Ethan's POV
4:52pm, Thursday
-
Ryan calls me, he's in tears.
"Ethan, Grayson isn't here yet a-a and the hospital called saying Ash is in the hospital-." He says, extending the "l".
"I'm going right now, Grayson is on his way, unlock the door so he can get in. Did they say what room she's in?" I say, getting my skateboard, laptop and wallet.
"402, and the door is un- locked, erhhhhh." Ryan says, letting out some hics.
"I'll call you back when I see her, just take deep breaths, she's fine, okay?" I tell him,
"Okay.." He sighs,
"Talk to you soon Ryan." I say, then hang up.
I put my laptop in a backpack and put my phone in there as well. I put my wallet in my pocket and grab some earphones. I put my backpack on and run downstairs, gripping onto my skateboard.
"Hey, hey! Where are you going?" Dad asks,
Mom sighs, "First Gray, now you. What's happened?"
"One of my friends are in the hospital and I need to go see them." I say,
"Oh.! Who??" Mom says,
"Mm.. Mike. You don't know him." I lie,
I'm not ready to tell my parents we've reconnected with Ashley again. If and when I get into a relationship with her, I'll tell them. Our little fights at school don't help, I just want Nate to think I haven't changed for a girl, but soon, I'll try and convince him Ashley is cool, and we shouldn't touch her.
"Okay, hurry then. Sorry for holding you up." Dad says,
"You need a ride?" Mom says, grabbing hold of her keys,
"No, I'll make it in time if I go now. I'll be back later." I say,
"Okay. Be safe."
I walk out the door and shut it behind me. I put down my skateboard and skate down the path to the hospital.

5:48pm
I walk into the waiting room with a bag of Chick-fil-A, which had a deluxe chicken sandwich and a chicken salad. Ashley usually tweeted about the chicken salads from chick-fil-A, so I knew it was her favourite. I pick up my skateboard and run to the receptionist.
"I need to see Ashley-Grace Noble." I tell her.
"Visiting hours are over. Sorry hon." The lady said,
"W-what? I need to see her!" I plead, my eyes tear up a little,
"And how are you related to her..?" She asks,
I think of a lie,
"I'm her boyfriend. Please let me see her." I beg.
The reception lady does some things on the computer and looks at me. She sighs,
"402, down that hall, take a left. If you're staying the night, there's a sofa bed by the patients bed, along with blankets and pillows in the cupboard." She tells me.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I say, picking up my skateboard and running to Ashley's room.
I run down the halls, passing other patients, doctors and visitors. People in wheelchairs roll by, a few people wave to me, I wave back. I go down the left hall way. 359, 400, 401, 402 and, finally, 403
I knock lightly on the door and open it. Ashley was fast asleep, I didn't want to wake her, so I sit by her and stroke her forehead.
She seemed so peaceful and calm, her right hand was bandaged up. Tubes were taped to her hand, surrounding the bandages.
"Ash.." I whisper,
"Ashley, you awake?"
Her eyes slightly open,
"Grayson..?" She mumbles,
"No, it's Ethan, you okay? I bought some food." I say,
She sniffs, "McDolans?"
Her voice sounded more serious then before,
"Chick-fil-Ash." I laugh,
"Ooh!" She sits up. I put the bag on her bed, get up and wheel out the table. She puts the bag on the table and pulls out a salad.
"Is that waffle fries I smell?" She smiles,
"Uh-huh.!" I say, grabbing my sandwich,
"Okay, you're my favourite twin." She says, eating her salad.
"Means a lot." I say and smile.
"Thanks - thanks for coming. I really appreciate it.." She mumbles.
".. I know I can be really rude and mean a-and sour, I just don't want to seem wimpy around Nate." I say.
"Oh." She sighs,
We sit in silence.
"Guess what." I say, breaking the silence,
"What?" She replies,
"I brought my laptop." I tell her,
".. And." She shrugs,
"Neeeetfliiix.." I say, holding up the laptop,
"Orange Is The New Black..?" She says, staring at me,
"You know it." I say,
"..Gimme!"
"Aha, take it.!" I say, giving her the laptop,
"Yaaaaas."
