Forgotten: You Don't Remember at All? (Xion POV)
I was really nervous about where Roxas was taking me. It's not like I thought he was going to do something bad, but it was about something else. I know almost no one at this school remembers about it, but I do. And I don't want it to happen again. I just got back here, and I'm not going to be sent away like that again. I clenched my fists as we walked down the familiar hallway. Yup. We were going there. The Organization's room.
Roxas opened the door and I cautiously went in. No one else was there. I sighed with relief. "Thank goodness. They aren't in here." I mumbled. I did not want to face Xemnas or Saix right now. "They?" Roxas looked at me with curiosity. "Oh nothing!" I quickly said and waved my hand. He went to the little fridge in the corner of the room. "Well, you can go ahead and have a seat. Want anything?" I sat down on one of the couches. "Sea salt ice cream, please." I said with a smile. Roxas got two ice creams and handed one to me. "I didn't know you like this. I thought only people from Twilight Town ate sea salt ice cream." I didn't answer. I was too busy eating my delicious frozen treat. The wonderful taste of the salty ice cream always calmed me. In a few seconds, only the stick was left. "Gosh, how I missed this." I smiled and looked at my ice cream stick, thinking about the good old days where me, Roxas, and Axel used to hang out by the Tower and eat these ice creams. Then I turned to Roxas, saddened by the answer I knew he was going to give me. "So you really don't remember? The missions, the treats, the fight?" I could see it in his eyes. He had no idea. "Um.. No. Have we met before?" I couldn't bear it. My best friend couldn't remember me. At all. I dashed out of the room, tears flowing down my face. I could faintly hear him shout, "Hey! Wait!" But I kept running. I turned the corner and ran into one of the empty rooms. I slammed the door and leaned against it, crying. I can't believe that after all we went through, he forgot me. He was my best friend. He introduced me to Axel and Demyx and Zexion. He helped me when I couldn't summon my keyblade. He's special to me. I can't accept that he forgot me. It isn't fair! I know it's part of a spell, but I don't care! He has to remember me, somehow! I was still sobbing when I heard footsteps near the door. I quickly summoned my keyblade as I saw the doorknob turn. As fast as I could, I swung my keyblade at the intruder, my eyes shut tightly. I heard a familiar grunt and immediately opened my eyes.
I stared in shock as Roxas crumpled to the floor and lay there, unconscious. Then I freaked out. "Oh my gosh! What have I done? Shoot! How could I? Oh man!" I shouted to myself. How could I not have thought that someone might've heard me sob and try to come in? And now Roxas was lying there, unconscious, with a big bump on his head. I sighed and tried to pick him up. Man, this guy really needs to cut back on the sea salt ice cream. After a whole lot of grunting and careful lifting, I finally managed to get him onto my back. I meticulously and slowly carried him back to the organization's room. It was still empty. I set him on one of the couches and started to leave.
"Hey! What are you doing in here?" Nuts. Axel looked at me, waiting for an answer. Demyx was right next to him, blocking he door. "Umm... I just found him passed out in the hall... And uhh ... Carried him here.." Axel narrowed his eyes as if he didn't believe me. I started to panic. "Really! I did! He was just lying there and-" "I never said I didn't believe you." Axel interrupted. Then he stepped closer to me. "Who are you?" I stepped back. The look in his emerald eyes were frightening. "I-I'm Xion. I'm new here. At the school." Demyx gasped. "You're the new student?" he asked and walked over with excitement. The door was wide open. Without a second thought, I summoned my keyblade and slashed at the surprised males. I didn't even wait for them to fall as I dashed out the door.
I ran to the parking lot where my cousins, Namine and Kairi, were waiting. Kairi saw me come over and said, exasperated, "Finally! Where have you be- Xion? Are you okay?" I felt something watery run down my face. I couldn't tell if it was tears or sweat. Namine, such a nice girl, wiped my eyes with a pure white handkerchief. "Th-thanks," I said shakily, "Today was just a little rough." Kairi patted my back. "It's okay. Let's go home, alright?" I sniffled and smiled as they lead me to the car.
I quickly finished my homework and got online. Ever since Kairi made me an account, I've been stuck onto it like white on rice. I logged in and saw the red notifier. I clicked it and it took me to Roxas's reply to my message. It read, "?"
With a sigh, I typed, "Just forget about it." and started exploring the site, trying not to think about Roxas and how he forgot about me. After about an hour, I saw another red notification. Clicking on it, it took me to a new message:
"Why did you run away? What did you mean when you said I didn't remember you? Did I used to know you before?"
"Of course you did! You were my best friend! How could you forget me!" I shouted at the laptop. I felt tears forming in my eyes. "How could you..." I said quietly. I was about to reply when I saw some sort of chat window pop onto the screen. I guess this website has a chat thing. The name read DualBlade. It was Roxas.
DualBlade: Hi!
SilentShell: ...hello...
DualBlade: are you okay? you ran outta that room pretty fast
SilentShell: im fine. just sad I guess.
DualBlade: y r u sad? is it cause I dont remember u?
SilentShell: *nods*
DualBlade: why dont I remember u?
SilentShell: well its a long story.
DualBlade: I got time
SilentShell: have u finished ur hw? :P
DualBlade: ...maybe? ._.
SilentShell: oh come on. I know u enough 2 know u dont do ur hw until the last min :o
DualBlade: *crosses arms* hmph *starts doing hw* happy now? :(
SilentShell: xD yup. I'll tell u bout it tmrrw k?
DualBlade: : fine
SilentShell: :D
I laughed. Who knew chatting was this fun? And I'm going to tell Roxas tomorrow, so maybe he'd remember. Hopefully, nothing bad's gonna happen... I shivered, thinking about what would happen if Xemnas or Saix found me at school. Did they forget me, too? Or is my luck so bad that they just happened to not be the ones who were affected by the spell? I hope it wasn't the latter. That would really ruin my day. I sighed and logged off after saying a quick bye to Roxas. "Who was that?" said a girl's voice over my shoulder. I jumped and shouted a little, surprised by her. I quickly turned around in my chair and sent a light glare to a set of sea blue eyes. I relaxed when I saw Namine giggle back at my reaction. "Jeez, Nami! Don't scare me like that!" I said and playfully shoved her. "I wouldn't have, but you looked so focused. I couldn't help it!" she giggled again and I gave her a playful glare. "So, who was that you were talking to? A cute boy maybe?" she added teasingly. I blushed and quickly looked down. "H-he's just a friend. N-nothing more!" I stuttered and then mentally slapped myself. Great! Now she's going to get the wrong idea! "Oh is he? Only a friend? It didn't sound like that when you yelled. Who is this boy?" Kairi stated smugly and entered my room. Man, I forgot her ninja-like skills. "He is only a friend! Seriously! And I'm not gonna tell you!" I shouted at both of them. They just gave each other a look and smiled at me. "Fine, don't tell us. But we'll find out eventually." They left, giggling at my outburst. I sighed. Kairi and Nami. Why must they be so... So girly? Me? Like Roxas? They've got to be kidding me. I quickly shut off my laptop and went to bed, mumbling about my two girly cousins.
In my dream, I was reliving the past. It was all so real: the places, the fight, the pain- everything. I fought against Roxas, controlled by Xemnas and his stupid machine things. The machines changed my armor, making me stronger, but at the same time, made me hurt Roxas more... The last part was the clearest of all. It felt as if time slowed as I watched Roxas ready his keyblade and jump. I could feel the metallic weapon slice through my battered armor and into my skin.
I shot up in bed, sweat running down my face. It was only a dream, a dream... A nightmare. "It's okay, Xion," I told myself, "It wasn't real. It's only a dream." I looked at my phone clock. 3am. I flopped back onto my bed and tried to fall asleep. After what felt like an hour of tossing and turning, I fell into a blissful, dreamless sleep.
By the time the bell rang, the classroom was empty of almost everyone except for me and Roxas. Even the teacher found somewhere else to be. I waited as Roxas put all of his stuff in his backpack. When he finished, I started to leave, but he held me back. "Tell me what happened." he requested. "How did I forget you?" I sighed, but started to tell him. About me, about our friendship, and about that fight.
Another part completed. This chapter may be short, but hopefully the next chapter will make up for it.
Thanks for reading!
