Me- I'm so sorry about the updates on Unfold. I've been busy lately. I'll update as soon as I can. But for now here's a new one-shot! Also, I'm thinking about adding another chapter on to this, but I'm not sure yet. If I do it'll be in Roxas' POV.
Disclaimer- I do not own Kingdom Hearts or anything else in this story except the plot. Yeah, that's mine.
P.S. This is literally and eriously based on actual events, people, and yes, even actual sentences. ENJOY!
"Did you text him asking if he liked you?" I asked. I was jealous. In fact I was beyond jealous. The guy that I would die for, likes him? The guy that I comfort and love, likes Hayner.
"Yeah, and he said that he only liked me as a friend." he said. I could tell he was on the verge of crying his heart out. It's happened before. He's so predictable that his life is pretty much a pattern.
"Roxas, I'm so sorry. Maybe he's just lying because he is mad at you for dumping his cousin." I said knowing that was partly true. He was lying, but I doubt he was still mad. He's in love with Roxas.
"Axel....am I pretty?" he asked suddenly. He was holding back his tears. I knew him well enough by now.
"Your beautiful." I truthfully answered. He truly was too. I think he is always beautiful.
He sniffed and I heard rustling signaling that tears had leaked from his eyes. I cringed. Hearing him cry killed me inside, especially over Hayner.
"Then why doesn't he like me? Am I not pretty enough?" he asked desperately. This is so cliche. I love my best friend, but he dates everyone but me.
"Your more beautiful than all the models put together." I replied. He never took my words as truth. I don't know why he is always so hurt after rejection.
"Then why doesn't Hayner like me?!" he all but yelled. He was frustrated, now. I winced at his voice. He always says a new guys name every month. It never is mine.
Sure he has dated a few guys, but he always ends his relationships before the week is over. he isn't a slut....he just has never actually truly liked any of those guys.
"I don't know, Roxas. Maybe he isn't the one for you." I said getting tired of this.
"I have to go, Axel. I'm exhausted, so I'm going to bed early." he replied. Lie....he lied to me again. Hanging up I signed on to AIM as invisible. He is still logged on. When he really goes to bed he logs off before saying bye to me.
I could feel tears building up, but I held them back. I know he would never love me the way I love him. He loves me as a best friend, but that's it. I slipped into my bed and under my covers. Tears finally leaking out my eyes and sliding down my cheek. I cried myself to sleep.

The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing his ringtone.
Your tears dont fall, they crash around me! Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home.
I quickly grabbed it, not in the mood for blaring Bullet for my Valentine.
"Hey." I said sleepily. I knew I shouldn't have since he was going to feel guilty for waking me.
"Oh my gosh, did I wake you? I'm sorry!" he apologized. He has a certain pep in his voice today. Something good must have happened.
"Nah, I was already up. So what's up?" I asked curious. I heard a squeal on the other line that I'm positive escaped his lips.
"Hayner and I are dating!" he screeched in excitement. When he said those words it felt like all the other times he said that. My heart stopped beating and I stopped breathing. My throat felt dry and I couldn't form a decent reply.
My heart just broke again. Except this time, I knew that was the last part left. When he called out my name I drew in a deep breathe ready to mask my sorrow with enthusiasm.
"I'm so happy for you!" I cheered. Fake...my happiness was always so fake when he said he was dating someone.
He squealed again obviously believing I was truly happy for him. "I'm so happy! Hayner said he lied before and that he really does like me!" he said cheerful like usual.
I smiled softly the aching in my heart increasing. He continued rambling on about how they got together and how much Roxas likes him. Somehow I knew this routine was different from the others. This boyfriend different from the other. Somehow I knew.
This time would last longer than the others.
When he hung up I stared off into space setting down my cell phone slowly. It dropped to the floor and once it hit the floor I wiped the tears from my eyes.

The longer Roxas dated Hayner, the more distant he became from me.
Hayner quickly replaced me as Roxas's best friend. Roxas even got new friends, a chubby kid named Pence and a smart brunette named Olette.
I got new friends also. Demyx and Zexion, they found me in a cafe by myself. I had been waiting for Roxas, but he never showed.
Later that day we saw him and Hayner at the movies. It was then Roxas and I kind of just seperated from each other. Hearing Roxas ramble on about Hayner is just too much too handle.
What about me? What about poor, heart broken Axel? How come Hayner gets Roxas and I don't?
Why is Roxas never there for me anymore? Why am I so.....
out of the picture?
Me- Poor Axel. At first this story was just to releave some guilt off my shoulders, but then I thought I could turn it into a story. Unfortunately, this whole situation revolved around me. but I did NOT know my best friend liked me! I was totally oblivious! And I did break up with the other guy and I am dating the "Axel" of this story. His name is Blake and we've been going out for about a year now so YAY!
Thx for reading! Much apologies for angsty-Axel!
