CHAPTER I: THE HOSPITAL

Ethan threw on a coat, grabbing his keys before sprinting out of the house. Slamming open the car door, he practically threw himself inside the driver's seat. He grabbed the car keys and jammed them into the keyhole, letting out an annoyed groan when the engine wouldn't start. He growled, slamming his head against the steering wheel, surprisingly enough, it started. Ethan grinned, starting up the car and out of the driveway before heading towards the hospital, practically speeding. After 15 agonizing minutes, he arrived to the hospital. He groaned when he noticed the pay for however minutes you're staying machine that was in front of a lamp post. He backed into a parking spot before getting up and sprinting to the machine, quickly doing everything he needed to do before running to the hospital's entrance.

He ran his fingers through his hair, strolling towards the receptionist's counter as calmly as he could look. "Hi." The receptionist looked up at Ethan, "Hello sir." "I," Ethan let out a shaky sigh, "I'm Ethan Best, brother of Elijah, Peter, Best. Can I get his room number, please?" "Of course, just a minute please." Nodding, Ethan bit his lip. He should've stopped Elijah, but then again, Elijah was already a young adult. He didn't need his forty minute older twin brother to tell him what he could do and couldn't do. He shook his head, running his fingers through his hair as an attempt to calm himself down. "Sir? Your brother's room number is 204. You need to turn to the right and then make two lefts." Ethan nodded, "Thank you." The lady smiled, before turning her head back to the computer screen.

Ethan gulped, running his fingers through his hair again as he walked through the halls. He bit his lip, speeding up a bit as his walking quickly turned into speed walking. After a few seconds, he had made it to the room. Crap, am I allowed in o- Suddenly, the door was opened by a.. Nurse? Doctor? He couldn't tell, "Hi, will you be coming in or will you just stand here?" Ethan's eyes widened a bit, "Sorry, sorry. I wasn't sure if I was allowed in.." The man smiled at him, "It's fine. Come in." Ethan nodded, before walking in the room. As he glanced around the room, looking at the machines, he saw Elijah. Laying there as still as a mannequin, Ethan licked his dry lips, walking towards a chair as he sat down. How the hell am I gonna explain this to Ron, Dad, and Mom? Ethan frowned, shaking his head. Tell them later, check on your brother first.

He let out a shaky breath, looking at Elijah. He had bruises scattered all over his body, at least he didn't have anything broken. His eyebrow had a small cut, the same thing with his lip as well. As his eyes traced over the bruises, Elijah moved a bit, groaning when he felt a sharp pain in his side. Opening his eye a crack, he noticed Ethan staring at him with wide eyes and a open mouth. "What? Never seen a human before?" Ethan shook his head, letting out a low chuckle, "No, but why the hell are you awake?" "Because I'm a human being?" Ethan rolled his eyes, "Haha, very funny. Now let me call the nurse-doctor dude." "Mmhm." Ethan reached over, quickly pressing the button before sitting back down on the chair, waiting for the nurse-doctor to come through the door, which happened almost immedieatly. "Ah! He's awake!"
