"Roxas,
I saw you in the wild,
I knew you in the wild."
Prom. It was a significant day of any teenager's life. The dance and dinner was over. The girls stripped away from their beautiful gowns and the guys out of their tuxedos. All teenagers and young adults from different high schools and nearby towns are in the process of flocking to after prom. Out of tradition all the students from my school got together to rent out a camping ground for the night. I was driving myself, along with my girlfriend, Naminé, and Pence to the party.
As we entered the camp ground Pence looked excited about the whole situation, while I remained unsure. There looked to be more then one hundred teenagers here already and I was sure there was a lot more to come. Driving in was always stressful, I had come to this after party ever since I was in grade ten, and the kids from other schools were swarming around to see who we were.
"Roxas!" I heard from outside of the car and I rolled down the window and Hayner popped his head in. A swarm of unknown teenagers followed behind him. They must of been his friends from when he went to one of the other high schools in town.
"Hey Hayner." I forced a smile back at him. Then he took something out of his baggy pockets and it happened to be a beer.
"To get you started." He smirked and handed the beer to me. I took it eagerly and twisted the cap off then took a big swig.
"Thanks man, we are going to our camping area to set up the tent and then we'll find you." I then rolled up the window before he could say anything more and gave the car some gas to make a quick getaway. That is when I noticed Naminé giving me a look out of the corner of my eye.
"You could at least waited until we got to our camp site." She bitched and I put the beer down into the cup holder.
"One beer isn't going to get me drunk before we get to the camping site. All the cops and parents turn a blind eye for us this one night anyways." Naminé and I had been together for about two years and we had a nack for fighting. Everyone thought we were the perfect couple, but they couldn't see all the problems we had behind closed doors.
Finally we made it to our camp site and there was about ten other tents crammed onto our already tiny space. This wasn't surprising. All the people that were not from our school would come while our graduates were still at the dinner and dance and devour the leftover land with their with their tents.
"I told you we should of came last night. Urg." Naminé complained. Keep it together Roxas. It is only one night.
"Well I'm outta here! I already have my tent set up. Pop the truck so I can get my cooler...Roxas?" Pence looked at my worriedly and I had hardly noticed that I was clenching onto the steering wheel with both hands and staring out the window in a daze.
"Hunny?" Naminé leaned in and touched my shoulder and I snapped out of it. I swear I saw him, or maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me again.
"It's nothing, I just thought I saw someone I knew near that bonfire." I then quickly popped the trunk for Pence and he jumped out and departed into the mass of people heading toward the beach. I could tell Naminé was now checking out the people near the small bonfire at the far edge of our camp ground.
"Well, lets go set up the tent and then we can go meet those people." Naminé got out of the car and went to the trunk and pulled out our tent. The next half an hour I set up the tent alone in the little patch of space that was left. Naminé just watched me, not bothering to help, while drinking her sea-salt flavored cooler. Once I finished I rewarded myself with another beer and Naminé came and wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on my shoulder.
"Sorry about earlier." She sighed and I rolled my eyes.
"It's... okay." I lied, but she obviously didn't realize.
Earlier in the evening, after the prom when we went to get changed to go to the after party we had a fight. About sex. Naminé wanted to get it on before we went, but I wasn't really in the mood. So I told her no, kindly, but she turned it into a huge fight. We fought about everything, and usually it was pointless. It was starting to take a toll on me after two years.
My mind returned to the small group of people that were having the bonfire at the edge of the campsite. I wanted to see who was taking up camp on the site I was paying for. So I took a step toward them.
"You still want to see them, they look kind of shady." She still clung to my arm and I looked down at her.
"I'm paying for this site, I can go see who the hell they are if I want." After I finished speaking she let go of my arm and held onto her drink awkwardly as I started to walk towards the others. I looked back to see her slowly following behind me. The others attention slowly turned to me as I got closer.
"Hey!" I waved towards them with the hand I didn't have my beer in. They were somewhat shady looking. One of them had long pinkish hair and was dressed in rather scruffy looking clothing, another had a somewhat devils lock looking hair style, and the last male had a dirty blond mullet hairdo going on, and was the best dressed out of all of them. He was wearing a pair of snug dark wash jeans and a plain white tee-shirt. The last person around the fire I could tell was a woman, so I didn't even look at her, because if I did Naminé would assume I was 'checking her out'. The pinkish haired guy looked at me with a smirk,
"You're the Twilight's Colt's running back. Well, at least you were." The pinkish haired guy now laughed along with the others, and I clenched my fist while Naminé placed her hand on top of my shoulder but didn't say anything. There were three high schools in Twilight Town. THS, Twilight High School, the high school I went to. TTDHS, Twilight Town District High School. TSCHS, Twilight Separate Catholic High School. I was a great running back and I was a key player for my team because there wasn't so many great players on our team. After a game I won for my team against TDHS in grade eleven I was attacked by a few of the other team's players when I was walking home from their school by myself. It was obviously a horrible memory and I remember they forced my leg to break then stabbed the same leg with a knife while taunting threats at me. The next thing I remembered was waking up in a hospital and I was really messed up for awhile. I was sent to an institute for three and a half months to get my mind back on its feet because I was always paranoid about getting attacked and having nightmares. It was a institute near here actually, it was all about using nature to try and help heal 'mental injuries'. When my mother first told me about it I thought it sounded retarded, but it actually did help me get back on my feet. Although, I never got back into the game after I was fully healed, mentally, and physically.
All of a sudden Naminé shook me to get me out of my second day dream of the night.
"Ya, I was." I replied and they all chuckled some more.
"Are you guys from TDHS?" They nodded their heads 'yes' toward my question and I ran my hand through my blond hair. I was slightly agitated in myself from deciding to come to see who these people were.
Then I took another big swig of my beer and finished it off, and threw the empty into their bonfire.
"Well, you guys should come to the beach, that is where we are heading." Naminé seemed to lighten up after I proposed this and I decided to play nice. I wanted this to be a good night.
The mullet headed guy then spoke,
"Ya we are going there soon, we just wanted to have a few drinks here first. We know that is where the real party is at." I was surprised to hear the kindness in his voice, it seemed like he was the nice one of the group.
"Anyways, I'm Roxas... If you didn't know that. This is my girlfriend Naminé. We are heading to the beach now, hopefully see you guys down their later." I turned to Naminé.
"Lets to get the cooler and find Hayner and everyone else." My words were just above a whisper and she nodded her head.
"Okay."
It took us awhile to carry the cooler to the beach, it was rather heavy and took both of us to carry it. On the way we ran into Sora, my same aged, already pretty drunk, cousin. He helped us with the cooler and Naminé and him chatted it up. I was fully focused on our destination; the beach. I felt like it was calling it me, I could here rave like music playing in the distance and loud chatter. Finally the beach revealed itself to me and now we just had to find everyone. The crowd was huge and drunken, and more and more people were making their way to the beach by the minute. Instead of blindly walking around searching for our group we set the cooler down and Naminé texted Hayner to find out where he was. After a few minutes her phone went off.
"He said he is near the huge fire." She put a lot of emphasis on the word huge. I looked around for a few seconds my eyes passing a bunch of small bonfire before I found the huge fire with ease.
"Over there." I pointed and we were on our way again.
"FINALLY!" Hayner exclaimed and he hit me on the back.
"I was stealing beer from random people's coolers before." He smirked at me and I laughed at the fact I drank a beer he stole. Hayner was such an idiot at times, but he was a good friend. With a huff I plopped myself down in the sand and opened up another beer. Naminé took a seat beside me.
"This is the last time I agree to bring every one's alcohol. Well except for Pence." I wasn't even sure where the hell Pence was he liked to wander around a bit at parties. That is probably why he brought his own mini cooler... So we wouldn't steal all his alcohol all on him. Sora, like always appeared again out of nowhere, this time with Riku. I could tell he was more hammered then before because he was clinging onto Riku's arm for support.
"Riiiiiiikkkkuuuuu! Would you be my best man at my weddddding?! I think I am going to ask Kairi to marry me!" I laughed a little and Riku rolled his eyes.
"Maybe you should think about this some more when you're sober." Riku replied and they both sat down in the sand on the other side of me.
"Hmmm. Maybe." Was all Sora replied with. Then all of a sudden I could feel Naminé's eyes drilling into the side of my head. Was this because of the talk about marriage? Oh shit, I hope it wasn't. Naminé always wanted to rush head first into things without thinking, just like the first time we had sex.
"He's just drunk." I stated and Riku smiled at me.
Most of the night went by smoothly. Mingling with my friends and random people. The huge fire was the place to be and about a hundred people swarmed around the thing and you couldn't even see the people that stood on the other side of the flames. Within the second hour of being at the party I was rather drunk. I didn't stand out though, because everyone else was just a wasted as I was, or worse. By this time, Hayner and Olette were making out in the sand with each other even though they had only gone to prom as friends. Naminé was talking relentlessly to a few girls from a different school about boyfriends. So, that conversation involved me, and it was rather annoying. I was right here, and everything they were saying about their boyfriend's wasn't positive. Sora and Kiara had decided to go skinny dipping and Riku said he was going somewhere less crowded to star watch in the sand. So I went along with him. The crowd thinned out as we walked further down the beach and as if choosing a random spot in the sand, Riku dropped himself down and laid on his back with his hands behind his head. I laid next to him shoving my beer into the sand beside me. We were silent for a long time and I just scanned the sky thinking to myself and I assumed Riku was doing the same thing. After what felt like a long time I finally saw a shooting star.
"Did you wish for anything?" I softly asked Riku.
"It isn't like I can tell you now, can I?" He laughed softly in reply.
'Well I guess not. If you want it to come true." I replied and took another drink of my beer.
"It isn't just because he's drunk." Riku seemed to say out of nowhere and I slowly released in my drunken state that he was referring back to my comment about Sora and how he wanted to marry Kairi.
"Eighteen is young to be engaged." Was all I could think to say and I saw Riku nod his head in agreement out of the corner of my eye.
"Do you think you and Naminé will ever get married. You guys seem to be such a perfect couple." He said this with fake cheer in his voice, I could tell he was nervous in his drunken state that everyone was going to get married and leave him behind. The end of high school did kind of seem like the end of the world.
"The key word is seem." I decided to be truthful with him.
"Oh... I-"
"I don't really want to talk about it." I cut him off.
"It is okay, I understand."
I don't know how long we star watched in the sand but the next thing I remember was gently being kicked in the side.
"WAKE UP!" My eyes flung themselves open and a rather drunken and angry looking Naminé hovered above me.
"Ugg what time is it?" I rubbed my eyes and a heard Riku rustle in the sand beside me. Naminé then pulled out her cell phone and read the time.
"It is two in the morning. You could of told me where you were going!" She hissed and Riku, who had already stood up offered his hand to me to help me up which I accepted.
"Lets just go to bed." I flung my arm around her shoulder and decided to not argue back with her about talking about our relationship with random people. I yearned for the comfort of my sleeping bag.
"Oh...Okay." She seemed surprised that I didn't try to argue back with her.
"Bye Riku, catch you later." I waved goodnight to him.
"Ya, later, man." I looked back at him as he sat back down in the sand. I almost wished I could go back and sleep in the sand with him, instead go to bed with this...witch.
The walk back was quiet between Naminé and I, but people were still partying everywhere. Naminé made the situation awkward by grabbing my ass underneath my pants while walking.
"Nice Ass! I should get me a piece of that!" I heard some random guy yell with cockiness in his voice. He was obviously making fun of us.
"Naminé stop!" I angrily whispered but she just squeezed harder and giggled.
"I would share... with whoever that was, but your all mine." Then she started to try to shift her hand around to the front of my pants but instead I yanked her hand out. At one point in time I probably would of got it on with her right then and there but in the last year when our relationship started going to shit, I didn't feel like getting it on with her very often anymore.
"What's wrong hunny, you promised earlier that we could later." Her eyes looked saddened and I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Well gezz, can you wait until we at least get back to the tent?!" I saw her eyes lighten up because I didn't say no and she nodded her head.
"Well good. we're almost there."
As we neared our tent filled camping area a familiar melody stung my ears and it gave me a sort of euphoric feeling. It couldn't be? Soon I could hear the guitar strums and the lyrics that went with this oh so familiar song. I could recognize that voice anywhere. It had to be.
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I saw you in the wild
I knew you in the wild
you were nervous, you were furious
you were very sure-footed
dreams and intentions
full of wonder and amazement
the fire in your eyes
you were in your disguise
you were haunted you were hollow
you could not see tomorrow
"Nice song." Naminé replied as we entered our camping site and my eyes hungerly scanned the area for that person that played the guitar and owned that voice. Then that is when I saw him. I could only see the shadowy outline of him, but I could recognize that hair, that body, anywhere. He sitting by himself near the bonfire that was just smouldering ashes now.
"I saw you in the wild..." I muttered to myself as I stared at him in awe and Naminé pulled me toward the tent.
"You know that song? It is nice, but lets not watch. Lets listen from the tent." She winked at me.
"Mmm. Ya, I know it."
It was, mean is, our song.
My eyes were glued onto him as Naminé pulled me into the tent and I swear he looked up at me just as I disappeared behind the thin fabric.
