Even though it always felt like there was something missing I never could really miss it since I didn't know what it was.

It was some unexplained empty hole in my chest – something that all the time was there and still was there not. Every time I just lied down in my bed at nights. Well, those odd nights when I wasn't at some party with my friends and group of random people. So I tried to be awake as much as I could. Of course no one can go like that for long, but I slept at school so it worked fine; not for teachers and my parents, but for me. It was always that darkness and quietness of nights that bought that deep, empty hole back to me. I didn't care that teachers were mad at me and that I was send to the headmaster's office – it was good for my image anyways. That was my way to forget that there was something missing. My friends would've thought that I was mad if I had told them about my sleepless nights. I knew that nobody could see what was missing in my life; since I couldn't see it myself, how could any other? Nobody knew me like me.

I had perfect life. I really had. I had lots of friends, and lots of people who wanted me to be their friend. That's how I got invited for some party nearly every day – always there was some friend's cousin's friend or someone who was celebrating something. And if there wasn't, we did it just for fun. Besides of this big bunch of party mates, I had group of really close friends. Axel – I've known him since kindergarten, he's funny redhead – Roxas, who was added to our gang at the beginning of Junior High, Marluxia, he's a real player, though we all are very popular, but he's the biggest cocksman. And then there's Riku, who plays drums in our High School's favorite band, the Heartless Night. He's not really part of our little gang, but he and I are good friends even though we don't hang out together so much. I was, of course, the singer and guitarist of the band. I don't want to boast, but it's a fact that I have great singing voice. Because of our band's popularity and my good looks, many girls had a crush on me – just like on Axel, Roxas, Marluxia and Riku too. I wasn't really interested about serious relationships, but it was nice to have always someone to make out with at parties and bars. I rarely had sex with any of those girls, even though they often wanted; it seemed a bit too unfair for me. I wasn't a heartbreaker like Marluxia, who apparently wanted to shag as many chicks as he could.

Well, so I had many mates, close friends, my beloved band and all those girls around me – and moreover I had wealthy parents, so I always had finest things money can buy. So what there could possibly be missing in my life? That's right; nothing. There was absolutely nothing missing. It was perfect. That's why it pissed me off so badly to spend sleepless nights thinking about something that wasn't there, when I had everything. I had everything.

Nothing was missing.

That's what I told myself. And finally I believed it. 'Cause it was a truth.

"Demyx, get out of there, we're gonna be late!"

"Who cares?" I shouted back.

"Teachers, maybe? You're a real troublemaker, Dem, you know? Truly a pain in my ass. You should get up earlier, if you have so much to do at the mornings"

I ignored the voice behind my bathroom's door and continued to fix my hair with a bottle of hairspray in my hand. Hair was a holy thing, and I couldn't just leave my house with it half-done. Marluxia should know it better than anyone.

"I don't feel like getting up earlier" I answered, "I'm tired for being up nearly all night"

One weird thing about Marluxia was that he was always lively. I don't he ever slept more that four hours in night, but he didn't even have those dark bags under his eyes. Well, of course there was many weird things about him; including his hair.

"You shouldn't really come inside to my house just like that" I muttered when I opened the door and stepped in front of my impatient friend, "You act like this is your castle or something"

"Why not? There's no one home here, except you" Marluxia sighed, "Just come already, we're late again. I don't even know why I bother to pick you up every morning"

"No, really, I'm serious" I continued while locking the front door behind me, "You can't be like you have a red carpet waiting every time you enter to my home. This is not the house of one of your ex-girlfriends, you know"

"Girlfriends" Marluxia repeated, shivering, "Don't make me sound like engaging person, please"

"Right" I said, rolling my eyes, "So, what happened to you last night? You finally got home alive, I suppose?"

"Around 5 o'clock, yes" Marluxia smirked proudly.

"Sure. I remember only that alcohol had something to do with everything" I said, wondering, "It was something that Xigbar had stolen from his uncle, something really fancy…"

"Whisky" Marluxia smacked his mouth, "Awesomely good. It's not everyday to have stuff like that. But I'm afraid that I might have been too much for your little head"

"As Xiggy would say: 'As if'. Me and Axel, we borrowed his big brother's car. You know Reno, he's already 18" I spoke while we approached our school.

"Sure. And I guess that he didn't know you took it?"

"Nope, he was gone for a weekend" I laughed, "So we drove around a little bit, checking if there was something interesting going on in town. Roxas had this great idea of trying to get in Sweet Chili-club, but I'm sure he wants to tell about it himself. What about you?"

"Well, you know" Marluxia winked, "I met this hot chick with long black hair and heavenly legs – I knew right away when I saw her that she was the love of my night. Tifa is her name, but she…"

"Marluxia!" I screamed out, "You didn't try something with Tifa Lockheart, didn't you? Do you wanna be dead, you know she's got something to go on with Cloud, and if you piss him off…"

"I know, I'm not stupid" Marluxia looked indignant, "I really wanted her, but I don't want to risk my life for some one-night stand. So I fucked some random black haired girl instead, using my imagination. She was good, but oh, so boring…"

"You'll get AIDS, you know" I told him. Marluxia raised his eyebrows.

"You worry about me, Dem? How sweet. You can't worry about things like that, if you don't want to end up being a one woman's man like Axel and Roxas…"

"What do you mean?" I asked, "Roxas got a thing going on at least with two girls at the same time-"

"One, two, it's all the same" Marluxia said pejoratively, "Hell, I handle three girls in one night easily"

"I'm bloody sure you would" I snorted, "You should have some girl-calendar and egg timer, it would make your job easier"

"Ah, screw you" Marluxia said as school's front doors opened in front of us.

"Many would gladly, believe me. Where are Axel and Roxas?"

We found them at the cafeteria; Axel drank coffee with his red hair perfectly shaped like always. Roxas sat on the table, hanging his head down, and he was dressed in big baggy black jeans and striped hoodie. This was one of his emo-days again; he hadn't really any problems to be emo for, but I think it attracted girls. They were talking with Luxord, one of our standard drinking buddies.

"What's going on here?" I asked when we arrived.

"Hey guys" Axel greeted. Roxas just mumbled something, "Reno was pretty mad at me, for that little dent we did for his ride"

"Poor you" I smirked and grabbed his coffee cup.

"No, poor you" Axel corrected, "He believed when I told that it was your idea and you did it"

"Typical" I muttered, and Axel turned to Marluxia.

"So, you shagged?" he asked

"Like always" Marluxia smirked. He was always so proud for his adventures.

"Are you ready to do it again?" Luxord asked, winking.

"With you?" Marluxia laughed, "Sorry, I'm not into guys at all. You should ask Roxas"

"Hey!" Roxas shouted, forgetting his emo-pose, "Fuck you!"

"I already told you, I'm not into guys" Marluxia smiled sweetly, "You're in denial, poor thing"

"Luxord meant that he's having a party this Saturday. A big one" Axel interrupted.

"My folks are gone for some stupid work trip" Luxord said, "I want everyone there, so you come, right? Much drinking and chicks"

"Then I'll be there" Marluxia reported.

Luxord sighed, "Yes, Marly, I'll make sure that my parents' bedroom is free for you all evening"

"So, where are you gonna get these girls?" Roxas asked, making sure that Marluxia could hear him.

"Well, Larxene is getting all her friends and their friends…"

"So Larxene will be there too" I smirked, "That means that you, Axel, must go"

Axel showed me his middle finger and then changed the subject, "Did you know that there's going to be a new student today?"
