I found a cure...

A week or so later...

Pure is walking home from where he parked. He could walk anywhere if he wished but it's all convenient in the end. He goes up to his apartment and his parents aren't home since they're at work. He starts to do his homework which is very easy for him. He is listening to music as he works on it and he starts to sing along to the song Love Scars by Lildaddex. (So with my limited Chromebook from my school I can't find the lyrics right now so the one time I'll not have lyrics posted. Also, I want to get to other things in this chapter. It might be short but I don't know.)

Pure gets done with his homework and he goes to his room and grabs his bag of aerosol cans and puts them on his back. He then goes to his kitchen and starts the dishwasher after putting the rinsed dishes in there and putting the soap in the dispenser. He jogs down the stairs of his apartment complex and goes outside. He takes a jog as he puts his gas mask on. His eyes twitch as his headache comes back. Something inside is telling him this is all too familiar. He shakes the feeling off as he is jogging fast down the road. Cars pass by him as he jogs. 

One car though makes a very sharp and fast left turn and it is about to hit Pure. Pure barely had time to process but his body moved on its own and he jumped 12 feet in the air to dodge it. He lands as the car comes to a stop. The driver gets out and it's no other than Pure's friend Lochlan. "Pure?" Lochlan asked. Pure gives him a blank stare. "You good mate?" Pure gives Lochlan a questioning look. "Sorry, bro, do I know you?" Lochlan gets an offended look. "Come on Pure it's me Lochlan. We've been friends for a year now. Don't tell me you've forgotten me? I know I went to college but come on bro." Pure shrugs. "Sorry dude I don't know you. But, You almost ran me over. Watch where you're going from now on." Pure jogs off down the road. Lochlan shrugs and gets back in his car and drives to college.

Sometime later...

Pure keeps jogging and he passes a certain someone's apartment complex. He comes to a stop and he looks at the building but not at any part of the building but looks at where Charity's apartment would be located. He walks down the road leading to the building. His brain starts to remember memories here. This all gives him a headache. His hair has sparks constantly going through it but he keeps walking through the pain. He makes it to the door and he remembers there is a key under the mat. He lifts the mat and opens the door. He puts the key back under the mat and he starts to climb the stairs that are all too familiar to him which causes his headache to get larger. he climbs the stairs and he stops outside her apartment. His mind starts to throb as he remembers the time he first came back from being kidnapped and he stood out this door with someone. But who..? Well, he's about to find out. He knocks on the door and he waits for a minute.

Inside the apartment...

Charity is sitting in her room doing homework and she hears a knock at the door. She isn't expecting anyone. She gets up and goes to the door and looks through the peephole and to her surprised she sees Pure. She opens the door. "Pure?" Pure looks to her surprised. "Oh, You live here. I don't know why but this place was calling to me. May I come in?" Pure asks and Charity is slightly flustered from her surprise. "Yeah, come in." Pure thanks her as he walks in. "This seems all too familiar to me." He looks to the wall where his mind sparks as he remembers the night of prom. He remembers their "fun time." He blushes. "I don't know why... But, I feel like you meant more to me before my accident..." Charity blushes and stands there awkwardly. "I mean... I'm not gonna lie to you Pure... You did mean a lot to me and I meant a lot to you... Pure... I think it's time I show you something... Come with me." Charity leads Pure to her loft. She sits down by her electric keyboard and grabs her guitar. "I hope you will remember this song. It was the one you showed me before we split our paths. Please remember." Charity starts to play her guitar a soft melody and starts to sing. (Play the song at the top now and just imagine it's a girl singing it but I feel like the song captures so much in this story. It'll set the mood.)

Aye
I know that you're angry
Nothing seems fair
In a dark place
Yeah I've been there
Pass you in the hallway
When the bell goes
I can be your white knight
You can be my red rose

I know that you're angry
You can tell me
I can be there
And keep you healthy

I just want to love you
And make the pain go
We're in a different class, but the same boat

We might sink
But baby you can climb on in
Highschool is nothing but a pile of shits
Skip class

I don't care what my classmates say
It's too fun digging my own grave

We might sink
But baby you can climb on in
Highschool is nothing but a pile of shits
Skip class

I don't care what my classmates say
It's too fun digging my own grave
It's too fun digging my own grave
It's too fun digging my own grave

Pure jumps in and starts singing which surprises Charity at first but she keeps playing her guitar and switching up to her piano whilst smiling and has a tear in her eyes.

Aye
I know that you're angry
Nothing seems fair
In a dark place
Yeah I've been there
Pass you in the hallway
When the bell goes
I can be your white knight
You can be my red rose
I know that you're angry
You can tell me
I can be there
And keep you healthy

I just want to love you
And make the pain go
We're in a different class, but the same boat
Yeah

We might sink
But baby you can climb on in
Highschool is nothing but a pile of shits
Skip class

I don't care what my classmates say
It's too fun digging my own grave

We might sink
But baby you can climb on in
Highschool is nothing but a pile of shits
Skip class

I don't care what my classmates say
It's too fun digging my own grave
It's too fun digging my own grave
It's too fun digging my own grave

I don't even know where I belong
Only feel okay when I write sad songs
I see you sit alone in your car at lunch
I'm thinking that we both deserve some love

I don't even know where I belong
Only feel okay when I write sad songs

Pure gets out of the trance he was in when he was singing. "Why... Do I know that song..? I've never heard that song before in my life..." Charity gives a sad smile. "You showed me that song. You always told me it was something you never hoped to happen to us because you loved us. Now I know that doesn't make sense to you but this song always spoke to you. It's been stuck in my head for 2 months now ever since I saw you last." Pure gives a very confused look. "What do you mean?  I never met you before today..." Charity looks hurt and grabs Pure's hand. "I think this is the last thing you need to see... Maybe it'll help you..." Charity pulls Pure along who willingly follows. She stops outside the door of her room. "This room behind me is my room. My private sanctuary. We spent so much time together here... I want you to remember the life you had..." Charity opens her door and walks in and Pure enters cautiously as he looks around.

He sees a room that gives him a major headache. He looks at the walls that have pictures of him and Charity together he grabs the side of his head as the sparks go through his hair and hand. He looks at the ones posted on Charity's bed. He sees a photo of him and Charity on their first date. Him kissing her cheek as she snaps a photo. He looks at another one where Him, Charity, and Ava are hanging out at Craig's Cruisers. "A-Ava... Charity... What does this mean..?" Charity looks at Pure with tears in her eyes. "I... We meant something to each other... I lost you when you went into that accident... I thought you died and I never would've thought I would see you again... I knew I had to start at ground zero again when I saw you... Pure... I love you..." Charity chokes out those words. Pure is shocked and his mind starts to hurt even more and his body starts to spark all the way through and he grips onto his head and he falls to his knees. Charity is shocked as he goes to approach him. "No don't! This will help him." Frey says from her phone. "I can't just leave him like this!" Charity goes to touch Pure but the shock of his electricity flows through her body and pushes her back against the door. 

Hurting her but she doesn't care. She clenches her teeth and slowly makes her way to Pure. "Pure... I know you're going through a lot right now but just know I'm here for you and I love you... I need you in my life and I'm sorry I caused all this... I know you're strong... I know you have a righteous heart and I know you know a god is out there and he sent you to this earth for a reason... He wants you to save the world from the FPC and I promised to be there by your side throughout it all... I knew I was gonna help you through this because I love you..." Charity reaches and grabs Pure's hand and they hold as Pure is in pain.

Suddenly, Pure's pain ceases and he looks at Charity who smiles weakly at him. "To think... I caused you so much pain and this is my payback... I love you Pure..." Charity then passes out and this obviously scares Pure. "C-Charity... B-baby... I love you..." Pure then kisses Charity's hand as he grabs his phone weakly and speeds dials, Allie.

Allie picks up. "Hey bro, What's up?" Pure sit the phone down by his face. "Allie... Come get me and Charity... We're at her apartment... My battery systems are shocked and I think I injured Charity... Please... Help a bro out..." Allie sounds flustered. "Yeah, bro I'm on my way I'm glad I only live down the street." Pure smiles weakly. "Thank you, Love ya, Allie..." Pure hangs up and puts his phone in his jacket pocket. "I love you Charity... If anything... I should be sorry... I should've believed you... You're everything to me and you tried everything to make sure I came back... You succeeded and I love you so much... I just wish Frey was here..." 

"You know I never really die. I always find a way back to those who need me." Pure looks up weakly and sees a transparent form of Frey. Pure smiles slightly. "You were hiding in her phone weren't you..?" Frey nods and smiles under that mask. "She always talked about you. Nonstop for the past week or so that I've inhabited in her phone trying to get you back. I told her not to hurt you too much but oh well. Well, it's time for me to go home." Pure smirks and so does Frey as he absorbs into Pure's body.  Pure smiles weakly as he closes his eyes. "Love you both and I love you the most Charity... I'll never abandon you again... Because through a distorted lens..."

"I found a cure..."

"I love you..."

(Hey guys, Charity here. Pure went to work and I had the day off so I decided to finish this chapter for him and it'll give him a good smile at work. He gets stressed about work so much that I worry about him a lot. I love him to no end. I hope he reads this at work and gets a good laugh. Anyways, I'll see you all in the other stories. Charity the Shadow Queen signing off.)
