If All The Colors Turn To Grey

*This was written while Golden Days by Panic! At The Disco played.. Try it.*"Taurtis! Stay with me!" I cried, fumbling to grab his phone. I managed to contact the police. I closed his phone and held his hand. "Taurtis? Okay, I need you to stay conscious for a bit longer. We're going to get you to the hospital.." I choked out. He nodded slightly.

Finally, the police arrived along with the paramedics. I stepped back and watched as they carefully lifted him onto a gurney. The officers directed me into the ambulance as everyone got settled. Taurtis looked so helpless. I watched as the paramedics did whatever they needed to keep him conscious until we arrived at the hospital. I don't remember much from the drive, it was mostly like a blur. I do remember arriving though.

Taurtis was rushed into the hospital. I tried to go with him, but the workers stopped me. "TAURTIS!!" I screamed, I needed to get back there. "LET ME GO, HE NEEDS ME WITH HIM!!" I struggled to push past, but to no avail. I gave up and took a seat in the empty waiting room. Every once and a while, a nurse would check in with me. In fact, I'm pretty sure she thought I was going mad. I would just nod, because quite frankly, I wasn't in the mood to talk. I sighed and actually spoke to her when she came over to me for the 5th time. "Can you just get me a water?" She nodded and scurried off. I wanted this to be a dream, one where I would wake up next to Taurtis and it would be fine. She arrived with a bottle of water and went back to her desk.

After 15 minutes of waiting, the police officers came back from Taurtis's room and greeted me. "You will be able to go back there in a while. We can take you back to your house and let you get changed in the meantime." I agreed and followed two officers to their car. I didn't speak much, just mumble an occasional answer. We pulled up at Yuki's house and I got out of the car. I checked the door, unlocked. Who leaves their door unlocked?! I thought to myself. I motioned for the officers to check the house before I went in. They stepped inside and went into every room, checking for anyone left in there.

"Its clear, go on." They said, heading back into their car. I nodded and walked inside, I walked upstairs to Yuki's room. I grabbed a hoodie and slid into some leggings. I slipped into my sneakers and glanced around for anything else I needed. I opened my wallet and took the money I had, tucking it in my hoodie pocket. I took a deep breath and walked back to the car.

When we arrived at the hospital, I was informed that I could go back to see Taurtis. I walked back to his room and peered in. His bruises were deep and the cuts were covered in dry blood. His eyes were closed. I bit my lip and walked in. Taurtis shifted and his eyes fluttered open. I smiled softly. "H-Hi y/n..." He mumbled. "Hey.." I pulled a chair up next to the bed. "How are you feeling?" I asked. He sighed."Like I've been stabbed 14 times.." "We will make it through this... I promise.." I whispered, leaning in to kiss him."I love you.. I will always love you.. Even if the all the colors turn to grey one day.." He smiled slightly and then his eyes closed softly, drifting off to sleep. 

I smiled and let go of his hand, walking over to the little couch. I sat down and made my decision, I wasn't going to leave his side. I ended up drifting off as well.

I woke up to the doctor shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes and sat up. I noticed that Taurtis wasn't on the bed. "Taurtis is in surgery." My heart stopped. "3 of the 14 stab wounds were deeper than the others, so we have to check them and then sew them up." I nodded. He left the room, leaving me and my thoughts. I checked my phone. I didn't realize how tired I was until I noticed that I woke up at noon. I stood up and stretched before heading outside for fresh air. I checked my phone for the closest restaurant. I decided on going to r/n.

After eating, I headed back to the hospital and back to Taurtis's room. I smiled. He was out of surgery. I walked over to him and kissed his forehead. He squirmed before looking up at me. "Hi." I whispered. He giggled. "Hellos little kitty." He mumbled, completely out of it. I chuckled as I sat down. "Taurtis, it's me, y/n." I said, holding his hand. It was always so funny when people came out of surgery all loopy. "I know, but you remind me of a kitty." I sighed playfully."Call me kitty then." I said. He smiled and leaned forward, kissing me.

"I'll love you kitty, even if I'm not around to be there next to you."
