"Capture the heart before you, and you could lace it with diamonds. Let it slip from your fingers, and you could find yourself covered in thorns."
Fatal Combination 1: Falling
There I stood on the old clock tower we loved so much. Hayner asked me to
meet him there after school; he was just getting ready to tell me what he
wanted to. "Hey Roxas…have you ever thought about just falling? Falling
and never hitting the ground?" I gave him a quizzical look, "You mean
flying?" He shook his head "No just falling and passing out before you hit the
ground. So it's like you never did." I got even more confused. "Hayner what
are you talking about?" He got up and stood on the edge facing you. "You
know you're my closest friend." I went into a slight panic state
"Hayner…what are you going to do?!?!" I got up but he extended his hand
telling you to not come any closer. "Promise not to cry for me. I'm just going
to let myself free." Then Hayner closed his eyes, smiled a peaceful smile, and
let himself fall of the ledge. I just sat there as your best friend took his own
life. When I heard a bone cracking crunch and screams saying "He killed
himself!" I stumbled off the roof to not be framed. I was ground level when I
looked at my closest friend Hayner. His head was cracked open and his body
was in an un-natural position. But he was smiling. He was still smiling!
Townsfolk looked at Hayner and then to me. The owner of the ice cream shop
was walking to me but I ran before they could get me. I ran and ran until I
was stopped by the police. "Son we need to take you in for questioning." The
first cop told me. I got into his small car and was driven off to the police
station. I was escorted into an interrogation room. "Hello Roxas I'm Gil
Grissom. I have some questions for you about your friend Hayner." I looked
around scared. This was bad…this was really bad. I thought to myself.
"Yeah." I replied when he asked some basic questions. "Did Hayner have any
enemies, was he a depression victim?" blah, blah, blah. Then another man
walked in introducing himself as Mr. Brass. He was much harsher than Mr.
Grissom. He started to ask me if I pushed him off the tower. That was the
cruelest question he could have asked. "NO!" I yelled at them both. Mr. Brass
wrote something down. He smiled, "What a bad temper you have there." I
got even madder. "He killed himself got it?! He kept talking about being free
at last, and falling without ever hitting the ground!" a tear made it's self in
my eye. Mr. Grissom gave you a sad look before informing me I would have
to go on trial. "I didn't kill Hayner?!" I yelled while walking out. "I didn't kill
Hayner…" I mumbled as I saw my mom who was crying. "How could you-"
"I didn't do it!" I cut her off.
"But the police say-"
"I don't care what they say I didn't kill Hayner!" I did it again as a certain
police officer stared at me. His hair was fire red which contrasted his green
eyes. He gave you a smile. "For what it's worth I think you're innocent." He
commented giving me a wink. I gave him a smile "Thanks." I said getting in
the car with my mom.
Wow today sucks I thought. First a line of muggings then a kid is being
accused of killing his best friend. For Christ's sake the kid was about to cry!
What makes them think he did it? I snapped out of my thoughts and I got in
the train and started on my way to home sweet home. The ghetto was my
home and I wasn't proud of it. All though I guess its bearable being that
Demyx and Zexion live in the two houses next to me. Finally the train
reached my stop and I got out loading my gun. You never know around here
what pot head might want to jump out and steal your shit. For the most part
it was more dangerous me being a cop and all, People wanting revenge for
their jailed brother or mother. Luckily no one wanted to mess with me today
and I got home safely. Demyx was in my kitchen making dinner and Zexion
was helping him. We decided that we would have keys to one another's
houses, in case of an emergency or if we just wanted to be with everyone else,
Most of the time they came to my house since I'm currently stealing cable
from my ass of a neighbor, Cacique. Yes I know a cop being ill-legal odd.
"Hey Axel, How was work?" Demyx piped up. Zexion looked over to you to
which is Zexy language for 'Yes how was your day?' My face twisted into a
bit of a sad look. "Well there was a string of mugging cases. But the worst a
boy was accused of pushing his closest friend off a building. He said he killed
himself but no one believes him, Poor kid." Demyx's face went into terrible
sadness "What? That's stupid!" he protested as Zexion agreed with Demyx. I
shrugged my shoulders "That's how it goes; his trial date is yet to be
determined yet." I landed on the couch and watched the news, they story
about the boy was on. "Local skater Roxas was accused of pushing his closest
friend Hayner off of the Clock Tower earlier today, cop say they are pretty sure Roxas
did it and have yet to make a trial date, More coverage at seven." A picture of Roxas
can up and Zexion sat in the chair next to you. I turned it off. He shook his
head in a disapproving way. "No child needs that kind of stress." Demyx
finished cooking and gave a plate of stir fry to Zexion and myself. "Thanks
Dem!" I was immediately you know what they say the way to a man's heart
is through their stomach. It's true, every word of it. I chowed down as Zexion
ate it with chopsticks. "Zex how the hell can you use those things?" I asked
trying to use the extra chopsticks on the table before I thought "Screw it." and
used the fork again. He looked over to me "Practice." Just then Demyx sat on
my legs and ate. I gave him a dude-what-do-you-think-your-doing look, as he
squished his butt between my calfs. He laughed and ate as my feet went
numb. I gave a long whine "My legs are numb. Get offffffffff." He got off and
took my dishes along with Zexion's. He thanked Demyx and I flipped the
news on again. "Now earlier on we had a story on local Roxas. At 3:13 a boy
known as Hayner fell off of the clock tower. Police belive the two boys were fighting
and Roxas gave Hayner a small push, causing him to fall off. All though what
happened is not determined. Locals say that Roxas is innocent but police say he is
guilty. Here is local Ollete to get her own thoughts out there" Ollete came on the
screen with brown hair and green eyes she was about 13. "Roxas didn't do that!
Hayner and Roxas are the closest of buddies!" A fat boy came up "Roxas isn't like
that, INNOCENT!" now some arguments on the other side, with Seifer, Rai, and
Fuu. "Roxas so totally did it. Guilty." "Y'know he so had a fight!" "Agreed!" Thanks
kids, reports in Roxas's trail date is in one week. God bless you son. I think your
innocent. We even have it on tape! We cut out the 'results' though." It showed the
tower and Roxas and Hayner on top. When Hayner fell off Roxas didn't even touch
him. Right after a unpleasant sound he scrambled off the tower. We will give you
viewers an update as soon as possible. Now stocks hav- I let a growl out. "Other
police men are so dumb. A video right there! Why is he going on trail?" I was
fuming. Cops work hard to make a good rep for themselves but there are just
some dumbass cops out there still! Just then I heard a gun shot. I took out my
gun and went outside where it was raining badly. The kid from the news,
Roxas, was running from a woman with a gun. She was shouting "You killed
my son you BASTARD!" Roxas tripped and the mother held the barrel to his
head. I ran out and grabbed her from behind aiming the gun away from
Roxas. It shot and hit Roxas's hand. Better than a shot through the head I
thought. "Zexion, Demyx get the kid!" I yelled and they ran out pulling him
into my house. I handcuffed her and sent one of my co-workers to get her.
Once she was gone I ran back into my house. I knelt down next to the shaking
kid. "You cold? I have some clothes you can wear…" I went upstairs and got
a wife beater shirt that shrunk in the wash, boxers, and some pants with a
belt. I walked out and showed him to the bathroom.
