Namjoon

I think the nightmares were the worst. In the days that turned into months in that sterile white room, everything seemed to take on an eerie aura in the dead of night. Cold sweats and aches from tensed up muscles… At this point I just wished I was dead. 37 surgeries and counting because of a man I saved. That's right… that man was playing with death when I arrived. But, he saw me as his captive. So he tried to destroy me in turn. Should have let his putrid soul fizzle out like the festering scum he was. 

Physical therapy is killing me. The pain is so severe because each break is in a different stage of healing. My body was fighting against my mind. With no regards for the girl who sat near me everyday, and was there just in time for when I woke up. 

She too seemed to be giving up on me. Her dirty blonde hair falling on her face as she slept.
I wanted to be stronger for her.

 But, the shadows…  and the dark figure that lurked there wouldn't let me. Hell… seeing it there every night made me have insomnia for fear of it trying to devour me or worse. 

Wait… 

Ice cold fear ran through my veins as the door to the bathroom creaked open. My eyes rolled the back of my head, and my body started convulsing, sending flashes of light, and darting images all over the place in my mind's eyes. Screaming and sirens overwhelmed me, taking me back to the barrel.

----------------------------

Amber woke in a panic, Namjoon had started thrashing around on the bed. Rushing to his beside she pressed the "On Call" button. Hands clasped to her mouth as she watched helplessly. 

"How can I help?" The voice said tired from the speaker above the bed. 

Amber screamed, "HELP!!" deciding then that maybe she should try to hold him still. She climbed onto the bed straddling the quaking man, pinning his arms. 

Several minutes ticked by relentlessly, as Amber continued to hold him. The nurse walked in looking confused, then jumped into action. Calling for help as she grabbed several things from the drawers and cabinets nearby.  

Two male nurses rushed in seconds after the nurse had called to help hold Namjoon still. Which allowed Amber to hold his head. The nurse injected medicine into the line which caused Namjoons seizure to cease. Amber gave a sigh of relief, kissing the unconscious man's forehead. 

Dr. Reid entered the room an hour or so later. Noting the sleeping girl on top of his patient. It wasn't hospital protocol to allow this but Namjoon was well liked here so he let it slide from time to time. Walking over to the monitors he observed Namjoons vitals. The arrhythmia of his heart had been affected from this last tantrum. He needed to get him in for more tests and scans. Sadly he needed to wake the girl.

"Sweetie…" he said gently. Amber hummed snuggling into Namjoon's chest more.  Dr. Reid rubbed his face before trying again. This time a little more stern. "Sweetheart." He tapped her causing her to jerk out of sleep. 

"Perseus go back to sleep.." was all she said before laying back down. Dr. Reid groaned. "Aw come on!" 

Amber blinked when she saw the man who had a look of desperation on his face. "Oh…" carefully she climbed off the bed and sat in the chair nearby. "Sorry…." She yawned. Dr. Reid gave her a small smile. "I'm sorry to wake you. But, we need to run some tests, and do a scan. His heart arrhythmia has changed, and it's not looking good. If I can figure out what is causing his seizures, that will help reduce the risk for the other." Amber looked as if she was going to cry at what he had just told her. But, she knew he was in good hands with Dr. Reid. 

"I'll just get some coffee…" she sighed as she walked hastily out the door, allowing the tears to start falling mercilessly from her eyes. Absorbed in her feelings she walked idly by barely catching the conversation the nurses were having about a patient they were calling patient Tea. 

"Did you hear…. They finally identified Sweet Tea?" The short haired blond nurse with the round face exclaimed.

"YES GIRL! HE'S JU…" The dark haired nurse with the pouty lips and squinty eyes stopped short practically drooling at something or someone directly in front of Amber. 

Amber turned to see a muscular man in a white cotton t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and dark brown wavy chin length hair, walking quickly down the hall. 

"Jungkook?" She questioned. She had never seen him out of his uniform. He glanced at her as he walked past but said nothing. She watched him as he rounded the corner disappearing from sight. 

The nurses fanned themselves, and then went back to their gossiping. She was curious as to who Sweet Tea was…. However, the nurses were talking about all the things they'd do to the eye candy that just walked past. 

So she continued on to the cafeteria. It's been six months since she came back, and from that time she had spent five of those months here. Perseus and Calliope came by often with Y/N and Yoongi. They offered to watch them while she stays with Namjoon. They were so sweet, and she was thankful. 

Perseus would get mad at her when she said she wouldn't be coming home, and Calliope begged to stay at the hospital to help her with Joonie. That girl was too much sometimes. 

It was often hard to look at her. She looked so much like her mother. Amber couldn't believe how long it had been since Catie had died. So much had happened, and she wasn't the same Amber she had been. Older maybe, but she had changed, and she wasn't sure if it was for the better. 

So much weight had been dropped on her shoulders and then with each passing moment of Namjoon's recovery. Would she recover? 

"Recover me…" she whispered.
