Hey you guys! A quick AN: I'm sorry for such a long update. Right here is just a touch up on this chapter. I'll have more info at the end of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything regarding the characters in the story.

Proceed.

Prologue:

"Xion, Xion! Come look what I found!"

I opened my eyes to the bright sunlight that had shined through the trees. I sat up and looked around to my surroundings; tall trees, brown dirt everywhere, green shrubs and bushes, and a little blonde boy sitting above a little area of what was grass.

I picked myself up and started running over to the little blonde boy.

"What Roxas, what is it?" I shouted as I picked up my pace.

Once I had caught up to my designated place, I saw my young friend, Roxas, holding something behind his back. He looked up at me and gave me one of his big smiles. You know, the smile when a little kid get's his ice cream?

"I want you to have it." Roxas said.

With the sudden movement of his swifty little arms, he pulled to my face a green, 4-leaf clover.

"But – You found it, so you keep it!"

"Yes, I found it, and I want you to have it. Your birthday was last week anyways, so take it. Please?"

For a 6 year old, Roxas was a selfless little boy. I happily took the 4-leaf clover and held it up high.

"I'm gonna keep it, forever! That's a promise, Roxas Meyer." I cheerfully said, gazing upon the green little leaf.

"Can't you just-"

"No."

"Just one ans-"

"No, Xion…"

At this point, Roxas was really frustrating me. How am I supposed to do my homework if I don't even know how to do the work? Oh screw it. This must be what I get for not paying attention. Fuck Algebra 1.

"You could at least just try to explain it to me, ya know." I spat out at him.

A sigh escaped the blonde's lips. "You could at least pay attention in class, ya know."

"I can't help it, it's boring as hell." I said as I had gotten up from the floor.

"Hey, where are you going?"

I headed over to Roxas' bed. Sleep. That's what I wanted. "To take a nap. My brain needs a thinking break." I called back over at him as I climbed into bed. Oh, the pillows, big and fluffy. So comforting. I positioned myself comfortably on his bed, shut my eyes, and had let my mind wonder. It didn't last long, that's for sure. One second I hear a slight giggle, and the next I get pimped slapped by a pillow.

"Oh, HELLS no!" I bolted right up, immediately grabbed a pillow, and started swinging it every direction possible.

"Xion, you look ridiculous, I hope you know," Roxas had remarked with humor in his tone.

I looked up at him. Laughter and smiling is what I had seen. I felt my stomach drop- no, flutter, bumble, bounce with excitement. As I looked up at him, I'd started to see something I'd never noticed before. I can't exactly put into words what this feeling was, this unusual thing that I was seeing, but I liked it.

The night was rainy and cold, perfect night to bundle up in bed and watch movies. Not this night, unfortunately.

In the kitchen, the clock read 7:28.

"Hurry up you stupid popcorn bag, the movie's starts in 2 minutes." I mumbled to my self. I was a bit grumpy this evening, I guess I had the weather to blame for this. I've always hated rainy days. My friend Axel had called me earlier, begging for me to come play in the rain with him. I simply told him I'd prefer to not risk getting a cold. Stupid rain. Always ruining things.

Roxas had met Axel the end of our freshman year. Of course, everyone knew who Axel was. Tall, skinny, fierce red hair, piercing green eyes; many girls looked upon him as a sex icon. The guy did have his way with words, quite the troublemaker he was too. But besides this image everyone see's him as, Roxas and I knew a different side that not many people got to see. All in all, Axel grew us into a trio.

My thoughts were disrupted by what I thought was the microwave buzzer going off. Instead, it was my phone going off on the counter. Picking up the phone, I saw Roxas calling.

"Yes?" I called through the phone.

"Can you meet me at Starbucks?" I hurried voice answered back at me.

"Starbucks, at a time like this? Roxas I-"

"Please, I need to talk to you. It's important." He cut me off. Roxas knows how I feel about rain, if it's that important then I guess I out to suck it up, right?

"What time?" I sighed out. Maybe coffee will help with my mood.

"Now."

I nearly fell over as a loud bang of thunder roared. I walked down 5th Ave. drenched, cold, and a bit scared. Rain is just not meant for me, I swear. A raincoat would have been more appropriate, considering this think hoodie is now nothing but wet cloth clinging on to my skin.

As I turned the corner where Starbucks was located, I'd seen a car parked in the middle of the street, windshield busted. A large crowd of people circling the area. I could hear sirens off in the distance, and so I decided to check it out.

It was quite obvious as to what occurred. The car most likely had hit someone. How reckless can people be? No one knows how to drive in Twilight Town.

And then it hit me. Behind the crowd of people, I saw a glimpse of blonde spikes and with red.

"Get out of my way!" I shouted, pushing the people away from me. I heard mutters of insults, questions, and a few other comments, but that didn't matter. I had to check what I saw to be true, and when I saw him, blood covering blonde spikes, my heart dropped along with my knees.

Kneeling over Roxas' body, I could see the color in his face fading, his life fading.

"Xion..." he breathed out, blue eyes opened up and looked at me, eyes filled with pain, "it' hurts."

"It's okay, don't worry, you'll be okay..." My voice trailed off, I couldn't lie to myself, I knew it wasn't going to be okay.

"You and I… we're the perfect match... you know…" Tears rolled down my cheeks. I didn't know how to handle all these emotions.

"I care about you… so much… I love you too much…"

The sirens sounded so close to my ears, I looked around at the scene, the people, the cops, and the ambulance. And when I looked back down, it was over. Tears flowed more than ever, loud sobs escaped my lips, I just couldn't believe this. I though my heart stopped.

"Ma'am, I'm going to need you to step away from the boy." Someone called from above me. I ignored his command and clenched tighter to the lifeless body.

"Miss, you must step away from the body, this is a-"

"NO! No, no, no, no, just no!" I cried out. I didn't care anymore, nothing mattered now, I just wanted to die.

Roxas was dead.

Alright, I'd firstly like to say that I am currently working on the next chapter. I'm sorry for such a long wait. Inspiration and motivation has been a major lacking, and I am just now getting more motivated to continue on with this story. I would just open up Word, type in a couple of sentences, and close out. I was so unhappy with how things were turning out with the chapter, and I finally just started to rewrite the whole thing. New plot ideas and side conflicts have been popping into my head, so my plans for this story have changed up quite a bit.

Feedback please? I'd love to here your opinions on the story, maybe a few ideas? Happy reading!
