EXCHANGE OF HEARTS [BL]

CHAPTER 44

"Dad," Race greeted his father as he walked down the stairs. Isaiah looked up and smiled at his son. "Did you get some sleep?"

"Yeah."

"Good for you then," Isaiah turned his back from Race to faced Hades. "Me and your Papa noticed that you haven't sleep well this past few weeks. We're worried about your health-"

"I'm good, dad," Race rested his palm on his daddy's shoulder. "I'm just having hard to sleep, been overthinking something these past few weeks." He sat down next to his Papa and Race greeted his Papa. "Hey, Pa."

"It's not good for your health right?" Hades stared at him worriedly.

Race can saw in their eyes that they are all worried about him. It's visible that Race was not on himself these past few weeks because he's been thinking about Atlas's whereabouts.

Month passed and Atlas still haven't call or even message him about his whereabouts. Months of being alone again like the old times when Atlas didn't came to his life. When Atlas was around, it feels like heaven and he have nothing to prayed of, but when Atlas left without a word it felt like a holy friday.

Race didn't stop and calling Atlas, but he always got the same answer. When he tried to search for Atlas's family he didn't find anyone related to Atlas. He never knew Atlas's parents, his siblings and other relatives.

Just their names, but their mansion was abandoned months ago. He can't even search where Atlas's friends. Race didn't know where Sebastian, James and Rile was. They all disappeared all of the sudden without any word.

Everyday, hurt and rage grow inside Race system. Even how he told to himself that perhaps Atlas had his reason why he left without a word, or perhaps he have a problem that he need to solve and he just forgot to tell Race about it, or perhaps just perhaps that Atlas will comeback after a week, but weeks turned into a month and his hope died in his heart and his eyes.

What can he hope for? Atlas won't comeback, if he had a plan to comeback to Race then he must do it weeks after he left Race, but it's already a month and still no answer, no Atlas shown up, no Atlas who comeback for him. Nothing.

Atlas left him.

That's it. Just simple. ATLAS LEFT HIM. He left and he'll never comeback.

What the reason? Race didn't know. Race thought of the reasons why Atlas left him without saying a word:

First, perhaps Atlas finally come to realized that it is disgusting to be his boyfriend or to be in a relationship with same sex.

Second, perhaps Atlas intention was to make Race fall for him and when Race fell deeply in Atlas's soul-Atlas left him. Perhaps Atlas was laughing at him right now because he's so damn so stupid.

Third, perhaps Atlas had a problem. Whenever Race asked for Atlas's parents and whenever Race opened up about his family, Atlas always dodged the questions. He always had a ways to avert the question and Race noticed that Atlas was not close to his family. Perhaps Atlas had a problem related to his family and he need time to solve it.
