OK, I was feeling angsty the other day and this decided to come out. I actually had the idea a while ago when I was feeling crappy but I didn't know if I wanted to try my hand at writing it. You'll have to tell me how I do.

I hope this turned out alright.

Last Hope

She watched them from her lonely perch on the couch. Every day was the same. All of them would go about their daily business and then come together to eat lunch before all congregating in the living room. The couples would sit together and she would sit alone and watch them. They never noticed, of course.

It was always the one couple that caught her attention, though. The one with the person that mattered most. Him. But her envious stares were nothing in comparison to theirs. Their stares into one another's eyes while they spoke in low voices and laughed. The sound of happiness in their voices hurt her–wrenched on her heart and made it ache. How could he not notice?

Today was the day when it finally became too much. She needed him, couldn't he see that? But he didn't pay any attention. The other couples, too, were too busy to care.

She dug her fists into her eyes in an attempt to keep the tears from squeezing out. Hide them, always.

"Are you alright? Your eyes are kind of red." One caring blonde rose to examine her more closely.

"I'm fine, Roxas," she lied. "My eyes are just a little itchy. Allergies, I think."

"You can use my bed to rest if you want," he offered. She smiled gratefully and quickly–but not too quickly as to be suspicious–walked in the direction of her friend's room. "There are eye drops in the medicine cabinet!" The Keyblader called after her.

She didn't bother with them. After closing the door, she sank onto the bed. Her sobs were lost against the sound of the TV and the others talking.

Some time later, she rolled over. "Why?" she questioned the ceiling. "Am I that horrid?"

Turning onto her side, she smiled sadly as the picture of Roxas, Naminé, him and her caught her eye. The infamous picture.

"I guess so," she admitted. "I could never make him smile that way."

Around dinner time, Roxas entered his room to ask his sleeping friend if she would be joining them. His question changed, though, when he caught sight of her face. Whipping away a single tear from her cheek, he called her name.

"Is something wrong?"

"You know there's always something wrong with me, Roxas."

"Want to talk about it?"

She smiled gratefully at him for the second time that day and opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted.

"Roxas?" his significant other called.

"Come on, we're all waiting!" he urged.

Deciding she most likely wouldn't be coming he asked, "Can we talk later?"

She nodded but after the door closed added, "You were just my last hope."

You'll never guess who the guy is. Go ahead, guess. I dare you. :D

I think this could be for anyone who has had their heart broken before. Some of you have felt that way before, right? I really hope it turned out alright. It didn't really come out sounding the way I wanted it to but I guess it's OK and I'm slightly proud of it.

Also, I apologize if any of you reading this are waiting on a story from me. I know I promised you one and I know it's been a while but KissyNae and I only have a paragraph so far. I have no excuse except for laziness. But it is started! It should be out soon.

Please Review!!
