It was never meant to be. As simple as that. It didn't stop the pain though, if anything it seemed to make it worse. They both had known going into the relationship that it wasn't going to last. But still Roxas had let himself get attached. He set himself up to be hurt, it was his own fault. He could have said no from the beginning. He should have said no.

But he hadn't. And now he was left hurt and more alone than he had ever been from the start. He had no one to lean on, no one to even blame but himself. And it still didn't make the pain lessen anymore.

His heart felt like it was on fire. Roxas didn't want to move, it only made the fire worse. He wanted to rip out his heart from his chest, because then, maybe, he wouldn't feel this burning, this emptiness. It felt like he was dying slowly from the inside.

He never should have gotten attached. Because of his own stupidity he was now lying on his floor wishing he was dead. Roxas thought of the person that had caused all this pain.

Axel.

They had been best friends. It seemed right to move it up to the next level. Axel had made it clear that it wasn't personal, that they weren't supposed to feel really anything for each other besides friendship. That's exactly how it had started out to. But somewhere along the line Roxas had grown feelings. He never talked about them and just hid it when Axel left him to actually start a relationship with someone else. He pretended that everything was fine. That his heart wasn't being ripped out on the spot.

Now he was alone. He was more alone and afraid than he had ever been in his life.

This time though, there wasn't going to be anyone to pick up the pieces.
