"Valentine's Day?"

"Too much red and pink." I scrunch up my nose in disgust.

"Are sure it's because no one has bought you those fancy chocolates and roses that makes you salty?" he smirks.

"Why would I want roses that'll die in a few weeks? And if I wanted chocolate then I'll take my ass to the dollar store and buy a bag of it myself. I mean, all you're really paying for is the heart shaped box."

"Nirvana reference?" he asks.

"Unintentionally, but Nirvana is amazing."

We stay quiet, letting the TV play while we watch a random game show.

"Hey Grant?"

"What?"

I've been wanting to asking why we broke up for a while now, but I'm scared to ask.

So, I don't ask.

"When I get out of here, I could really go for a burger."

Pussy.

He laughs and nods. "Alright, I'll get you a burger after."

After a couple minutes, Grant gets a text and gets up. "I'll be back, I need to go take care of something." I nod and he places a kiss on my forehead.

"Love you babygirl." he walks out and I'm left alone once again.

Ethan's POV

"What do you mean by 'She's leaving?'" I look at Grayson and he nods.

"Exactly what I just said." he leans against the car and I raise a brow.

"But-"

"Mackenzie is leaving Ethan. She's not coming back."

A smile spreads on my face.

She's leaving.

No more Mackenzie.

"Grayson, she's leaving!" He smiles and I start to cheer.

"The baby is-"

"I don't care about the baby Grayson, it's not mine!" I jump up while my cheers get louder.

"I have to go see Malia!"

"Wait, but she doesn't remember anything!" Grayson pulls me back and I shrug.

"I'll tell her later, but right now. I just need to see her bro." We both walk back into the hospital and we step into the elevator.

"How are you going to celebrate Ethan?"

"I don't even have to celebrate, all I wanted was Malia...and I got her back." The elevator doors open and we head into the halls.

"Room 304, we need help in room 304!"

That's Malia's room.

I see doctors and nurses rushing into her room and I panic.

I run towards the room where I'm stopped right in front of the door.

A short nurse blocks the entrance as I try to look over the doctors to see Malia.

"What's happening to her?" I yell looking down at the nurse.

"Sir, we need you to step out. We can't let you inside."

"What's happening to my girlfriend?" It's the only thing I say.

"She's having a seizure!" I hear one of the doctors say to another and my panic only gets worse.

That's when I see her.
