Imagine: finding nick sleeping in what seems to be a 'dead' state

AFTER FINISHING UP BRUSHING MY TEETH I TURNED OFF the bathroom light and made my way over to my bed, smiling at nick who was already asleep

I snuggled close to him, a large smile on my face as i looked at the side of his face. My hand reached up to trace his features but only then did i fully realise how cold he was. I leant up and turned on a lamp before pulling the covers over nick's shoulders to warm him up

But now that i could see nick better i grew concerned. He looked pale, paler than what was deemed to be normal

"Nick?" I questioned. I shook his shoulders and shook him but nicks eyes stayed shut
"Nick? Nick" i said my voice getting louder. I sat up properly and i shook him more frantically

"Nick wake up!" I could feel my tears well up and they immediately fell down my face, more following straight after

My hand moved down to his wrist where i couldn't feel a pulse and a sob racked my throat as i dialled 911

I sat up ready to do chest compressions when i heard a voice

"What time is it?" I looked up from the bed to nick who had his eyes tiredly open

'911, what's your emergency?'

"Who are you calling?" Nick sat up as he watched my stunned face, noticing i'm crying
"What's wrong?" He asked worried

'What is your emergency?'

"Nothing- i made a mistake. I'm sorry" i said to the phone operator before hanging up and letting out a deep breath

"Nick" i whispered before throwing myself into his arms. He let off a small chuckle and kissed the top of my head before i pulled away
"How do you feel?" I asked him

"Like.. i dont know.. fine. But why are you crying?" he sat up and lifted his hand to wipe away my tears

"You need to see a doctor" i stated

"Why?" I put my fingers on his wrist again
"What's that for babe? I feel fine"

"You didn't look fine"

"How did i look?" My eyes went back down to the bed as i recalled him. His white face and cold skin. My heart dropping in my chest at the thought of him gone

"Dead. You looked dead. You were cold to the touch and i couldn't find a pulse- which is still really slow. Are you sure you feel okay?"

"Well I thought so till you told me i was dead"

"I'm serious nick, you need to see a doctor"

"Does a nurse count?" Nick asked flirtatiously, his hand moving up to my neck and he leaned up

"Nick-"

"Just trying to get my heart rate up" his lips moved up to my neck and I sniffled as i felt a tear run down my face

"Hey baby" nick whispered pulling away when he noticed
"Speak to me"

"I was scared. Seeing you lying there and not moving was so painful nick. The thought of you gone- i-"

"I'm sorry. But i really do feel okay. Come on, cuddle with me baby" he pulled me in by my waist and i rested my head on his chest as he put his arms around me, making sure i can hear his heartbeat
