Yay! We are finally going to get some Solangelo in this chapter! Enjoy!
Will POV
The blue hallway, thanks for the clarification.
The hospital that I worked at didn't just have numbered rooms like any normal person would make them. No, they had colored hallways. The greatest part about this though (note sarcasm), the fact that I had not been working here that long and therefore had no clue where to go when my boss assigned me to the person that was in room three of the blue hallway.
I tried asking for better directions, but my boss just told me to go down the hall we were in, turn right, then I'd see a couple of hallways, go down the blue one. So, I decided that the only thing I really could do was just guess and hope I was right.
So, I left the office, continued down the hall, took a right turn and then came to four hallways in front of me. One of them was supposed to be the color blue, whatever blue was supposed to look like.
At least I knew my patient was supposed to be a woman, and she had a broken leg. So, if I walked into an 80-year-old man's room I would just turn and leave. But knowing my luck, I'll walk into a woman giving birth or something equally as embarrassing on my part.
I looked at the halls in front of me and used a fool proof way of finding out how to pick something, I did einy miny miny mo and went down the second hall. When I got to door three, I put my ear up to the door and listened for any obvious signs that I was at the wrong one, but I heard nothing, so I opened the door and reluctantly walked in.
I knew as soon as I looked at the patient on the bed I wasn't in the right room. First of all, he was a boy, second of all, something seemed weird about him, it felt like I should recognize him, I wanted to walk over to him, but I knew this wasn't where I was supposed to be. I looked around the room, it seemed normal, white walls, white bed, the only thing that seemed at all strange was a desk that was in this room, it wasn't black like all the other desks in this hospital. It was a little lighter than black, but it defiantly wasn't grey. I looked at the boy on the bed and he just seemed... I didn't even know how to describe it, he was special. But I didn't know why.
I pulled my eyes away from him and turned back to the door. But when I opened it, the walls were not their usual grey, they were something I had never seen before in my life. Something my brain described to me as red.
The boy, the room, the brown desk, the red walls. The room had seemed wrong, looking closer at it as I went back into the room, there was a folder on the desk, and the word that seemed to fit for it was yellow. There was color. And of course the boy seemed special, he was my soulmate, and he was beautiful. But he was a he. Maybe if I left now, when he woke up, he would still see black and white, he didn't see me right? So, he wouldn't see color either.
Now I just need to pretend for the rest of my life that I never saw color. Never see this boy again. I had to look in his file, I had to know his name. His name was Nico di Angelo. That was a beautiful name, he probably is a good person, he doesn't deserve this. I don't deserve this either I don't think, but here we are. I can just hope Nico doesn't see color so long as I stay away from him, he'd be happier that way anyways.
Just then the door opened, and a girl walked in.
"Are you Nico's doctor?" she asked.
"Yes." I responded, even though I wasn't, I had to say I was, because what other excuse did I have for being in here other than that?
"I'm Hazel," the girl introduced herself. "Nico's sister. I couldn't find him this morning, so I went out to look for him and I found him in an abandoned park, just like this." She motioned over to where he was laying.
"Is he going to be okay?" she asked.
I wanted to answer her honestly, but I didn't know anything about Nico, other than the fact that he was my soulmate. "I'm not his full-time doctor, I'm just checking in on him. So I don't know, his real doctor should be in soon though." That should sound professional enough, so she doesn't get suspicious.
What I didn't know was how right I was when I said that his real doctor should be in soon, as the door opened once again just seconds later.
"Will? What are you doing in here?" one of my collogues, who was Nico's real doctor, asked me.
"I took a wrong turn, because of ya know... the color thing." I said and my collogue nodded but Hazel looked confused.
She opened her mouth, "I thought you just said..."
"Shh." I whispered to her.
She continued, "That you were his part ti-"
"Shut up faster, shut up faster," I whispered again, cutting her off. She really needed to stop talking before Nico's real doctor heard about the lie I told.
She still continued, "You said he is the full time doct-"
I interrupted her again, "Shut up better, shut up better."
I walked out of that room as quicky as I could, Hazel and the doctor giving me strange looks.
Yeah, I was screwed.
Thank you all for reading! See you for the next chapter!
