Adam's POV:
                          
-10:30pm on a Monday night- 
                          
I'm laying in bed, scrolling through my Instagram feed when I hear a slight vibration under the covers. I move the covers to find James' phone ringing with the name Grayson on it, for God's sake not this guy again, always trying to get in between us. I debate shouting James' name to let him know his phone is ringing but something stops me and being my nosy self I pick the phone up.
                          
""James. I might not be able to ever tell you this in person but I love you. I've loved you for so long and you've helped me in ways I can't even describe. If this is the last time you hear my voice, I hope you live an amazing life and please tell Ethan I'm sorry". I hear Grayson say in between heavy breaths. He sounds like he's in a lot of pain and I consider asking him if he's okay but I can hear James getting out the shower and the water turning off and I really don't want him to know Grayson called, or let alone tell him that he just confessed he loves him. I quickly disconnect the line and type the password into James' phone, thank god he's not too secretive with me. I delete the phone call from his history and quickly shove the phone under the covers again as I hear the door handle opening. 
                          
Fuck I feel so guilty but I think I prefer to feel this guilt than to feel the pain of possibly losing James. I knew there was always something between them even when James said that they are just friends. I can tell how happy James gets when Grayson calls or texts him and I used to try to ignore it but it always made me suspicious. I really don't know what happened to Grayson, he sounded like he might hurt himself or already has. Fuck I need to stop anxiously biting my nails before James finds out something is wrong.
                          
Ethan's POV:
                          
-12am Tuesday night-
                          
"Hello is this Ethan Dolan?" A lady from a unknown number says as I pick up my phone.
                          
"Yes that's me. Who is this?" I reply, worry in my voice as I've been trying to contact Grayson for over 2 hours now and even drove to Emma's because I just couldn't be around my parents after what happened.
                          
"This is Susan from the Dignity Health hospital in LA. I'm calling because you appear to be the emergency contact of Grayson Dolan who has just been brought in with severe injuries from a car crash. Who are you in relation to Mr Dolan?" She says calmly and I feel like somebody punched me in the chest and knocked out all my breath. Fucking hell Grayson what happened to you?
                          
"I-I'm his brother" I reply but barely, still in utter shock. I can see Emma's looking at me with concern and we both don't know what to do.
                          
"Okay, he's currently in surgery but if you come to the hospital you will be able to see him once he's out". 
                          
"Okay. Thank you" I reply. That's when I feel a tight feeling in my throat as I let out a loud sob and tears immediately flood my eyes.
                          
"Oh my god Ethan" Emma exclaims as he comes over to hug me. I take my hands away from my face and wrap my arms tightly around her, crying into her jumper. 
                          
"It's going to be okay, he's going to be okay. Grayson would never give up on you" She assures me but it's in a trembly voice and I can tell she is trying to keep it together for me. I let go of her and tell her we need to get to the hospital so I can see him. Emma agrees to drive as I can barely see past my tears. I have to just believe that he's going to make it because it's the only thing that will keep me sane.
                          
We arrive at the hospital quickly as traffic was non existent at this time. I basically run up to the desk, just wanting to know more information about what happened to my brother.
                          
"I'm Ethan Dolan, my brother has just been brought in and I need to see him" I say in a rushed voice.
                          
"Okay sir, what's his name and I'll let you know his room number".
