Chapter 4:
Sora's POV:
"You seem to be a bit happier than usual today! What's got you in such a good mood?" I glared at Namine. Why was she so fucking annoying?
"I'm not happy, I'm just not miserable. Although, I'm pretty sure you just changed that." Namine scowled and crossed her arms across her enormous chest. I hadn't liked that in a while.
"Well, because I thought your mood had improved, I thought I was going to invite you to my party, but now that your being icky again I don't think I will." Suddenly the idea of a party sounded so good, I couldn't take it. It had been two months since I started tutoring Riku, and I was already done. He didn't come to school at all this week, and I hadn't seen him all day today. I didn't have the guts to ask him if he wanted to hang out. He was probably just like all my other "friends" putting me into a staryotype and criticizing me for my mood swings. He probably thought I was a total and complete ass hat. But I guess there wasn't anything I could do about that. The reason I wanted to go to this party was because I was incredibly lonely. There was no way in hell I would admit that to any one, and nor would I show my feeling of emptiness, but I had to see people. Roxas had taken to having sleepovers at Axel's house, so I was almost always alone.
"If I behave can I still go?" I asked under my breath. Namine's eyes widened.
"What?" I sighed.
"If I'm nice….can I go?" Namine made a face that looked like a definite no. She huffed and began to shake her head. My heart tumbled to the depths of my chest, and I could tell my steely façade was broken and I had let my emotion show when my face fell and I let my self frown in true displeasure.
"Sora?" I looked away from her. I knew that I would be alone. It was just something I was going to have to live with.
"Sora, you can come." My ears perked up, but I didn't move my head. Her voice sounded hesitant.
"On one condition." I frowned. There was always a catch.
"You have to go with Riku and you have to be nice at lunch today and to your brother." I broke my gaze from the window.
"That's more than one condition, A. and B, Roxas is a total pot head and hard to be nice to, and C, Riku hates me so what would be the point of taking him to a party? And he's straight and would most deffinetly hate me more if he found out I was gay." Namine shook her head smiling.
"A, I don't care that it's more than one condition, B, it's a condition so deal, and C, Riku doesn't hate you! And he isn't homophobic. In fact, It's quite the opposite. He's Bi, so you still have a chance you little lover boy you!" she said as she squeezed my cheek. I blushed like crazy and shook her off.
"Namine! Stop it, stop it! Okay! I'll do it. Are you sure I can come?" Namine scoffed.
"As sure as the fact that Axel is about as straight as a circle!" I smiled, and Namine returned the gesture. It felt good. Maybe this whole "nice" thing wouldn't be so bad. Maybe it was okay now…to show what I felt.
"It's good to see you smiling again, Sora. What ever happened?" I frowned. This wasn't the time, the place, or the anything to disscuss that. At all.
"Nothing happened. I just decided to become a jackass one day." Namine growled.
"Watch your mouth buddy boy." I shrugged as the bell wrang and we headed to lunch.
"Namine, what in the jesus fuck is he doing here?" I cringed. I didn't know someone so small could hold so much hatred towards their twin brother. Namine put an arm around me protectively.
"Be nice, Roxas. He's trying to be nice to you. And to everyone else, for a change. Don't ruin it." Roxas scowled, but kept quite. I took a hesitant seat in between Xion and Namine, knowing that at least they wouldn't try to claw my eyes out.
"Riku! Come over here!"Namine called. I cleared my throat. It was suddenly very dry. Riku came over, and I realized whay he hadn't been in school. Both of his arms bandaged up, and he had stitches across his forehead. He had tried to cover them up with his bangs, but they still peeked through. My heart clamped up. Where was he getting beat up so badly on such a regular basis? Once he had come into school with a home-made cast on his wrist and passed it off as a biking accident, even though I knew he didn't own one. He'd told me.
"Oh. Hey Sora." My lips were very dry and my heart fluttered in my chest.
"Um…hi Riku." I whispered. Namine elbowed me in the side.
"Ouch! Oh, um… you know how Namine is having a party tonight?" Riku nodded, absent mindedly moving his salad around on his plate with his fork.
"Would you um…want togowithmetoherparty?" I said it as fast as I could, and tried my very best to look away so he couldn't see the sudden and rare speckle of red across my cheeks. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Riku smile under his long mess of bangs.
"Sure, I'd love to go with you." He said softly. And then he took a noisy bite of salad. Roxas gave me a strange look, like he was trying to read my mind.
"Hey Rox?" roxas grunted in reply.
"I'm sorry for being an asswhole-" Namine elbowed me again "Ow! Um….meany head to you these past couple…well for a long time." Roxas stared, gaping at me.
"Y-you apologized…" he whispered, surprised. I scowled at him, copying his ever-preseant look at me.
"Don't expect it to happen too often, bro. this is a once-in-a-life time occasion, got it?" Roxas smiled.
"Yeah, I got it."
The normal lunchtime conversation started, and I listened this time instead of shoving everyone out of my consciousness. It was surprisingly nice. I even joined in at one point. After lunch, Namine shook my hand.
"You have passed the good-guy test. I expect you to keep it up for at least a little while, if you could." I smiled.
"I think I can handle that." Namine smiled.
"See ya at the party." I grinned. A party. I couldn't remember the last time I had been to one of those.
"See ya."
Roxas' POV:
"Axel." I murmured. Axel groaned.
"Hmmmm." I smiled.
"Please stop….we have a party to attend." Axel laughed and licked my neck.
"Is our presence mandatory?" I moaned with pleasure as he bit my jaw bone.
"Yes…" I whispered in complete ecstasy. Axel growled.
"Five more minutes." I giggled.
"I don't think we'll be able to stop if we continue…" Axel laughed.
"You're probably right. Alrighty. Let's get going."
We walked into Namine's house, and the party was already at full blast. Sora was no where in sight, but that was probably a good thing. I could smell weed, and I was suddenly craving the high in my veins. I leaned over to Axel and whispered to him, "I'm going to get high. And then I am going to fuck you so hard you wont be able to walk for a week." Axel smiled, his beautiful emerald eyes shining.
"I think I like the sound of that." And we headed into a smoke-filled room and I prepared myself for one of the best nights of my life.
Sora's POV:
I knocked on the door, but it didn't look like anybody was home. I checked the address again. Riku's house was in a bad neighborhood, and to make things worse, his house looked like it was abandoned years and years ago. There weren't any lights on and the windows were all boarded up. Just as I was about to knock again, the door opened a sliver and Riku slipped out of the house.
"He-" Riku covered my mouth with his hand and motioned for me to be quiet. I obeyed and kept quiet until Riku was safely in my car. There was a fresh, bleeding cut on his lip, and it looked like there was a cigarette burn on his neck.
"Riku, are you okay?" He didn't say anything for a while. He just stared out the window.
"My dad abuses me." He finally said. I stared at him. He had said it so frankly, without any emotion. It made sense. He was almost always coming into school with some kind of an injury.
"Do…you want me to tell someone?" Riku shook his head, and I noticed that his cheeks were shiny with tears. I pulled over my car and turned to face him.
"Riku, come here." Riku turned to me with question in his eyes, but my arms were around him in seconds and he didn't have time to be surprised. I held Riku close to me, rubbing circles on his back. Suddenly he began to shake and I felt something wet start to drip onto my shoulder.
"shhhh. It's okay. I'm here." I whispered as I rocked Riku. I stayed in the car and vowed to riku and to myself that I would never allow him to feel this pain again.
Riku's POV:
O no, I see, Singing, I never meant to cause you trouble, They spun a web for me,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
But here am I in my little bubble
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Although I never meant to do you harm.
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.
Sooooo. What did you think? Sorry if it's a bit cliffy, but im bored so another chapter will probably be up like…right after this. So..yeah. please R&R and let me know what you thought!
