Oh And R/R, Toodles!
Roxas ran. It didn't matter where he ran now, he just wanted to run as far as he could. He knew if he ran far enough, nobody would care for him. It's not as if anyone does anyway…they all live in their own worlds now, forgetting about me, that thought went through his head every time he thought of her. Why couldn't she just leave me alone?
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Namine woke up, cold. I'm alone, was the first thing that came into her mind. She shivered as she pulled the blankets up; there were never enough blankets to keep her warm at night. The musty smell of dampness washed over her, I really must get that leak fixed sometime soon.
She looked over at the clock; it read 7:55AM. Great, just what I wanted to know, I've only got five minutes before I have to go to work in this cold, damp weather. Oh god, why not put me outta my misery right now?
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there
He kept running, even when it started raining, water splashing off his face. So this is what its like to be heartbroken? His hair matted over his face now, his breathing came in fast rapid strokes, he no longer cared how long he had been running for, he just knew he'd been running for a long time. I wonder… he thought to himself, if anyone misses me?
Roxas turned into another street, then suddenly hit something and felt his world go dark.
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
Namine got up, arrogant bastard, just running into me like that! She looked over at who had hit her so hard.
"Excuse Me! But-" Namine looked over at him, oh my god, is he alright!?
"Uhm, mister? Are you ok?" Namine looked at him, he looks about seventeen, only two years my younger. She walked over to where he lay down face down on the concrete. Then she saw it, blood.
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
Namine sat in the waiting room shivering, its warm and I'm shivering, all because of a stupid little boy… she sighed in defeat. It was useless to think the way she was currently thinking, I have to stay strong, or…
"Namine." Namine's head came up quickly, the doctor walked over to her.
"Y…Yes?" Namine's voice quavered, why can't I stop shaking?
"We found I.D on the boy, his name is Roxas Leonheart," the doctor placed his hand on Namine's shoulder. "We have stitched up the cuts on his face and hands, he is however still unconscious, we won't know for how long until the x-rays come in."
Tears came unbidden into Namine's eyes, why am I crying over someone I just met, he doesn't even know my name! but, what if he never wakes up?
"Excuse me, but is there a chance he may never wake up?" the words came between sobs, Namine was scared now, for the boys safety.
"Yes, but he has a greater chance of recovering out of his current state," as the doctor said that, he turned around and walked into the emergency room, leaving a pale Namine to figure out what she would do.
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
Roxas felt he was falling, a wingless angel without another to guide it. What am I doing here? Last thing I remember is knocking into some girl who I don't even know her name! He looked around.
Darkness, icky darkness. Where exactly is here? Was all he could think of. Is this some sort of sick joke someone made up? Placing his hands to cup over his mouth he started shouting. "Hello!?" "Anyone there!?" "Can anyone hear me!?" he sighed inwardly, useless to try and call out to something that isn't there.
Roxas lay down, tears now streaming down his face. Why am I alone? Where am I? What is this place? Argh, I just want some answers! Roxas balled his hands into his face, wiping away the tears that just kept on streaming down his face. Then he felt it, a hand.
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
Namine's hand latched onto Roxas's own, this just isn't right. I'm holding hands with someone who I don't know, who could possibly never wake up again. She just sighed, knowing that she shouldn't leave his side.
She kneeled over his head and whispered in his ear, "Roxas? Roxas, can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can." Then she felt it, he had squeezed her hand. Oh my god, he can hear me!
His eyes stayed dormant, refusing to move, but Namine felt it, that small sliver of hope, Yes, there is hope. "Roxas, wake up please, please wake up so I can know your ok, please…" she pleaded with him, even if she felt it was useless. Her hand stayed clasped around his.
"Excuse me, Miss Lockhart, visiting hours are over. Your going to have to leave now," the doctors voice rang through her head. Leave?
"Can't I just stay a little longer? So I can see if anything happens?" she pleaded with the doctor, but he only shook his head.
"Rules are rules, and we must abide by them Miss Lockhart." The doctor placed his hand on her back, slowly bringing her up.
"But… Can't you just have mercy for once?" Namine was almost in tears now, letting them run freely down her face, she didn't want to leave the boys side, not when she knew this was her own fault.
The doctor replied by pulling her away, until Namine realized.
"His hand! He won't let go of my arm!" Namine nearly fainted as she realized his hand was held firmly in place, holding onto her arm.
"Impossible! This patient is shown to be unconscious he shouldn't be replying to any sort of signals at all!" the doctor gasped at what was happening, then moved over to pull Roxas's hand off of Namine's arm.
Roxas's hand was held firmly in place, Namine didn't know how, or what by, but he was holding on as if his life was on the line. Please, let go Roxas, please let the doctors take care of you. She wanted him to let go, but then, she didn't want to let go either.
"Miss, I'm going to have to ask you to stop playing tricks and let go of his hand!"
"But it's not me! It's Roxas, he's doing this!"
"But tests show this patient is unconscious!"
"Then take your tests and shove them where the sun doesn't shine! I'm leaving"
Then his voice came from the bed, "Namine, hah, such a pretty name." Roxas was awake, and smiling.
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
Roxas just lay there, smiling. "So… Doc, can I have some water?" another smile flashed over his face and Namine couldn't help but let a tear fall down her face. "Why the long face bub?"
"Just, I'm the reason your in this condition," Namine sobbed openly now. "I walked around the corner, and you ran into me, and kind've fell face first onto the concrete."
Roxas looked at her, "hey don't sweat about it, I've been in worse conditions. Actually truth be told, I prefer being in this condition then the one I was in previously. You see, I was trying to runaway from everything, but now I see, that the only thing I've been running away from is myself."
Namine gasped, she was amazed at how a boy, who seemed so right, preferred being in hospital then be running around with his friends. Then she said it, "Why?"
"Well, why not?" a smile was now pasted on his face, "you have to understand that I was running away from the things that hurt the most, just like everyone wishes they could, I realize that I was running away from myself. And that it just wasn't right, now that I think about it. I should have stayed where I was then this wouldn't have happened, but then, I wouldn't have met you. Right?"
Namine hugged him, "you bully! You had me worried sick about you, for what. Nothing!?" she beat her fists into his chest, crying openly. Roxas just wrapped his arms around her.
"Everything is gonna be alright."
The doctor then looked up, still astounded at his recovery. "If you would like, we could discharge you right now, just don't do anything like that again, or the damage could be worst." Roxas just nodded.
Outside the hospital Namine led Roxas to a taxi, she had stopped sobbing now.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye then, Roxas." Namine felt frozen as she said it, how could I be so cold when this boys just got out of hospital.
"I think not Namine," then he did the last thing she expected, he grabbed her waist and pulled her into him, then he kissed her.
Their lips locked together and she just knew, yes, it's alright now, everything is alright.
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?
