If I Lay Here,

Those three words, said too much,
But not enough.
If I lay here, if I just lay here.
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told,
Before we get too old.
Show me a garden that's bursting into life.

A/N: Oh come on, it was chasing cars, I NEEDED to put a Grey's Anatomy video, oh and possible GA spoilers above idrk.

Nathalie awoke with a pounding headache, she groaned, quite audibly.

Someone was holding her hand.

"Nathalie, Nathalie!" She heard, everything was so loud.

"Say something! Anything, please!" The person begged.

"Ouch."

"Sorry, darling, sorry."

"It's so loud." She dragged.

"I'm sorry,"

She felt a short kiss on her hand.

Nathalie opened her eyes a bit more, the headache grew even more with the light,

Her vision began to clear to the point where she could evidently see the man she loved, her eyes immediately widened and she opened her mouth to say something.

"Ah! You're awake, good morning, Mrs.Agreste! Any pain?" She heard.

"What?" She whispered quietly.

Gabriel gave her a look that said, 'go with it.'.

"I have a really bad headache, my head is pounding, everything hurts, I feel like I've been hit by a truck." She groaned.

"I'll administer some pain meds, I'm sorry you're in pain."

Nathalie nodded shortly, the quiet dripping of an I.V. filled her ears.

"What happened?" She asked as soon as the doctor left.

"I put you in danger, I'm so so sorry, my darling."

Nathalie blushed quite prominently making Gabriel smirk.

"I swore I'd tell you this as soon as you woke up..." He breathed in deeply.

"What is it?" Nathalie inquired.

"I love you, I am in love with you. I have been for years, and I'll never stop."

She stared at him for a few seconds before bursting into a guffaw.

"Please! As if." She rolled her eyes.

"Please don't-don't do that." She suddenly grew serious.

"Nathalie, please... I swear."

She stayed quiet,

"Nath, my love." He gripped her hand.

Nathalie brought a hand up to her eye, wiping away a few tears.

"Please leave. I need to think."

"I won't leave, I will never leave you, Nathalie, I love you."

"Say it again." She demanded,

"What?"

"Say it again."

"I love you, Nathalie."

"Come here."

He moved closer to her.

"Closer."

He was now only centimeters away from her face,

"Kiss me,"

"What?"

"Kiss me." She breathed.

He leaned in with no hesitation and kissed her, the kiss was so full of love.

She suddenly pushed him away and grabbed a tissue from the box by her bedside table, immediately placing it infront of her mouth, coughing and sputtering into it repeatedly.

A warm substance dripping down her lips as she hacked.

"N-Nathalie, did you- did you cut yourself, darling?" Gabriel hurried as her coughing seemed to slow.

"N-No."

"You're bleeding!" Gabriel's eyes widened with panic.

"Gabriel, c-call the doctor." She wheezed, stammering and stuttering.

"Why? Please just tell me what's wrong."

"Gabriel, please."

He nodded shortly and pressed the call button, a nurse came rushing in and ushered Gabriel out when she started violently coughing again.

Once Nathalie had finished coughig she showed the nurse the blood soaked tissue, making her aware of Nathalie's, 'issue'.

Gabriel was tired of waiting for an update so he got up from his spot in the waiting room and went to barge into Nathalie's patient room.

But when he did his heart dropped, she was being intubated.

A/N: Okay here it is, and I'm sorry to say that I'm not sorry for the cliffhanger<3
