Disclamer: I don't own Alex, Kairi or Saix!
School sucks. I'm an average 18 year old, what else do you expect? I've been attending Radiant Garden High for as long as I can remember. I go here with my 12 year old sister, Kairi. This school holds grades 6-12. It's my last year of school here and I'm happier than a pig in mud. And that's pretty happy. I got my driver's license a month ago and that is really the only thing besides my friends that keeps me sane. I just can't keep my thoughts strait. With my parents fighting, my brother leaving for university and becoming a father at such a young age...it's hard.
Reno didn't think he'd ever have to go through this. Him and his girlfriend, Tifa, went to a party a few weekends ago and well...got drunk and had sex. Unprotected sex. She didn't see it coming either. Tifa got really upset and Reno got mad at himself for it and almost committed suicide! I couldn't get over it. Kairi, me, mom and dad have been mad at each other for about a month or 2 now? Oh, I don't know but it's been a long time since I've seen anyone smile in my house.
I looked around the class room, wondering where everyone went. I didn't hear the bell ring. I slowly got up out of my desk and walked through the isle of empty chairs, book bag on my back. I got to the door when I heard harsh breathing. I looked out only to see 2 teenagers making out on the lockers. I just rolled my eyes and walked in the opposite direction. I headed for the door to the outside of the school and into the parking lot. It was there that my black mustang was sitting, collecting dust on the leather interior. It was the first day of April and I don't know if I can handle much more of this school. I hop into the driver's side of the car, started the engine and drove away.
When I got home, Kairi was nowhere to be seen and I was welcomed home by mom and dad yelling. I just walked in, shut the door and ran up to my room. I set my bag down on my bed when I got in there and sat to my computer desk. I stretched and spun around on my chair. That resulted with me hitting the corner of the desk and knocking over a picture. I quickly caught it in my hand before it could hit the floor. I sighed in relief. I turned the picture over in my hands. I noticed tears coming to my eyes as visions burned in the back of my mind. It was...him.
In the picture, Saix and me standing on the sidewalk in sunset, holding hands and laughing. We were both so happy. Nothing could stop us back then...but now...everything hates me. I bent over, holding my head in my hands; still tightly gripping the frame in one of them. Then I heard a knock on my door from above the yelling downstairs and my heavy breathing. I quickly rubbed my eyes, making them puffy and pink. I got up and walked over to the door, opened it and was quickly grabbed around my waist. It was Kairi. She was crying into my stomach and I caressed her hair.
"Axel...wh-when is it going t-to stop?" She asked. Her voice was muffled behind sobs and my shirt. I bent down to her level and hugged her tightly.
"Hopefully soon..." I whispered into her ear. I could feel the tears coming back again and they burned the edges of my eyes. I just let them flow. Frankly, I wanted to go down there and slap them both in the face. I just hated to see our family like this. I just wish Reno and Tifa were here...that's really the only time they DON'T jump down each other's throats. I picked Kairi up and took her over to my bed. We both lay down and I stroked her hair until she stopped crying. We both lay here, wrapped up in each other's arms, slowly forgetting the world ever existed. I could slowly feel my eyes closing and her crying fading. We both ended up falling asleep in my room.
So? Review plz! Oh! And from now on, I had to change the names of the chapters! I'll just tell you guys what POV is whos :P
