
"i need to talk to you about something.." emma said.
all these thoughts were running through my head. is she breaking up with me? does she not wanna be with me?
"what is it?" i said trying to stay calm
i was facing her but her back was turned so i couldn't see her face.
"it's just.. i don't know. nevermind."
"no emma come on tell me" i said begging her
"no it's really nothing"
i knew if i asked her again she would get mad so i let her be. but i was curious.
"emma come on it's just me. you can tell me-" before i could finish my sentence i heard her start to sniffle and cry.
"emma what's wrong?"
i tried to turn her over so i could look at her. she wouldn't turn over.
"E! i'm gonna go grocery shopping i'll be right back!" grayson shouted from the other room.
i layed my head on my pillow finding the right words to say to emma.
but no words came out. emma and i layed there for a while not talking.
i grabbed her hand and held it. her hand was so soft and so small compared to mine.
EMMAS POV
ethan held my hand. his warm hands made me feel so safe.
*riiing*
ethan was getting a call.
ETHANS POV
i checked my phone and the caller was 911
"it's 911" i told emma
she looked concerned.
ethan: hello?
dispatcher: hi is the ethan dolan?
ethan: yes
dispatcher: your brother grayson dolan has gotten into a severe car crash and he is in the hospital right now. we are running some tests on him to see how hurt he is.
ethan: is he okay?!
everything that he said after that was a blur.
"emma we have to go to the hospital grayson got in a car accident!" i said rushing off the bed.
"is he okay?!" she asked
"i don't know"
i got emma and we went out the door. we rushed to the hospital and went into graysons room.
there he was laying there. lifeless. he was still alive obviously but it wasn't the same.
i held emmas hand as tight as i could.
"emma" i said looking over.
"it's okay e" she said knowing what i was gonna say.
"hi. i'm doctor lee. i'll be helping grayson dolan today. you guys can just have a seat."
"is he okay? what happened?" i said
emma and i sat down on the chairs while the doctor was doing something. she didn't respond to me.
the monitors started beeping like crazy.
"code 122 in room 18 i repeat code 122 in room 18" doctor lee shouted
three doctors rushed in the room and rolled grayson out of the room
"doc! what's happening? is he okay?" i shouted at them
they didn't respond. i followed them to the room that they were taking him into.
"sorry you can't come in here" a doctor said.
"i know but he's my twin brother"
"no. sorry. just have a seat."
"can i just say-"
they shut the door on me.
emma and i sat there for a while.
11:35 PM
"hi. grayson is currently being checked up on. he won't be able to have visitors or leave the hospital anytime soon." one of the doctors told us.
"is he gonna be okay?" i asked squeezing emmas hand as tight as i could.
"look. ethan. i'm not gonna sugar coat this. he's really hurt and there could be some brutal damage to his brain and his spine. we are doing the best we can to see what happened but in the meantime you should just go home."
"no we're not going home"
"i get it, he's your twin brother, but you gotta go home. get some clean clothes. eat."
EMMAS POV
i drove ethan home and we went to bed.
we layed in bed and ethan was quiet but i could hear all his thoughts.
"ethan it's okay. it's gonna be okay." i said
"but what if it's not"
"e.. i promise you" i said grabbing his hand.
i was really worried about him and what was gonna happen to grayson.
i fell asleep and he did too.
i woke up 1 hour later and he wasn't in bed.
i got up out of bed rubbing my eyes.
"ethan?" i said with a weak voice. i walked around the house and he wasn't there. finally, i saw him outside in his pool. his feet were in the pool and he was staring into it.
i went up behind him and put my feet in the pool too.
"hi." i said.
he looked over at me and looked back into the pool.
"are you okay?" i asked
"i feel like i'm not alive. grays not okay and they won't let me see him. i just.. i- i don't have emotions anymore. i can't feel anything" he said
"can ya feel this?" i said poking at his sides. he moved away from me.
"emma not now." he said
i stood up.
i'm not good with this stuff.
"ethan, it's gonna be okay. we can go back tomorrow. just come inside please"
i reached my arm out and he grabbed my hand. but his hand wasn't as warm and soft as i once remembered.
