Chapter 84. Buddy?

Seeing her in this state was so hard for Sandy. He knew that she could never forgive herself for not standing with him. He even knew that she would give up on her life. He was aware of this before. But he couldn't save her. The mere thought made him vulnerable as his tears didn't stop anytime. 

More than the shock by Rose's sudden state, Alex was startled by the same intensity of love Sandy had for Rose. Why didn't he see this before? Why couldn't he find his old buddy living inside this dark facade? Alex took two minutes to gather himself as he got inside his car to drive while Sandy and Rose were seated in the back seat.

"Rose, wake up" Sandy was continuously slapping her cheeks. But she looked paler than before and didn't even breathe. It scared the shit out of them. 

Sandy smashed his lips over hers without any second thought to help her at least breathe. The best thing was that she responded to the kiss after a few seconds and started breathing slowly.
