- 1 month later -
Ethan was finally allowed to leave the hospital after being on suicide watch for two weeks, then having to go to therapy on top of healing after all that had happened the last few months. He was dressed in a bright red sweatshirt that Emma has gifted him as well as some black sweats and his black converse.
"It's so good to finally be going home, I feel so free finally" Ethan says as he rides in the passenger seat his brother driving the two home.
What Ethan didn't know was that Grayson had planned a welcome home party. It was a small group of friends and family, of course. It included Ryan and Kyle, as well as Hailey who was now settled down with Derek who had always had wanted a relationship with her. The next group was Emma with her new friends, over the month Ethan was in the hospital her and her friends had a little bit of a fall out. So it was only Olivia and a new girl named Amanda. Then, it was the twins parents and sister who were already in town staying at their house when they heard the news of Ethan.
When they pulled up into the drive there were only two extra cars besides the twins. Emma's and the rental mini van that their parents had gotten, Grayson helps Ethan from the car as he still had a cast on his arm, it was a purple which Taylor picked out. He had broken his arm when he jumped off the bridge a month ago, he had pushed all those memories behind him wanting to look forward. The two made a little small talk as they headed to the door, Grayson unlocks the door and opened it for him and taking him to the living room and Ethan gasps seeing everyone and almost tears up seeing the messy sign that said
'welcome home ethan'
it was was written in emma's had writing and it looked like everyone there has signed it. He smiles looking around the room before they come and give him a tight hug.
"thank you guys, this means the world to be around friends and family"
Sure it will take a bit of time for Ethan to really start living again and hopefully try to move on from the events that happened those past few months. He knew with the people he had on his side he didn't have to fight alone, not anymore. He was going to be alright and having the people he loved here was enough for him. Before he joined the party he spotted a new painting, Emma had told Ethan at the hospital that had dad had painted him something to help him feel better. But, he had never seen it until now and it was a painting of that bridge and he smiles to him thinking
'no more bridges'
