Once Ace got back to his room he was curious about that boy and decided to do some research. Some time later he found a video channel in which he appeared playing the guitar and talking about his illness. He spent almost the whole night watching those videos.
“As someone who has fibrosis, I was born terminally ill so at any moment I could die like anyone else but the difference is that I have less time left than the rest, it's hilarious” - said Paul's video and just like the rest of his videos Paul tells his daily life, sometimes he plays the guitar other times he makes videos laughing and with a positive attitude.
In the morning Paul was in his room about to have breakfast when his friend Eric Carr made him a video call. - Hi Paul - the short boy with a big head of hair greets him cheerfully - Wow you look like shit, who is it? It's someone I know -he said laughing a little, Paul also laughs at the boy's jokes, both began to talk until
- Well as I was saying I'm single -said Eric so casually and Paul almost spit out his orange juice.
-You and Carrie broke up but it seemed that you had something very special -he said sad and worried about his friend Eric unlike Paul had cancer in the heart for a while his cancer had gone into remission but a few years ago it had become active so now he was being treated and was on the waiting list at the hospital in New York since the previous one did not have the equipment to treat his disease.
-Yes don't worry it was mutual- said Eric eating a little of his breakfast, Paul doesn't believe a word of that-You're going to remain a virgin all your life- said Paul making Eric laugh as well as Paul but suddenly gasps were heard from Eric.
-Eric? Are you okay? ERIC! - Paul felt his stomach drop to the floor, jumped out of bed and ran to his door, then he saw how the nurses ran down the hall to Eric's room, Paul also ran, he didn't care about not carrying his oxygen backpack, when he arrived the door was open and Eric looked embarrassed while being scolded by Gene.
-Eric, you should be more careful, you gave us a huge scare, shorty- he said as he left the room, Paul stayed in the doorway looking at Eric, relieved and angry- Be more careful, you idiot bitch - he said, smiling a little after the scare, Eric simply smiles and shows his middle finger to Paul who does the same- Enjoy your breakfast, asshole.
-I love you, Paul- Eric shouted while laughing and Paul tells him to fuck off.
Ace looks bored out the window as the doctor talks and his parents listen attentively- Since the trial started a few months ago we have to be patient with the results for the moment Ace you have to stay away from other patients for their safety and yours you can't be near or touch them you have to be...
-Two meters away at all times - he interrupted the doctor - Exactly but you also have to collaborate with us for this to work, you have to follow your regimen to the letter - Ace simply raised his thumb in approval and the doctor left the room his parents stayed a moment before leaving.
Paul was sitting at the window looking at the photos his friends sent him from the trip for a moment he looked up and saw Ace on the roof of the hospital sitting on the edge, what the hell is he doing there he said to himself as he climbed the stairs to the roof.
-Hey what the hell are you doing - he said looking at Ace- hello starchild, my lungs are shit at least you will let me enjoy the views while I can? - he said smiling slightly- You are an idiot you know how lucky you are to be part of that clinical trial- said Paul looking at Ace, he smiled flirtatiously- How do you know about the trial you have been asking about me Paulie~ - he said smiling this made Paul's face get a little hot- You know that if you are going to act like you don't care you should go and let someone else take care of someone who values their life - he said looking with determination at Ace he liked that look, he smiled sideways and stood up on the edge of the roof- Okay.
-Ace what are you doing don't do that - said Paul panicking when he saw Ace standing then he slipped but didn't fall Paul gasped scared but the fear was replaced with anger when he heard Ace's stupid laugh.
-Oh Paulie you should have seen the face you made- he said laughing and getting off a swing being safe.
- You're a... - Paul growled angrily, walking briskly towards the front door, entering and closing it loudly.
- Hey starchild, it was just a joke, relax - Ace tried to follow Paul but the door was closed, apparently Paul got revenge for the joke by removing the twenty dollar bill he had put on the door to prevent it from closing.
- Bastard - he said, sighing but smiling at the same time.
That same night Paul was trying to play his guitar but he couldn't concentrate and he couldn't stop thinking about that idiot Ace Frehley, he sighed and stopped trying to play "love gun" he tried to distract himself or focus on something else but it was almost impossible when he tried to take his medication he opened the bottle abruptly causing everything to fall to the floor frustrated he threw it against the floor muttering curses, he took his oxygen bag gloves and his mask and went to that idiot's room.
Ace was playing some notes on his guitar when he heard knocks on the door, when he opened the door he didn't expect to see the star child standing nervously outside his door, Paul quickly looked inside the room there was no medication cart, no pills and the room was a mess there was an oscillating band and some posters about aliens and outer space.
-And.. your medication, the cart... This is a pigsty - Paul stutters getting more nervous, he takes a deep breath - Can I see your regime please?
Ace, a little surprised by the star child's attitude, agrees and gives it to him as soon as Paul has it in his hands he almost has a heart attack. On the sheet there was only a drawing of a spaceman with a guitar with rockets, Paul was sure he would have a heart attack.
-But... why... what is this shit - he said frustrated looking at the paper about to lose his nerves he crumpled the paper.
-These medications are mandatory - he said trying to calm down - Yes, I know that's why they force me to swallow them - Ace answered with annoyance, Paul frustrated throws the paper to Ace and he complained - I can't stand you - he said walking towards the elevator while Ace quickly follows him.
Paul was back in the newborn ward, he looks at the babies when Ace enters.
-Hey are you okay? You seemed very upset before - Ace said looking at Paul.
-I need you to continue your treatment please- he finally said- Why are you so interested in that- Ace said- Can you tell me, I won't laugh, I promise- Paul seemed embarrassed- I have problems with control, I need everything to be in order, otherwise I get very nervous and it's difficult, you know- he said looking at Ace- Do I really make you feel that bad? - Ace said, looking shy and embarrassed- Listen, I didn't want to make you feel like this, I just don't know how to do this shit, you know?
Paul looks at him like he's grown a new head. Patients like them are supposed to know their protocol by heart. He sighed. - Okay, I'll follow the treatment, but I want something changed - he said, looking at Paul. - I want you and I to play together. I know you play guitar. - Paul said, shaking his head. - I'm not doing that - he said.
- Well, no deal - he said, going to the door. - Enjoy your nerves - Ace said. - Seriously, can't you be at least a little disciplined to save your life? - Paul said, annoyed. - Paulie, nothing's going to save us, we just have to live in the moment - he said, walking out the door. Paul paused for a moment, but for some reason he can't stand the idea of that idiot not following his regimen, so he quickly walks out into the hallway.
-Okay, but I won't let you play my guitar and we'll do your treatment my way, to start we're going to put a medication cart in your room - said Paul looking at Ace and he had a satisfied look on his face.
-Okay, deal - he said stretching out his hand to shake Paul's, he almost got close to shaking Ace's hand but he stops and glares at Ace.
-Hey it's a joke - he said smiling, Paul smiles slightly before walking away
