rosemary || c.r

part thirteen

chandler

i noticed that the counter guy was looking at us funny and it made me nervous. rosemary simply ignored it but i couldnt, am i wanted?

i guess he noticed my confusion and came over, and only looked to me. he wore an old, dusty apron with the logo for the pizzeria on it.

"can i help with anything here?" he asked, i ignored his nervousness.

"no, i think were okay, thanks though." i tel him, he looks confused again as he goes back to the counter. i see him pick up a phone,

he only presses three times on the dial pad.

"rosemary, we have to leave now, hes calling 911." i whisper to her. she looks at me with wide eyes and stands immediately. i stand up as well and place my hand on her back.

were stopped by the locked door, i gulp down. "sir? the door its locked and we'd like to leave," i pretend i dont know what he had done.

he quickly sprints into the kitchen, i leave rosemarys side and run after him, i find him and take ahold of his arm.

"let me go!" he shouts, i punch him in the face, knocking him out. i drag him behind the counter.

"rosemary, cmon!" i shout and she runs behind it, we try to leave out the back door but hear car doors shut. "shit," i mumble under my breath.

"chandler, im so sorry," she says, i notice shes holding onto me tightly, so tightly i might loose feeling in that arm.

"this isnt your fault, okay? its not, its mine," she goes to respond but police enter, i quickly drag her back over to the guy and pick him up, placing a pizza cutter to his neck, rosemary beside me.

"put it down and put yours hands up!" the lady screamed from in front of the counter. i gulp down as the man wakes up from my punch. he scrambles but i keep him in place.

i keep silent, hoping they will leave or that this is a dream and that rosemary and i will wake up still in my house and she'll make me eggs and we will talk about who knows what.

we would fight but make up because thats what we always do, and i would tell her i love her and she would same. and that she would occasionally call her mother to check in and when she hung up i would confort her until she falls asleep in my arms.

but thats nothing right now, we stand here, fully awake with guns pointed at us, and them ready to take us to jail.

i couldnt remember my last time in jail, i think it was for stealing something when i was 14, i may be wrong but thats what i remember. poor rosemary will never get out now, im expecting life in jail, so is she.

but i hear a pullback on the gun, all of them are only pointing to me, not her. maybe they think shes a hostage.

"chandler its just you and me right now, put it down, let him go." the officer tells me, and i hadnt noticed she was the only one in here. with one gun.

"its not just you and me," i shake my head, i feel rosemarys hand on my side.

"yes, it is, besides him," she tells me. suddenly i dont feel her anymore. i turn my head and shes gone.

"rosemary?!" i call out. "where is she?!" i shout at the officer.

"where is who chandler? who is rosemary?" i look down, i havent been stabbed, or shot or any harm why do i fee like this?

"rosemary! the short little blonde girl that was right behind me! the one i came here with! where is she?" i bellowed at the officer.

"there is no rosemary," she tells me. i feel the tears come, she wasnt real? that whole thing, and she wasnt real!

"no...no! thats impossible!" i shout, throwing the man to the ground, he scurries around the counter. "shes alive where did you take her!"

"she must have been a figment of your imagination chandler, there was no rosemary when i came in here."

the tears arent stoppable anymore, i force myself to put the slicer down, she lowers her gun and comes around and handcuffs me. i gulp, rosemary was never real.

i never kidnapped her, i never hurt her, i never got her back, never even actually touched her. it all was a big lie.

i fooled myself, i tricked my heart into loving someone who wasnt even there.maybe because i was lonely, maybe it was just because i was crazy.

possibly it was just because i needed someone...but i know that even if she wasnt real, ill never forget rosemary or what she did to me, she left me heartbroken.
