It's been months since she left, and I can't help feeling even more empty inside, she made me feel like I had a heart..Is that even possible? Can nobodies love? I hope so, but all I know now is that I have to find her, and bring her back, and try to explain my feelings towards her..Ugh this is gonna be a LONG battle.

We'll be friends forever, so don't worry

Have you ever considered us MORE than friends?

Yeah..

Roxy! Don't leave! Please!

I'm sorry...

I woke up, startled, I was having one of those dreams again, who was the guy, that in these dreams, was so special to me? I wished I knew...I feel like there was some empty memories inside me..really important memories...

Until then, I had to go with the daily routine, hanging out with my friends in Twilight Town, practicing my fighting...the usual. I slumped out of bed and put on a dark purple tank top and a short jean skirt, and my ring that I had forever, but who had given it to me?

I walked to the usual spot, feeling sleepy and anxious to answer these weird dreams. My friends, Hayner, Pence, and Olette greeted me as I walked in. "Hi Roxy, what's the matter?"

questioned Pence.

I realized I was staring into space with a puzzled expression on my face. I snapped out of it "Oh, nothing just tired," I smiled.

"Well, you're gonna have to sleep more if you wanna win the struggle!" scolded Hayner playfully.

"Oh, so I'm the champ now? Okay!" I laughed.

He folded his arms "Well, sleep all you want, you'll never beat me!"

"We'll see about that!" I challenged as they all broke into laughter.

Later, we were all planning on going to the beach, having doing summer jobs all summer, as we approached the station, something felt weird.

I was chatting to Olette, and saw that my friends had stopped moving completely. I waved my arms at them, confused, and noticed that everything was totally silent.

Time has stopped?

Suddenly a cloaked figure appeared in front of me, with a long black cloak and a hood that masked his face. I backed away ready to run.

"What's the matter Roxy? Afraid of your own friend?" chuckled the hooded figure, he suddenly removed his hood, revealing red spikey hair and emerald green eyes, that I found stunning, almost sexy, but remained silent.

"Don't tell me you forgot!" groaned the red-head "Okay what does the phrase 'Got it memorized' mean to you? Huh? Fine, the names Axel, do you have it memorized now?"

I nodded, confused and not knowing who this guy was.

"So, I have been worrying my ass off about you for months now, missing you like hell, and you forgot me?" he asked sadly.

I felt bad, but confused, and didn't know what was happening, but before I could do anything, I felt myself stumble and fall, thinking I was gonna die, but didn't.

I felt myself pressed against a hard, muscular chest, held by strong arms. Blushing furiously, I looked up at Axel, who was only a few inches taller than me, I'm really tall, so I guess this was convenient. He looked at me, and smiled.

"What, did you think I wouldn't catch you?" he was still smiling softly, and had a kind look in his eyes. " I'll always catch you, you should know that by now," I felt my heart melt "You're my responsibility in this mission, so I have to make sure you don't get hurt,"

Oh yeah, some friend all right, I'll show him some tough love.

In the split second that it took him to catch me, my handprint was imprinted on his cheek in less time. He blinked, obviously stunned, and held a hand up to his wound.

"Oh yeah, we're "best friends" alright, y'know if you're some kind of molester tricking girls into thinking they're friends with you, you picked the wrong person! Gosh, don't you have a heart?"

I saw his eyes go cold, I instantly regretted my words.

"Fine, from now on, I'll do it for personal reasons. But you're still my mission, friend or not." My heart ached at his words and tone of voice. I longed to see that soft look in his eyes again. "As for the heart, nobodies can't have hearts, so you don't have one either," he spat out, what did he mean I didn't have one? "Maybe this should refresh your memory,"

He grabbed my arm with one hand, and with the other, pulled me to him. Before I even had time to think, his lips descended on mine, and I was breathless. But, it felt like I had done this before, with Axel, and that was just freaky. I tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong, and he pulled me tighter to him. But then, he suddenly pushed me away.

I stood panting, glaring at him, hurt and confusion in my gaze, Axel stood a few feet away, equally breathless. He wiped his mouth "I'll give you some time to process the memories," he smirked cruelly, and disappeared into a black portal.

Then time started again, I was so confused and upset, I fainted.
