Save Me From My Darkness (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 22

A/N: Hello everyone who is reading this book! I just want to tell you that this is the continuation of chapter 21 where Chase has just fainted. What could have happened? Let's find out shall we? Enjoy!

Gregory POV

"Answer me Chase. Why can't you look at me? And why are you avoiding me?" The longer he took to answer, the madder I got. I don't think I've ever been this mad, and at Chase of all people. Sure, most relationships have some turmoil but almost never like this. Even I'm surprised at how angry I'm getting. My grip on Chase's wrists slightly tightens as I try to hold in more of my anger. I need him to answer me or I don't know what I might do. Chase's breathing had sped up and he looked like he was on the verge of hyperventilating. His skin was cold to the touch and he looked close to passing out. And he did. Out of nowhere, Chase slumps to the floor and I catch him just in time before his head has a chance to meet the tiled ground.

"Chase!" He doesn't seem to hear me and his eyes droop before finally closing.

"Chase! Wake up!" I shake Chase slightly before panic takes over and I scoop him up in my arms and run to get outside. I pull out my phone and message Stanley to pick me up and hurry. I ignore the few students still lingering in the hallways and notice us. I also ignore the small comments they say once I pass and even a few of the teachers yelling after me. I have an emergency right now so no, I will not slow down or stop. I arrive outside the school, just in time for Stanley to pull up. I hop into the limo with Chase and we're off, arriving at my house in no time. I get out and turn to Stanley.

"Did you call the family doctor?"

"As soon as you entered the car. He should be here in no time." I nodded and took Chase up to my room before setting him down gently. Not even 5 minutes later, Dr. Harris walks into the room along with a nurse and makes his way on the other side of Chase.

"What happened?"

"He just collapsed all of a sudden."

"Alright. Stacy. My bag." The nurse next to him nodded and grabbed his bag before setting it on the bed. I'll be honest right now, I'm freaking out from all this. Chase passing out like that scared the living daylights out of me and now I have to have a doctor look at him. Of course the school doesn't have a nurse's office. Dr. Harris checked Chase's pulse then pulled out a few things from his bag. I felt my phone vibrate and I looked to see that Lucas was texting me. Walking out of the room, I opened the text and read it.

Dude, where are you?

I'm at my house.

Why?

Chase collapsed so I'm having the family doctor look at him.

Is he alright?

I don't know yet.

Well let me know what happens.

Alright.

I put my phone away right before the nurse walked out of the room. I looked at her, my eyes probably full of pleading that Chase was fine. She motioned me inside and I walked in. Dr. Harris had brought out his portable IV stand and hooked up an IV bag to it, the skinny tube leading to Chase's arm. Once I was by Chase's side, I looked at the doctor, both of us knowing I wanted an explanation. He gave me one.

"Seems he passed out from malnutrition, was sleep deprived, and also stressed. All of it was too much too handle and his body crashed."

"Is that all."

"Yes. That's the only thing I know that made him collapse. But there is something else that's bothering me."

"What is it?" Dr. Harris paused before grabbing the bottom of Chase's shirt and lifting it up. My eyes widened in shock and terror. An 'x' shaped scar marked Chase on his chest. Who the hell gave him that?! Dr. Harris continued.

"I found that when I was checking his heartbeat with the stethoscope. Its an old scar, I can tell that much. It wasn't done to him recently."

"I don't care when it was done, I want to know who did it?!"

"I'm afraid I don't know. And after finding that one, I checked for others. The only other one I could find is on his back." I grabbed Chase's shoulder and looked at the doctor. He told me it was alright to look so I did and pulled up his shirt. It was probably worse than the 'x' scar. It went from his shoulder and vanished inside his jeans. Who in the world did this to Chase? Feeling like I was about to flare in anger I walked out of the room, Dr. Harris and the nurse coming out after and closing the door.

"All he needs to do right now is rest. If anything else happens, please call me and let me know." I nodded and said bye to Dr. Harris and the nurse before they left.

Feeling calmer than when I did earlier, I walked back into the room. Chase was still asleep so I grabbed a chair and sat in it next to the bed. Remembering what Lucas texted me earlier, I took out my phone and texted him.

Chase is going to be fine. He just needs to rest right now.

I waited and Lucas replied a couple minutes after.

Cool. So what happened to him?

He was sleep deprived, malnourished, and stressed.

Dang. Good thing he's ok.

Yea.

You know. I just remembered something I wanted to ask Chase. Maybe you can ask him for me.

Ask him what?

Who Lance is.

Lance?

Yea. I found out from Ivan that Chase knew a guy named Lance.

Can you really trust anything that asshole says?

Who knows?

Chase.

Exactly. You're gonna have to be the one to ask him.

Fine. But I'm going to wait until he's recovered.

Alright. Whoop. Lunch is over. See ya.

Bye.

I put my phone back into my pocket and looked at Chase. Well now I'm just confused. Chase starts avoiding me and refuses to talk to me. He collapses in school and I bring him here only to find the two scars on his body and now Lucas is telling me he knew someone named Lance. This has all begun to irritate me. Chase still refuses to talk to me about anything as well. What is it that he doesn't want me knowing? He has to be hiding something.

Of course, he never did tell me anything about his past except for the fact his parents died. And I never tried to get him to tell me more since I wanted him to feel like he could open up to me when he wanted. But my patience is gone now and I need Chase to tell me what's going on with him. But right now, my mind is focusing on Lance. Just who is this guy? And how is he tied to Chase?

A/N: OMG, OMG, OMG!! Greg found out about Lance! I wonder what's going to happen between him and Chase now. Oh Lucas. You and you're getting mixed up in Chase's life thing. Does anyone else feel like he's playing a bigger role than Greg or Lance? That or about that same role. Even though he doesn't make much of an appearance in the bo- I'M RAMBLING! Sorry. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the new chapter and I'll update again as soon as possible. Thx for reading!
