A Misunderstanding
Chapter 1- Missing~
(Roxas Pov.)
This was all just a misunderstanding I didn't mean to do it. I really didn't, it was a stupid mistake and I really wish I can go back in time and start all over again.
"No Roxas, some things are just meant to be." People will tell me.
"No it was for the best." That was a really famous line in my case.
"It wasn't your fault." That one too…
"I'm sorry for your loss." Especially that one, I'm tired of it I don't want to hear it anymore! I'm sick and tired of hearing people saying sorry to me I just want my life to be the way it once had been before the missing of my brother went plastered all over the news. I'm not even sure how my brother went missing in the first place, all I know that the day he went missing, it was raining with thunder and lighting striking through the dark endless sky.
I remember running down stairs trying to find a flashlight because the power went out, and my twin brother was up in his room closing the windows and shutting the curtains. Our parents weren't home at the time so we were left alone to face the darkness ourselves. The wind was howling outside making the leaves blow up to our windows and the trees violently swaying, this wasn't really our first night ever having to face the storm like this even though were near a beach. It really didn't matter to me since my brother and I had each other and knowing we can depend on the other if we needed help. We both sat on his bed waiting for the storm to pass but it never did, it felt like it had been hours already. My brother said he had to use the bathroom but as soon as he left the room broken glass broke the pattern of wind blowing and thunder clashing. Soon after that the scream of my brother sent me running to where he was. When I tried pulling the door it was locked I kept slammed my shoulder against the door repeatedly and soon after it opened my brother was gone. The window was open with wind blowing inside and rain drops falling on the tile floors. And I noticed a piece of paper on the floor that had messy red ink handwriting and all the broken glass in the bathroom. Once I read the letter it made my blood run cold
That night had to be the worst nights I had ever had, I ran all over that house to find my sibling but he was nowhere to be found I even ran outside in the raining dark night but it was hard to break the news to my parents. I didn't want to believe what it said on that piece of paper I really didn't. I crumpled up the paper and shoved it down my back jean pocket, I wouldn't dare show this to anyone. Nobody needs to know about it…well for now that is.
Police's cars were outside and inside searching up and down but no matter how much we looked for him it was no use he was gone. We even had search teams going down to every block in the neighbor hood. They went to the local parks, liquor stores, and 24 hour open stores.
The missing of Sora Strife has still been going on for 5 years already.
So the pain deep in my chest was still there but I didn't dare tell anyone about what I was feeling
Chapter 2- Apologizing
(Third Person Pov.)
Beep…Beep…Beep….
"Wake Up Roxas! You don't want to be late for your first day of school!"
"Ugh…" moaned Roxas trying to put the pillow over his head while slamming his
fist on top of the alarm clock. He was about to fall back to sleep but got interrupted when someone poured cold water on him. He immediately got up and looked around and found his mother Tifa Strife with one hand on her hip and a very annoyed look on the her face.
"Good morning mom~" Yawned the small blond and running his hand through his now soaked wet hair. He wasn't really that surprised with that cold shock of water he already got used to it through out the years.
"Don't good morning me young mister! I told you to get up and get dressed and look at what I found here once I get up here?" She said more in a demand voice then a question. "A sleeping boy who I told to get up about 5 minutes ago!"
"Sorry mom." The young boy said getting up and slowly making his way to the bathroom. (Roxas was going through the phase where he is starting to careless now.)
"Jeesh, your turning out more like your father by the minute!"
"I love you too mom!"
Roxas quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face, then soon after started throwing random clothes on. He looked at himself in the mirror he was wearing a long sleeved shirt and a rock band shirt over it, black skinny jeans with a silver studded belt hanging on his slim hips, and of course his messy converse that had traces of markers being written on them. Roxas took out his gel and started styling his hair the way he liked, spikes going one side and keeping it a little messy on this bangs that just bounced right into place when he ran his finger through his hair.
He nodded approval and ran down stairs soon finding his mother wearing a pink apron and her hair in a messy tight bun. Then an awful smell slapped Roxas across the face, the stench was so bad he already felt like throwing up.
"Um mom what is that god awful smell?" He put his sleeved hand over his nose.
"Heh, It's that bad?"
"Mom! Are you trying to cook again?"
"Um… yea I was." She said scratching the back of her head.
"How many times do we have to tell you? No cooking in the kitchen." Roxas grabbed his mother hand and led her out of the kitchen.
"OH GOD WHAT'S THAT AWFUL SMELL?" That meant Cloud was up. Cloud was Roxas's step father, the blonds' original father left Tifa and Roxas, because his father and mother always fought about the disappearing of their son rather then trying to work together and try to solve the case. So of course his dad got fed up with it and left them and found someone else and already made a new family, and top if off of the two had to go through court for the divorcement for a very long time. The two would sometimes talk over in the phone fighting about how Roxas never gets to have anytime with his 'father' anymore but Tifa refuses to let Roxas spend time with the man who used to be his father so Tifa was very over protective when it came to Roxas. The blond wasn't really all that affected about the two he was actually okay with it, his father never really spend time with him anyways. Because his father's favorite son was Sora for some reason he liked him better then Roxas, so the blond never really had quality time with him. But when Cloud came into the picture, Roxas was already bonding with him the two actually had a lot in common and It was strange because Cloud and Roxas looked a lot a alike: they both had blond spiky hair, same color light skin, and they both had blue piercing eyes. So whenever Tifa has some of her friends over they would all get shocked that Cloud was Roxas' step father because they would think they were actually father and son, Roxas actually liked it he really admire Cloud.
"Oh come on! It can't be that bad!" Yelled out TIfa getting Roxas' attention.
"Yes it can mom." She sighed in defeat and sadly starting to clean up the mess in the kitchen.
"I was just trying to be the best mother I can be."
"Aw mom its okay we already love you the way you are."
"A mom who can't even cook a decent breakfast for her family? A mother who works as a fighting trainer? Is that your ideal of a mother?"
"That's alright honey," Cloud came behind Tifa and pecked her on the cheek. "We love you just the way you are."
"Ew dad don't do that when I'm in the same room with you guys."
"Hush boy soon your going to be doing this once you have a wife too."
"Whatever," 'sorry to break it you dad but I'm bi so I'm nowhere close to having a wife or even a girlfriend. Plus I'm to depressed to even find one.' Roxas thought but shrugged it off and went to the living room grabbed his car keys and snatched his checkered backpack that had dozen of buttons and random pins sticking into it.
"Wait aren't you going to eat honey?"
"Not after you just almost burned the kitchen with toxic gas! I'm good I'll just eat at school bye mom, bye dad!" Roxas quickly opened the door and ran out to his car kicking his door open. 'Damn stupid piece crap of a car.' Roxas never really liked his car but at least it was something, he refuses to go in the school bus it always smelled werid in there, the seats always had holes in them so the cushions' stuffing were coming out, and pieces of trash were scattered all over the floor.
As Roxas started the engine a loud bang erupted from the car that sounded much like a gun shot that almost gave a woman a heart attack who was walking her dog and was around her late 60's, he ignored it and just pulled out of the drive way and made his way to school. He soon drove inside the school parking lot trying to find a parking space, he was about to lose hope until he spotted something.
The blond-head soon found a shaded spot but right before he was about to park a red mustang soon took his spot, he just cursed under his breath. Roxas quickly looked at the mirror to try to see who was the jerk that took his spot.
The only thing he saw was red blazing hair that almost looked like fire, but forced to look away from the blazing hair and go after the parking space that had his name all over it.
As soon when the blond shut off the engine and got out of his little crappy car he was immediately greeted by a running blond head that was wearing cargo pants, a black tank top, with a sweater over it.
"Hey…Roxas! I…haven't seen…you in… a….while now." The blond boy was trying to catch his breath while putting both hands on his knees and panting.
"Hey Hayner, it's nice to see you too." Roxas said with a fake smile. Roxas remembered him, he was one of his close best friends they would play fight with each other, have sea salt ice cream, and of course their favorite game was 'Struggle' they would get really competitive when it came that game. Pence and Olette would never choose teams they would always cheer both of them on no matter what, but that left things a little complicated between Roxas and Hayner since they always wanted to know who was, 'Struggler Champ' between two.
"Hayner!" Two other people soon had to come to Hayner's aid.
"Hey Pence and Olette, long time no see." Even though the blond looked like he was happy outside but inside he was depressed.
"Oh hey Roxas!" Olette beamed. "Whats up Roxas?" Pence playfully punched his arm.
"Aw look at this. The gang all back together once again! "Hayner said while bringing us all down to a group hug. This looked like any happy friend scene except for the fact that Roxas was just sad inside and was not completely healed since the tragedy.
"Hey Roxas we were planning on going to the new ice cream shop that just opened up by the market in Destiny Ave. you want to come along?" Olette offered politely.
"Sure I would love to come." I would rather just go to my room and watch tv then hang out actually. Roxas thought, but it might be best if he went along so his parents wouldn't have to worry about him being utterly depressed.
"Awsome." (Olette)
"Sweet." (Pence)
"Alright!" (Hayner)
The group of friends walked into the school just chatting about regular normal teenager stuff until the apologizing came up.
"Um- hey Roxas?" Pence said stuttering over his words.
"Yea Pence?" Roxas turned his head to look at his nervous friend. Hayner and Olette immediately stopped talking and paying close attention to the other two.
"Um I'm really sorry what had happened to your little brother." Inside Roxas felt like running away but just sucked it up and put up a good act.
"Pence it's alright, it wasn't your fault." Roxas smiled and punched him on the arm. The blond felt like his soul just split into half once again this pain in his chest was soon to be remembered, the pain felt the same from that horrible night that Roxas was so desperate to get away from.
"I guess your right but seriously dude you've been through a lot." Pence added.
"No I'm serious its okay I'm not sad, no need to apologize anymore."
"Um…sure thing Rox." Pence said quickly changing the subject. The four best friends had to soon part and go to their different classes. Lucky enough for Roxas he didn't have classes with Olette because if he did he would be trap having to listen to her talk about girl stuff and brag about her summer vacation. Roxas did like her as a friend but she could easily make anyone bang their head against a wall just to get away the random crap she talks about. Especially Hayner because the guy talks about sports 24/7 since he's the top baseball player and he was a huge womanizer he almost hit on every girl in the school except Olette. He never really considered Olette as a girl because she would always hang with the gang and didn't seem all that girly. But Roxas doesn't mind having Pence in his classes because Pence was actually a very nice guy he was a dork but still the blond was very close friends with him, they did dorky things that only they knew and would never dared bringing them up. Because it involves Roxas in his undies, with a towel around his neck, and running around in his backyard pretending to be superman every time Pence came over to play when they were kids. Before Roxas was about to run into a pole he snapped out of his thoughts and continue looking for his class.
When the blond looked at his new class schedule he was already having problems on where he was suppose to go, he tried asking some of the other students around for help but most of them just seem to be either talking to old and new friends or to busy on finding their own classes too. As the young blond walked through the busy hallways completely lost on where to go, he happened to bump into someone who seemed to be very tall it seemed. Roxas landed on his hands and knees, he tried picking up the papers that fell out his hands that was instructions around the school but right before was reaching for it another hand was trying to reach for it as well. The hand had long slender fingers with a silver ring around the person's thumb and middle finger and two studded wristbands around the pale wrist. Roxas trailed his eyes up and finally was looking face to face with green like cat eyes, the red blazing hair, the strong angled face features, and those up side down triangles tattoos on his face.
The red head cleared his throat, "Um, this is your papers right?" Roxas looked at him as if he were speaking a different language. He soon again cleared his throat again. Roxas couldn't help but just stare into the green eyes.
"Oh!" The blond remembered. "I'm sorry." He grabbed the papers brushed himself off and dashed through the hallways not turning back to look at the green eyed red head. The red head was left there still on his knees and confused at the mysterious blond head who, just up and left him still on his knees in the middle of the hallway.
Instead of finding his classroom since he still had 15 minutes left to spare he went off to find his locker.
"9…10…11…12…and… 13. Here we go." Roxas quickly opened his locker with the given combination and mange to clean it up a little bit with a tissue.
Before he could throw out the use tissue he was stopped by an over huge shadow that cast over him like a blanket, when the blond looked up his eyes were meet with ice cold turquoise eyes that seemed to look like it was glowing. But the blond knew right away who the person was.
It was Riku Aki, it was Sora's best friend. Of course the blond head would remember him, he was the same person that seemed to always make Sora laugh and smile and the same person that cried about the disappearance of Sora Strife. He also helped out with the investigation and helped out putting flyers up around town. As far from Roxas's perspective, Riku was a really good friend.
"Hey Roxas."
"Hey Riku, so how have you been?"
He shrugged, "Same old, nothing much, what about you?"
"Not so great." Roxas didn't need to lie to Riku because they both knew how the other felt and what they're going through, they still hadn't recovered from the incident.
"Still pretending to be happy I see."
"Yea, like your not doing it yourself." Roxas scoffed at him.
"Hmm I never said that, I'm still….you know hmm….what's the word?"
"Depressed?"
"Yeah." He said chuckling and looking down at the floor.
"So do you happen to have any classes with me?"
"Here let me see." Riku grabbed Roxas's schedule and looked through it.
"Yes you do, you have Mr. Vexen with me in period 3 and PE with Mr. Fair during period 2." Riku said while handing back the blonds' paper back. Roxas was a senior just like Riku but Roxas actually skipped classes so he was very young he was only 16 and about to turn 17 in about a month and he was a senior already. Roxas was a very brilliant student almost a genius really and was he started signing into colleges and got accepted into some of them. But he was still deciding which college to go into.
"Cool and- hey do you know were this class is?" Roxas asked.
"Room 7?" Riku questioned.
"Yea I can't seem to find it anywhere."
"Oh it's down the hall, go left, and its third door to the right." Riku instructed.
"Thanks Riku, see you in 2nd period!" Roxas slammed his locker closed and went where Riku instructed him to go. What Roxas first notice was that this hallway was almost deserted with only one student still trying to put his textbooks in his locker. The boy had blue hair that had his bangs covering his right eye, kind of scrawny looking not that much muscles, and the person was wearing all black with metal chains hanging down his pants. The blue haired boy must have heard him because he turned his head to look at the blond, instead of him saying hi all he did was stare at him. It felt like they were both having a conversation with their eyes and didn't need to talk to know what the other was thinking.
"Here come, you have room 7 right." The blued hair said not really saying it as if it were a question but as a statement.
Roxas just nodded and followed the other.
"So what's your name?" Roxas asked.
"Zexion but most people call me little emo kid, but I prefer it if you were to call me by my legal name." Zexion said not even looking at Roxas just staring straight ahead.
"Okay Zexion, my name is Roxas Strife nice to meet you."
"….."
"Umm so do you know if this teacher is nice?" Roxas said tried to ignore the werid akwardness between the two.
"Why are you sad?"
"What?" Roxas exclaimed but lowered his voice.
"Why are you sad?" Zexion repeated his words.
"Umm why would you say that?" Roxas scratched his head. "Why should I be sad?"
"Because your lying to me."
"I'm not lying I don't see any reason for me to be sad that's it."
"Stop lying, I know when somebody is lying to me or you can say 'Nobody'." Roxas thought Zexion grinned but couldn't tell by the fact his fair was covering his right face.
Roxas was starting to feel unsettle now. Roxas was troblued, he just acted friendly and smiled and this mysterious guy comes and notices that he's not happy? The blond was confused he was a good liar, he does it to make people think he was okay, the kid has been lying for years now. He just said what the people wanted to hear and he did it, why would people want to feel sympathy towards a boy that hardly even socializes with anyone else besides the few 5 people he knew.
Before Roxas could have denied it, but Zexion opened the door, walked in and went to the back of the class in the corner. Zexion wasn't even looking at Roxas way, instead he took a book out that had a werid symbol on the cover of the book and was silently reading it.
Roxas took that as a sign to just forget about it and went over to the seat that was beside the window so he had a full view of the bleacher where some slackers were sleeping or smoking. Roxas disgusted smokers he never really liked seeing people smoke but for some reason he admired the smell of it. Roxas just loved the way how the smoke had a bitter smell to it almost like car oil and cleaning liquids. But Roxas never smoked and never will.
Roxas peeled his eyes away from the window and looked around the class there wasn't really that much people since it was kind of early only a few people were in here. There was a girl who had blond hair, a white dress shirt, and a blue plaid skirt that had ruffles underneath, and what almost looked like was nurses' shoes. Roxas can tell that this girl was a highly ranked student and a goody two shoes, the girl seemed to be writing her pencil across a sketch book.
Then Roxas looked at his left side and saw two people standing and chatting away with loud voices, one had pink hair and the other person had a very bright yellow like hair. The pink haired one was wearing a tight shirt that showed his muscles and there defiantly some muscles there and he was wearing tight skinny jeans with a white belt that didn't need to hold anything up since the jeans were tight on the guy anyway.
And from this view Roxas could tell that the guy was gay even the way he stood ranged an automatic bell saying that he was gay. The other person was a girl that had two strands of hair pulled back that almost looked like antlers but pulled back with really good hairspray for it being to stay like that, Clearly, this showed that this girl was a slut she had a black mini skirt on and a yellow tube top on showing her abs and the belly ring she had, and was wearing heavy makeup that almost compared to a clown's makeup.
Roxas couldn't help but listen to what the two were talking about since they had loud voices.
"Hey Marly did you hear that Leon knocked up that girl that showed up to the bonfire last Friday?" The slut said (sorry for all you Larxene fans out there!) while having a smirk on her glossy pink lips.
"What? No way, I thought Leon was gay?"
"Of course he is! He only did it because he was dared to and plus he didn't care he was already drunk as hell!" The girl laughed.
"Oh my god, that's crazy but what happened with the girl?"
"OH well people said once she found that he only did it because he was dared to she started crying with her eyeliner pouring down her face and ran away with a shoe missing plus she even had her skirt all messed up that showed she wasn't wearing anything underneath!" The girl hollered and was laughing so hard all her teeth were showing. The pink haired was soon laughing just as the other was.
'Wow is this what teenagers talk about? God that's horrible,' Roxas thought while pretending to read a book that he pulled out from his backpack. The book he was 'reading' was about William Shakespeare, not like he was really reading it right now, but read it last night. Once Roxas got fed up with the conversation that the two were talking about he was now paying more attention to his book and was already reading the third chapter to it.
More people began piling up in the room but paid no attention to that Roxas just stuck his nose into his book. Before Roxas was about to turn the page from his book, someone happened to tapped him on the back. He slowly took his time placing his bookmark on his page closing it and turning around to see who wanted his attention.
"Yes?" Once he actually saw who it was. It was the red head in the hallway, Roxas eyes got big that almost popped right out of his sockets,
"Hey your that kid that I bumped into the hallway just earlier! Hey I never got to introduce myself properly." The red head held his hand out waiting for the blond to shake his hand but it never came so he just dropped his hand.
"My name is Axel. A-X-E-L got it memorized?" Axel said with a wink.
"Roxas Strife."
"What? Is that a name of an energy drink?" Axel cocked his head to the side.
Roxas' eye twitched, "No that's my name." He said coldly.
"Oops sorry," Axel laughed "So hey are you lost because you do know this is a senior class?"
Roxas eye twitched again "I am very clear that this is a senior class and no I'm not lost this is my class."
Axels' mouth formed into a 'o', "Wait you're a senior?"
Roxas nodded his head and rolling his eyes at the slow discovery that red head found.
"But you look young and your so short!" Axel exclaimed, some of the students stared at the two of them and heard some laughs, Roxas was clearly pissed and Axel didn't seem to know.
Roxas just turned around in his chair and stared straight ahead not even going to spare a glance or a word to Axel.
"Hey Roxy so are you like new?" Axel said leaning over, he was so close that Roxas can feel his breath next to his ear. Roxas got goose bumps all over his arms and back. He didn't respond.
Hey Roxy?" Roxas closed his eyes, he was close to his breaking point already. Who the hell does this person thinks he's talking to? That hothead bastard! First he insults me thinking my name is so type of energy drink, made fun of my height, confused me as freshmen, and calling me Roxy like he knows me! I'm going to fucking shove my fist down his throat! Roxas then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the red head once more.
"I would prefer if you wouldn't call me Roxy my name is Roxas not Roxy. Got it memorized?" Roxas said forcing a smile on his face and stealing Axel's words.
"Aww but Roxy is a cute nickname just like you." Axel quickly pecked on Roxas' cheek and pulled away putting his hands behind his head and grinning. Roxas started turning different shades of red all over his face blushing so hard he almost looked like a cherry.
"Hey you look even cuter when your blushing Roxy."
"Shut up!" Roxas snapped his face to still red.
"Make me." Axel grinned. Roxas glared in return but just ignored him and turned his attentions when the teacher finally walked in.
"Hey Roxy lets be friends." Axel said leaning over again just whispering and that's it. Roxas ignored him like he didn't hear him at all.
Damn this is going to be a long day.
