Mes: Another story that I'm building up on a story plot, I'm trying to take a leap past my writer's block and try to write a story with chapters….OMG, the world is going to end!!! Anyways, this is a Namine x Roxas story because I adore the couple. I've dedicated this story to my friend Wenxiao from school because she seemed very interested in the story plot. I've already decided it's going to have a sad ending, but an alternate ending included. So don't fret! And-

Roxas: This is taking way too long! –pushes Mes out of the way- Mes doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or anything related. She barely owns her own sanity. Now start typing!

Everything was distorted. Standing on an unknown building, she stared down into an endless abyss of clouds. Replacing the sky above, hanging ominously was a mutated city filled with twisted skyscrapers with no people. Something in her mind was screaming at her to jump, to end a troubled aching in her chest. Unsteadily placing her feet at the edge, willing to silence the voices with one more step, she felt a firm grip on her wrist. Obeying its lead, it slowly pulled her away from the edge. Turning around, all she could see were deep ocean blue eyes, staring at her with concern.

Who are you?

"-ine, Namine?"

A quiet voice whispered in her ear while a hand rubbed her back to awaken her. She stared into her father's dull green eyes as she yawned her sleepiness away. After a long car ride, they had finally arrived to a recognizable hospital. The same hospital her mother was now in after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure a year ago.

Wandering the deserted halls, they finally found the room. Room 213. It was a smaller room compared to the others. Grey shades were drawn over the large window, darkening the plain room a bit. In the middle of the room was a large bed, surrounded by a small wooden table, heart monitors, HIV racks, and other odd machinery. Walking over to the bed, Namine observed her sleeping mother. Despite her swollen neck and arms, she looked peaceful with her light blonde hair strewn against the pillows and her pale skin. Often Namine would get comments of her looking so similar to her mother, almost like a younger version. They even had the same sky blue eyes. Barely a trace of her father was seen in her.

Noticing the doctor enter the room shortly after them, Namine's father went over to check in on the status of his wife. Kneeling on the floor, Namine picked up a small version of a family photo off the wooden desk as she rested her head on the soft bed. The sweet scent of the peach tulips in the glass vase on the desk filled her senses. Whispers of "more gasping at night", "rising blood fluid in the lungs", and "increasing weakness" graced her ears. Her mother's condition was getting worse and soon the disease might take her away. Squeezing her eyes shut from imagining the unbearable future, she felt tears forming in her eyes. She never wanted to lose her mother. The idea wounded her deeply, even though they all knew it would be truth.

Not wanting to show her distress, Namine left the room shakily, avoiding her father's glance. Searching the halls, she collapsed into a hard chair as she wiped away a lone tear that trickled down her cheek. She longed for everything to go back to the way it was before. She wanted her mother to be smiling happily at her from the car as she was dropped off at school. She yearned for her mother's warm hugs when she arrived home. She wished for the excited compliments towards her newest drawing to be heard. But, everything was taken away with that one heart attack.

It was another tiring Monday for Namine while she was at school. She had been accidentally caught doodling on her worksheets in English, zoned out in Math class, and called to the board several times in Science. Thankfully it was lunch time, and all the students stormed the cafeteria quickly. With an absent mind, Namine wandered around the lunch room with a lunch bag in hand, searching for her friends.

"Hey Namine! Over here!" Kairi waved as she caught her best friend's attention. Finding a seat between Olette and Kairi, Selphie casually leaned over towards her.

"Namine, did you see Tidus in Science today?" Selphie grinned. Namine gazed at the brunette and slowly nodded her head. "Oh my gawd, didn't he look totally hot?!" Namine, Kairi, Olette, and Pence all stared unbelievingly at the boy-crazed girl. Selphie cocked her head to the side and looked at her four friends. "What?"

Namine continued to stare at Selphie, wondering what to think of her friend. Olette giggled slightly while Kairi wagged a finger at the girl. "Selphie, you really need to learn. Tidus already has a girlfriend", she sighed.

"Yeah, isn't her name Yuna? I think I accidentally took a picture of them kissing at the last dance…" Pence wondered as he picked up his treasured camera.

"Boy troubles again?" Sora grinned as he plopped down beside Kairi with two food trays. Passing a food tray to Kairi, she returned a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Geez, Kairi. Not at the table" Hayner grumbled as he sat next to Pence. "Just because you two are girlfriend and boyfriend now, doesn't mean you have to be doing that kind of stuff in front of your friends." He mumbled as he passed two of the three trays he was holding to Olette and Selphie.

"Oh, you're just jealous" Kairi smirked evilly. Pence rummaged through his brown bagged lunch as he watched the two glare at each other. Namine knew it was all play, just normal.

"Now, now you two" Olette sighed, trying to bring peace to the group.

After resolving the little play fight, they gang quickly gossiped about new rumors. "I heard there's a new kid coming to the school…" Olette stated. Namine had heard the rumors too and leaned in to hear the details. Everyone wondered where the new student was coming from, what his name was, and what classes he would have. But, the boy-crazed friend of the group had a different thing on her mind…

"I wonder if he's hot…" Selphie smiled dreamily as she stared at Riku, a popular student with charming good looks.

"Selphie!!!" Everyone replied at once.

"What?"
