Auradon Prep - Part 2

Without a second thought Carlos answered Jay's call, automatically putting Ben on hold, an excited feeling rising in his stomach.
"Carlos, where are you? My dad just told me your crazy mother has gone to collect you!" Jay sounded distressed.
Despite the pain in his face and the wreckage of his mother burning bright the small De Vil smiled softly, "I'm fine." He managed to say.
"so she hasn't found you?" Jay asked quickly.
"no she found me." Carlos confessed.
The Arabian sighed deeply, swearing too, "when you get back I'll break you out, I promise."
Carlos's heart gave a little flutter, "there's no need, she crashed the car." He told Jay.
For a long moment Jay was quiet on the other end, probably trying to process what he had been told, "crashed? What the hell! Tell me that first!" Jay shouted down the phone, "are you hurt?"
"yeah, quite a lot really." The small De Vil told him as calmly as he could.
Jay swore loudly, "and where's your mom?" he finally asked.
Carlos looked up at the wreckage, still crackling and blazing away, spitting higher and he felt no sadness that his mother was obviously dead.
"she's still in the car." Carlos said softly.
There was the sound of a window being opened on the other end of the phone, "where are you? I'll come get you." Jay said sternly.
"no need, Ben's coming." The small De Vil told him.
As if on cue headlights appeared on the road, followed by blue flashing lights of an ambulance; before the government car had stopped Ben was climbing out.
"Carlos!" he shouted, running towards him, Belle close behind.
The pair fell to their knees beside him, worry etched hard on their faces.
"I'll speak to you later Jay." Carlos said casually and hung up before the Arabian could say anything.
Belle began dabbing his blooded face, trying to be careful but it was hard to tell which part of his face was creating the blood, "oh you poor boy." She gasped softly.
"where's your mother?" Beast asked, two paramedics behind him.
"in there." Carlos pointed to the fiery wreckage.
All eyes swivelled to the flames for a moment before the paramedics began looking Carlos over; they worked quickly, he had defiantly broken his leg so they lifted him onto a stretcher before bundling him into the back of the ambulance.
"what were you thinking? Jumping out of a moving vehicle." One of the paramedics, frowning as he strapped down his leg.
"better this," Carlos said gesturing to his still messy face, "than that." He pointed out at the flames.
Ben and Belle climbed into the back of the ambulance with him while Beast drove the car behind.
"well done on your quick thinking." Belle said, dabbing his face once more.
Carlos smiled, he's never been praised before, but it may have had something to do with the medication now pumping through his veins.
It wasn't long before the small De Vil started feeling sleepy and slipped into darkness, the sound of his phone ringing in his pocket.
When he finally came back to reality Carlos was in a large white room, it was filled with flowers and blocks of chocolates, the machine he was attached to was beeping rhythmically and he was alone.
Carlos gently touched his face, there were some stitches above his eyebrow and across his cheek but it was mostly little scabs; his other arm was strapped in a red plaster cast, as was his leg, right up to his upper thigh.
The door opened with a soft click and a tanned woman entered, she had dark hair and a sisterly face.
"oh, you're awake." She looked surprised but smiled quickly, "hello, I'm Dr Nani, how are you feeling?"
Carlos tried to sit up but decided quickly it was a bad idea, "I ache." He managed.
Dr Nani adjusted the drip attached to his arm, "you've been very lucky, more resilient that you look." She laughed kindly.
"did they find my mom?" Carlos suddenly asked.
He still felt no emotion about her death but he cared about respect; Dr Nani shot him a sad look, "oh honey." She seemed to be struggling to find the right words.
"was there much left?" he said.
Dr Nani shook her head so Carlos quickly thanked her and she left while writing notes onto a clipboard.
For a while Carlos lay in the bed staring at the ceiling, wondering what to do, he finally decided to eat the huge bar of chocolate on his bedside table; there was note attached from Evie.
Enjoy this and I'll see you when you wake up. P.S. Jay is still in the waiting room.
Carlos frowned and took a huge, teeth clenching bite of chocolate just as the door flew open and a rumpled look Jay entered.
"you're finally awake." Jay exclaimed, a relieved look rushing over his handsome features.
The Arabian strode across the room, instantly gripping the back of Carlos's neck with a firm hand before pausing in his actions; Carlos desperately tried to swallow the chocolate but it had become thick and sticky.
"do you know how worried I was?" Jay spoke in a low voice, "I left for less than three days and you end up in hospital."
The small De Vil wanted to tell him that it wasn't Jay's fault this had happened, even the President had been unable to stop it but his mouth was practically glued shut.
Jay continued, still not broken eye contact, "when you told me your batty mother had found you-" he swore.
At long last Carlos swallowed the chocolate, "it's not your fault! My mother was the one who-"
Carlos was cut off by Jay pressing his slightly chapped lips to his own; too shocked to do anything the small De Vil paused his whole body and allowed Jay to kiss him.
That being said Carlos was enjoying the warmth of Jay being so close, the affection being poured from one human being to another and the realisation of his own feelings for Jay.
After what seemed like one long dream Jay pulled away, "sorry." He mumbled, "I shouldn't have done that." He went to pull away.
Carlos immediately grabbed him with his good hand, stopping him quickly, "I liked it." He told him with a small smile.
Jay laughed nervously and Carlos allowed him to pull away, "I guess I don't have to tell you that I really like you then." The Arabian gripped the smaller hand still on his arm.
Happiness swelled in Carlos's heart, it was almost painful, he'd never felt love like he felt at that moment and tears sprang to his eyes as he couldn't handle the emotions.
"I properly like you too." Carlos sobbed.
"you soppy moron." Jay said before embracing the small De Vil as tightly as he dared.
