Sorry for OOCness.
Worthless:
By A-True-Balance
To her classmates:
She is a quiet girl who doesn't talk that much.
A girl with black short hair and blue eyes enter a pure white class room with single desks and one cream colored wall for color. She has a pure black backpack on her back and an Algebra 2 book in her hand. She was a freshman in a junior Algebra 2 class. She was the only freshman. It was in late December and Christmas break was coming up. Today was December 14th 2010, it was a Tuesday.
She walked over to her seat in the back right corner by the windows. This was the cream colored wall, the one with windows. She sat her backpack on the floor and put her Algebra 2 book on the desk. She leaned down to open her backpack to grab her binder for this class. It was filled with notebook paper coved with notes and numbers. The there was a divider and behind it was her homework from the past week all of it was due on Friday. Her teacher, Mr. Leonhart, collected homework every two weeks on the last day of the week, which are mostly Fridays.
The girl looked around the room and saw it fill with students. They were all juniors. She knew none of them. She herself knew a few juniors, but that was only because she was in a gang. And that in its self was a long story, one which not many people knew. And that was the way that it was best to be.
The bell rang and then the class started. She sat and listen to her teacher teach the lesson and it was a boring one about quadratics and parabolas. She didn't really want to listen but she knew that she needed to because she had a final for this class after the break sometime in January.
The lesson dragged on for half an hour and then Mr. Leonhart stopped and told the class to start on the homework. The black haired girl did as she was told and started on the work that she knew she would have done before the class was over. With ten minutes over and ten minutes left of her fifty minute class Mr. Leonhart walked over to her.
"How are you doing Xion?" he asked her.
"Fine," Was her soft reply. She had finished the homework and checked all her answers with the answers in the back of the book. All of them were right.
Xion looked around at her classroom. Most of the students were done, or were just leaving the homework to do at home. They were all talking and having a good time. That was how it always was. She was the quiet one in class and the rest of the class was its own world. She didn't fit in and she never would. They didn't know what she had to go through and she didn't know what they had to go through. That was how it was. She was the one on the outside. That was her part of this class. To be the one that didn't belong. She was the kid that no one cared for to talk to, the only people that cared where the people that she knew from when she was little and the people that where in her gang. They were the only people that cared.
The bell rang and she got up out of her seat and walked out of the class room, having only saying one word that was a lie. But that was nothing new; a lot of the things that she said were a lie.
To her friends:
She is a funny, outgoing girl that always makes them laugh.
The next day, December 15th 2010, a Wednesday, it was lunch time in Twilight High. Students all around were talking and getting lunch. The student body at Twilight High was a smaller one for Twilight Town itself did not really have all that many kids, but there were enough kids for a gang to be made. This gang had fourteen members, and they had a table for them-self's but there was always more than fourteen people, their where more like twenty-four kids, all from the age of fourteen to eighteen. A very large group and most of the people where teenage boys, but there were enough teenage girls to make the group look a little odd, but that is what you get when you have a gang and the friends of members of the gang all sitting together with a bunch of chairs pulled together along with tables.
The twenty-four some kids where all sitting in groups, the first group was a group of three men; they were all between the age of eighteen and fifteen. Then next group was another group of three, one fifteen year old and two sixteen year olds. The next group was a group of three as well they were all fourteen. Then there was a group of three boys and one girl they were all from the age of either fifteen or sixteen. There was one last group of three, they were all males and were from the age of fifteen to eighteen. The last was a group of seven they were all freshman but two, they were both sophomores.
"Hey Roxas, why do swallows fly south in winter?" One of the sophomores asked. He was a boy with spiky red hair and bright green eyes.
"No another of your stupid jokes Axel." A Blond spiky haired boy sighed.
"Common just guess, get it over with!" a boy with long shoulder length silver hair said to the blond, Roxas.
"Fine Fine Riku. Why Axel?" Roxas said in a board tone, he strongly disliked that Axel had found a stupid joke website and ever sense he had been sharing the stupid ones that he found. Roxas swore that he did it just to annoy him.
"Because it's too far to walk" Axel said with a big smile on his face. "Got it memorized?"
The whole table groaned. Everyone at the table has enough of his stupid jokes.
"Really Axel Really, not even Sora comes up with jokes that stupid." Joked Riku.
At that moment a brown spiky haired boy turned his head to said "Hey"
"Don't worry about it Sora" an auburn red haired girl said. "I still like your stupid jokes."
"Really Kairi?"
"Sure" Kairi said with a smile.
"Hey I got an even better one" a black haired girl, Xion. "What is green can jump a mile in a minute?"
"What?" Axel asked.
"A Grasshopper with hiccups!"
"Not you too, Xion!" Roxas ground as he slammed his head on the table.
"Careful Roxas!" A blond haired girl said.
With that the whole table started to laugh, all but Roxas who still had his head on the table wishing to be anywhere but here with Axel and Xion who had started a stupid joke war with the rest of the group.
Xion wished that life could always be like this. Laughing at stupid jokes and having fun. She wished that her life had always been like this but it never was, and it never will be. She had the best friends that anyone could ask for but in the end would it be enough to save her? To tell the world the truth she really didn't think so, the lies and the pain were too much and she just could not stand it anymore.
To her best friend:
She is a crazy, fun girl that's always there for her.
Two girls where sitting in a pure white room. Pictures covered the walls in picture frames and glass. The room was a small one. It had a bed, a desk and a closed along with a dresser. Everything was white. The only color in the room was the pictures. They were all drawings of the blond hair girl's memories. Or different things that she liked to drawl. He most favorite one was of her black haired best friend and her boyfriend. They were holding hands.
The blond, who's room the two girls where in, was curled in a ball, she had tears running down her face. Her eyes were red and puffy, tears had stains her face. Her white sundress was wet with the poor blond's tears.
"What's wrong Naminé?" A black haired girl asked the platinum blond.
"It's nothing." The blond, Naminé, told her friend.
The black haired girl knew that her friend was lying, but she herself was a master at doing that one job and she knew that when people lied that most if the time they didn't want anyone to push them to tell. So the black haired girl did the next best thing, she held her friend in her arms and let her cry her pale blue eyes out.
"If you say so Nami, but I just want you to know that I am her for you if you ever want to talk about anything, no matter what time of night or day it is I'm here for you."
Later that night at about 2 in the morning Xion heard her cellphone ringing, it was Naminé's ring.
"Naminé what is it, are you ok?" Was the first thing that Xion said when she answered her cell. She was still up, something that was not uncommon for the black haired girl.
"No" Naminé replied in a small voice, after that Xion could hear crying and the sound of silent sobbing.
"Where are you Naminé?" Xion asked. Naminé made no sigh of answering.
"Where are you?" Xion asked again a bit louder.
"The… the old…old mansion in… in the woods." Naminé whispered.
"What are you doing there?" Xion asked softly more to herself then to anyone else.
"I… I… I had no… now… nowhere else to go, I'm sorry of calling… I'll go now."
"Don't go anywhere, I'll be there in the next twenty minutes, and please don't do anything stupid Naminé, we need you, I need you, Roxas needs you!"
With that Xion started to put on a pair of black sweat pants and a black tank top and she graded her black cloak and put on her black boots and crawled out of her window and jumped to the street below and ran to the old mansion.
When Xion got to the mansion she ran to the falling apart mansion and climbed over the gate that was all around the building. When she entered the mansion she ran up the only partly intact staircase and up to the white room that she knew that Naminé would be in.
When Xion got into the room she found Naminé with a knife in her hand. There was no blood and there was no wounds on Naminé, there were no scars either. Thank god. Xion thought. I made it in time.
"Nami please, put the knife down, please." Xion pleaded with her.
Naminé thought about what Xion had asked and she began to wonder, could she put the knife down, could she live with what was happening and could she live with the fact that it was her fault that they were leaving. Could she, Naminé, live with what nothing could stop?
Xion saw a look on Naminé's face and then she dropped the knife. It landed on the floor with a thud. Naminé look broken and beaten to nothing. She had tears falling out of her pale eyes and she once white sundered was covered in dirt, wet tears and wrinkles. Her soft tears landed softly on the floor and her eyes where read and puffy. Xion slowly walked over to Naminé and when she got closer to her she asked pleading.
"What's wrong? And please, don't tell me that it's nothing."
"My…My… parents are… their… their spl…. their… their getting a divorce." Naminé cried.
She flew into Xion's arms and cried. Xion pulled her to the floor and held her while she cried. Xion was a rock for her friends, in their eyes she could handle everything and she could think up of a solution to anything.
But the truth is Xion could not handle everything. Xion could not handle the life that she had and she could not handle the fact that everything around her was changing in a way that she could not follow. Life was going on without her and she had to choose herself or the ones that were here everything.
On that night, December 18th 2010, she had mad her mind up, she would chose to let the people she loved be happy and she would do everything in her power to make that happen.
To her boyfriend:
She is an amazing girl that he loves more than anything.
Sitting in her room was a black haired girl, Xion as most of her friends knew her as, there may have been a few nicknames mixed in but Xion was the one that most people used. Xion was sitting on her bed curled into a ball. She had her cell phone in hand and she was texting her special someone.
"Want to come over and watch movies?" Her someone asked over a texted.
"Sure," Xion replied back. "I'll be there soon."
With that Xion put her cell phone down and walked over to her closet to grab a coat. It was a black one that she wore a lot, it was her favorite one. She pulled it on and then walked over to her window and jumped out. She landed on her feet and hands and started to walk to her boyfriend's house.
When she got to his house she rang the doorbell and a boy with silver hair answered the door. He was dressed in a black shirt and a pair of blue jeans. On his feet were white socks.
"Hey" Said the silver haired boy.
"Hey" Xion replied back with a smile.
A woman with long silver hair walked by the door where the two were standing, she was in a pure light blue dress with a white apron on. A smile was on her soft face full of laugh lines. This was Riku's mother. She was a sweet lady that was a house wife and a part time lawyer.
"Hello Xion." Riku's mother said to the black haired teen.
"Hello" Xion replied back.
"I have a meeting to go to in ten minutes; I just thought that I would let you know."
"Thank you mother," Riku said to his mother, he has a little edge in his voice but only Xion noticed it, or maybe she was the only one that took notice.
"Well, have fun you two." And with that Riku's mother left the two to go upstairs to go change and get ready for her meeting.
"You didn't have to be mean Riku." Xion said in a teasing voice. "Now come on, let's go get a movie." With that Xion walked into Riku's house past him and into his living room and started to look through his movies. '
The living room was a smaller one for it only had a couch and a loveseat and a TV on an entertainment center. The loveseats where a light cream color and the entertainment center was a light maple color. The walls were painted a light creamy yellow and the floor was light oak hardwood flooring.
When Xion picked out the movie that she wanted to watch she walked over to the DVD player and put the DVD in. Then she walked over to the love seat and sat down. Riku followed after her and sat next to her. When he sat down she moved closer to him.
"What movie did you pick out?" the silver haired boy asked.
"Just wait and see." Xion said with a smile. "It's a Disney movie."
"You and your Disney movies," Riku said with a teasing ton.
Xion just laughed. Riku could make her laugh no matter what mode she was in. He made her fell happy and loved something that she didn't get a lot. She just wished that they could have more time like this. They very rarely got to hang out because she was so busy. She had family things and then the gang and then her other friends. She was a busy girl.
Riku's mother came in and smiled at the two. "I'm leaving; I don't know when I will be back. Be good you two." And with that she had walked out of the door.
After Riku's mother left, Xion tried hard to concentrate on the movie but her mind just keep coming back to what her new mission was. Could she really do what she had to do? Both parts, either part one or part two, which ever path she had to choose was a hard one to do. She felt that she needed more time to think about it but she had orders and she had to fulfill them. She had no chose.
Soon without knowing Xion started to cry. Soft tears fell down her face and landed on her clothes. Her ice-blue eyes widened as she felt the tears. She tried to wipe them away before Riku noticed but she was too late. Riku had looked over at her and his eyes were full of concern.
"Are you ok, Xion?" He asked in a worried tone.
Xion didn't reply she just buried her head into Riku's chest and keep crying. Riku wrapped his arms around her and held her as she cried. He wished that he could do something to help her but he knew that there was nothing that could be done if he didn't know what was wrong. He asked one more time with she was ok and all she did was cry more.
In Xion's head she was fighting and she knew that she had lost. Life was too much there was just too much going on. She knew that she could never do part one so the only path was to do path two. That was the path that would hurt the world and her friends less. She had no hope that she could get out of what was made. It was her fate. You can't fight fate. Destiny had its course and you had to follow it. There was no turning back.
With her mind made up Xion just hugged and cried in Riku's chest until she knew that she had to get home, well the place that was meant to be her home, but never was and never will be. Her home is where her heart is, and her heart is with her friends. Her heart is where it found love and safety. Her heart was going to the place that had no love and no safety only sadness and broken love that was never there to begging with, well maybe it was at one point but now it is gone, gone as the wind. Gone as a dead flame. Gone as her future.
That night the night of January 14th 201, Xion made her final choose on what she had to do with her new mission. She knew that it was the decision that would made the least amount of people sad. It was the chose that would keep her friends the most safe and loved. It was the last thing that she could do to protect them.
And to herself:
. . .
The night was her birthday, January 15th, her 15th birthday, her luck birthday; well it was meant to be her luck birthday. Maybe in some ways it was but to her it was a mixed feeling. She was happy, sad and maybe a little anger. She didn't really know.
There she sat in her room on her bed, she was meant to be asleep but really she was awake and planning. She was planning her last move. Her last move in this game that she was stuck in; with this move she should win the game and be out of it.
She walked over to her door and peaked her head out. She heard the snoring of her Godfather and the sound of her Godmother talking in her sleep. Xion sighed, they were asleep. Good. This made Xion smile in sadness. Most people would think that she would miss them but really she would not. In the truth she hated them.
With closing her door and walking over to her closet she pulled out a nice black dress. She pulled it on and but on a pair of black boots. Then she graded her organization cloak and put it on. She walked around her room and walked over to a picture of her and her friends that Naminé had drawn her. In order from left to right it was: Axel, Roxas, Naminé, Xion, Riku, Kairi, Sora.
She smiled at this drawling. Some tears started to pour from her eyes. She sat and stared and the picture of a while. After a little she looked over at the clock and it said it was midnight.
"Time to go." Xion whispered to herself and then she walked over to her window and jumped out.
She landed on the ground and started to run to one spot that she loved the most. It would only make sense that she did what she had to do at that one spot. It was her favorite spot in all of Twilight Town, maybe even in the world, if she had ever gotten out to see any of it. She didn't live that far away from that one place so the run was a quick one. When she started to approach the place she slowed down to a walk. She walked up the one hill and was at the base of the clock tower. Xion smiled a sad smile at the tower.
Xion walked over to the staircase and started to climb up. The climb was long but it was something that Xion was used to. She did it at least twice a week, sometimes every day. When the black haired teen reached the top of the tower she stared out at the town that she had lived in for as long as she could remember.
"Goodbye, to this sleepy town, I hope that you all sleep well for when you wake up you will never be the same. I'm sorry for all the people that I am going to hurt and I am sorry for all the things that I have done, but I am done fighting and I am ready to give up. I want to go home, and this place is not home. To my classmates, I'm sorry; I should have tried harder to be social. To my friend, I'm sorry that I can't make you happier anymore. To my best friends,I'm sorry that I can be here for you anymore, I just can't live anymore. To you, my love, Riku, I'm sorry that I can't be with you anymore, I'm sorry that I am about to hurt you so much, but there is someone out there for you that is not me I was never meant to have the happiness that you gave me, I was never meant to have you at all to deserve someone so much more. To myself, I am doing something selfish for once, I am doing something for myself, I am giving up this life, I am going to take all the pain away and I am going to make everything numb. I am going to make this worthless feeling go away. I am going to stop this worthless try at life. I don't deserve to even have a chance anymore. I'm tired of this worthlessness. Goodbye to this sleepy town."
It was at this time that she felt the rain drops falling. Her ice blue eyes looked up to the sky and she saw that the sky was covered with dark gray clouds. Soon the rain started to poor out of the sky. Soon lightning was flashing all around in the sky and the thunder was rolling. A storm had come to Twilight Town.
Xion looked up to the sky at starred up at the rain, soon tears were falling down her face. Her ice blue eyes were letting out all the pain that she had held in. The pain of losing her parents the pain of the memories that she had lost the pain of her Godparents hating her. The pain of lying to her friends and to the only people that cared for her, The pain of knowing that everyone was going to be hurt by her. The pain of losing the ones that she loved.
The pain that hurt the most was that she was told that she had to kill the three of them or she had to get rid of herself. The pain of knowing that this was her last hour, that this could be her last moment. The pain of knowing that she is…. That she is….
With the tears falling down from her sadden and broken ice blue eyes the black haired teen took the last few steps that would end her life. She walked off the edge of the tower and she started to fall. But to tell the world the truth it didn't feel like falling it felt like flying. She was flying. Flying down to her death, but flying all the same.
As she flew to the ground more tears fell from her eyes but on her face was the widest smile that she has ever had. The feeling of flying was something that she had never felt before. With each foot that she flew to the ground she felt the pain of everything that had been in her life fly out of her, and though her tears still fell she felt lighter and happier as each painful thing flew out of her.
The pain of being the reason that her parents had died, The pain of not being good enough for her Godparents, The pain of being pointless and fake, the pain of lying to everyone that she loved and cared for, the pain of not being able to save herself, the pain of being lost, the pain of being a failure, the pain of all the sadness and anger that she held in, the pain of killing herself, the pain of all the hurt that she would be putting on her loved ones, the pain of knowing that she had to do this to save her friends, the pain of being…
And to herself:
She's completely worthless …
The Pain of being Worthless!
The next morning, Xion's friends woke up to find that, that night Xion had committed suicide. It was confirmed by a note that was found in her pocket, that the police had found when they took her body. For the truth, no one saw it coming. Only one man but this man will be unnamed for no one knew that he knew what was to come to this poor girl that had too much.
He class mates never saw this coming, they knew that she was an outsider with them, but they always thought that she was fine.
Her friends, well they were shocked, they always thought that she would be there to make the laugh. They always thought that she was happy and outgoing.
Her best friends, they cried for her in their own way. Weather it was lighting a whole forest on fire or if it was actually crying. They thought that she would always be there for them; they thought that she would be the crazy girl that they had so much fun with. They all thought that she was happy.
Her boyfriends, Riku, he wished that he had seen it coming and the breakdown that she had at his house the day before all made sense. He wished that he could have saved her. He wished that he could have done something. Forever in his heart he will have the guilt of not being able to save her. He always thought that she would be that amazing girl that he would marry. He always thought that she would be by his side. But now he was wrong and he will forever hold that to his heart.
Her family, well no one really knows what their reaction was because right after she died they quit their jobs and moved out of Twilight Town. It was rumored that they moved back to where they lived before. But the world knows that they fill guilty for treating her bad. They were supposed to take care of her but instead she went and joined her parents.
Dear everyone,
I'm sorry that you had to find me this way. But this is the way that the things had to be. Please down give up your life and do whatever you can to make yourself happy, don't let go and don't do what I did. Please live and be happy for you. Promise me that you will never let anyone get in the way for your dream and that you will stand up for what you think is right and that you will never ever let anyone tell you that you can't do anything because you can if you put your mind to it. I love you all!
XOXO
*~Xion~*
