Chapter 14 - Make it out alive.

Ace became Damm quiet, as he stared at me in dismay.

"What car are we going to take?" I question because I hate this awkward silence.

He exhales, before wiping his face using his hand. "We are going to use the white Camry." Ace utter, with a relatively low voice.

I nod my head and exhale loudly before grabbing the car keys from his hand.

From what I'm currently seeing! I'm going to just spend one month at this silly job.

Besides, being a waitress isn't that bad.

I opened the car door, and I got my ass inside the car.

Since Ace doesn't have a driver, I'm so unfortunate to say that I'm his so-called driver. "Where are we heading to?" I question, staring at him through the rival mirror.

"Let's just drive around town." He declares with a flat voice.

"Alright!" I mumble, before accelerating the car engine.

I drove around the city and the car ride was entirely silent

"Have you ever heard of the Fashion World?" Ace asked, and I shook my head sideways.

"I have only heard of the Rag World," I mumble with a relatively low voice.

"Come on!" He exclaims while hitting his fist on the car door. "I'm trying to be friendly here Okay, so it would be very great if you just cooperate." Ace exclaimed in total frustration.

"Well! You don't have to be friendly towards me Okay! And besides, aren't you aware that a low-life individual like me doesn't know of any fancy boutique, because what I wear is a pirated copy." I shrugged.

I could see three straight lines appearing on his forehead, and I can tell he was exhausted.

"It's downtown. By De Cas Pe Los hotel." Ace declares. "Kindly inform me when we get there." He added, and with that, he closed his eyes to sleep.

"You seem weak, Ace! So why don't we just postpone the clothes stuff till tomorrow." I ask, staring at him through the rival mirror.

"My parents might be back from the state tomorrow, and my grandma would probably head straight to my house, which is after she comes back from the airport." He explains, with his eyes remaining closed.

"But you don't look good," I mutter while sounding concerned.

I can tell that he isn't pretending, due to the sweat on his forehead

"I bought my clothes from the most expensive boutique, so how on earth do I have to look so horrible?" He utter, which sounded more like a joke to my beautiful ears.

"I'm not joking around with you," I warned while parking the car beside the roadside.

I got down from the car and made my way toward the passenger seat.

Staring at Ace, I can tell that he's in so much pain.

Beads of sweat was dropping down from his face.

I became scared, for this doesn't look like a joke.

Placing my palm on his forehead, I shut my eyes wide open.

Ace's entire body is on fire, and he looks so pale. "I need to get you to the hospital." I declare, before making my way back to the driver's seat.

"Saint... Saint Luke!" He whispers in a very faint voice.

"Ohh! Okay!" I replied.

I have been to Saint Luke hospital, and that is the hospital I took my sister to, during her previous attack.

How on earth am I to forget the hospital that didn't offer my sister breakfast, even though I gave one of the nurses a freaking fifty dollars box.

Making my way towards the hospital, I park in front of the hospital, before turning around to gaze at Ace.

He seems like an individual who has already passed out.

His wheelchair served its purpose for me because I rolled his wheelchair out of the car, and I rolled it inside the hospital, without waiting for the nurses to bring out their emergency craft bed.

"Ace!" I called out his name while riding the wheelchair.

There's a nurse who's currently directing me toward a hospital room.

Another nurse is currently following behind me, and from what I'm getting to understand... It seems that they all know Ace.

Seriously! What type of sickness does he have?

"Ace!" I called out his name once more, but still, there was no reply.

Gush! I'm freaking out right now.

I had also rushed my Mom to the hospital just like this, and it seems that the universe is replaying its games on me.

Finally! I got to the hospital room, and the nurses and doctors took charge.

They assisted me to place Ace on the hospital bed, and they started checking his heartbeat.

"Miss! You would have to leave the room for now." The doctor in charge declares while pushing me out of the hospital room.

"I want to be with him," I stated while pushing the doctor away.

During the time that I took my mother to the hospital, I did as the doctor had told me which was to step out of the hospital room, and heaven knows that things didn't turn out to be good, for I lost my mother.

"Miss! We can take it from here," The doctor pleaded with me.

Tears roll down my eyes as I allow myself to be pushed out of the hospital room.

I don't know why I have the feeling that Ace won't make it out of the hospital alive.

I decided that it would be best if I just stand behind the hospital door.

I can't tell how many minutes of which I have been standing while being lost in my thoughts, but I suddenly felt someone tapping me from behind.

Turning around, I saw Abe.

I haven't seen him since the morning incident where he wore just 'pants'

"Have you heard anything from the doctors?" Abe questioned, with a panicked expression.

"No!" I mumble while avoiding meeting his gaze.

"What the hell exactly happened?" Abe question.

I shut my eyes while contemplating what happened to Ace.

"We were inside the car while making our way towards the boutique, and boom... He started collapsing." I explain.

Abe nods his head while placing his hand on his chin. "Are you sure that...."

Before he could even complete his statement, a lady cut him off. "You bitch!" She screams while dragging my hair from behind.

'Who the hell is she?'
