AU.
Angst.
Prompt from Tumblr.
…
She's been by his side for days.
The nurses have given up trying to remove her from the room, and back to her own, and have moved he room alongside his. They just remind her to eat, say reassuring words and hope for the best.
The moment he'd become stable enough to be moved from the ICU, Kensi Blye found her place beside his bed and stayed. She had hobbled down a hall, taken an elevator to his floor, hobbled her way to his room and sat down in a chair. She'd torn stitches in the process, and had been sewn back up by a doctor who made sure to remind her that she'd been an idiot in a few more words than needed.
Though, the doctor stopped doing so when she finally spoke.
"How bad is he?'
Five days ago, it had come out of her mouth. So broken. It still shocked the nurses just how broken the young woman that had been in their care was by what had happened. And after that, they didn't hear another word from her.
People had come and gone. Nell Jones had brought small things from both homes, just to keep Kensi at ease. Sam Hanna came with assurances that Monty was being taken care of. Her mother left flowers and balloons, sitting with her daughter besides the man's bed. Despite the silence, Julia found it comforting and she sure that to some degree her daughter did also.
Come day seven, they discharged her. They made her go home and told her not to come back until she'd had a solid night of sleep and had eaten at least two proper meals that hadn't come from a cafeteria. The nurse on his rotation promised to call if anything changed.
It didn't.
Somewhere around day ten, when she goes with her mother to visit him once again, work is mentioned and Kensi realizes she'll have to back to work the next week. Without him.
Somehow, it was this knowledge that actually broke away the last of Kensi Blye's resolve. Because that man is her partner, and she can't go back there without him. Without him there to watch her back, she'll be fragile. She can't, she won't, do it without him.
It's tearing her apart knowing that she may have to, because Kensi Blye is not ready to lose him. She's not ready to live any sort of life without him. Not yet.
…
Here. Have some angst. Love ya's and shiz.
