Chapter Three *Madness*

August 16th

Raccoon City, Chris's Apartment

8:30PM

Jill's eyes fluttered open, she felt a warm blanket over her and she noticed that she was laying on something much softer than the leather couch she remembered from the previous night. She was content , but that didn't last long when she discovered Chris's spot empty.

"Chris?" Jill asked tiredly

She sat up, and looked around it was Chris's bedroom. It was simple not overly decorated and surprisingly more tidier than his living room.

Jill looked to her right and noticed her clothes draped on top of a row of drawers. She swiped them and quickly dressed their would be time for a shower later she needed to find Chris.

"Chris!" She yelled for him as she left his room, and entered the living room. Nowhere to be found.

"Where the hell is he?" Jill questioned herself until she noticed a note near his computer, also neatly placed where her car keys.

The note read:

Jill, it's Chris I went in early today. I thought about our conversation last night and I've decided to go to Europe in which the Umbrella HQ is located and take it down. I've gone to the RPD for the last time to get my things, I'll take some vacation time to get better prepared and then I'll leave with Barry.

~Chris

Jill's eyes narrowed, grabbing her car keys she locked the apartment door behind her and ran to her car.

****

August 16th, Raccoon City, RPD Building, STARS Office.

"Where's Chris!" Jill said completely out of breath as she bust through the door to the STARS Office startling Rebecca and Barry who had been working in silence.

"Clam down Jill, what's the matter?" Rebecca asked

"I need to talk to Chris" Jill spat sharply.

"He's downstairs in the Weapon's Storage, but why? What's wrong Jill?" Barry wondered as well.

"I'm sorry,...I just really need a word with him." Jill apoligized and left as quickly as she came.

"What was that all of a sudden?" Barry questioned Rebecca shrugged.

****

Weapons Storage

*****

Chris had been putting one of the STARS custom handguns in a black travel bag along with a healthy number of 9mm bullets.

"Chris!" Jill stormed into the room, stopping in front of him.

"Jill?" Chris questioned her with confusion.

"What the hell is this? Your going to Europe with Barry to take on Umbrella!" Jill was obviously pissed with the whole idea and the fact that he planned on leaving her behind.

Chris was sillent as he continued to do what he was doing.

"I was hoping you wouldn't be difficult." Chris frowned

"Difficult!? Chris, why just you and Barry? I wanna go with you." Jill calmed down a little.

"Jill..." Chris started,his expression was full worry.

"Chris...what? Tell me?" Jill asked him her voice quivered a bit.

"I don't want you to come." Chris stated.

"What?" Jill asked a bit taken aback.

"I don't want anything to happen to you." Chris said turning away from her

"Chris, that isn't fair! Don't you even care about my feelings?" Jill asked

Chris sighed hard in reponse.

"Chris what if your killed? I would be crushed ...I don't think I could go on." Jill looked towards the ceiling to prevent the tears from coming.

Chris shook his head, then looked at Jill.

"Chris? I'm going to help you regardless of what you say." Jill crossed her arms her mind made up. "Jill, don't you realize that I love you too much to let you just go off and get killed." Chris was trying his hardnest to change her mind.

"Didn't last night mean anything to you? Jill voice started to break again

"Of course it did...but..." Chris was lost for words.

"What kind of a relationship do we have if you try to contorl me?" Jill's eyes narrowed at him

"Damn it Jill I'm not trying to control you...I'm...I'm only trying to protect you." Chris pleaded

Jill sighed, and wiped away a stray tear.

"Maybe...this was a mistake." Chris turned away from her again.

"What?" Jill asked unable to believe what she just heard

"Us, maybe "us" is a mistake." Chris retorted alot more clearly

"C-Chris...you don't mean that." Jill whispered, her voice obviously letting out some of the sadness she had pent up.

"Maybe...we're better off just...just being friends..." Chris found himself choking on his words, he didn't really mean it but he wanted Jill to be safe.

"I'm sorry Chris...but my feelings have already ran deep for you...I don't think, I don't think I can be with anyone other than you." Jill sniffled, her vision blurry with tears.

Chris continued to face away from her, he couldn't stand hearing her cry over him but there wasn't anything else he could say. Or rather there were words he couldn't find to say.

"Silence Chris? If you don't want us together than you leave without me...but whatever you decsion Chris *sniff* I'll always be behind you." Jill stated, and left the Armory.

Silence filled the room, Chris was alone, that wasn't what he wanted...

"Damn it!"

****** August 16th

Raccoon City, Jill's Apartment

*Night*

Jill rolled over on her side and sniffled to herself, she didn't want to be all alone, that was something she didn't like. She curled herself until her knees touched her face. She thought blank thoughts and the flower print on her bed begin to blur as fresh new tears filled her eyes and fell down too her mouth were she tasted the salty tears.

*Here I am...all alone... I guess we weren't supposed to be*

*But I believe that we can make it...

*But then again...that's just what "I" believe...

*He called "us" a mistake...

*I told him...that I loved him...he was silent...

*He wants me to be safe...I'd rather die at his side than sit around and worry night and day, just to be safe? What a craven way out of it...I don't wanna live like that.

*Is this really the end?

*Will I ever see you again Chris?

*We've gotta talk...one last time...

Jill closed her eyes, the full moon had shown brightly through her window and onto her face. Her tears shown brilliantly as they cascaded down her face...
