FAKE [ Ethan Dolan Fanfic ]

Chapter 33

Lynn's POV
"I missed both of you too." Tears filled my eyes as I stared down at my now awake mom. I took a shaky breath and examined her face as she made small talk with Billy. She looked paler than usual, and she had to squint when she looked at something and she looks exhausted. Yes, she was awake, but did she look healthy? Not exactly. Maybe it's the effect of the tumour she has in her brain.

"You look worried Ly," My mom said. "I'm just scared mom," I said. She gave me a smile without showing any teeth. "I'm awake; I just need to get things going again." I knew she was trying to be careful with her words. She was scared too.
"Billy will be with you every step of the way, and so will, Ethan?" My mom said. I turned around and watched as Ethan pushed himself off the wall. "Hey Lauren," He said.
"I'm really sorry about your accident." "Oh sweetheart, don't worry about me. I'll be okay." My mom glanced at me as if she was also talking to me as well. "How are you feeling?" Billy asked. "Not the best, but, I think that's probably normal," She said.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ethan staring at me intently. I looked at him and he smiled.
"What?" I asked with a smile. "Nothing," He said. When I looked back at my mom she was smiling at the both of us.
"What," Ethan and I both said at the same time.
"I knew you two would end up together someday," She said.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I may have just woke up, but I'm not stupid Ly. I can tell when two people really care about each other," She said. Ethan smiled out of the eye and wrapped an arm around me.
"I care about her a lot," He said.
"I'm happy for you two."
"Thanks mom," I said and smiled. "Alright everyone! Clear out!"

I could recognize that voice from anywhere.
"Mom," Ethan hissed. I smiled and wrapped two arms around him, resting my head on his chest.
"Focus on your girl friend please," She said and pointed to me.
"Yeah focus on me," I said. He chuckled and pecked my cheek. He wrapped both arms around me. Lisa put some Purell on her hands before looking at my mom.
"Hey Laur, how are you feeling?" She asked.
"I could be better," My mom answered. Lisa nodded.
"Well, you were in an accident that common for most patients," She said. "But the thing that mostly concerns me, is that, the cause of the accident was, the tumour in your brain," She said.
"But you already knew you had a tumour, didn't you?" She said. My mom nodded slowly.
"I was a bit hesitant to get it checked out," She said.
"Why wouldn't you get it checked out?" Billy asked.
"Because she's scared of what the outcomes could be Billy," I said.
"You mean­"
"Just leave it at that," I snapped.
"Calm down," Ethan said in my ear, wrapping his arms tighter around me. "Do I have to get surgery? " My mom asked. Lisa nodded.
"It'll be a fairly easy procedure; we're going to go into the area of your brain where the tumour is located. Then do our best to get it out."
"Is her tumour big?" I asked.
"It's a pretty decent size," Lisa said. "Will you be doing my surgery?" My mom asked.
"Family members or friends aren't allowed to operate. So I'm afraid not," Lisa said.
"But, I do have an amazing co-worker here that will be doing your surgery." My mom nodded.
"I can schedule your surgery now, if you like" She said. My mom nodded.
"If I schedule you in for tomorrow at noon, then you don't have to worry about anything" She said. My mom nodded.
"Okay, we'll do that," My mom said. Lisa nodded and smiled.
"I'll go schedule you in now," Lisa said.

I took a deep breath as Lisa smiled at the both of us.
"Go get something to eat, it's getting late. Besides, Lauren needs her rest." Lisa said and patted Ethan's arm. I looked down at my phone and saw that it was 7:30 already.
"Can someone bring this patient water and some food?" I heard Lisa shout.
"You hungry Ly?" Ethan asked. I nodded and stood up straight.
"Billy are you hungry?" I asked. He nodded.
"But I'll stay here, bring me something back up?" He asked.
"Sure," I said. We walked out of the room and I sucked my hands into the pockets of my jacket. Ethan pressed the button to the elevator and I sighed. "Relax, babe. Everything's gonna be okay," Ethan said and rubbed my back. "Let's hope," I said
