_Soul Mate!_

The fourteen Act ~

• Kyle POV •

If someone asked me to count the worst moments in my life, this one will definitely be included. I don't know how I managed to think rationally and rumble inside Josh pockets looking for his car keys.

When I found them, I carried him to the car and suddenly I forget how to drive! Bead of sweats streamed all over my body even though I felt trapped inside an ice cube. Other than my thumbing heart and ragged breaths I heard nothing. Everything turned into utter silence as my cruel memories were displayed in front of me.

I am going to lose him too!

This one thought caused my hands and legs to move on their own, I started driving fast in the high-way. Racking my mind to remember the nearest hospital I pulled the gear even faster.

I looked at Josh; his face was leaning in the window sleeping blankly.

My eyes were clouded and the fear I felt knew no bounds, yet I moved my hand and put it in front of his face, he was breathing.

But his breathing was shallow.

I closed my eyes for a second. "Please only this time...".

I begged feeling my insides squeezing into this tiny wish and turning into nothing, a painful nothing.

I was one second away from tears when I was pulled out of my crumbling world by a weak voice chanting –Kyle!-.

I tore my eyes from the street and looked at him, Josh was pale and weak his eyes glinting with pain, something made my heart sink.

"Oh lord thank goodness you are awake! Don't worry we will reach the hospital soon just stay with me".

He shook his head faintly putting his hand on mine.

–No, don't take me to the hospital I am fine.- he told me, his voice cracking from pain.

"What?! Goddammit like hell you are fine!!" I literally shouted, and I couldn't care less about that in the moment.

-I am fine- he repeated, so I looked at him.

My eyes were a mix of concern and stubbornness.

He sighed weakly then turned his gaze to the window.

– I have Anemia; I forgot to take my pill that's all. –

"What?!" I asked shock lacing my face and words.

-I had it since I was born if I took my pills and sleep well I will be fine, I don't want to worry my parents for no reason. Don't take me to the hospital.-

He argued, refusing to face me.

I ran a hand through my hair laughing a humorless laugh.

"How come you never said anything about it before?!.

I laughed again shaking my head with non-deciphered feelings.

-The subject was never brought up- he told me simply still looking through the damit window.

I took a deep breath from the abdomen to calm my nerves; I released the trapped air which cleared my system.

Turning the vehicle to another direction, the silences hang in air like thick fog.

"is that why you rarely drive?" I asked him, and I swear the question blurted out on its own!

"is that why you don't work with your father? And always act bratty? Cause you are sick?!" the questions poured down like heavy rain, I never knew I was this pissed off till my teeth gritted like a pincer.
