Recap:

"Where the hell did you get those?!"

"I fell down the stairs. Why does it matter to you?" Hayner had his back to him so he couldn't see his face.

"I don't think you got that from just falling down the stairs"

Hayner was about to make a comeback but he could hear someone calling call Seifer, taking the opportunity to make a run for it.

Seifer was looked over to see his friends calling him but the moment he looked back Hayner was gone. He was slightly worried. Seeing how dark the bruises were he knew he couldn't have done it however he had nothing to do with it so he let it go for now.

Hayner slowed down as he reached the usual spot. He walked in, seeing everyone already there and talking. Olette was trying to talk the boys into doing their homework again, while Pence was munching on a bag of chips. Roxas was walking up to him and took Hayner by the arm, dragging him out into an ally.

"Hey do you think you could take my cousin on a tour? He will be moving in next weekend I want to make sure that he won't get lost. He can be very clumsy but he means well." Roxas asked.

"Sure but you have to buy me ice cream for the whole week." Hayner said with a grin.

"Fine but I'm gonna laugh at you when you get fat." Roxas grin back at him.

Hayner slaps him on the arm heading to the store to get the ice cream he was promised.


Throughout the week Hayner has been avoiding Seifer so he wouldn't get bombarded with questions. Now he is giving Roxas' cousin, Sora, a tour of the town and getting to know him. Sora is a really interesting guy and easy to talk to.

"So where did you live before came here?" Hayner asked.

"I lived on Destiny Island."

"Really, I heard that's a nice place to live. Why move?" Hayner has always heard only good things from Destiny Island.

"My parents had to relocate for their job but I do miss it." Sora said looking a bit down.

"Are you dating anyone?"

"Yea a guy named Riku." As we went on with our conversation out of the corner of Hanyer's eye he could see Seifer glaring. Hayner thinking that he was glaring at him began to glare back at him but he noticed that it wasn't him he was glaring at but the person next to him.

Seifer hated the fact that this new kid could get Hayner to spill his guts but he could get within a 5 mile radius of him without him running away. It pissed him off so badly. An image of Hayner falling and seeing the bruises on his arm and hip ran though his mind. 'How did he get those marks?' he though.

Hayner was curious as to why Seifer was glaring at Sora. He is a really nice guy and doesn't even know him. "Hey do you want to go eat something to eat?" Hayner could hear Sora stomach growling.

"Yea." He said with laughing it off. Hayner began to laugh with him and they walked to a diner.

Once they finished eating they went their separate ways to go home. On Hayner's way home he could tell that someone was following him. He turned to look but he couldn't see anyone, he started to walk a bit faster getting a little worried about who was following him. He made it home taking notice that his father was home. Right as he walked in, he ducked knowing that something would be thrown at him.

"Where the hell have you been?!" His father shouted.

"I was helping my friend out with something." Hayner replied.

Right as Hayner walked around the corner a fist connected with his stomach. Hayner fell over giving his father and opportunity to start kicking after a bit his dad walking away father into the kitchen then he saw his dad with a knife. He went to run for the door but his father was too quick and got his upper leg. He staggered and kicked his dad with his good leg and made a break for it but once again his father was quicker and got another slash on his arm this time.

Hayner ran out into the street hearing him saying "She left cause of you!" while running he fell a few time pulling his phone out of his pocket to call us Roxas to see if is ok to spend the night there. Hayner thought he felt something fall nonetheless kept on running not sure if his father was chasing him or not.

As soon as he made it to Roxas' house he was asked why he called them so late. The only thing that he could come up with and not completely give away what is happening at him house was "No one was home and I got lonely." He said as he tried to hide his arm behind his back so Roxas wouldn't see the blood that was spilling out of the wound he just received.

The first thing said once in the house was "Can I use for shower?" Hayner asked hoping that he might be able to stop the bleeding and maybe even wrap it if they had the equipment for it.

"Sure just don't take too long." Roxas said as he made his way up the stairs.

Hayner made his way to the bathroom looking at the damage that was done. Five bruises were already forming and the bleeding in the cuts were almost about to stop. Hayner looked in the cabinets to see if they had anything to clean it and wrap it up. Lucky for him they did, after his shower he cleaned it and wrapped it.

Roxas was sitting on his bed giggling at his phone texting someone. Already knowing who it is, he sat next to him looking over his shoulder to read the text.

"So does Sora know about Axel?" Hayner asked. He knew his best friend was gay along time ago. Roxas knew that Hayner was gay too so they never judged each other.

"Yea I told him a while ago." He replied without looking at Hayner.

"Well I'm tired as fuck walking around town, showing your cousin the area. I'm just going to t go to sleep now." Hayner said while yawning.

"Night Hayner" Roxas said as he put his phone down to join me in the bed. If it had been anyone other than Roxas I wouldn't have slept in the same bed as them however we have been thought so much that we don't really care.


Seifer was walking around in the middle of the night hoping it would help clear him mind. His mind always goes back to Hayner, trying to find out what is up with him. In the middle of his walk he discovered a wallet on the ground and picks it up. He opens it and noticed a picture of Hayner and what looks to be some woman.

The woman looked like Hayner's cousin or older sister. They had the same hair color, eye color, and nose. Taking a closer look at the picture Seifer could see Hayner give a genuine smile that suited him.

Walking into him his one room apartment he sat on the couch. He was able to talk his parents into letting him live alone with all the family drama they have. Where he lived was a simple one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a small kitchen and living room.

He looked over the picture again to see Hayner's smile. Even with his friends he has never seen him smile like this before. "Who is she?" Seifer said as he put the picture back into the wallet then setting it on the coffee table in front of him as he walks to his room to go to bed.


Hayner woke up with a start remembering everything that happened last night. He looked around recalling what happened and where he was. Going to grab the picture from his wallet he looked at the holes and blood on his pants knowing he would have to throw them out. He began to worry, nothing being able to find his wallet. He then remember while he was on the run from his father he thought he dropped something. Getting even more mad at himself for the fact that he didn't go back to see if he really did drop something.

Hoping if he leaves early enough that he will be able to find it before someone else does. Taking of Roxas' pants hoping he wouldn't mind, since the pants he came there with had a huge hole in them from where his father had cut him along with the giant blood stain that it caused. He put on his shirt feeling lucky that there was no hole or a lot of blood on it.

Hayner left Roxas a note saying that he had to do something he had to take care of. Backtracking to all the streets he went down, he found nothing. 'That was the only picture I had of her' Hayner thought to himself. He felt his eyes let a tear fall, walking with no real reason he realized that he was in the sandlot. Taking a set on the bench he stared off into space thinking about everything. Not registering in his mind that Seifer was standing right in front of Hayner waving his hands trying to bring him back. "HAYNER!" Seifer said, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"We need to talk." Seifer said with a serious face.
