VEGAS X PETE (18+) full story

Chapter 59

"Vegas is starting to respond. But
body's resistance that conflicts
with the brain system made him twitch. But theres nothing to worry about,
Pete, What has just happened?"
Dr. Top looked at me, alternating
with Macau then fell silent before settling down in front
of Macau.

"Macau, do you want to have some snacks, beneath the building with me?"
Dr. Top smiled to Macau who kept head down quietly.

"I want to be here with Hia."
Macau said in a trembling voice.

"Let's go out for a moment. Phi
Pete will stay with Hia. Macau,
let's go get some fresh air. Anything that makes us feel
bad, just let it go."
Dr. Top reached out and gentldy
stroked Macau's head.

"Macau, go out and have some
snacks with Dr. Top. I will take
care of Hia."
I hugged Macau then lean out to
look at him, smiling as always.

"Pete, the baby of.."

"Don't think about what hasn't
happened yet. It's gonna be fine."
I tried to comfort him even though my mental state was so bad that I almost couldn't
support myself.

"So, go down and buy a cake for
P' Pete too. Maybe P' Pete is tired
now, right?"
Macau slowly nodded in
agreement of Dr. Top's words. Dr.
Top reached out to grasp
Macau's hand and pulled him up,
then both walked out.

I walked slowly to Vegas's bed
and sat down in my regular chair.

Vegas told me that Macau
wouldn't have any screams of pain and blood that spilled onto the floor a few hours ago. I
feared that what had happened
would be the guiltiness of Macau's life and would have
made things worse.

[ LAST WEEK]

Dr. Top called me in to talk about
the speed of recovery of Vegas.
Only the brain was not
very responsive, but overall,
everything was in a good way. But what made Dr. Top was
worry was not Vegas but Macau.

"I consulted a friend who is a
psychiatrist about Macau, who
had been diagnosed with depression as I had observed
his behavior all along."

"Depression?"

"Yes! The disease is caused by
abnormally secreted substances in the brain and a poor mental state. If not promptly treated or improved, it will be very dangerous."

"SO what should I do?"

"At the worst moment he wants
to be with the person he is most
comfortable with.
I've seen that Macau quite trust
and quickly become close to Pete. I think Pete will be able to help."

"Please tell me how can I help
him!"

"Just try not to let him think to
much. Don't put him in stressful
situations. Don't let him have argument with people
that will affect his mind severely.
And gradually teach him to be more in the real world. We gradually teach him, gradually talking to him, his mind will be stronger and his symptoms will get better.."

"Will he recover?"

Yes."

"Vegas, I feel sorry for Macau. I
feel sorry for you, why you guys
have to suffer all the thing like that?"
I slumped over to the side of the
bed. A hand wrapped around
Vegas's waist and hugged
him loosely.

"When will we get through this
time? I'm tired. I still have hope,
right? I can't sleep soundly these days. I was worried that if I woke up late at night and couldn't find
anyone. Would I feel alone again?
I'm afraid that if I take my eyes off
you and you don't hear my voice, will you think you're alone again? I'm afraid that I will be
discouraged. I'm scare of despair.
But I want you to know that Im
here. I'm not going anywhere else."
I hugged Vegas tighter and let the
tears run down and released the
weakness in my heart even a little was good.
