All alone… The world is so big yet I am so small. My parents left a pair of eight year old twins behind in the accident. Yet we do have a family that lives in South Carolina that we orphaned twins must go. Nobody would want us.
Now here we are packing our stuff in our matching blue suitcases and duffle bags. I had folded my favorite blue T-shirt which was the last article of clothing I had to pack. I'm off to getting the belongings I really want. I grabbed my stuff off of my bed like my favorite cat beanie baby named Scat. I've had her since I was a baby.
I looked over at my twin brother to see him wiping away salty tears from his big blue eyes and snot from his runny nose. He shoved his stuff in his bag messily. He got up from his spot on his bed and stumbled into the bathroom. I slowly got up from my spot on the purple carpet of our room and walked over to the bathroom. My hands shook nervously as I knocked on the door.
"Ven, are you ok?" I asked as I heard the sobbing stop.
"I-I'm fine," I heard it in his voice that he was holding back tears.
"Are you sure? Do you want me to come in?" I asked.
"I said I'm fine and just because we're twins doesn't mean we have to pee together," he replied.
"Ok," I said as I began to walk back to our room when I stopped and stared at our parent's room. I slowly walked over and opened the white door. I looked around to see a family photo of us. Mom was holding me and Dad was holding Ventus. Then something caught my eye; a necklace. It was a weird symbol, like a cross, but it's shiny and silver. I was intrigued by it so I picked it up and shoved it in my pocket along with the photo but the frame wouldn't fit. Then I yanked open their closet and saw my mom's dressed. Then I grabbed my Dad's hoodies and slung it over my small shoulder.
I walked out of the room back to mine and shoved the stuff into my bag. Ven's sobbing was the only thing I heard. He was shuffling back into our room. His eyes were puffy and his face was red. My twin plopped onto his bare bed curling up in a ball and continued to cry. I sat down next to him and began to rub his back softly.
"Shh, its ok Ven. We'll be ok." I hushed him. The small boy trembled under my touch. His small hands clung to my blue shirt and buried his face in my stomach. He wrapped his pudgy arms around my abdomen as he continued to cry staining my shirt.
"Why? Why did mommy and daddy have to leave us?" Ven asked. His voice was muffled by my shirt since his face was pressed against it.
"I don't know," I replied to my twin as I began to rock him back and forth.
Later that day the neighbors escorted us to the airport where we boarded a plane to South Carolina. I hated planes and I wanted to get off yet I wanted to stay. The flight felt like months going by; agonizing months. So I drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
"Rox, we're here," Ven said waking me up with his voice and softly shaking me.
The flight attendant had to help us off since we were too young. Ventus and I grabbed our bags and looked for a sign with our names on it. I felt Ven's hand searching for mine. I reached out and our fingers intertwined as we searched. It was like finding the needle in the hay stack only it was find the sign in the people stack.
Ventus suddenly jerked on my hand yanking me around. He began to drag me along with him to God knows where.
"Ven, where are we going?" I yelled.
"I found them," he replied. I looked up from the ground to see a sign with our names on it.
"Are you two my nephews?" a tall blond man asked.
"Depends, are you my uncle?" I snapped at him. The man just laughed and messed up my blond spikes, which are natural!
"Haha, you two are so cute!" He smiled as the man holding the sign took our bags, "I'm your Uncle Cloud and he's your Uncle Leon."
"Well I'm Roxas and he's Ventus," I said. Ven squeezed my hand and trembled slightly. "Ven, don't you want to say hi to the people that we're forced to live with?" I smiled a little.
"I don't want to talk to them, or anyone but you," my twin whispered in my ear. My hearts sank a little as I squeezed his hand telling him I understand.
Try to guess who the older twin is… No, it's not me. Ventus is older than me by fifteen minutes. My mom actually didn't know about me because Ven was so big. The way to tell us apart is Ven is a little chubbier than me because he took all the food when we were in my mom's belly. Yet I know that will change once we grow more. The thing is I act more like an older brother. My mom told me that I am maturing faster than my brother which doesn't bother me.
Cloud took us to his black minivan to go to our new home. The car ride was pretty silent. Ven just looked out the window the entire time. He is beginning to worry me since usually the boy never stops talking. Even when he lost his voice he never stopped talking. Now that I look at him so silent it makes me feel uncomfortable and weird.
The car came to a halt at an average looking white house. My new home. I'm still processing the fact that my parents are dead, next I need to process that I'm living with my gay uncle in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach. This is too much for an eight year old to take! I guess Ventus just needs to process everything and he'll be fine. I hope…
I opened the door to see a brunette boy about my age sitting on a black couch. He must be my cousin.
The boy was smiling at me as he hopped out of his seat and hugged me.
"Hi, I'm Sora and I guess I'm your cousin!" he smiled. This boy was way too happy, but I guess he's alright. He seems like a friendly boy.
Next Cloud showed Ven and me our room. It was Sora's room but there was another drawer and bunk beds. I got the bottom. My twin and I unpacked and as time passed Ven began talking to our new family.
When I say 'time passed' I mean years.
Years passed and I have a nice little group of friends. I also learned how to skateboard and that's what my friends and I do. We're in high school now and I was right, Ven is about as thin as me as we grew. I usually wear my dad's sweatshirt that I took and the necklace that I took too.
"Yo Rox," I heard my best friend, Hayner say. He gave me our favorite sea salt ice cream that we all ate at the beach.
We are like a small gang, well we are. Yet there is this other gang that joined us because of me. I'm in a bad relationship with this gang leader named Seifer. He always hits me and beats me and calls me names, but I have no one that loves me. I just want someone to hold me and kiss me. Seifer is the closest thing I got.
"Roxas where did you get that bruise from?" my brunette friend asked as she pointed to the painful black and blue on my arm.
"I-I fell," I quickly replied covering the wound from my abusive boyfriend.
"Somehow I don't believe that," the chubby one next to her said, "It looks more like you got into a fight." Damn you Pence. He is the smarter on out of us, but he is very laid back.
"It's nothing, really," I said as I took the popsicle stick out of my mouth since I finish my ice cream fast.
I really want to tell them about what Seifer does to me but my 'boyfriend; threatens me. He says that if I tell anyone or break up with him, he will hurt me and everyone close to me.
It's Roxas abuse!
"Listen guys, I got to go, I'm meeting up with Seifer today," getting up I ran away with the fear of my friends seeing my tears. Seifer and I usually meet up in an alley.
I walked closer to the alley. Fear filled my entire being almost paralyzing me on the spot. I felt like my heart was about to pound out of my small chest.
"Hey Roxy," his voice made me jump and his breath stank from alcohol, "Come on, I'm not mad at you."
I felt his fingers trail down my arm then back up to my shoulder. I cringed a bit when he started to caress my cheek. Then his hands went up my shirt and rubbed my soft back. My crystal eyes widened as one hand went down my pants. I jumped away from him but the dirty blond pulled me closer. Before I know it I was stripped from my warm clothes and shoved against the brick wall. I know he was naked too. Tears leaked from my eyes as pain shot up my spin and left it tingling. My necklace clinked against the wall as my body was thrust forward. My head pounded and hands shook just like the rest of my body. I knew he was in me, hurting me as I tried to scream, but nothing came out. Sadly, this wasn't the first time I was raped.
I felt fists hit my spine and his nails digging into my soft skin. I closed my eyes hoping this would be all over soon.
Suddenly I saw stars and everything was over as he smashed my head onto the cold wall. Then I blacked out.
