A/N: Next chapter
Rosette's thoughts were interrupted by a loud crash coming from the kitchen. She got up from the couch "Chrono, is everything alright?" she called, but there was no answer though. Nyx came running into the living room and disappeared under the couch.
The black cat hissed at the door.
Rosette called Chrono's name one more time, but the house stayed silent. Then she began heading towards the kitchen, though she had a bit difficulty in finding it. When there, she saw the young man lying on the floor groaning "Chrono!" she called out and hurried to his side "Chrono what happened?" she asked worried.
She looked around the room, a coffee cup lying crashed on the floor, nothing else "R-Rosette" he groaned, trying to get up "It's nothing, I get this sometimes" he said to reassure her, but she wasn't convinced "You have to lie down" she told him and helped him into the living room.
He looked at her, his golden eyes looking weary at her.
Wait a minute… golden? Weren't his eyes red? She thought and looked at them one more time. Chrono had turned his face away from her though. Her eyes suddenly widened even more "H-His ears… they're pointed…" until some hair fell down and covered his face, hiding his ear as well.
Rosette shook her head "No, it must have been my imagination" she thought "A lot has happened today, I'm just tired"
She made Chrono lie down on the couch and pulled a blanket up to his chin "Thank you Rosette" he said with a smile. Nyx came out from under the couch and hurried out the room.
"What happened? Shouldn't you go see a doctor if this happens all the time?" she asked concerned, but he shook his head in a no "It isn't that bad, just a little condition I get sometimes"
"Are you sure?"
He smiled at her again "I am sure" he answered and made her sit down beside him "Now tell me one thing…" he began and looked up at her "How can you love a guy who spends more time with his ex than his real girlfriend?" he asked seriously "He has obviously lied to you and he has left you alone so often for so long"
Rosette looked down at the floor, her eyes sad "I…I don't know… he means so much to me, but it hurts so much when he does it" she whispered "I told you Aion and I met in town, he saved me from some "bullies" and since then… I felt thankful for him and thought, I couldn't leave him… I had to make up for what he did for me"
"So you don't care if he leaves you alone because of another girl?" he asked unbelieving "You wouldn't care if he maybe had an affair with this other girl and was cheating on you?"
"That's not true, I would care… I really would" she trailed off and got up from the couch "He wouldn't do that to me…he told me he would always love me"
"Why do you think he is so secretive towards you? He is definitely hiding something from you" Chrono said and got up as well, almost stumbling "As a friend I have to tell you the truth and protect you from being hurt… I know we have no proof, but why would he do that to you then if not because he had secrets about that other woman?"
"Stop Chrono… please you don't know him…" she whimpered and turned her back to him "I don't wanna hear anything about it"
Chrono gave her a sad look "But what if I'm right" he said in a low voice "What if he doesn't love you as much as you think?" he saw her wince at that and sighed "You know you're not alone anymore, I'm your friend and will always be… even though we've only known each other for about two days"
She didn't say anything; her arms hang down at her sides, her face looking downwards. He moved over to stand behind her "I don't mean to hurt you by saying this Rosette, and I'm really sorry if I do"
She turned her face slightly towards him, he put a hand on her shoulder "I just think he is more than a little suspicious" She nodded "I'm going to ask him out tomorrow" she replied, just before she turned around and glared at him "What are you doing up? Lay down and rest, you just had a weakening spell" she said and pushed him towards the couch again.
Then she disappeared out into the kitchen to clean up the broken cup on the floor. He looked at her disappearing form and thought that maybe she just needed a bit privacy now.
"Maybe I shouldn't have told her that" he thought and closed his eyes when she was gone out of sight and he started hearing scrambling from the kitchen.
When Rosette had thrown the broken pieces into the garbage, she just stood there in the middle of the kitchen and thought about Chrono's words "Chrono can't be right…" she thought "Aion would never do something like that"
She looked down when she suddenly felt Nyx's soft fur brush against her leg. She picked the black cat up and hugged it "You're so sweet Nyx" she whispered "Thank you for trying to cheer me up"
A/N: Okay, this was a strange and very short chapter. I hope you liked it anyway though…
