How Can I Even Hate You?

Chapter 2

Ace's pov

What is taking him so long? I'm Ace by the way. I suppose you heard a lot about me so I don't need more introductions. But what you didn't know is that I'm the only child of the CEO of one of the world's greatest company and the son of a famous lawyer. We are actually a happy family and they always find time to be with me but most of the time they are busy. They said that they wanted a daughter at first but it turns out to be a boy. So they said they would be happier if I'm gay which is somehow a little bit confusing. I'm here at Austin's house and waiting for my soda."That damn shorty, what's taking him so long?"I groaned and  decided to walk out of his room and called out "Hey Shorty!!" I walked towards the staircase then I noticed him lying below. My eyes widen when I saw him lying down on the floor, unconscious. I quickly ran downstairs and put his head on my lap. "Hey! Hey Austin! Austin!" I shouted as I gently slap his face, trying to wake him up. I took out my phone and called Kai.

Me: Kai!! Where are you right now??

Kai: *moans

Me: ahh shit don't tell me-

Kai: Just joking! I'm here at home with Jake why?

Me: Come here immediately! I need help!

Kai: Where?

Me: At Shorty's house.

Kai: Who that?

Me: AUSTIN!! CAN YOU HURRY UP? NO MORE QUESTIONS!

I quickly hang up the phone and carried him to their couch. He's unexpectedly lightweight. I tried waking him up  more, but no respond.  After 5 minutes, Kai and Jake finally came as they opened the door widely. "Oh shit! What happened!" Kai shouted as soon as he arrived. His eyes widen and kneel beside Austin. He was trembling as he caress his hair.

"I don't know! I just found him lying on the floor!"

"I'll check his pulse," Jake said "Its slowly beating,"

"I'll call the ambulance now!" Kai panics as he quickly took his phone and dialed 911. "This happens once in a while and if no one will come to help him, there are chances that he may die." He said. This is the first time I saw Kai panicking and stressed. It's been two years that we've been bullying him because he's really cute when he's crying for help. I sighed and waited for the ambulance to come. When the ambulance arrived, I just stayed by his side. I didn't know what to do actually. When we arrived in the hospital, I didn't talk nor look at anyone. I just sat there and wait for the doctor. I don't know why but I feel worried about him.

Soon after, the doctor came with a relieved expression on his face. "He's fine. He is just exhausted from school and a whole lot of stress building up. He's already awake so you can go to his room," he smiles. I don't know why but I feel so relieved "Oh by the way, I treated a lot of uh cuts and bruises of his. Has he been bullied in school?"

Me, Kai and Jake look at each other with wide eyes. "Uhh yeah. He is and he has no friends actually. Uhm we were having tutorial with him when he suddenly collapsed," I lied. But it's not exactly a lie though. I don' really see himhanging out with people so much.

"Ah so that's why. Can you tell him to be careful? His body is too weak already. This is actually the third time this month. Ever since he was a kid, I never see him like this. He seems to be getting weaker every time I see him. Anyways, you can go to his room now and he can go home tomorrow,"

"Thanks doc," As soon as the doctor left, I questioned myself. He's body is becoming weak? Maybe too much of hitting him? I'm starting to worry again. Why do I even have to be so worried? It's not like we're friends or anything. I shake my head and entered the room. Kai stopped as Jake and I also stopped from behind. I looked in front of Kai and see Austin crying while looking out the window.
