My Missing Piece (A Rocky X Zuma Story)

How I Saved Rocky... and Fell in Love

*** ZUMA'S P.O.V. ***
I walk to the beach. I don't know why I just had a feeling that he'd be there. It's where we always go. It's our hideaway from everything. And I believe he's there wondering if I got in or not.

In the process of walking I start to cry. I don't really know why I was crying. I'm use to being rejected and all. But I don't think I wouldn't have lost Rocky. He's the only one I care about so much to the point of me leaving is making me literally CRY.

I think of Rocky a lot lately. He's my inspiration. My one and only friend. And my brother. I never really thought of the fact that I would never loose him. I didn't want to loose him. He's special to me. He helped me get somewhat my home. Until I failed... Damn it. Damn it all to hell.

Why do I let myself get this way? He's just a friend Zuma. Not like you haven't had one before. True but there's something about Rocky that gets me paws over knees everytime we are together. I've heard the term homosexual before, meaning that you fall in love with the same gender. But me gay? I can't be. I am not in love with Rocky. I'm not in love with anyone.

On the other hand. I do love Rocky like a brother. But we are not brothers. But why does my spirits lift so much when I think of him? Why is he the only thing I think of? Maybe these last few months was a sign. That I did find a true mate for me. But he's a boy and I'm straight. ZERO chance of becoming gay.

I get to the beach and my eyes quickly burst into tears when I see something horrid. I stay behind a bush to evaluate the situation. There was Chase and Marshall and they were beating up... Rocky?

I'm scared and worried. Do I help him or do I scram and try to forget that. Then they throw him into the water.

That does it. I grit my teeth and pounce and tackle Chase clawing him left and right, Marshall tries pulling me off but I overpower him and punch, kick, and bite Chase til I had enough and kick him to the grass. Something flared in me that made me want to kill. It was almost like I was getting something that said, you love him save him.

At that moment I found out I wasn't protecting my brother, I was protecting the love of my life. It don't matter to me anymore. I love Rocky. I love him more than anything in the world.

He gets up and I growl loudly, "You evew touch Wocky like that evew again... I'll kill you." Chase got the message and scrambled away from me. Phase one, get revenge on Chase... done.

Phase two, save the love of my life I jump into the water frantically swimming around looking for Rocky.

If you haven't noticed, I am a talented swimmer. I swim when I'm happy. I swim when I'm sad. I swim when I can. It's the greatest thing in my opinion.

I felt a thud on the ground and I quickly went down and saw Rocky unconscious. I grabbed him and pulled him up to the surface putting him on the beach sand. I gave him CPR. One two three four five. Breathe. One two three, damn it Rocky wake up. Nothing.

I call for Ryder and he shows up and looks at the situation.

"Get an ambulance Wydew. Wocky's not waking up."

He did just that and Marshall showed up with his ambulance and we get in and we were rushed to the hospital and Rocky was brought for immediate treatment.

I spent what was hours in the waiting room till the nurse called for Ryder.

"Hi Ryder. Just so you know Rocky is okay. They pumped his body out of the excess water, but he hasn't woken from his coma. We will put him in IC and we will let you know when he's okay."

I spoke up. "C-can I stay with him. He's my best fwiend and I want to know wight away if he's okay."

Ryder tries to answer, but the nurse said, "Of course honey. We will take you to his room. He can have a 24hr guest here. Is that something you'll be okay with Ryder?"

Ryder looks at me and he smiles. "Okay Zuma you can stay here."

I smile and hug Ryder telling him thank you and I was lead to see Rocky unconscious on the bed with wires and needles attached to him.

I walk to him and kisses his forehead. The nurse let's me know if there's anything she could do just ask. I reply with a thanks and she leaves me be.

I turn the lights off and lay in the bed next to him and whisper. "Cmon Wocky. Please wake up fow me. I love you." I kiss him softly on the lips and fall asleep.
