W/N the title is '23. Because I Could Not Stop For Death, He Kindly Stopped For Me' and that is the first two lines of Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" And now for a happy little cherry to the shitty sundae that is the aftermath of Jaythan kidnapping.
(Nathan's POV)
"Hey their, babe. I just... erm, wanted to tell you that I really love you and I hope to god you wake up." Jay whispers. I'm so chuffed I can finally identify voices, though I'd much rather see their faces.
"Oh and Nathan? Could you maybe just, I don't know, move a finger, crinkle your nose. Anything to let me know you're doing okay." Jay pleads, playing with my fingers gently. I try to open my eyes but, instead, I open my mouth. NOISES! I can make noises! I bet I can even talk.
"Aangh!" my throat pushes out. Maybe words was a bit to unrealistic.
"O my god! O MY GOD! He said something! He just talked!" Jay yells, running away. Wait a minute, why is he leaving me? Come back.
"Nathan? Can you hear us?" a nurse asks. No, I want Jay, not you!
"Juh." I attempt to call for Jay. Meh, close enough.
"I'm right here, love, it's okay. Would you like me to sing?" Jay cooes, his lips brushing my finger tips lightly.
"Mmh," I manage to moan, wishing I could say more.

Say my name like it's the last time,
Live today like its your last night,
We want to cry but we know its alright,
Cause I'm with you and your with me,
Butterflies, butterflies..we were meant to fly,
You and I, you and I..colors in the sky,
We could rule the world someday, somehow but we'll never be as bright as we are now.
We're standing in a light that won't fade,
Tomorrow's coming but this won't change,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
The memory of being here with you,
Is one I'm gonna take my life through,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
Promise me you'll stay the way you are,
Keep the fire alive and stay young at heart,
When the storm feels like it could blow you out remember,
you got me and I got you..cause we are, butterflies, butterflies..we were meant to fly,
You and I, you and I..colors in the sky,
When the innocence is dead and gone,
These will be the times we look back on.
We're standing in a light that won't fade,
Tomorrow's coming but this won't change,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
The memory of being here with you,
Is one I'm gonna take my life through,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
I won't, I won't let your memory go cause your colors they burn so bright,
Who knows, who knows what tomorrow will hold but I know that we'll be alright
Butterflies, butterflies..we were meant to fly,
You and I, you and I..colors in the sky,
We could rule the world someday, somehow but we'll never be as bright as we are now.
We're standing in a light that won't fade,
Tomorrow's coming but this won't change,
Cause some days stay gold forever.
The memory of being here with you,
Is one I'm gonna take my life through,
Cause some days stay gold forever.

The tears seep out of my eyes as my breathing gets heavier. After a while of hard word, I pry my heavy eye lids open and see Jay staring down at me with wide eyes.
Suddenly, I jerk up as a warm liquid spills out of my mouth and on to my body. I look down on the blood-soaked bed, hating myself and the circumstances I'm in. A wave of dizziness and fatigue hits me as my surroundings dip and spin out of control. A blackness rings around my vision until all I see is the lonely blackness I've grown accustomed to. Great! After all my hard work, I'm unconscious again!
W/N So a lot has happened to Nathan medically. Here is what all is/was wrong with him since the kidnapping.
Critical Persistent Asthma
Tetanus Infection (cured)
Staph Infection (curing)
Concussion
Stomach Aneurysm (that's why Nathan coughed up blood)
Nathan has one more health issue that will affect his entire life. Can you guess what this brain related issue is?
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. It is definitely happier than the last few.Xx
