Chapter 4 Sick Day
I could hear murmurs coming from the middle of the room. God do they even know what time it is? I thought to myself while turned over to go back to sleep.
"shusssh! Hes waking up" that was definitely Marluxia's voice. oh my god shut up trying to sleep here I said from inside my head. Being to lazy to actually say it out loud.
"Oh my god Marly what are you doing?" and there goes Demyx with his hissing whisper. I could hear Marluxia tip toeing over to me.
"touch me and suffer the consequences" I threatened him.
"tch man, fine" I heard the couch give way as he sat down on it. I sighed and finally sat up in bed. I looked over to find that Axel and Demyx were playing some sort of racing game while Marluxia was just lounging on the couch. I scratched my head in confusion.
"what are they doing here so early in the morning?" I asked as I got up from my bed and started grabbing my stuff to head to the bathroom. I heard laughter from the other side of the bathroom door upon closing it to change my clothes. How is that funny? I asked myself. But shrugged it off as I began brushing my teeth.
As I came out I checked the time to see that it was way past school starting time. I could feel all the blood drain out of my face as I began to panic. I ran to the side of my room and started throwing the books I needed into my bag. Hearing laughter coming from all three of them I stopped and glared at them.
"how can you just sit there and laugh its 10:32" I asked furiously which made them laugh even harder. Axel had started crying from laughing so hard, Demyx fell over on to the floor and Marluxia face was starting to turn purple from lack of oxygen. I face palmed my self out of complete and utter confusion. The stress was already getting to me.
" what the fuck is so funny?" I exploded out of frustration. Demyx who had calmed down to where he was only giggling now started to explain.
"Marly over here has so connections with Mr. Izzard and got us out of going to classes today." he said through his fits of giggles. I looked to Marluxia who had finally got air back in his lungs and was now coughing instead of laughing.
"what does my chemistry teacher have to do with anything, including Marluxia?" I asked still not getting it.
"Mr. Izzard is also the school nurse. He says who gets to stay out sick. Don't ask me how Mar Mar has ties with him though." Axel said taking a glance and Marluxia. He was finally done with his coughing fit and his face had it regular color again.
"who cares what ties I have with him, the important thing is no classes today." he said with a grin. I sat back down on my bed grabbing the book I had started on yesterday. But after a couple minutes of trying to read it I gave up from the noise being made by the three and their racing game. I looked at the screen and found out Deymx was winning. I looked at him and he was smiling cheerfuly
Just like that the guilt was back again. I felt horrible. How could he still be cheerful and talk to me without hesitation or pain? He looked over at me in confusion but replaced it with a big grin before holding up the controller.
"wanna play?" he asked. I shook my head and turned back in my bed facing the wall.
" oh common I know you wanna" I could hear the smirk in his voice.
" I said no thanks" I grumbled out. The next thing I knew I was being dragged off my bed and across the floor towards the TV. I was so shocked that I didn't even realize I was in front of the TV until Axel started poking my head.
" hey you zoned out there?" he asked as I looked up at him. Demyx then put the wii remote in my hands. I handed it back to him shaking my head once again.
"geez don't be so stubborn we both know you want to play" he said once again putting the remote in my hands. I sighed
" I really don't want to, you just think I do for what ever reason" I sighed then tried to hand the controller over to Axel for a change. He wasn't willing to take it from me either.
"sorry but dem dems' right, all we ever do is see you read, why not play some games with us instead?" Axel said. I then turned and looked at Marluxia with hope.
"don't look at me I ain't going to help you"he said shooting down my hope.
"fine… but only one game and then I'm done" I grumbled. Demyx then grabbed a fourth controller and sat next to me on the floor.
"ready to lose?" he said playfully.
"yeah what ever" I sighed. I chose my loving character, dry bones, after noticing it was Mario Kart. Just as the time was rolling down at the starting line a knock came to the door. I watched in utter confusion as all three of them panicked. First starting with Marluxia who scrabbled for the controller turning it off then running to his bed and getting under his covers. All while Axel dove under Marluxia's bed and Deymx under my covers making it look as if they were piled up with nothing under them.
I felt stupid while staring at them for I hadn't moved besides my head turning to watch them. Another knock came to the door this time sounding irritated. I looked to Marluxia who just waved me to go get the door in a frantic way.
I ended up obliging his request and opening the door to who knows who. I ended up staring at an irritated looking girl with blonde antennae looking hair and piercing aqua colored eyes.
"may I help you?" I asked politely. She sucked the air into her mouth making a tch sound.
"move it short stuff" she said before pushing her way through me and the door. I closed the door then proceeded to glare at her.
"oh my god, hey girl" Marluxia greeted her sitting straight up in bed while doing so.
"hey baby." she replied giving me reason to believe they were going out. I sighed and went to sit on my bed cautious of a not so hiding anymore Demyx. Axel had come out from under Marluxia's bed too.
" hey larxy what you doing here I thought you had T.A. today" Demyx asked while sitting up on my bed.
" I do, I'm on one of my errands right now"she informed him.
"wow never thought of the almighty larx being a slacker." Axel teased which in return got him a smack on the head. Plus laughter from Marluxia and Demyx.
"actually I have business with you mar mar" she said turning round to face him again. "one when did you get a roommate and two why didn't you tell me as soon as you did?" she went on.
"the business is me having a roommate? Wow you really are a slacker just coming over here to -" he was interrupted by a smack on the head and sniggers from the other two in the room. I was getting really bored watching them so I began reading my book again.
"the business is this" she handed him what sounded of a piece of paper.
"oh here Zexion it's for you" I looked up to find it was an envelope. who would send me mail? I thought before getting up and taking it from his offered hand. I looked at it finding that the return address was from my mom. Weird was the only thing that came to mind upon this finding.
"oh wow the pipsqueak is your roommate?" I sighed and ignored the remark, giggles and snorts that went around the room.
"oh come on he's not…that short…" Axel tried to defend failing miserably from the giggles escaping his lungs.
"pssh your going to tell me that when I'm a girl? He's shorter than me now that's sad" she snorted. By this time the three of them were laughing and my rage was boiling under my skin. But again I ignored them this time tuning out the noise being made to read what my mom had sent me.
You are to come home immediately after school today. I will not have you spending Christmas without any supervisors there to make sure you don't make a mockery of yourself. I don't want my reputation and good name becoming tarnished with your stupidity.
That was all it said. No dear Zexion's or any amount of acknowledgements towards me. No good byes, loves or sincerely from your mother. All from just reading that made my heart plummeted into depression and I had this itching feeling of needing to cut.
The bed shifted as Demyx crawled closer to me to look over my shoulder.
"what's it say?" he whispered. I shivered from him being so close.
"I have to go home for winter break" I said while making some space in between us. He made a face and that's when I decided to try and apologize once more. I felt extra bad now seeing as I was rude to him more than once already. "hey I'm sorry about bef-"
"don't be it was my fault I shouldn't have been throwing stuff at you anyway" he interrupted his face showing ignominy. I opened my mouth to say something I have no idea what but something only to have my attention pulled away by a hand in my face.
"I 'm Larxene Taima" she greeted. I lightly shook her hand and as I was about to open my mouth to tell her mine she shut it quickly stating "I already know yours pipsqueak your Zexion Iluzie the kid everyone's talking bout. Especially because of your" she combed her hand through my hair. " hair and your bruise" lightly touching it while saying so. She then back up still not done going on about them, I was starting to feel the depression rise higher in me.
"so what happened? Some people say you were beaten up others say you were raped." she then waited patiently for a reply that was never going to come because I decided to ignore her by tuning her out and facing Demyx instead. Though I don't think it was any better seeing as his face now held worry especially in his teal eyes. I caught myself staring for a bit until Larxene had saved me from drowning in them.
" hey I'm talking to you" she said as she grabbed my shoulder and turned me to face her. I winced my body still not fully recovered from moms affection. Apparently Marluxia noticed it.
" hey leave him alone he's already hurting enough as it is from it so why put him though more?" he saved me. I gave him a look of gratitude as Larxene released me from her grip.
"hey so have you guys had lunch yet? If not they're going to serve in a couple minutes so we should all go together" she said.
"pssh your only offering so you can get out of your T.A. duties aren't you" Axel said matter-o-factly while laying back on Marluxia's bed.
"so? It's not like it's a class I have to pass. Just get your ass moving out the door already" she snapped at him heading for the door.
I was walking back to my dorm with Demyx ,oddly enough, to get ready to leave. We had already finished lunch and instead of wasting time there I decided to head back to get ready to leave later. Demyx had decided join for who knows what but I didn't mind the company. It was actually very nice.
"so when you leaving?" Demyx asked currently sitting on bed watching every move I made. I grabbed a couple random shirts and through them in my backpack that was sitting on the corner of the bed. I shrugged.
"I guess after I pack"I answered not knowing the answer myself.
"oh. So when you coming back?"another simple question to which I had no idea the answer was to it.
" I guess the day before school starts up again."I answered while now packing my tooth brush and other toiletries in the front pocket. I looked to Demyx who had became really quiet after the last question. He looked a little sad. I sat down on the bed taking a break from packing.
"what's wrong?" I asked softly in order to not interrupt his thoughts.
"nothing" he said shaking his head. "so… how you like the school so far?" changing the subject with a smile on his face, as if I wouldn't notice. I decided to pretend not to notice and go along with it as I looked around my side of the room making sure I got everything.
"fine, its not bad" I said. We sat in silence for a bit before I got up to finish my packing.
"hey so uh, over the break you wanna hang out or something? I mean if you can." I started thinking of what would happen and if I could or not. Let alone even if I wanted to. The answer came up as a no to me seeing as I don't think I would want to even if my mom let me.
"I don't think I can sorry." I finally closing my bag and throwing it over my shoulder. I turned to him and nodded my goodbye to him. All he did was smile.
Axel's POV
"hey what happened to short stuff while we were eating?" Larxene had asked Demyx upon entering Marly's and Zexion's shared room. I looked over to Demyx who was laying on Zexion's bed as he opened his mouth to answer her.
"he left a few minutes ago." he said sitting up with a grin.
"aww no way you would've thought he'd stay until a little later till he went" Marly said sitting down on the couch. I joined him followed by Larxene seeing as Demyx decided to stay on the bed. He did look a little tired so that was a perfect reason to stay put. Besides he could sleep there all he wanted. Especially since that bed was practically more his than Zexion seeing as he slept there all the time last year and the year before that.
It's a good thing Zexion's not here or who knows what mood he'd be in I thought upon seeing Demyx fast asleep a few minutes later.
Zexion's POV
Upon entering my house I knew something was wrong. First off my mother was nowhere to be found though her car was in the drive way. Secondly it was way to quiet almost enough to hear a pin drop. Thirdly it was way too dark in here.
Yes of coarse it was around twelve noon already but if you knew my mother you'd known she likes having all the blinds closed and the lights on by this time. The shades were closed but the lights weren't on. The only light coming in was from the front the door to which I had opened not to long ago.
I shrugged off the eerier feel that I was getting and walked in shutting the door behind me. I took of my shoes and made my way upstairs to my bedroom. must be my imagination I thought.
"please were your imagination" my inner bad voice proclaimed as I opened the door to my bedroom. Only to be caught off guard from a bag thrown over my head and yanked inside by ruff hands.
hi ummm penny for you thoughts? please? the review button is just right there!
