Roxas felt something crushing on his shoulder, which was the cause that woke him up from his slumber. He groggily turn to see that the culprit was none other than Sora.

'His chin is crushing me..' Roxas thought as he let out a yawn. He looked around and saw a window at the edge of the room that was covered by curtains. Small, little sunshine slipped into the room, identifying that it was, in fact, morning already. 'How come I didn't notice that window yesterday?' He continued thinking.

Roxas couldn't go back to sleep so he decided to get up, so he gently moved Sora to the pillows. As he set Sora down, he began to stirred causing Roxas to stay still. Much to Roxas' delight Sora didn't wake up.

The blonde carefully slid out of the bed, and quickly put his shoes on. Once finished Roxas headed to the door, he took a quick glance at Sora and smiled before leaving. Roxas needed to do some errands since he will only be at Riku's for a couple of days, so he needs to find a place of his own on the meantime. Roxas didn't want himself or his younger brother to be homeless.

'Then I need to find a job to work to get money,' Roxas was getting a slight headache for thinking how he was going to do it... Roxas was barely seventeen himself, he was still to young to work. Who would hired a kid? No one would take him seriously. Then there was school, Roxas hated going there. Nothing but fights and trouble. Tomorrow was Monday so he and Sora would have school but not for long...

As Roxas went to the living room to find his cell phone that he accidently forgotten about since yesterday. Once he located his phone he looked at the time revealing that it's seven in the morning, barely.

"What?!" Roxas accidently shouted out loud then quickly covered his mouth with his hand. He hoped he didn't wake anyone up, it's still too damn early. No wonder no one isn't awake yet. Roxas thought it was around ten o'clock, at least.

Roxas headed outside without making any noise, he needed to go look for a new place and look for a job... Roxas entered his car and started the ignition, but he didn't move the vehicle as he mind was powdering with thoughts and confusion.

He needed to talk to someone. Roxas picked up his phone and scrolled through his contacts and pause at his best friend's number, Axel. Sighing, Roxas decided to call him.

"Hello?" The voice on the other line answered, groggily. Axel was probably sleeping.

"Axel, it's me." Roxas replied.

Suddenly there was a loud noise on the other line as if something fell, "Roxas you bastard! I've been calling and texting you for days, and now you decide to call back!" Axel shouted through the phone, his voice laced with anger.

Roxas didn't know how to respond back so he remained quiet. He knows Axel have been calling him, but Roxas have been so busy with Sora that he didn't have time to talk with his friends. And now that Sora was dying made it harder for Roxas to leave him.

The blonde's train of thought was caught off as Axel kept calling him, "Roxas? You there?"

"Yeah. Sorry, everything has been epic and yesterday was the worst day of my life..." Roxas was stressing out.

He heard Axel mumbled something that Roxas didn't quite hear. "Where are you?" He asked.

"In my car." Roxas was glad that Axel wasn't angry with him.

"Pick me up at my place so we can talk." With that Axel hanged up.

Roxas looked at his cell phone, frowning. He felt bad that he has been distant with Axel but Roxas had other priorities now. Roxas hit the gear in drive and left.

Axel was pissed off, not that he was woken up by his slumber, but the fact that Roxas finally called him back. Four days later! Axel was worried sick about him, he knew Roxas wouldn't show his emotions which made Axel furious to no end.

Many questions started to flow into Axel's mind. Why Roxas was being distant? What he can do to make him happy? If Sora is feeling better? Suddenly, Axel heard a car honking outside his place. That was fast.

"Whoa? How long was I thinking?" Axel wondered as he quickly put his shoes on. He was already dressed since he passed out with the same clothes he had on last night.

Axel rushed outside, if he wasn't angry at Roxas he would have had a wild grin on his face. He entered the car in silence, hoping Roxas would give an explanation.

"Hey Axel." Roxas didn't spare a glance at Axel, he just started driving, still not knowing where he was going.

"That's it! 'Hey Axel!' I was worried about you! Me and Xion thought you disappear! What happened?!" Axel hissed, he didn't care if Roxas would shout back him.

Roxas halted the car, harshly, and glared darkly at Axel. "Look I have a lot of shit in my mind! I don't need to explain to you guys everything that goes on in my life! So back off!" Roxas fumed, he didn't like the way his best friend was talking to him like that.

Axel made a hurt expression before it change to anger. "So fucking sorry you have friends that care for you! You on the other hand, are an asshole for not even having the consideration of telling us, your best friends, what's happening?"

Silence followed after that comment, Roxas' eyes widened then he looked away, downcast.

"Stop. Just stop... I don't need this right now." Roxas returned to looking at the road and kept driving again. Deep down he was hurt that Axel told him such harsh words.

Couple of minutes passed by, but it felt like hours to Axel.

"I'm sorry. I got carried away." Axel apologize, guilt overwhelming him. As much as Axel was right he hated yelling at Roxas, he never wanted to hurt him. For as long as Axel can remember he has been in love with Roxas for a long time. Every since they befriended in middle school. All Axel wanted to do was be with Roxas, more than a best friend should. Though, he never had the courage of confessing in fear of being rejected or ruining there friendship.

"No. I'm sorry, you're right. I should have at least told you." Roxas sighed. The blonde had no idea of Axel's love for him. Roxas had no time for love, and never really thought about it. "How's Xion?"

"Peachy, if you count her being scared that something happened to you." Axel replied in a sarcastic tone, still grumpy with not having contact with Roxas the past few days. Roxas scowled and rolled his eyes in an annoying gesture.

Xion was the third best friend of both Axel and Roxas. She is a sweet, caring girl, but can be quite stubborn. Xion often acted as the mother hen in the group, hoping that her boys don't get in trouble. Xion befriended them in high school and the trio became inseparable since.

"Really? Are you going to give me attitude all morning?" Roxas inquired, glaring at Axel.

"Maybe." Axel smirked, sounding as if he was teasing. Both looked at each other before they burst out laughing.

Roxas really needed the laughter and was glad he called Axel.

Author's Note... Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! I updated again! Yeah sorry if this chapter sounds boring, but I wanted to show Roxas and Axel's friendship and how Roxas has a lot of problems dealing it on his own. I know it seems that the story is going slow, but chapters later on, I'm going to time skip. Like days or weeks. Don't worry it won't be rushed because I like how the story is flowing!

Now try to guess what Sora's illness is!? (You'll find out later! So in the mean time guess) And the people that guessed, you guys are close! I have say to one of you reviewers, you were really close! Dang!

Let me know what you think! And if any ideas please share or make suggestions! I sometimes take them into considerations!
