FAME.

chapter 15.

He hears sounds all around him.

He sees white lights. He can feel his breath coming back to him. He feels something soft, something warm. In his hand.

He tries to move his fingers. He struggles to open his eyes.

He hears an ear splitting, shrill sound. He feel his heart giving up on him.

He feels his sweat pores jumping open. He then gasps and chokes.

Mason quickly shoots up. "Kyle?!" He exclaims. Kyle coughs and his eyes roll back. Mason swiftly looks around.

Kyle groans and he closes his eyes.

Mason waits.

Kyle gasps awake again and looks at Mason. He's breathing heavily. He looks at Mason's shoulder. And then back at his face.

Mason raises an eyebrow. Kyle groans and rubs his neck. Mason softly taps his fingers on his legs.

Kyle looks at Mason again.
(He's admiring him btw)

Mason looks up into his eyes. Kyle blinks and quickly looks away. Mason raises an eyebrow and grins. "That took you a day or one hundred" he says. Kyle smiles. ''Felt like- no- nothing has happened right?" He asks quickly and turns to Mason again.

Mason blinks. "What? Dude, chill, you just woke up." He says. Kyle rolls with his eyes. "Fine, fine" he says in an annoyed tone. Though, he's not annoyed.

Mason smiles. "I almost sued the hospital" he says. Kyle raises his eyebrows. "You did?" He asks. Mason chuckles. "I was about to" he says. Kyle smiles.

"Uh- wheres your manager by the way? He seemed dead." Kyle suddenly says. Mason clears his throat. "Uhm," he says. Kyle raises an eyebrow. "Did he die?" He asks.
Mason quickly shakes his head. "No it's not that!" He says.

"Then what?" Kyle asks. "I don't know if he's dead or not" mason says. "I couldn't visit him as he's in surgery right now. I don't even know why they didn't let me visit him." He speaks again. Kyle blinks. "So... theres a change he's going to die?" He asks, a hint of fear hidden in his tone.

Mason shakes his head. "I don't think so" he says. Kyle sighs in relief. "Thank god" he mumbles. Mason nods. Kyle blinks and looks at his hands. They're covered in bandages. He looks up at Mason.
"You- are you okay?" He asks. Mason jaw drops to the floor.

(Not literally)

"I should be asking you that!" He says in disbelief. Kyle looks at his body. "Oh- right" he says and chuckles. Mason scoffs. "Hey- I'm your bodyguard, so I have to check on you" kyle says. Mason looks at him in disbelief. "Bodyguard my ass, if being my bodyguard means you'll die then I don't want you to be my bodyguard, Kyle" he says.

Kyle rubs his neck. "Right.. sorry- uhm, I'll try to dodge the bullets with water next time for you" he says half-jokingly. Mason sighs. "Just- don't use yourself to dodge them" he says. Kyle nods. "Alright, I won't" he says and smiles reassuringly. Mason smiles back at him. "Good" he says.

Kyle nods. "Alright, alright. Let's stop being cheesy now. What happened to your shoulder? I was sure I dodged all of the bullets for you" he says. Mason chuckles nervously. "Oh that.." he says and his eyes dart around the room.

(His eyes are moving very fast as he looks around)

Kyle breathes calmly as he looks at Mason. Mason fidgets with his fingers. "Dont worry about it" he says. Kyle raises an eyebrow. "So something did happen?" He asks. Mason violently shakes his head. "Ofcourse not!" He says quickly. Kyle looks at him suspiciously. "No..???" He says and smirks.

Mason blinks and looks away. "Don't even dare look at me like that" he says. Kyle grins. "Why not? Because I know you'd give in?" He asks. Mason scoffs. "As if" he says, although he doesn't sound mad or anything at all.

Kyle raises his eyebrows and leans forward a bit. "So... you didn't get shot?" He asks. Mason nods. "I didn't get shot at all" he says. Kyle slowly nods. "Not that I care" he says quickly and turns his head. Mason grins. "Okay?" He says and rubs his head.

Kyle blinks and looks at the heart rate monitor.

His heart was beating.

Fast.

Mason looks at it too and chuckles. "Are you scared?" He asks. "Or.. nervous?" He asks and smirks. Kyle pushes him away. "Fuck off" he snaps. Mason grins. "Okay then" he says and gets up. "I'll visit the manager now, love you" he says and exits the room.

Kyle rolls with his eyes as the door slams shut. He looks around the hospital room. There was a window and a closet. The window was unlocked. Kyle grins. He hears the doctor coming back. He quickly opens the window wide and slips into the closet.

The doctor opens the door and looks around. He then looks at the window. "Shit. HE'S ESCAPED!" he screams at the other doctors and nurses. Kyle looks through a small gap of the closet. The doctor runs out of the room.

Kyle runs out of the closet and grabs the sides of the window sill. He hears several people coming back. He hesitates a second before jumping down. (His body still badly injured and broken and stuff)

He runs away from the hospital.
"Fucking doctors" he snaps.
He hated hospitals. He hates doctors. They have probably seen his bare body. Disgusting little perverts they are.

Kyle jumps into the river. He hears some muffled screams. He grins and swims further. He feels his cuts stinging. He groans and dunks his head under water. He swims further and further. His body aching everywhere, cuts jumping open and starting to bleed. He pushes his legs to the ground and takes a sharp inhale of air.

He tastes a metallic tasting liquid drooping onto his tongue. He gags and opens his eyes under water. It stings. It burns like hell. Water enters his body and he pushes his body up. He inhales fresh air. He groans and sits down at the side of the river. He has swum far enough.

He crawls into a bush. To his 'luck', the bush had needles. He yelps as thousands of needles pinch him at once. "For fucks sake, why the fuck did I jump into that thing." He mumbles and rubs his back. He was wet, bleeding and tired. And hurt ofcourse.

He groans loudly as he gets up again. "Why did I run away again?" He asks himself. Oh yeah.
He walks deeper into the forest.
