Someday
Someday, you're gonna realize
One day you'll see this through my eyes
By then I won't even be there
I'll be happy somewhere
Even if I can't…
Train Station
"Inhale. Exhale." Namine slowly told herself as she fidgeted with the sketchbook in her hands. "You can do this!" She thought as she found herself walking her way towards the train station at Sunset Hill. Today was the day when her best guy friend was moving away to Destiny Islands, she couldn't tell whether she really wanted to feel sad or happy for this moment. Her eyes wavered through the crowd until she found the familiar brown haired boy, "Sora!"
He turned around at the sound of her voice and greeted her with a cheesy smile of his, "Namine! And here I thought you weren't going to come."
She laughed lightly, "Sorry, I got held up with my art project."
"Ah, that sounds like you," he nodded in agreement. When it came to the blond girl, once she gets an idea, there's no stopping her.
"Yeah…" she smiled not knowing what else to say. They stood there in silence for a couple of minutes, neither of them wanting to say farewell. She glanced up at him, "Sora…do you really have to go?"
"Hey," he patted her head softly, "you make it sound like I'll never come back."
She stared into his eyes with a sad expression feeling the tears beginning to well up. "No, don't cry Namine, don't cry."
Too late, a tear managed to escape, causing more tears to fall. She looked away in embarrassment and scolding herself for letting him see her like this for the last time. "Namine…" He began to wipe her tears away and hugged her softly, "Don't cry…" he paused, "because if you cry, then I'll start feeling sad and everyone around us will think I'm the bad guy who made you cry and before you know it, I'll miss my train."
She let out a small laugh, "I don't know if you're trying to make me feel bad or better."
"At least it got you to stop crying," he added with hopefulness that she wouldn't start tearing up again.
Namine nodded, "Yeah, somehow, it did."
"The train leaving for Destiny Islands will be leaving shortly, all passengers must board the train immediately,"the speaker on the intercom announced interrupting the two.
"Ah, I'll have to board soon." Sora began as he grabbed his bag and glanced over at Namine.
She knew this day was going to come, but somehow something made her wish for it to never happen. The blond gave him a smile to keep from looking sad, "I guess this is goodbye."
"Don't say that," he shook his head at that type of farewell, "Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting."
"That's quite a line," she murmured, "is that supposed to be a quote?"
Sora gave her a knowing smile, "Something a friend of mine told me a while back."
"Oh course, it'd be a surprise for someone like you to think up of something that deep," she grinned. "I almost forgot," she started as she reached into her side bag for something in particular. "Here, it's for you."
He opened his hand to see an object in a shape of a yellow star like a keychain form. "I got the idea from the fruit that's grown in Destiny Islands, a paopu fruit!" she smiled happily, "you better appreciate it, this was the "art project" that took me so long to finish." She gave him a short glare as a warning before smiling again.
Sora took a good look at it holding it in front of him, "Thanks," as he began to put it in his pocket, "I'll definitely treasure it."
They heard the announcement go off again, meaning that Sora was bound to leave any second. "Namine?" he leaned forward to whisper something in her ear," don't do anything drastic while I'm gone."
"Hey!" she glared watching him step into the train.
He stood inside the train beside the door, "Don't forget, you can always visit me!"
The doors immediately closed, the only barrier between them as the train started to move slowly away from the station. Namine gave him a farewell wave with a sad smile that the train in front of her was taking her first love away from her. She stood on the platform watching the locomotive getting farther and farther until she couldn't see it anymore.
"I couldn't tell him…" She whispered softly in slight regret. Her hand held the sketchbook tightly which held her letter of confession to Sora. Originally, she had planned to give it to him, but she back out at the last minute in worry of rejection and ruining their friendship.
"Well, I better take the next train back to Twilight Town," she muttered to no one. "Sora and I used to ride back home together…" Now it seemed like she was going to have to go home by herself. Her vision started to become blurry making her cry again but she scolded herself to be strong and quickly wiped her tears away.
"Um…Miss?"
"Now what?" She looked up to see a blond boy in front of her holding her sketchbook that she must have dropped. "Now I'm definitely hallucinating…" This guy wasn't Sora, but he looked oddly similar in appearance.
"Ah!" She must have seemed like an idiot for not saying anything, "T-Thank you…" she muttered as she took her sketchbook back.
He gave her a friendly smile, "No problem."
"He has a friendly smile…" Great, now she wasn't captivated by his looks, but his smile too.
"The next train will be leaving for Twilight Town shortly." The intercom repeated the message several times before becoming quiet for the next timed announcement.
"Well, that's my train." The boy pointed before waving a good bye to her.
"W-Wait!" She covered her mouth in surprise at what she just said. What was she doing asking a stranger out of the blue like that? "Uh…um…" she could see him waiting patiently, "th-that's my train too…"
Namine gazed towards the ground in embarrassment, confused in what she just did. You don't tell strangers that kind of thing. She could hear his footsteps starting again thinking that he ignored her.
Instead, he walked over to her with an interested look, "Really?"
"Y-Yeah…"
It was quiet, she couldn't blame him in this situation. I mean, what would a person say to someone who just blurted out that she's going on the same train? Normal people would've just nodded and walk away.
He held out his hand in front of her, "Let's go home together."
Her face became pink, "Eh?!"
He just smiled and took her hand, "C'mon, if we keep standing we'll both miss our train."
Flashback
"I can't believe the others left without us!" Namine sighed as they stood around the train station waiting for the next one. "They could've waited or something."
Sora handed her the train ticket, "At least they didn't leave you by yourself."
She shrugged, "That's true…" Either way, if he found out they were going to leave her, she bet he would've stayed behind too.
He held his hand out towards hers, "Let's go home together."
The blond girl opened her eyes from remembering those words. She glanced at her surroundings seeing people of different ages on board like her waiting to arrive at their destination, Twilight Town.
"C'mon, if we keep standing we'll both miss our train." Sora grinned dragging the blond girl along with him to the train.
"Ack, Sora!" She was definitely not the athlete type, but Sora's type of fast was beyond normal human speed, "Not too fast!"
End of Flashback
She smiled fondly at that memory and paused noticing the looks others were giving her. Or rather them. They weren't bad, it was more of "Are they together?" looks.
Her eyes averted down to her right hand which was still in grasp with this boy she had just met. "S-Sorry!" She quickly let go of his hand and bowed her head down slightly.
The boy didn't say anything at first due to the fact he was listening to music from his skull candy earphones and stared at her with a questioning look, "You don't like holding hands?"
"Ah!" Her cheeks turned slightly pink, "It's not that…it's just…we just met and we're…" How was she going to word it? She stared at him unsure of how to say it nicely.
The girl stayed like that for a few minutes, staring at him with a daze until he coughed slightly, "Ahem…is there something on my face?"
Her face became pink, "Sorry! I…" Her mind went blank: she forgot what she wanted to say, "sorry…"
He let out a small chuckle, "You seem to say sorry a lot."
"Agh, sorry!" She said it again and mentally slapped herself in the face, "You remind me of someone." There she said it.
The blond boy leaned against the wall closing his eyes as if he were planning on taking a nap soon, "Do I?" he sounded amused by this, "A friend of yours?"
"A really good friend of mine." She smiled emphasizing on the friend part which made her heart thump nervously, "He decided to move back to his old home, Destiny Islands."
He slowly started putting his earphones back on, "Hm, that sounds like Sora."
"Yeah, he-" She stopped mid-sentence, replaying his words before staring at him in disbelief, "how did you know?"
The boy smiled as he opened his eyes to see her confused expression. "Well it'd be rude if my cousin hadn't told me anything about his whereabouts."
Inhale. Exhale. "C-Cousin?" she repeated.
He held out his hand, "The name's Roxas."
She was too stunned to say anything as she slowly managed to bring her hand to shake his. The moment they shook hands, a genuine smile began to form on her face, "I'm Namine."
"Last stop: Twilight Town."
A/N: I wouldn't be surprised if any of you were wondering "Another kh story? Shouldn't you at least update your other ones?"
True, I COULD have updated my unfinished fanfics, but this one was one I've been writing a while back and felt like turning into a fanfic. BTW: the song lyrics I used for this story is "Someday" by Nina.
I couldn't find myself updating my other works as of now since my grandmother passed away and recently found out my cousin passed away from cancer last week, so it's hard for me to concentrate on my works. :( Hopefully, I'll be back to my normal self before this month ends. Reviews are welcome and thanked in the next chapter. Flames will just be used to burn incense for my family. :P
