I stared at the ceiling watching the fan move in slow steady circles. Thoughts rushed through my head, swirling in a torrent of emotions. Slowly I rolled over on the bed and looked at Roxas. He was asleep next to me, breathing softly.
I closed my eyes, trying to sleep. But every time I did, I would see my own death staring me in the face.
I sat up and moved away from my brother to sit on the edge of the bed. Holding my head, I stared at the floor, trying to get my mind to calm down and stop wandering. Nothing seemed to work though and I ended up just getting up to go to the bathroom.
Roxas's bathroom was more ordered than mine, nice and neat with everything in it's place. It even smelled good. I unzipped my pants and proceeded to relieve myself, and once again my mind wandered.
Let's see, I had a major school assignment due tomorrow. I needed to turn in a report on Ulysses S. Grant…
Crap, I didn't do it.
I sighed and zipped up my pants. That would definitely drop my grade down quite a bit. I counted on my fingers to see how many assignments missed that made.
6
This month.
Crap.
I washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom. The house was quiet. Our parents were out and we were here alone. It was the middle of the night, so naturally there was no noise except the occasional rush of a car going by.
I walked over to the couch and sat down, staring around in the quiet. It was dark, and my senses seemed 3 times as sharp as normal. I breathed in a deep breath and calmed down, just enjoying the quiet.
Suddenly a noise made me turn around. Roxas stood behind me, a worried look on his face. "You ok Sora?" he asked.
"Fine" I said, leaning back into the couch. I half-closed my eyes and stared at the blank TV.
"…Are you thinking about what happened earlier?" he asked. I nodded and didn't say anything. He knew.
"I see…" he looked at the floor and then back at me. "Sora, I-"
"Forget it" I said. I wouldn't look at him, I just tried to block him out. "I'm going to sleep out here tonight Roxas, you should get some sleep."
I heard a slight sigh from him, then felt him hugging me from over the couch. "I know you'll be ok. You can't die, I won't let you."
A tear dripped off of his cheek, then he let me go and shut the door to his room.
I stared at the ceiling again and began to silently cry myself to sleep.
------------------------------
Morning was better, much better. I got up without even thinking about the incident and walked into my room to get dressed. My neck was cramped from sleeping on the couch, but I ignored it as I rummaged through my closet for something to wear. Eventually I just pulled out a t-shirt and jeans.
While I was pulling my t-shirt over my head Roxas walked into my room. I finished pulling my t-shirt down and looked at him questioningly. "What are you doing in my room?" I asked him.
Roxas ignored me and started to look through the drawers of my dresser. When I asked him the question again he just grunted and ignored me again.
Finally I threw a pillow at him. That got his attention, he looked up from what he was doing and stared at me groggily.
"Underwear." he said.
"Get your own." I replied as I tried to push him out of the room. He only grunted again as I shoved him out and closed the door behind him. Roxas was not a morning person, he always acted like a zombie or something. You couldn't even get the boy to talk in complete sentences until it was at least noon.
Sighing, I turned back to scan my room. Not seeing anything I could forget, I hefted my backpack over my shoulder and went downstairs for breakfast.
Roxas wasn't there yet, obviously. He was probably still in his room, searching for a clean pair of underwear. I shook my head at the thought and deposited my backpack near the front door. I moved into the kitchen and rummaged through the fridge until I found an orange and the milk. As I turned away from the fridge I closed the door with my foot and grabbed a glass off the counter.
Roxas walked in as I was pouring myself a glass of milk. "Hey Roxy, want some milk?" I asked. He just grunted. I took that s an affirmative and poured him a glass as well.
I was just about to give the glass to my brother when there was a knock at the door. A second later Axel walked in, his spiky red hair brushing against the top of the door.
"Hey Axel." Roxas's face lit up at the sight of his friend. He actually said a whole sentence.
"Oh sure talk to him." I growled at my brother, but he ignored me again as he got up and bounced over to Axel.
"Do you have it?" he asked. Roxas's little fingers were running over each other in anticipation as Axel reached into his backpack and pulled out a small box.
"That will be $30 bucks." Axel replied, holding the box hostage until my brother pulled out his wallet. Roxas didn't even bother to pull out the money, he just threw his wallet at Axel as he snatched the box away.
"Finally!!!" my brother replied. I snuck over behind him and pulled the box from his fingers, causing him to groan and try to attack me.
"What's this?" I asked, examining the box. Roxas tried to grab it back from me but I held him off by turning my back to him. I opened the box carefully and examined the contents. Inside was a Spyro the Dragon video game. "Spyro the Dragon?" I asked. "You have got to be kidding me. You could have gotten this for less at Wal-Mart."
Roxas snatched the box away from me as if it were a precious treasure. "It's not Spyro moron. That's just there so mom doesn't see what it really Is."
"Let me guess…porn?" I asked jokingly. I hadn't meant it, but when my brother froze and heat rushed into his cheeks my smile fell. "You have got to be kidding me….it isn't is it?"
"It is." Axel replied. "It's not the first thing he's bought off me either."
"So that's why you never let me borrow your games." I growled. "Maybe I should tell mom about this?…."
"No no!!!" Roxas replied, grabbing onto my shoulder. "Please don't tell her!"
"Hmm…..I don't know…"
"Please???"
"Alright, but only if I can watch…"
The color drained out of Roxas's face and he pulled back. He was clearly reluctant. "I dunno.." he said.
"Oh come on, I'm 16, it's not gonna kill me." I replied.
"This might," Axel smirked. "come on Sora stop teasing him."
"Whatever." I replied. Roxas looked relieved that I had given up, and he flashed Axel a smile.
"Thanks Axel."
The clock chimed and I looked up. "Shit, Roxas, move it. It's 6:00."
"Already?" My brother jumped and grabbed a piece of bread off the counter before bolting out the door. Axel wasn't far behind him. I actually took a little more time and drank my glass of milk before grabbing my orange and following them.
We had to run to get to the bus stop on time. Roxas and Axel were already a ways ahead of me, so I sped up to try to catch them. I got about halfway to the bus when a sudden twinge in my chest made me stumble.
Thump-Thump
My heart was acting up again, triggered by the exertion of running. I gasped and gritted my teeth. It hurt, but it wasn't a major attack, just a twinge. I slowed my pace and made it to the bus without another pain. But it had served it's warning.
"Hurry it up next time Sora, you're late." the bus driver said. I just nodded and made my way down the aisle to plop down next to Roxas. I laid my head back against the seat and took a deep breath, causing my brother too look at me nervously.
"Again?" He asked. I nodded and touched my chest with my hand. It was an unconscious gesture I had, and sometimes when I did it I could feel the skin moving under my fingers as my heart beat. This was one of those times.
"Just a spasm." I replied. "Don't worry about it."
Roxas gave me a skeptical look before turning back to Axel in the seat in front of us. They continued whatever conversation they were having and I just closed my eyes and tried to calm my heart down.
Today was not starting out very good.
