NY Presbyterian Hospital . 10/02/2012 . 18:40 .
Two days later Nathaniel woke up to the sound of people arguing in his bedroom . He was still inside the hospital despite the fact that he was healthy because his doctors continued to have him pass test after test . He could still not move despite getting medication against the pain . He would need physical rehab which also was the subject of arguing if he could trust his hearing .
He could hear that his moms were here together with his grandparents and two doctors . He had met his grandparents and they were lovely people . At least they were kind to him which made sense, who didn't know grandparents that were doting on their only grandchild?
He made a discovery these last few days . He could see the colour of other people's soul . It was like an aura around them . He was startled at the beginning as he was trying to read the name of the new nurse on her name badge when something clicked in his mind . Seconds later he could see colours around people, but only when he was concentrating hard on them . He could roughly make out the meaning of the colours . Red was of course for killers like Marc .
Blue were caring, good people, like the middle aged nurse who often came into his room . Grey were people who roughly made as much good as they are made bad . Then there was black which meant bad people or ruthless ones . It was still not perfect as a reference for the colours, but it would have to do for now .
He realised that the intensity of colour had a certain importance . Like the difference between pale blue and bright blue, which made sense . It was the same thing as kind people and very kind people .
To his delight both of his moms were blue . Mary bright blue, Karine steel blue and his grandma pale blue .
His grandpa on the other hand was dark grey which was worrying but kinda made sense . You do not become the president of one of the best record labels in the country while being a nice guy .
According to what he was hearing his grandpa insisted for him to go to the best rehab center in EU . His moms and grandma wanted to send him on a private rehab clinic in the stats while the doctors insist he was doing the rehab in the hospital . He decided to open his eyes when the arguing began spiralling out of control .
"I would like to say what I want if it's okay with you guys . " Said Nathaniel with a joyful voice that cut through the tense argument .
Getting the attention of everyone present, Karine walked next to him and started patting his hair .
"Sorry for waking you up dear" Said his grandma, smiling apologetically .
"That's alright granny" He said with a smile .
"First of all, I would like to thank you doctor, without you and the care I received from this hospital I would never have woke up . " He said nodding to the two doctors .
"But I spent the last 4 years in an hospital and to be completely honest, iIm starting to suffocate here . So no, I don't want to stay here, nor do I want to go to a clinic . "
Seeing people wanting to argue, he continued before they could interrupt him .
"Grandpa, you said that you had a fitness room in your home in the Hampton, right?"
"Yes, I have but it's not adapted for you condition . " He said in a stern voice .
"I know but we could rent the missing equipment and hire a specialist to help me for the three months needed . Like that, I could be away from the hospital with grandma . You and my moms could come visit for the weekend and see me . " Said Nathaniel with a crafty smile .
"I like it!" Said his grandmother almost instantly .
"Me too" Said Marry follow by Karine a second later . Only his grandfather was not convinced by the idea .
"Three months?" Almost choked one of the doctors . "Young man, you are looking at 6 to 8 month of rehab and it's not even certain that you could come back into shape in your lifetime!"
"I can!" Said Nathaniel, locking eyes with his grandfather, he added with a beautiful smile . "I'm a Lyndon . If anyone can do it, it will be me . "
To the surprise of everyone in the room his grandfather exploded into a raucous laughter . If people who worked with him could see him at this moment, they would never believe their eyes .
"Ok I'm in grandson, show me what you got . I'm going to make some phone calls now . Prepare to move out tomorrow . " Said his grandpa, turning to the door and exiting the room .
"Excellent closing argument sweetie . " Praised Karine .
"I learned from the best" He said with a proud smile .
He got a kiss on the cheek for that one .
