Nothing More

Twelve

You woke up the next morning to the sound of voices downstairs. You got up and walked downstairs to see grayson eating breakfast with bryn.

You were still kind of upset that you had to give him up to let him be with Bryn, but things were better this way. Soon enough, you'd most likely have Ethan.

You walked into the kitchen to greet them. "oh hi bryn. what are you doing here."

She looked up at you. "oh hey y/n, grayson made breakfast for us." she handed you a plate full of pancakes and bacon.

"oh, thanks grayson." You smiled, looking over at him. you took a seat next to bryn and began eating your breakfast.

"so.. i was thinking.. lunch date today?" Grayson asks.

"sure." You say, not looking up from your plate.

"Oh.. um, I was kinda talking to Bryn.. but sure, how about me, you, bryn, and your brother all go out." He asks

God I'm so dumb.

"Oh no it's fine, sorry. I thought you were talking to me too.. you guys can just go, it's fine."

He shakes his head. "No, lets all go out."

You sigh. "Okay.. I'll text my brother and see if he's free."

you pulled out your phone and texted your brother to ask if he was free for lunch, and he said yes.

you slightly smiled before looking up at grayson. "yep. lunch is on."

"awesome. you guys ready to go see ethan?" He asks me and Bryn.

"yeah let's go."

After finishing up breakfast, you all head to the car and drive to the hospital to see ethan.

One you get to his room, you walk over to the bedside and sit in the chair seated next to him.

"hey, me and bryn are gonna run out real quick. we'll be back in 20 minutes, stay with E." Grayson blurts.

"Uhh okay." You sigh as bryn and grayson leave the room.

you looked at ethan and felt your eyes starting to tear up. "ethan i need you.." you softly grabbed his hand and held onto it for a minute, softly grazing it with your thumb. a couple of tears had fell from your eyes when suddenly, you felt a grip on your hand.

ethan was holding your hand.

The tears quickly left your eyes and happiness filled your body.

omg he's holding my hand ?! maybe he's getting close to waking up.. PLEASE be close to waking up..

You smiled and leaned over to kiss his forehead. "i'm so proud of you E.. i know you can do this, keep fighting, i know you can do it." You grabbed your phone with your other hand and called grayson (since you can't type).

it rung 4 times and he finally picked up. "is something wrong??" He asks with a worried tone.

"no!!" You say excitedly. "grayson! i was holding his hand and after a minute, he held it back." You smiled.

"are you serious?! he held your hand?" Grayson says, matching your excitement.

"yesss he's still holding it right now!" You exclaimed.

feeling his grip after this long is so amazing..

"oh god, okay we'll be there as soon as possible." He said before the line went dead.

about 10 minutes later, bryn and grayson showed up. "is he still holding your hand?!" Grayson asked with excitement in his voice.

"yes! look." You say, pointing towards yours and ethan's hands.
