This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know

'Hold On' by Good Charlotte

Sorry, I had to repost it. It cut the song and part of the skit at the bottom. I'm sorry for an inconvinces. To make up for it I'll post up chapter 3 early

Chapter 2

Ba-bump....

Ba-bump....What's that?

Ba-bump....Keep to

Ba-bump....the beat.

Ba-bump....The beat

Ba-bump....of my HEART!

I open my eyes. I find myself back at the Castle Gate. I place my hand over my left chest, sure enough I feel the familiar steady beat of my missing heart.

"My heart, but how? Didn't I fade away?"

I push myself up. I notice that I don't have on that black coat anymor

e. Instead I have on a blue t-shirt with a black crescent moon on the front. I have on a pair of khaki, cargo pants and also black and silver converses. I fiddle with the chain on the right side of my pants.

I smile, "I'm...I'm Dyem again... I EXIST!" I yell, my heart filled with joy.

My heart, my wonderful heart. I listen to the beat of my heart in peace. All my emotions are back and I'm so happy, all my memories are coming back too...

Wait, "These aren't happy memories."

Flashbacks of Dyem's life...my life flash through my mind. An abusive brother, a non-existant mom. A father who never believed in me, a murder. I break down on the ground and cry, how could he do that, why! I punch the ground, all the emotions coming back tenfold, stronger than I remember. My chest hurts as sobs course through my body.

"How could he kill me!" I yell out, tears in my eyes.

***

I hop off the bus, my eye blackened by another fight I got in. Wonder what dad will think?

"Heh, he'll probally give me another one to match it."

I walk down the alleyway, the quickest way to my house. My right hand rests on the switchblade in my khaki cargo pants, ready to attack any muggers. They ain't getting my munny today. I make it to my place without any problems. I kick the door open, not bothering to close it back up.

"I'll be in my fucking room!" I yell to particarly no one.

I storm up the stairs and run into my room. I throw my bookbag on the floor, don't even know why I bother, I never go to any of the classes. The only calss I go to is music class. I pick up my Sitar and lovingly stroke the strings. I smile, my mind at peace as the music comes out of the instrument. I play 'Such A Lonely Day' by System of A Down. I learned that song when mom left, the sad song fitting my mood perfectly

Such a lonely day
And its mine
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Should be banned
Its a day that I can't stand

The most lonelist day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day I'll never miss

Such a lonely day
And its mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And If you go,
I wanna go with you
And if you die,
I wanna die with you
Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
And its mine
Its a day I'm glad I survived

I stop as I hear a yell of anger, shit.

Mando's home, "Dumb! Where the hell is my money!"

I growl, I hate it when he calls me that.

"I ain't got your money. Dad took ours last night, you know that!" I tell my brother.

I hear a commotion come from his room down the hall, "Then where the hell is my 300 bucks! I hid it so dad wouldn't find it."

I groan, everybody knows where he hides his money, its in the floor boards. He's not smart enough to change his hiding place and leave a couple of dollars in the orginal spot, like I do.

"I keep telling you to change your hiding place."

My door flys open reveiling a medium size guy standing in the door. His black hair in a semi-mullet hangs over his brown eyes. He's at least 3 years older than me and I'm a senior at high school.

Mando walks in my direction, "How the hell you know where my hiding place is?"

I groan, here we go again, now he's going to fight me over stupid shit.

"Mando, just forget it."

I lay on my bed placing the Sitar behind it.

Mando growls, "No, I can't forget it. I need to pay off Vinceint or else I'm dead."

I glare at him, " I told you not to ask him for favors."

Mando seems reluctant about something but I ignore it, too agrivated to care.

Mando growls, "Shut up Dyem, if you would have helped me last week, I wouldn't have had to ask Vincient."

I sigh, "Look, I'm not helping you with your fights, I'm your damn little brother. You're supposed to help me!" I yell at him.

Mando looks at me, hiss eyes turning from worried to rage, "No you just did not back talk me, Dumb. Now you'll pay."

He jumps on top of me and starts punching me in the face. I yell in pain and anger. I try to get away but I'm pinned to the bed by his knees on my elbows. I can hardly think straight as he lands blow after blow. I pop my knee up and he falls to the floor, yelling in agony as he curls up in a ball.

I hop up off the bed," I hope Vincient kills you!" I yell at him and bound out the door.

Suddenly I hear a sound that sounds like thunder. I smell gunpowder as I fall to the floor. Fire rips through my heart as I lie on the ground. I'm unable to think, to breath, all I can hear is the beating of my dying heart.

Ba-ba...Bump

Bump.........Ba

Ba................Ba

***

I lie on the ground, my eyes dried out from all the crying. The moon shines down on me as I stare up at the sky, why Mando? Why the fuck did you shoot me? A dry sob forces its way through my body. I liked it better when I was a Nobody. No horrible memories, no outta control emotions and I was always happy. Weird, I always thought if I got my heart back that I wouldn't be able to control myself, or remember the Organization. However, I remember everything, I don't even think like Dyem. I sit up and rub my eyes, I guess its based on how you lost your heart.

"I'm not Dyem, I'm Demyx. I nothing like Dyem."

I stand up and straighten myself. I look at a puddle of water, I wonder.

I raise my hand above it, "Dance, water, dance."

The water floats above the ground as a little sphere. I smile, at least I can still do that. I let the water fall on the ground.

I look towards Hollow Bastion, " I guess I'll have to go there, sometime."

I begin walking towards the town Xemnas wanted destroyed. I laugh, it be funny if Sora was there. I look around at the area as I walk up the steps to the town. It looks different from when I last saw it. Come to think of it, it looks almost complete. How long was I gone? I run up into the bailey and look at the undamaged walls. I rub my hand against the cool stone, this had to have taken 3 years, if not more.

I run up the step and see the town, people walk safely around the town, enjoying life. I see families just enjoying each others presence. A twinge of pain goes through my heart, I wish had a caring family. I take one step towards the town and yelp in surprise. The town's defenses attack me, the light blue disks fly at me. I step back onto the steps and the attack stops.

"Well, I didn't expect that.", I sit on the steps lost in thought.

"Hey, you!" A voice yells behind me.

I turn around and spot Leon behind me, Gunblade raised. I jump back in fright, forgetting that I'm on stairs. I yell in agony as I tumble down the stairs. I grunt as I land on the landing and grab my chest and curl up, moaning and in pain.

Leon runs down after me, "Who are you!" He yells at me.

I grunt, can't he see I'm in pain!

"De....Demyx." I groan out.

Leon looks in surprise, "Impossible, Sora killed you during the battle of 1,000 Heartless. You faded away."

I groan and sit up, "Yeah, but somehow...I got my." I stand up shaking in pain, "Heart back."

Leon lowers his weapon, "You got your heart back?"

I nod my head, that's what I said idiot. I hope I don't have to keep repeating myself.

"If you have your heart back then why do you still use that name? Why not go by your original name?" Leon says

I groan and look away from him from him, not wanting him to see the tears, "Because, I'm not Dyem. I'm different now."

Leon puts away his weapon and motions towards the town, "Come on, lets get you something to eat. You're probally starving."

I nod, I'm not hungry but....I do want to see the town, "Thanks Leon."

I start to walk towards him but whince as my left leg touches the ground.

Leon notices this, "Aerith can fix that when we get to Merlin's house."

I grin and bear it as I make my way up the steps, Leon in front of me. I gulp as we arrive at the top of the stairs, Leon looks at me, " Well, come on."

He motions for me to follow. The memory of those blue disks attacking me stops me cold.

I shake my head, "Can't. Those blue things keep attacking me."

Leon raises an eyebrow, "They shouldn't attack you, you have a heart."

I groan, "Well, I use to be a Nobody, it must still think of me as one."

Leon ponders on this, "You might have a point there, Demyx. You stay here."

He runs down another set of stairs and heads into town. I sit back on the steps. I wonder what happened to Axel and all them. I'll ask Leon when he comes back.
