I'll Stay By Your Side~Ianthony

She Knows~Ianthony (fifth chapter)

The whole time Ian was in his car, he thought about Anthony...in a coma. What if he doesn't wake up? What if he just stays like this. What if.

"No, stop." Ian told himself. "He's going to be fine."

Ian turned on the radio to calm, his nerves and thought happy thoughts. But every happy thought he tried to think also had a downside. Ian breathed in and out and told himself he would be ok.

He would be ok.

------------------*--------------------

Ian arrived at the hospital entrance late afternoon. He walked over to the office desk.

"Excuse me, what room is Anthony Padilla in?"

"Room 203, 2nd floor." She said with a smile.

"Thank you."

Ian ran to the elevator and pushed the up button rapidly.

"Come on, come on."

The elevator door didn't budge.

"I dont have time for this!" Ian exclaimed as he went to take the stairs instead, because he wasn't patient in things like this..espically when it came to Anthony.

Ian ran up the stairs skipping 1 or 2 steps at a time rushing to get to the 2nd floor. He soon made it and ran to room 203. Ian walked into room 203 to see Anthony lying on the hospital bed, with Kalel next to him.

"Is he ok?" Ian asked Kalel

Kalel nodded slowly but she didn't look straight up at Ian.

She knows

Anthony said that he never told her, but she may have figured out with how long he was gone, how long he was at Ians house, and how long that they spent time together. Before, Anthony only spent time with Ian to do videos and help write the scripts. But when Ian knew he was attracted to Anthony, they agreed to experiment with each other. During that time, Ian and Anthony both agreed not to tell anyone and that they were straight, and they were just experimenting in each others fantasies, because that was ok, it was just human nature. But Ian knew he was gay, for Anthony. He was afraid Anthony wouldn't go "full gay" for him.

"How long have you been here?" Ian asked.

"Since I got a phone call." Kalel answered.

Ian sat down in a chair next to Anthony's body. He was still breathing, that's a good sign.

"I know Ian. I know about you both." Kalel whispered.

"Are you mad...?" Ian asked shaking.

"I don't know."

Kalel let out a deep breath and got up from her chair.

"I'm going to get something to eat." she said.

Kalel walked out of the room leaving Ian with Anthony.

"Anthony, when I told Melanie I was gay, she left. I needed you because I felt Like I was going to hurt myself." Ian felt over his arm. "And I did.."

Ians lower lip started to shake.

"I just..didn't know what to do. I had been lying to myself for 8 years. I'm not straight I'm gay. I plan on staying here right next to you Anthony,until you wake up."

Ian got up to hug Anthony.

"Because I love you."
