Day four
Juliet's P.O.V
It had been a day since she'd last seen Taylor and she was so worried it took all of her will power to act like his disappearance didn't matter to her. Juliet went about her day trying not to think about how much she was worried about Taylor. During lunch she overhear some kids talking about a crash that had happened a few days ago. Juliet walked a little closer to see if she could hear more information about this crash but she couldn't find out anything relevant, all she knew was that there was a crash that happened yesterday, and the car had hydroplaned, lost control and ended up going over a bridge into the water.
When Juliet got home from school she searched the Internet for info on the crash. She almost screamed when she saw the victim's name. Immediately after seeing Taylor's name she tried to find the hospital he was taken to which was North Valley Health Centre ( NVHC for short ). She grabbed his hat off her bed on her head before heading to the hospital to see Taylor because even though she was trying to fight it he meant something to her.
Arriving at the hospital she asked the receptionist where Taylor's room was but she was only told that he was still in surgery and she had to wait in the waiting area. After an hour the receptionist called her up to the desk to tell her that he was being transported to a room in a couple minutes and she was welcome to follow him. About a minute after talking to the receptionist a hospital bed was rolled out of the operating room carrying a unconscious Taylor hooked up to a heart monitor and a few other machines. She followed the nurses that where pushing Taylor's bed to a room in the ICU and sat in the bed side chair while the nurses got the bed in place and all of the machines hooked up. After the nurses left, Juliet moved from the chair to the edge of the bed where she lightly placed her hand on one of his and waited for Taylor to wake up.
Two hours later
Juliet had moved from the edge of the bed to the bedside chair where she'd fallen asleep when Taylor finally woke up.
Romeo's P.O.V
Romeo stirred waking up for the first time since the car hit the water. He turned his head to see Juliet asleep in the chair beside his bed.
"Juliet what are you doing here?" Romeo asked her, his voice raspy from the ventilation tube used during surgery.
Juliet stirs awake, and rubs her eyes, before seeing Taylor, and running to his side. "Taylor! You're awake! Thank god, I was so worried" She exclaims, holding onto his hand.
He folded his hand around hers smiling "it's not that hard to get rid of me" he started to cough as he talked.
"Please, don't talk. I don't want you to become worse" She said with tears in her eyes, smiling back.
"Why are you here?" He said still coughing a little "I thought you hated me."
"What? I don't hate you, at all" She said, confused, looking at Taylor. "Why would you think I hate you?"
"You ran away after I played the song I wrote for you so I thought I did something wrong" he tried to sit up.
"O-oh.. No, I-I wasn't mad at you." She says, pushing him down by his shoulders. "Stay laying down, I don't want you to get hurt even more. And, if you would really like to know... My.. last boyfriend, wasn't the nicest of all people. And, I got a few memories, of that.. That's why I ran away. I'm sorry." She said, slowly becoming quieter during her explanation, and looks down.
He lay back down on the bed "Come here" he held his arms out waiting for her "You don't have to explain anything to me Julie, I understand what it's like to be in that kind of situation."
She stared, shocked, for a few seconds, then crawled on the bed, on his lap. "J-Julie?" She stuttered, and looked down, at her lap.
"You don't like it?" He asked wrapping his arms around her, pulling her close to his chest "I don't have to call you that if you don't want me to" he murmured tucking a stray bit of hair behind her ear.
"N-no, I do." She says, blushing slightly, and lays her head back, resting against Taylor's right shoulder.
He slowly started rubbing her back "I know we only met a few days ago but..." He trailed off nervous of her reaction to what he was about to ask.
Juliet shivers slightly, against his touch, "Yes?" She asks, tilting her head to the side, and looks at him.
"Would...you... do me the honour of... going out with me?" He asked stuttering and shaking slightly as he continued to lightly rub her back.
Juliet blushes red, hearing his request, and turns around, so she's facing him, then nods, smiling wildly. "I would love too, Taylor!"
He placed his hands on either side of her face to pull her in for a kiss when he suddenly couldn't breathe very well. His arms dropped to the side and he fell unconscious as a machine started beeping alerting the nurse on call that something was wrong.
She leans in, then stops when she feels his hands fall to the side, and opens her eyes, scared. "T-Taylor? Taylor?!" She says, yelling, then stands, and runs out the room door. "Someone, help me, help Taylor! Please!" She says, tears streaming down her red, puffy face.
Juliet's P.O.V
A nurse came running into the room to see what was going on when she noticed the the bandages on his chest from the surgery to repair the broken ribs caused by the crash were covered in blood which meant he'd pulled some stitches. But pulled stitches didn't explain the loss of consciousness so the nurse called in another nurse to change the bandages while she checked the tubes and cords for the cause of the unconsciousness. She finally found the cause when she checked the oxygen tubes connected to the hospital oxygen supply which was loose so she fixed it then explained to Juliet that he should wake up soon. Both nurses walked out of the room having fixed the problem.
Juliet nods to the nurse, stiffly, then runs to Taylor's side, holding his hand tightly, trying, and failing, not to cry. "Please, please be okay, Taylor. Please.." She cries into Taylor's chest, holding his hand.
Taylor squeezed her hand as he slowly woke up "Hey beautiful" he said quietly rubbing her back with his free hand.
"T-Taylor? Taylor!" She yelps, hugging him tightly. "Oh my god! You scared me half to death." She says, crying happily into his chest.
He groaned softly when she hugged him because of his ribs but he hugged her back just as tightly "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he whispered crying himself.
"It's okay, I'm just so glad you're okay. I'm so happy." She cried, hugging him tightly.
"I'm just so happy you're here in my arms" he said as he unwrapped his arms from around her to reach behind his neck to take off the chain that was still there "I want to give you this"
"You want too.. Taylor, I can't, isn't it special to you? I can't just take it." She said, shaking her head.
"It is special to me but so are you, so I'd like you to have it" Taylor puts it around her neck doing the clasp up then places his hands on either side of her face kissing her.
The young girl blushes lightly, smiling. "Thank you, Taylor. You're the best." She says, fingering the chain, then stands, frozen, before melting into the kiss.
"Your welcome" the young boy muttered breaking the kiss but keeping his face close to hers so that his lips brushed hers as he talked.
Juliet blushes lightly, and wraps her arms around the boys chest, hugging him tightly.
Taylor hugs the girl tightly pulling her close to him "it might be to early to say this but I've fallen in love with you, and you look amazing in my hat".
She blushes lightly, smiling, and presses her face into his shoulder.
Taylor slowly drifts off to sleep still holding Juliet tightly against him.
