Namine

"I'm sorry. . . " I already knew she couldn't hear me anymore, she couldn't hear or see anyone anymore. Not that people other then me and her family came and visited. Everyone else had run out of hope, her sudden mental condition deemed uncurable.

The room was so simple and plain, it seemed like it could make anyone go crazy. The silence seemed the worse, wrapping around everything leaving only her soft murmurs. Once she used to chatter constantly, never pausing for breath. Now she lay curled in a ball, eyes darting at invisible monsters.

This is what I caused. Messing with peoples minds and leaving them in broken pieces was my specialty. Only it was harder for me to control since he's been around. Some other part of me seems to listen, to want to tear everything apart. "Selphie." It came out as a guilt ridden whisper. No matter how I tried to erase it or fix her it never worked, unlike all the other times. "selphie." I whispered again, only this time her eyes darted to me. "Selph-?

In an instant her body was on top of mine, her hands like claws. Nails raking into my flesh she shrieked in octaves high enough to shatter glass "YOU CAUSED ALL OF THIS! IT'S YOUR VOICE THAT TELLS THEM TO GET ME! YOUR THE ONE WHO CAUSED ALL OF THEM! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! WHYWON'TYOUJUSTLEAVEMEALON!" Her punches and scratching alternating as her words became more , I couldn't even attempt at blocking her, because she was right. I drew the shadows that chased her, I whispered the words in her head. And now I couldn't even fix her.

Suddenly two white-clad men picked her up off of me, dragging her over to the bed. She didn't fight them, only started sobbing and going limp in their arms. Blood dripped from the gashes she left across my face, arms, and chest, but I ignored them realizing they were going to sedate for her outburst. Something I deserved. "Wait!" I called out, only to be ignored. "Please don't sedate her. It was my fault!" I yelled it only for them to forcfully push Selphie on the bed.

"Please- make it- s-stop. Make them- go away. Make it stop. Make it stop." She cried it out between sobs as they pushed the needle in her arm. Slowly her pleading went down until we were left in silence, leaving the two men and I utterly alone except for her quiet breaths.

"We should get you cleaned up." The taller doctor said, slowly starting to walk toward me. The shorter one with a belly also moved behind him, both acting as if I were about to fall apart. But I couldn't, I never cried anymore. There was nothing it could fix. Instead I followed them, letting them patch me up.

When I left the sun was going down leaving the sky in water color oranges and pinks. Everything outside seemed peaceful. Twilight town sparkled as the sun glittered off the many buildings surrounding the hospital. If it weren't for what happened earlier, I would've enjoyed a day like today. Instead I trugged into the train station and finally turned on my phone. Only one message appeared.

Checking on our little patient again?

Instantly I closed my phone, wanting to hurl it across the cart. He always knew how to get to me, how to control me. There was a dark side of me that he had awakened. And no one expected him, thinking he was just some egotistical jerk. A new message popped up on my phone, this one from Roxas.

Heard Selphie had freaked when you visited her. You alright? _ROXAS_

Suddenly the scenery of Twilight town seemed more vivid as it zoomed by. I knew I had no right to get close to him, but my heart leapt at the thought of him. His ocean blue eyes and golden hair seeming more of a dream then actual reality. Quickly texting back: I'm fine. Wanna get some Ice cream? My heart threatened to leave out of my chest as my phone buzzed again.

Sure. Where are you? _ROXAS_

I'll be at the clock tower in 45. See you then : )

Instantly, I forgot everything thats happened and smiled. Sometimes it felt like he was the only one who could help me.

Roxas

He smiled at her last text,trying to hide it from Axel. "Who are you texing?" His tone sounded as if he already knew and a scowl appeared on his face. Xion looked at Roxas with a tiny bit of pity on her face.

"No one." Warmth surged to his cheeks as he quickly slipped his phone into his pocket. There was no doubt Axel didn't trust Namine, but for some reason he did. Inside Axel's dark apartment it was hard to tell time and he forced himself to not check his phone every few seconds. Axel noticed instantly.

"Are you even listening to me? She's trouble,Roxas." Roxas went to counter what he said, but before he could speak Axel continued. "You know Marluxia is planning something. And ever since this new girl has shown up bad things have been happening to people. I wouldn't put it past her if she was teamed up with him."

"Namine isn't like that!" Roxas cut Axel off from saying anything else. For some reason any time Axel mentioned anything about her he had the urge to jump to her defence. "She's kind and sweet, and if you took the time to know her you would see that." Both Axel and Xion seemed startled by his sudden outburst. Roxas had always been the quiet rational type, seeing him like this startled them beyond beleif. " I have to go." He said, finding his composure as he headed towards the door.

As he walked out into the lit up hallway he felt a nervous tingle in his stomach as he thought of her. ". . . head over heels . . " Xions soft voice seemed to carry to him. Ignoring it, he resisted the urge to slam the door and run to the station and surprise Namine.

This was one of the few times him and his polar opposite friend actually fought. It was startling since he was calm and quiet while Axel was loud and out of control. Their differences, though, only made them closer as friends. But when Axel talked about the fragil girl with azure eyes, he felt as if he NEEDED to protect her from him. His phone chirped in his pocket and he quickly looked at it.

Be there in 5. See you soon.

A flutter started in his stomach and subconciosly he ran his fingers through his hair. This time he didn't fight the urge to run and dodged the people along the crowded streets. He didn't know when he left the building but suddenly he was in the twinkling twilight town. People shouted out comments as he ran into some of them, but their face was just a blur. For some reason he couldn't wait to see her. Golden locks shining in the moonlight and a shy smile pointed towards the ground. His heart sped up in his chest as he saw the train station up ahead.

Without a doubt, if Axel tryed to hurt her, he would protect her.

Reviews would be much appreciated (and let me know if you want me to continue). Lots of love to those who read! Thanks!
