-where it all ends-
Ethan wakes up choking on the ventilator and feeding tube that was down his throat, everything around him was blurry as he opened his eyes, even the sound of him choking was muffled and he could hear the vibrations in his ears of someone shouting.

"We need a doctor," Grayson shouts as he moves reading the help button signaling to the staff that they were needed. He moves holding Ethan's hand as the door opens and some nurses rush in. "You're going to be ok, Ethan"

One of the nurses sedate him before they remove both tubes from his throat and let's out a few rough coughs. Once done he takes a few deep breath of the fresh air.

"Welcome back, Ethan" a familiar voice says and he looks over blinking the hazy from his eyes to see a nurse in purple scrubs with little dinosaurs on them, his eyes wandered to her name tag stuck, Taylor. She was different from his dream, she had lilac hair pulled into a pony tail and her eyes were a green shade but her smile was the same. "his vitals are steady"

Nancy, the other nurse nods and looks to Ethan "Doctor Walters will be in shortly"

Taylor gives Ethan a cup of water to soothe his throat and a grape sucker to be nice. As Ethan drank the water he looked over to Grayson, who looked like a mess. He looked like he hadn't sleep for days and there was a slight beard that had grown, as well as his hair that was disheveled on the top of his head.  Grayson looked like he was about ready to burst into tears and Ethan gives him a slight smile.

"hey" he croaked before clearing his throat, instantly regretting it as it burned. Grayson breaks down leaning down onto Ethan's hospital bed. Ethan's eyes widen and he moves his free hand to Grayson shoulder to comfort him.

"I thought i lost you, I thought i lost my brother. They said you were getting worse the second week into your coma and that there was a high chance that we'd loose you. Yesterday we had to start planning a funeral due to them wanting to pull your plug and i fought so hard for
them to give us more time." Grayson cried out looking up to Ethan who was just staring at Grayson.

"I need to tell you som-" Ethan goes to tell Grayson about the dream he had while
in his coma but the curtain at the door slides open revealing the doctor. Ethan paled as he recognized the doctor, there were only a few minor differences and it was his hair that was flopped over on the top of his head, out of the way of his forehead.

"Hi Ethan, I have to do a few provide questions to make sure that everything in your brain is ok"

"okay," Ethan says softly as his throat still burned.

"what year is it?"

"2018,"

The doctor nods "who are your family members?"

"My mom and dad are, Lisa and Sean Dolan. I have a older sister named Cameron and i'm an older twin to Grayson" Ethan replies correctly.

"Are you married?" he asks, resulting in Ethan shaking his head.
"No, I just have a girlfriend named Emma"

"Good, do you know how you got here?" he asks ending the process at that question, Ethan moves to rub his head only for there to be a bandage on his temple and the memory cams back to him.

"I was closing up at work and I got light headed and stumbled and fell into a corner of a table"

The doctor nods his head "You don't seem to be suffering from nothing worse that a concussion which is good. You are stable now but you may be here a few more weeks as you are in no shape to leave this hospital bed as your immune system is very weak and you are very malnourished. So leaving the hospital can result in your passing. We will be observing you and running tests to help you get better. All i can tell you to do is rest and don't try not do anything to strenuous." he says before getting up a small smile on his face before he left the room.
