Chapter 2
Rose's p.o.v
When I had woken up I was in a strange white room. The ceiling was white. The walls were white but there were blue-ish looking cabinets with medicine on the shelves. As I was comprehending where I was a memory flashed. I remember being picked up bridle style by Kid. To me he seemed more worried and hurt than I had thought. He was on the verge of crying then I blacked out. To my right I heard faint sobbing. I sat in a sitting position on the bed that's in the middle of the nurse's office. The sobbing had ceased to sniffling and the body that the noises belonged to looked up to me with tears. The faint sobbing and sniffling came from Kid himself.
Kid's p.o.v
I was crying to myself at the edge of Rose's bed. 'How could she do this to herself? What happened back there?' I had no idea yet I cried a bit harder. When I heard shuffling of sheets I ceased (or at least tried to) my crying and eagerly looked to Rose. She was finally awake. It had only been a few hours but it felt like eternity for me. I got up and rushed over to her placing my arms around her shoulders hugging her tightly. ' I'm going to tell her and I'm going to tell her now with no regrets.'
"Rose I have something to say and I want you to listen very carefully. I love you. Not like a friend but more than that. I love how you smile, laugh, treat people, and know how to make others happy. Though I hate it when you lock yourself away and put up a fake happy front. I hate it when you just cry by yourself thinking you don't have a shoulder to cry on. I want to be there for you and I will. Even if you push me away I'm staying. I'm going to break down that shell of yours to my last breath. Why you ask? Because I love you. Very dearly, that's why."
Rose's p.o.v
When Kid started telling me these things I was crying. Bawling my eyes out with tears. I was gripping his jacket tightly afraid to let go. Afraid to be left in the dark. Afraid to lose everything. Again. You see it happened when I was 7.
-FLASH BACK-
'Momma!? Papa?! Where are you papa?! Momma needs help! Someone please help us!' Rose was trying to free her mother from the beam that had fell on her during the fire. Her father 'Burando' had left on a business trip. Leaving Rose and her Mother ,Akitamaya, to this trouble. Rose was weaker back then. She didn't know what to do either." Rosey…please save yourself. Find you're lover that will cherish you to the end , find some friends that will stay by your side…*cough* it's okay I'll always be there for you. In your heart. Don't fret over to save me. Please get out of here before you wind up more hurt. Please don't *cough cough* cry. The air is going to suffocate you. Leave…." Rose couldn't help but to cry. She was about to leave her mother to die in a fire. She couldn't do that. She had to save her mother. Rose didn't want to be alone in a dark scary place. She wanted to be with her family in the light. "Roseiku Akita Stein…don't make me tell you twice. Go live. Save our family by continuing it. I love you Rosey. Don't ever forget that. *Coughing and wheezing* H-here take this and obey." With that Akita gave her daughter a key that was attached to a chain for a necklace. Rose knew it had an important purpose in the family. With a chaste kiss on the cheek her mother took her last breath dieing with a smile forever present on her lips. Rose held the key necklace tightly to her chest, giving her mother head a sweet kiss and left singing sadly with the now present stoic look on her face. " This world will never be what I expected and if I don't belong who would've guessed it…I will not leave alone every thing that I own to make you feel like it's not to late it's never to late." That day Rose swore that when she found her absent father she would sing that to him and let him live with the guilt and empty-ness that she had to live with for that many years.
