Bullied But Not Beyond Beauty

Chapter 2 : The Hospital

Leaning towards him, Jake had looked extremely sympathetic and sorry for Dylan. Dylans head had began spinning, he couldnt see. Just as Dylans head was about to hit the floor, Jake had swooped in and picked up Dylan. He had an arm under his knees and an arm just below his head, and started to yell for a teacher.

He ran into the school and everyone focused on the two, half of the girls started whispering to each other. Everyone else sat there with their mouths wide open. Feeling a bit embarrassed Jake, speed-walked to the reception.

Once there he put Dylan down on a seat laying him very gently, and pulled out his phone. A teacher was in shock when he got his phone out with no permission. They asked him with an extremely strict tone "what are you doing?!" At that point he had already called the hospital explaining the situation.

Once the call had ended Jake had pointed at the weakened body of Dylan, and exclaimed "My best friend has just collapsed after being bullied! I needed to call the ambulance as he looked weaker than a 1 year old at the time!"

It was only a few seconds for the teacher to understand the circumstances and left the two at the chair. Minutes had passed and the ambulance was waiting outside, they asked where Dylan was and almost everyone who had heard discretely pointed at the worried Jake and unconscious Dylan. The main paramedic had looked over Dylan and told a teacher that he and the caller must go to the hospital with them, for the caller knew the situation.

Passing the huge crowds of girls Jake had heard one of them saying 'Id give anything to be in an ambulance with him.' However Jake paid no attention as he was worried about Dylan. Jake also had a secret crush on Dylan, and neither one talked to one another at all.

In the ambulance, Dylan had moaned as if he were in pain and the paramedic had said for Jake to hold his hand. So quite nervously and slowly Jake reached for Dylan's hand, when they met hands Jake could feel the tension in Dylan's. But once they were holding their hands together Dylan had somewhat calmed and Jake couldn't feel any tension.

In a matter of minutes, they found themselves at the hospital. At that moment they put Dylan on a stretcher and wheeled him away from Jake, and another doctor had walked up to Jake asking what had happened, exactly. Therefore Jake explained everything he knew, and minutes later a doctor walked up to Jake. He said "You're smart and very lucky you called when you did, your friend has had a minor heart attack."

He couldn't believe it, what caused it? "Were you able to find out what had caused it?" he asked

The doctor turned to him "Unfortunately it was high levels of anxiety." This got Jake thinking why he would've been anxious around him; the only thing that he could've thought of was if he was still anxious due to the bullies.

Dylan woke up to a white ceiling. He thought he was knocking on deaths door. Not until he heard a very familiar voice. It was his Mother, but who is she talking to? Dylan told himself.

He moved around as much as possible without moving his foot, trying to see who it was. CRAP! He yelled mentally. Not Jake. He would've preferred anyone else right now, including Kieran. Jake was the last person he wanted to see him like this. He didn't want Jake to see him at his worst, but he couldn't particularly help it when he was the one who saved him from Kieran.

As soon as they realised that Dylan was awake Jake entered the room, it was a nice private room so no-one else would disturb him and his family / friends. Surprisingly his Mother had merely gone into the room to ask him how he was, stayed for ten minutes then to say goodbye, leaving him alone with Jake.

Dylan was still oblivious as to why he was in the hospital, until the doctor explained. He even told him about Jake carrying him causing him to go bright red. Jake turned to Dylan and saw his tomato face before it was quickly hidden away by the covers. The doctor had left the room and as soon as the door shut completely Jake asked, "why were you blushing? You're my crush." As soon as those words left his lips he instantly regretted saying them.

Dylan looked from behind the covers saying quietly "What!? I have a crush on you, and I thought you were straight?!"

Jake had replied with a chuckle "No, that's why I had to disappoint all of those girls. I've had my eyes on you the whole time." Both looked at each other and after an awkward minute of silence, they both realised that they had confessed their love for one another.
