Hey guys! I have a new story! Sorry if you are waiting for Captured or Heartless Alchemist. I haven't had time to work on them and I've been in a not-so-good mood lately so... I end up writing a Character abuse story! xD A lot of this story is based on my life right now [like parents fighting(no abuse though! just some strong and loud arguments!) and Roxas hurting himself -_-"sad to say] and I just wanted to express myself in the only way I knew how to... through writing fanfiction! Hope you like!


They were fighting again; I could hear Tifa and Zack yelling at each other from my room upstairs. I knew Zack must have had a very bad day at work today. He always stopped by Seventh Heaven whenever he had a bad day and then would come home like this. It never used to be like this though. We used to be a family; we used to be happy together. I wondered what could have changed. Zack's voice rose; their argument was getting even more intense now. Something hit the wall and shattered into a million pieces, it must have been a glass. I winced as another glass hit the wall. This was turning out to be the worst fight yet. It got quite for a moment before Zack began to yell again. I wanted to do something but I knew that if I did it would just cause more trouble for all of us. I heard a muffled sob coming from the room next to mine; Namine's room.

Namine is my twin sister and we are very close; I could always tell when she was upset. I walked to Namine's room, listening to the war that was still raging downstairs. When I reached he room I knocked lightly on the door. "Nami?" There was no answer from the other side of the door. I knocked a bit harder this time. "Nami, I'm coming in."I opened the door and entered her room. Everything was white and clean; the bed, walls, carpet and desk in her room was all kept so clean that it looked brand new. I saw Namine sitting on her bed with her sketch book in front of her and coloured pencils scattered around her. Her eyes were red and tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked up at me. "Nami what's the matter?" I moved to go sit down next to her and moved some of the coloured pencils out of the way before sitting down.

I looked at Namine and could see that she was shaking badly. She looked back at me with her sapphire blue eyes filled with sadness before speaking. "There fighting and Zack's drunk… again. Isn't he?" I bit my lip and nodded "Yea…" Namine wiped at the tears on her cheeks. "What happened to us? We used to be so happy together! Why can't everything go back to the way it was?" Her voice wavered as she spoke and she was still shaking when I pulled her closer to me. She leaned on me and placed her head on my shoulder. Even though we were the same age I felt like I was responsible for her. I guess I'm just and overprotected brother but I couldn't help it, she seemed so fragile and I didn't want her getting hurt. I ran my fingers through her hair slowly as an attempt to calm her down. "I want it to go back too Nami but we can't change the past." Namine let out a shaky sigh. "I know but I just want things to bet better. I want us to be a family again." "Things will get better, I promise. We just have to be patient." I gave her a small hug before letting go of her. We sat there on the bed in an eerie silence that had settled over the house. Namine seemed to be calming down; her breathing was steady and she had stopped shaking. She began to pick the coloured pencils up and I helped her. We got up and set the pencils down along with her sketch book on the desk on the other side of the room right as a scream broke through the silence. The scream was Tifa's.


Sorry for such a short chapter! ^_^; it was supposed to be longer but I'm typing this at school (Because I'm grounded for a bad grade. Ironic? xD) and I only had a half an hour to type . but anyways I hopped you like it! Zack's a meanie isn't he!?! :]
