Understanding love

Will Pov

After we tied the ropes I looked at Malcolm.

"You go first, it will be difficult to lift both of us,'' I said and he nodded.

''Ready?" he shouted, letting me know that he had already climbed up.

''Yes!" I shouted back, holding on tight to the rope.

When I was only two meters away from the top, I heard a shout. The rope gave way and I cried out as I fell a meter down. I hit the wall hard and screamed in pain. Luckily, I had a rope, so I could hold on to something.

"Are you okay?" Malcolm asked me.

"I tore my hand a little, that's it. What happened up there?'' I asked him but he didn't answer.

 Then I looked up in confusion to find Caesar looking at me.

''Are....you.... okay?" Caesar asked me.

''Yes. Can you please lift me up?'' I said and just pulled away from the edge.

I noticed that someone was helping Malcolm as he lifted me up, someone strong. More likely Caesar. When they lifted me up I saw Caesar and Malcolm holding the rope. Caesar came to me and looked at my right hand, which was held by my left. I saw that he looked angry in a way, but I don't know why.

Then Caesar looked at Malcolm.

"Kick.... him.... off.....the..... team," he said looking at Carver.

Carver looked surprised at Malcolm who escorted him out. Then Caesar looked at my hand and held it. Then he led me outside while still holding my hand gently. He walked over to Malcolm as I followed him.

''Heal.... him,'' he said, looking at him firmly.

I saw that Malcolm didn't know what to do so I made something up.

''No, it's really fine. It's nothing to me, don't worry,'' I said, looking at Caesar.

"No, I'll help you, sit down," Malcolm told me and I looked at him in shock.

I sat next to him while Caesar sat two meters next to us, still looking at us.

"What are you doing?" I said looking at him.

"Even though I'm not a doctor, it's my fault you're injured. And even though I don't know how to heal, don't worry, my wife will help you,'' he answered.

''What happened up there that I fell?" I asked.

"Carver pushed me but I don't know why so the rope slipped out of my hand," he answered.

Then his family came and he rushed to his wife. After a few minutes of explaining, Ellie came to me and looked at my wound.

''Oh, well, you've hurt yourself,'' she said.

"Ah yes, but I don't mind. It will pass quickly,'' I replied.

After she put disinfectant on my wound and after we talked for a bit, she left. While I was resting sitting on the tree Malcolm came to me and sat next to me.

''We finally got rid of him,'' he said.

"Hah, no wonder. Why does he hate apes so much?'', I asked.

"I don't know, probably something happened in his past related to apes, but that's just my guess," he replied and I nodded.

"Do you see it too?" he asked me and I looked at him strangely.

"See what?" I asked.

''How he takes care of you, man. And how he looks at you,'' he replied, looking at Caesar.

"He loves you, it's obvious," he added.

''What? Do you really mean that?'' I asked him.

"Ah well, maybe I noticed that too," I said, blushing for a second.

"Ah, I knew! There's nothing to be ashamed of, love is love. Do you just love him?'' He said looking at me.

"I think so," I replied.
