-1Hello All! I am sorry that it's been awhile, but I'm back! After a very long and tiring day of too much homework, and a teacher that was yelling at me. But my family just got a new computer and it's up and running smoothly. But now the internets not working on the new computer. Why does it seem that something is always wrong with the computers that I use? Anyway thanks to all who reviewed! 46 reviews for 3 chapters, that's awesome! Keep it up and you all will be rewarded, in some way. Oh in this chapter there is a flash back inside a flash back. It starts off where the last chapter left off, then it goes to another flashback, then it goes back to the previous flashback, then it goes back to normal time, so try and stay with me here. Well that's it so sit back relax and enjoy Rose Bud: chapter 4 "Suicide".
"Alright…I'll tell you," Zane said as he began to tell Bastion the story of his attempted suicide. "Do you remember, about two months ago… when I was out of school for…quite some time?"
"Remember?" Bastion asked, "How could I forget. I was scared that something really bad had happened to you, I was scared that you would never return. But I was glad when you did." He snuggled closer to the obelisk and in response the obelisk tightened his hold on the Ra.
"Well something did happen to me." Zane sighed again, remembering the events of that dreadful night. "It was late…maybe around midnight, when I attempted suicide…"
Flashback in a flashback
The moonlight cast a calming glow over the water surrounding Duel Academy. The stars flickered in the sky, and everything was calm, the students asleep, as if not knowing that blood would be spilled this night.
In the Obelisk boys' dorms all was quiet, but a figure hides in the shadows. When he sees that the coast is clear he runs again to another shadow. As he runs, something metal in his hands reflects the moonlight off it's edge. It's a knife.
The figure runs to his room and opens the door. His room is similar to that of the other obelisks. But he ignores his surroundings as he walks to the far wall, where shades covered the plexiglass door.
The figure throws back the shades and the let the moonlight spill into the room. The figure was then revealed to be none other than Zane (A/N: yeah I bet you really saw that coming). As Zane looked down at the knife in his hand he thought about why he was doing this in the first place.
'Bastion Misawa" Zane had been depressed ever since Chazz had admitted his feelings for Jaden. 'Why hadn't I just told Chazz then and there. It would have taken a lot of pressure off of me. Then…maybe I wouldn't have resorted to this…' Zane closed his eyes in self-disgust as he knelt before the door.
He held out his right wrist and took the knife in his left. He had stolen the knife from the kitchen, because he didn't know where else to get one. He put the cold metal edge of the knife against his skin and slowly slid it across his wrist, while pressing down fairly hard, as it cut into his vein.
He gasped and bit his lip at the pain, but he continued as the blood flowed freely from the wound. He did this two more times, before switching the knife to his now shaking and bloody right hand. He made the same three cuts and just watched as the blood, and his life, slowly slipped away.
He lay down on the floor as he became weaker and weaker. Just as his vision was going black, he heard the door to his room being slammed open.
"Zane!" he heard a cry, then he heard feet against the floor as he turned to see who it was.
Black hair and grey eyes appeared over him. "Chazz," he said in a weak voice.
"Hold on, stay with me here." Chazz ran off, probably to find the emergency first aid kit that was found in every room.
When he came back Zane was still awake, but was taking very shallow breaths. Chazz quickly wrapped all the cuts and put slight pressure on them to stop the bleeding.
"How…how did…you know…to come here?" Zane managed to get out. He was fighting to stay conscious, knowing that if he blacked out, he might never wake up again.
"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk. I saw you run to your room from the kitchens, and I had a feeling of what you were up to. So I quickly called a doctor and ran here as fast as I could."
"Chazz…I don't want…people to know…about this…"
"I know," Chazz said with a smirk, his focus on getting Zane's wounds to stop bleeding. "That's why I called one of my family's personal doctors. Now, aren't you glad my family is so stink'n rich?"
Zane gave a weak smile in return. "Yeah, I guess…now I am."
Chazz's smirk turned into a sad smile. "You did this because of him didn't you?"
Zane looked away, "I don't know who you're talking about."
"Don't play dumb with me, Zane. We both know I'm talking about Bastion." Zane looked at him confused, but before he could ask, Chazz replied, "I saw the looks you were giving him. They were similar to the looks I kept giving Jaden. You know if you had just told me you wouldn't have had to do this."
"I know…I was just…too scared to admit it…to myself."
"I was too, at first," Chazz said reassuringly. He was silent for a minute before asking, "Why do you love him?"
"I don't know…probably for the same reason…that you love Jaden." Zane was slowly losing consciousness, but he still hung onto the light of the moon.
Chazz smiled, "Yeah, I guess."
Then they heard a chopper outside. "They're here, and I finally got the bleeding to stop!" Chazz looked at Zane's face and saw he was close to going unconscious. "It's okay Zane, they're here. Now sleep. You'll live to see you're your Bastion again, I promise."
"Thank…you," Zane said before closing his eyes.
End Flashback #2
"So, I stayed under the watchful eye of Chazz and his doctor for a month before I returned to classes." Zane finished.
"Wow," Bastion said, in complete shock. "Chazz saved you…wait, his family's rich! How rich!"
"Uhhhh…" Zane looked really guilty all of a sudden. "Well, Chazz made me promise not to tell, but I promise that you'll find out in due time. Okay?"
"Okay," Bastion said pouting slightly.
Zane smiled before looking up at the sky. "Shit!"
"What?" Asked Bastion before realizing that it was dark out. "oops, guess we lost track of time."
"Ya think?" Zane smiled at the Ra. "Come on, let's go." They got up and then walked hand-in-hand back to Bastion's room, where Zane gave him a goodnight kiss and said good bye.
End of Flashback
Present
Bastion had just finished getting dressed, when there was a knock on the door. He went to open it and there, leaning against the door frame, was Zane.
"Morning, baby," he smirked as he gave Bastion a morning kiss.
"Zane! Don't call me that!" Bastion exclaimed, completely embarrassed.
"What," Zane said, acting completely innocent. "Can't a guy give his boyfriend a nickname?"
"I don't…maybe…I'll think about it, alright?"
"Alright, alright I get it. Now, ready to go?"
"Yeah I'm ready," Bastion said as he walked out of the room, closing and locking the door behind him. "Let's go."
After a couple of minutes of walking in silence Bastion spoke up, "hey, how do you think Jaden is this morning?"
"Don't know. We don't even know what happened yesterday after we left them," Zane replied. "The day holds many surprises."
That's all for now guys! Once again I greatly apologize for it being so late, I, quite frankly, blame my good for nothing teachers who just pile on the homework as if they don't even care that we have very busy personal lives. Oh well, I hope you all enjoyed chapter 4. Now please review, and be patient with me because the next one probably will not be out for a while, I haven't even finished writing it yet. PLEASE REVIEW! I am very happy with how many reviews this story has gotten, please continue with the good comments, and such!
