Chapter 25.

When Rosette arrived at the hospital, she was met by Joshua, Azmaria and Shader. Neko had come and picked her up. He had a licence too and had offered his help to get her to the hospital. Joshua hurried over to her as soon as he saw her "Hey sis" he said; a worried look on his face.

"Where is he?" she asked, he turned his head to look down a long hallway "He is brought into the emergency room..." he replied "Azzy and I were on our way home, when we noticed a lot of blinking blue lights... then Azzy saw that Chrono's car was among them all crumpled together"

"H-How bad was it?"

"Well... when we arrived, they had already put him into the ambulance... but after what I have heard, the police had to cut him free from his car... it was a collision with a truck I think..."

Azmaria hurried over to her "The doctors said he will be unconscious for a while... it was quite critical at the moment" glittering tears trailed down over her red cheeks. Rosette felt her eyes sting as well, her vision started to get slightly blurry.

Joshua pulled Azmaria into his arms and patted her back gently "I think both his legs are broken... and a few of his ribs" the blonde boy said "He had a few open wounds as well, but they weren't so bad... the truck driver only got a great shock from the collision..."

Shader held on to Neko "We came in that exact minute on our way home and saw Joshy and Azzy" Shader said "We drove them to the hospital"

"When are we allowed to see him?" Rosette asked concerned. She mostly wanted to go in there right at that moment. Joshua shook his head "We don't know yet..."he answered.

First two days later they were allowed to visit him. He was still asleep when Joshua, Azmaria and Rosette came. Rosette hadn't been able to sleep in the time they had to wait. She was worried sick about Chrono.

A nurse showed them the room; she told them he wouldn't wake up yet and that they had to be quiet. When she had left the three of them entered. Chrono looked horrible, his face was beaten up and he had a lot attached to his wrists. His mouth and nose was covered by an oxygen mask (If it's called that -.-). Rosette almost couldn't look at him, but she entered the room anyway as Joshua did.

Azmaria's eyes began to water at the sight. Joshua pulled her close to him with an arm draped around her shoulder. Rosette stepped over near the bed Chrono was lying in. She placed a warm hand on his. He didn't wake up however as they were there. They had to leave him asleep.

Rosette visited him alone a few days after. It was about three days later.

The young man was still asleep. Rosette sat down next to his bed in a chair and placed a hand on his. She sighed "I'm sorry Chrono... I feel so guilty... if it weren't for me, this would never have happened" she whispered.

Suddenly the door was opened and a familiar person stepped inside. The person froze as she saw the blonde at the bed. Rosette narrowed her eyes at her "Hello Satella..." she grumbled. Satella sighed "Hello Rosette" she greeted back and stepped over onto the other side of the bed. Her eyes turned sad "How is he?"

Rosette shook her head "He hasn't woken up yet..." she replied quietly "It shouldn't be long though"

The red haired girl smiled "That's good"

"Yea"

Silence engulfed the room. Only the small piercing beeps from the machines around them could be heard. Satella shifted slightly "You know-" she began "I think I have accepted his decision... for whatever reason he chose you"

Rosette looked up at her, but she kept her eyes on Chrono "What?"

"Don't rub it into my face Blondie... I gave up... I now see, I would never be able to make him like me as he likes you" her eyes strayed over to the blonde's hand on his "No matter how much I want him to"

Rosette looked down "I'm sorry" she whispered "But I'm sure one like you can get any boy she wants"

Satella huffed "Oh sure... any boy except him"

"Hey, what about Aion? It is possible you know?"

"Ha... Aion? Aion is a dork"

Rosette sweat dropped "I know... but I'm sure he can be nice if you talk with him"

Satella narrowed her eyes at the blonde "Don't even think about playing matchmaker here"

Rosette crossed her arms over her chest "I would never do that" she huffed "Not when you know it at least"

"Then good luck trying" Satella smirked "Though you will need a lot of it"

"Thank you" Rosette smirked back "But beware... don't come and blame me if he is taken"

Satella was about to answer, when a weak groan cut her off. Both girls' eyes flew back down to the purple haired young man. Rosette clasped her hands over his "Chrono?"

His eyes were not even half lidded. He knew something had happened, but he couldn't remember what it was. The angelic voice brought him out of his thoughts "I know that voice..." he thought and looked upwards to notice two pairs of eyes watching him.

"W-Where am I?" he asked, his voice quiet and weak almost inaudible. Rosette leaned down and kissed his cheek "You're in the hospital... you had a car accident" she said to him softly. Satella placed a hand on his other hand "It was pretty bad... you were very lucky" she said with a sad smile.

"Oh... that explains why I feel so knocked out..." he said with a weak laugh. The smile on his face vanished after a few seconds though and was replaced by a painful expression.

"You'll be okay soon Chrono... don't worry" Rosette reassured.

He didn't look at her and closed his eyes "How... How bad is it?"

Rosette explained all about his wounds "You were extremely lucky" she saw the relieved look cross his face.

A nurse appeared in the door "Excuse me? I'm sorry, but I have to ask you to leave... the doctor wants to examine the patient"

Rosette leaned down and whispered "I'll be back tomorrow Chrono, I promise"

He smiled back at her "I'll wait for you" he whispered back. She was about to leave, when Chrono's voice held her back "No kiss?" he asked a little hurt. Rosette smiled at him and leaned down to quickly plant a peck on his lips, before she and Satella left the room.

"At least he will be better" Satella said "No matter how long it takes"

"It will probably take a long time, but you're right" Rosette replied.

Satella smirked "Now, I'll better be off... it's not good for my image to hang around with a girl from the sticks" she said, flicked her hair over her shoulder and walked off.

Rosette found out she had just been insulted and yelled a few curses and insults back at her. Satella decided to ignore her though. She growled something to herself and then sighed "And here I thought the witch had changed"

AN: Hey again!I don't know if the chapter has become good or bad -.-

I am not in the best mood... so

I feel I'm only followed by bad luck lately.

Please review or comment okay?

Until next chapter.
