Life is Complicated
A/N: WindLover with a new story! I've had this story on my head for months but I wasn't sure if I would post it... but now I'm sure... so here's the story... Enjoy
My vision blurred as I tried to open my eyes, there was a beeping noise coming from somewhere to my left. I slowly opened my eyes... all I saw was white, white walls and white cieling. I tried sitting up but I couldn't, my body was stiif and I couldn't move anything.
I looked around and I couldn't remember where I was or how I even got to this place. I slowly sat up but flinched once I moved my torso.
"You should lay down." I looked around and my eyes finally fell to a man with spikey blond hair and electrifying blue eyes... he looked familiar but at the same time I didn't recognize him.
"Where... am... I?" I asked sitting up completely and resting my head on the pillows behind me, while keeping my eyes on the man. He slowly stood up, coming to stand next to me. "You're at the hospital, Roxas."
"How do you know my name? And why am I at the hospital?" He gave me this look that said he was clearly annoyed. "I don't know why you're here, or why I'M here. The doctor called me saying that my... son was at the hospital..."
I was confused because I didn't have a father, my mom had said that he left when I was only two... yet I didn't remember anything about him... MOM!
Everything came rushing back to me... my mom, the girl, and the guy who k- NO!
I could still remember the way he was looking at me when he told me to run... how I tried to run as fast as I could but he caught me, how the dagger dug into my skin as he stabbed me. How he smiled as he pulled it out. And the girl, the girl that I had run into when I was running, how she looked startled as she pulled back her hand and it was covered in blood- MY blood... and how I lost conciousness and blacked out.
Right then the doctor came into the room... not the doctor- my uncle. He approached me and smiled, "How are you feeling, Roxas?" I stared down at my bandaged chest, hands and ankle. "Honestly, I feel... broken." He chuckled and started writing in his clipboard, he turned to the guy standing behind me... "Can I talked to you alone fo a few minutes, Cloud?" The guy, Cloud nodded and started walking toward the door. "Roxas don't move too much, its going to hurt more if you do." My uncle said. "Of course..." He gave me a reasuring smile, but I wasn't exactly reassured.
I layed back down and stared at the ceiling. I heard the whispering of my uncle and Cloud, outside the door. I tuned out and instead started thinking about the girl, she was clearly scared when I had almost collapsed on her. She must've been the one who called the ambulance. I just hope she was okay- "What!" I heard Cloud yell.
"You must calm down, Cloud. That's why I called you to come to the hospital. Roxas is gonna be okay but you have to take care of him, after all, he is your son..."
"No! I can't. You have to take care of him! He...his mother... what happened to her... doesn't have anything to do with me."
"Yes it does, she... died, and Roxas is YOUR son, which means you have to take care of him. Look she was my sister, it pains me more to have lost her but it also pains Roxas. She was always there... and YOU never were. So if you truly cared about her, you wouldn't have left!"
I felt hot tears burning my skin as they fell from my eyes. I wanted to scream, to run away from this place and never come back; but that would mean loosing my uncle, and I couldn't loose the second most important person to me. I tried to get up, I used all the stregth I had left to climb out of the bed.
"STOP!" I yelled at them as soon as I opened the door. They both turned to me, my uncles face was twisted in anger but when he saw me his expression softened. Cloud's expression was stoic, and that made me angrier. "I'm fifteen, uncle. I should be able to make my own decisions. Cloud, even if he is my father, what makes you think I want to live with him? Its been thirteen years! He had THIRTEEN years to get to know me but he screwed up, so what makes you think that I would go with him?"
"Roxas, you don't have a choice. I am busy at the hospital and your aunt is busy at the restuarant, we can't take care of you. We've always been there for you. and we'll always be there, but now you need your father."
"He isn't my father or anyone I know! He's a complete stranger and I won't go anywhere with him!" I turned to Cloud, "You AREN'T my father, and you will NEVER be my father-" That's all I could manage before my legs gave in and I collapsed against the wall, all I saw was a frown apon Cloud's lips before I blacked out again.
