You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

As a nurse, you knew of the consequence of getting close to patients. In your department of the hospital you worked in, many of the patients stayed for a long time, or passed away due to their medical issue. When you first stared your job, many of the nurses who worked there warned you not to be attached to patients, and you were grateful for all of their advice. You loved you job, but it still hurt to see your patients pass away.

"On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the most pain and 1 being the least, how would you describe your pain," you asked your newest patient. Last night he entered the ER due to a heart attack. He looked young, but on his report, it warned you that he was a user of opium and other drugs.

"...I'm fine," he said with a harsh glare.

"I'm sorry sir, but I need you to describe your pain levels," you responded.

Noticing that you weren't going to give up, he mumbled a 3.

"Thank you for your cooperation," you told him before leaving the room.

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

It wasn't long before Xiao Long grew to your company. You were stubborn, yet still had the kindest smile he had ever seen. For the month he stayed in the hospital, he strangely enjoyed it.

He was an intriguing man in your opinion, and you grew attached. You would visit him daily, and just enjoyed his company. Sure he could be a bit grumpy, but he would listen regardless to what you would say. He was a dangerous man on the street, but in the hospital sheets, he wasn't as fearful.

You broke the unspoken rule of getting attached.

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end.
I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

"I have good news Xiao," you said with a large smile on your face one afternoon. After spending so much time with him, formalities didn't seem to matter.

"What is it," he said sitting up straight in his hospital bed.

"You're healthy enough to leave the hospital!"

His face was at first shocked, but then went back to its normal poker face.

And soon enough he was packing his belonging, and leaving. It hurt to see him leave, but you were content to see him healthy.

"Goodbye Xiao, it was a pleasure to have you here," you told him before he left for good.

"The pleasure was all mine (Y/N)," he said before grabbing your hand, and leaving a kiss on the back of your hand.

And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side, powerless

Soon enough, you got back into the groove of work. Weeks went by, but Xiao stayed in the back of your mind. Just the thought of him made you smile. It was sad that you didn't get to see him anymore, but you had a feeling you would see him again.

Your feeling proved itself right one afternoon as an ambulance made its way to your work.

On the stretcher laid an unconscious Xiao. Doctors shorted orders as you sped walked besides them. He was rushed into the nearest surgery room, leaving you to wait out in the hallway. You sadly were not allowed inside. Worry overcame you as you waited. He apparently had another heart attack, and by the look of it, it was due to using drugs once again. Looking one last time at the surgery room's door, you walked away to your job.

Powerless

"(Y/N), I'm sorry to inform you this, but Xiao Long has passed away during his surgery," one of your fellow co-workers notified you.

Pain filled within you as tears threatened to fall from your eyes.

This was the consequence of getting too close to someone destined to die.

Author's Note: I would like to notify all of you that I will not be able to write for a month, unless some miracle occurs. So, yeah, Im not dead! Also, sorry its short...
