Back In My Life
Prologue:
The Song that Broke My Heart, Again...
'Late again... Miss White is going to kill me!' Roxas thought as he ran down the long hallway to his music class. This was his least favorite part of the day because his campus was so large and he had the last (12:15) lunch then music. The cafeteria was at the other end of the school than the music room. He was late at least once or twice every month.
Miss Namine White was a very understanding teacher. She knew that Roxas had last lunch, and that he basically had to run to his locker, then make a mad dash to her room. Four miniuts is barely enough time to do anything, let alone run the whole length school at least 4 times a day (Lunch and back, plus Computer Skills and back). She never punished him, only gave him stern warnings. She always felt bad for her high school students.
Roxas burst into the room as usual. He always noticed he was the last one to the class everyday. Even the slackers were here before him. "Thank you for joining us today, Mr. Strife," Namine giggled as she watched the young blonde stumble up to the second to last row.
"I'm sorry for being late again, Miss White. The lunch lady wouldn't let me out for some reason. I don't really know," Roxas awkwardly laughed. He loved this class because he loved to sing. He got almost every solo at every concert. The only times he didn't, Axel, a fiery redhead, got it. But when the day came for the concert, the redhead chickened out, and gave the part to Roxas.
"Oh, that's okay," she laughed. The teacher had such an angelic voice, that her laughs sounded like chimes. She had once been a famous Artist, but then deiced to settle down and become a music teacher. No one really knew the reason for her sudden change in interest. "Today I want to see how some of your songs are coming. Zexion, you first." Roxas ignored her. Zexion was an emo kid who only sang about sad things. Not really what Roxas needed right now.
The blonde had dated Axel at one point, for nine months actually. Then things stopped being fun, because the redhead kept getting grounded. Roxas soon became depressed. Axel broke it off since he couldn't handle the blonde looking so sad (and he had commitment issues). He still wanted to be friends, because he knew it would hurt Roxas more to lose him altogether. A month later, Roxas had tried to date Demyx, one of Axel's band-mates. That only lasted a week before Roxas asked Axel to tell Demyx that he wasn't ready to date again. Even though it had been a year since then, he still loved Axel.
"Axel, it's your turn," Namine smiled brightly at him.
"Do I have to? You know I don't like singing in front of the class," Axel complained. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his class, mostly Roxas. He would never admit it to anyone that he still loved the short blonde. He dated as many people as possible to forget about how he had hurt his Roxy. No... Not his Roxy... Roxas hadn't been his in over a year. If he sung he song he wrote, everyone would know his little secret. He still loved Roxas, so much that it hurt.
"Fine. But please bring the..." Namine stopped talking when she heard the most beautiful sound.
Axel was sining.
"I know I've hurt you many times
I can't explain what I do
But all I need is to explain my love for you..." He trailed off. Roxas had turned around to stare at him (So had most of the girls in the class, too). Roxas turned back to the front of the class, almost ready to cry. He loved the way Axel sang. When they were dating he would play songs for Roxas every time he when to the blondes house. He only ever sang to Roxas, which made him hope that the blonde understood.
"Axel... I'm at a lose for words. This is the first time you've been able to sing in front of the class!" Namine clapped for joy. The bell rang shortly after. Roxas took this chance to run out of the room as fast as he could. He had free-period next, so he mad-dashed to his home room.

A/N: I just wanted to clear some things up. This will be longer, this is only the prologue. This is based on a dream I had a couple of nights ago, and it won't leave my head unless I write it down. It was actually me and my ex-boyfriend. Me being Roxas, and my ex being Axel. The lyrics were the only thing stuck in my head, and I also knew it happened during music class. So I put two, and two together and got this idea for a story. The rest will be in Roxy's point of view. Or sometimes Axel's, if I get bored.
Oh, and I'm a girl, despite my name being Eddie. ^_^
Love you, my dear reader!
