Chapter 4

And that's when her heart broke. The lights reflected in Chrono's tears.

A needle was jabbed inside a vein in Chrono's upper arm...

'CHRONO!' Rosette's face became overwhelmed with sheer panic. She rushed down towards him placing a hand on his strangely hot flushed cheek.

His breathing was loud and irregularly slow. His skin was paler than normal like a marble statue. The redness of his eyes were dull and lifeless and drowsy, looking towards the ceiling like he was in so sort of trance. The corner of his mouth was slightly open as vomit of some sort was drooling out.

Rosette was speechless, she had no clue on what to do. She slowly took out the needle with her sleeve. No she wouldn't cry. She had to be strong for Chrono! She had too. She placed both her hands on his cheeks and looked into his drowsy eyes. She gently kissed his flushed forehead. She wasn't going to give up that easy.

She carefully placed her arm under his and lifted him to his feet. His legs were flimsy like a puppet without the puppeteer holding the strings. To her surprise, Chrono was rather light and wasn't to much for her to carry him to the sofa. She placed him down and picked up his legs onto the sofa. Mumbles escaped his pale lips but the words were to slurred for Rosette to understand. Rosette quickly fount two flannels and grabbed the blanket to place over him. She swept away his purples bangs and placed the flannel on his forehead and used the other one to clean up his mouth. Another, yet clearer mumble escaped his lips.

'Rose...' His soft husky voice was slurred and sedative.

'Shhh, it'll be okay..' Rosette spoke in her soft mothering tone. Chrono eye lids fluttered closed and the mumbling stopped. Rosette could still his chest fall and rise to the irregular and slow heartbeats. Rosette didn't have much clue on what Chrono had actually injected himself with as drugs weren't something she knew a lot about but made a mental note to do some research in the future, but right now her main concern was Chrono's health. Chrono had not mentioned to Rosette about his punishment by Pandemonium about him not being able to die.

Every couple of minutes, Chrono would weakly open his eyes and mumble then returned back with his eyes closed again, this had been happening for 15 minutes now as Rosette was too afraid to leave his side in fear that she would lose him.

'Why...' Rosette said sadly with a sigh. She stood up and went back to bed.


10:44 AM

Rosette was rudely awoke by the sound of her phone on her bedside table.

'What..?' She answered with a loud unpleasant yawn,rubbing her eyes.

'S-sorry...d-did I wake you Rosette? I can call back later.' A familiar yet nervous angelic voice spoke through the phone. Azmaria.

'Naw it's fine Az. What's up?' Rosette remembered that today was the day she was off to visit Azmaria in the countryside, two hours away from New york. Azmaria lived on a small ranch with her parents (as Azmaria had been reincarnated) Luckily, her parents were away this week so Rosette wouldn't have to make her parents put up with Chrono...

'I-i was just making sure that there are no change in plans?'

'No ther-' Crap, I forget that Chrono will be coming. 'Well...I'll be bringing someone with me...' Azmaria stayed silent waiting for Rosette to continue.

'Chrono will be coming..' Rosette heard the albino jump with joy at the mention of his name but she soon stop as Rosette's voice concerned her.

'Is he okay?' Azmaria asked.

'He's been alive..all alone for 80 years..he doesn't remember much. He's not the Chrono we once knew.' Rosette had to close her eyes to stop her from crying.

'Oh...' Rosette went on to tell Azmaria the rest of the story and the plan that Azmaria must pretend she never knew him for 80 years ago, for Chrono's sake.

Rosette said her goodbye and quickly raced downstair towards the kitchen and spotted a still drowsy Chrono slouched on the kitchen chair. Rosette analysed his condition. She noticed the mosquito bites that were abnormally larger which she noted as scars from syringes. His mouth looked dry and his eye were more alive-looking than last night but were still visibly drowsy.

Rosette turned the kettle on. 'What happen last night,Chrono?' She asked casually, hiding that fact that she was concerned. She placed a hand on his hand but he quickly took his hand back and gave her an angry yet drowsy glare. He leaned back into his chair and shrugged. 'The usual..' Rosettes patiences was decreasing rapidly, she was fed up of playing nice with him. She clenched her fists.

'...You're gonna end up dead!'

' I'm not...'

'You are!'

'Am not...'

'Yes, you are!'

'I cant...'

Pause.

'Were's the rest of that 'stuff'' ?

He shrugged.

'FOR GOD SAKE! How am I ever going to get through to you?'

The kettle stopped. Silence.

Rosette stormed to the living room and scavenged through Chrono's two plastic bags and saw some white powder in a small plastic wallet. Rosette had no idea what her intentions were at this point, she just went with her gut feeling. Rosette entered back to the kitchen and through it on the table. Chrono looked up at her in confusion, he was more awake now.

'Eat it!' Rosette demanded.

'What?..'

'Why wont you eat it now in front of me? Going on!' She was pushing him too far but it was the only way.

'Why...?'

'EAT IT!' She banged her hands on the table. Chrono jumped in his sit. Chrono was overcome with fear and panic.

'Why are you doing this to me!?' He tried to shout as loud as he could but his voice was a coughing whisper. Rosette sighed and sat down on the chair next to him.

' I want to save you! B-but I cant help you If you wont try!...' She said desperately.

' I never asked to be saved. I never asked for you rescue me. I never asked you to be my saviour!.' Rosette knew that no one would be happy the way that Chrono was living, she knew deep inside that he desperately wanted to come with Ewan and herself. He had been building up a wall around himself, away from society, the wall had gotten so high to the point were Chrono's mind became void of self destruction, were he was denying every memory that flashed in his mind. And Rosette's mission was to break down that wall.

' Chrono...your mind is..is so fucked up with drugs that you don't have the control to think straight any more.' Rosette felt scared swearing at Chrono but she thought that being violent and straightforward was getting somewhere. Chrono leaned back into his chair with a sigh.

'You're denying every memory that you have of me...I cant let you do that. Please Chrono, let me help you.'

Chrono stayed silent for a moment. 'Fine...But you don't know what you're getting yourself into.'

' Oh I know exactly what I'm getting myself into.' She changed the subject; 'We're having breakfast then we're of to the countryside! And don't you even think about arguing!' She said cheerfully. She knew exactly how hard this would be for her, for both of them but she needed Chrono no matter how much he had changed. Something inside of her was pulling at her heartstrings telling her after all these years, she still loved him.
