Second Violin

I usually loved this weather... the rain gently coming down and the occasional rumble of thunder in the distance. Most of all I just loved the feeling of being alone, nobodies voice to interrupt these thoughts which were totally mine. Safe in this twisting, turning, confusing labyrinth of my mind, these thoughts however today provided no comfort, I found myself silently wishing that the rain could wash away all my angry memories beating at my silent defenses like it washed away the gel in my hair or the dirt on my face. Why did they have to call me those names? I can be strong like them... I know I can, its just harder for me to believe that I really have no heart. Even as they tell me I don't I swear I can feel it beating on my rib cage in a desperate attempt to be heard. Just like when Axel beat my face into the ground for asking him if he didn't have a heart why did he miss Roxas so much?

I can hear music, although Im probably hallucinating from having my head pounded into the ground repeatedly...no, I can defiantly hear music. It sounds so sad, the bass of the violin slowly growing and fading into the silent lonely night. I couldn't help but be pulled to the sorrow of the music that so mirrored my own, a child barely six years old sits on top of an old decrepit building. I wonder, what has happened to a child so young that she can play with such sorrow that only a nobody can appreciate? She seems oblivious to the world around her, eyes glazed and unfocused as she slowly saws away with the well resined bow, the haunting melody floating into the air and dissipating into the foreboding silence of nothing. She stops playing, I fear that I have been found out and quickly move to the ally that prevents her from seeing me but not from me seeing her. What is she doing? Listening... for what? My answer soon comes as a sorrowing tune matches her own from another building a distance away. Just as hers was his, the sorrow of a haunted youth rising into the nights air and finding its way to the young girl.

She smiles that her forbidden friend has returned her calling, picking up her bow and violin she carefully climbs through the open window, her midnight serenade is complete. I let out a long held breath, whilst a dark portal opens behind me. "Demyx?" I turn and look at the fiery haired adult standing with his head dipped toward the ground "Yes Axel?" He looks at me and I can see standing tears in his eyes "Im sorry . . . I didn't mean to lose my temper at you." One tear slowly slides down his cheek "Im just afraid of losing you like I lost Roxas" I sigh and slowly move toward him, his arms wrapping around my waist as mine go around his neck "Axel, you will never lose me. I promise . . . " I embraced him, for what I didn't know would be the last time. I held him my friend, my protector, my lover. We slowly walked into the dark portal together as the sounds of the second violin faded into the night.
