I forgot my keys. I forgot my keys for the first time, and I walk back in to find my boyfriend overdosing.
I immediately called 911. They would arrive soon, but until then I could only sit and hold him in my arms.
The floor was cold, even through my school slacks. "Oh god, Kat."
It didn't matter that he wouldn't be able to hear me, maybe I just needed to hear it for myself. "I love you, please don't leave me."

The ambulance siren seemed louder than the day we were sparring.
I had called my Mom and told her about what happened. My hands wouldn't stop trembling.
I held his hand weakly as we rode. My heart was felt like it was about to break out of my chest.
My eyes were trained on his face as they pumped his stomach. I was searching for any type of reaction.
Please.
Hang on.
Stay with me.
I don't know if I can do this without you.
The vehicle pulls to a stop, and the paramedics quickly rush to the edge of the stretcher. Our fingers loosely untangle, and my heart stops.
I swear, you better hang in there. I love you too much to lose you.
I watched once again as they took him off into the rear of the hospital. "You're an idiot," I huff, frustration seeping within my veins.

I'm a mess as I sit in the waiting room. I run my hands through my hair, and then move them to wipe the endless tears that are flowing.
Somebody sits beside me, and begins to slowly rub my back. I look up to catch sight of Mrs.Mitsuki. My Mom probably called her, I'm glad, I'm not in the right state to talk to anyone right now.
"I had a feeling he might pull this," Mitsuki spoke in a pretty even tone, but her voice was still filled with sadness.
"I just want to know why I wasn't a good enough reason to stay."
"Oh, honey, don't go blaming this on yourself," she reassured me, "you couldn't have known."
"Yeah.. I guess your-," I got cut off by the ER nurse calling for us.
"Follow me, please," she requested.
The three of us stood and quickly went over to her.
We enter the room, and I see him hooked up to an IV. My heart drops.
She tells us that they were able to get him to expel most of the pills, and he would more than likely be perfectly fine in a couple hours.
I vow to myself to stay until he wakes up. I'm sure his parents have the same plan.
There are two seats in front of the bed, and a pretty big window sill. I opt for the window, and make my way over.
My eyes quickly find their way back to the hospital bed. I look at his peaceful expression, but then look towards his chest. Some part of me wanting to make sure it was rising and falling like normal.
Luckily, it was, something in my mind settles and I look outside.
The sky fades from early morning colors to a subtle sunny glow. I turn around and take in my surroundings.
Katsuki's parents are holding hands, I notice her knee lightly bouncing. I knew she was more worried than she let on.
I look over to Kat and without thinking about it I stand up and walk over to him. The bed shifts slightly as I sit on the edge.
He doesn't wake up, but I gently grab the hand that doesn't have an IV in it. Our fingers fall together like they always have, in a perfect interlocked connection.
-
After a while the heart rate monitor starts to pick up, and his eyes slowly open.
I smile softly, forgetting any anger that I felt towards him. I love you. Please don't leave me.
