I spent the next 2 days at home. Mom wouldn't let me go school or anywhere else. She was so afraid that I would catch something else and have to go to the hospital again.
Today was finally the day that I would be able to go to school. For once in my teenage life I was happy that I was going to school.
"Roxas hurry up we're going to be late!" Sora shouted, banging on my door.
"I'm coming! I can't find my shoes!"
"They're in my room!"
"Why on earth are they there!?"
"I don't know! Just go get them and meet me downstairs!"
I rolled my eyes and made my way to Sora's room. I doubt I was going to find my shoes in his room. It was always a mess and it was impossible to find something. I dove into the pile of laundry and searched for my black converse. To my surprise I actually found them. I slipped them on and ran downstairs, being careful not to trip on the way down.
"You ready?" Sora asked, throwing my bag at me.
"Yeah. Let's go."
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Welcome back Mr. Hart," Vexen said as I entered the classroom.
I smiled at him and took my seat next to Axel, who looked as if he had just won the lottery. He nudged me and flicked a note onto my desk. Nothing had really changed. Axel was still a goof and was still not paying attention to the lesson.
I opened the note and smiled. There was nothing on it except for a huge smiley face. I rolled my eyes and flipped it over. I took out my books and actually paid attention to what Vexen was saying.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Roxie!" Axel shouted, tackling me as I entered the lunch room.
"Ack! Axel you're going to make me drop my food!" I shouted, nearly falling over.
"Sorry. I'm just so happy to see you."
"I know you are."
We headed over to our table. Sora and Riku were already there and they were, of course, making out. They really didn't care if someone saw them. I jumped when I felt Axel's arm sling around my waist and jerk me closer.
He smiled at me. Something was different. It seemed as if Axel was very happy and he wasn't afraid to touch me. Why? Not that I'm complaining but why would he make a drastic change like that all of a sudden?
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing. I'm just thinking."
"Of?"
"You!" Sora shouted, escaping the wrath of Riku's lips. I watched as Riku kissed my twins neck. Sora didn't seem phased by it at all. How? If Axel was doing that to me, not that he ever would, I would've been...aroused most likely.
"You thinking of me?" Axel asked with a smile, his eyes locking onto me.
"Kinda," I replied, opening the tin foil that was around my sandwich. He kept looking at me, as if I had something more to say, "What?"
"Nothing."
"You guys are so cute!" Sora said, a little TOO loud. I continued eating, the awkward silence hanging in the air like a knife above your head. Why was everyone so quiet? Did I miss something?
"What?" I asked, putting my tuna sandwich down.
"Look," Sora said, his eyes widening.
I turned around and stopped breathing for a second. I could feel my hearting quickening as I gazed that the pink haired teacher that had done so many horrible things to me. I felt as if my heart was going to explode. I felt like throwing up, like fainting. My body was shutting down; I couldn't even tell that I had fallen to the ground until I saw Axel's and my classmate's faces looking down at me.
"Roxas," Axel said. I could barely hear the words. It sounded as if I was deaf. I couldn't hear or feel anything. Axel had lifted me up but I didn't even know it. What was happening to me? Was I REALLY this afraid?
"Roxas are you ok?" Sora asked, cupping my face. My body was finally beginning to get some feeling. I was slowly returning to my original state and that's when I realized that I was crying hysterically. Without even knowing I was crying and screaming.
"Y-Yeah," I said, wiping my tears away. The crowd around me soon dissipated and I had returned to sitting next to, eventually on, Axel. Of course the red head looked extremely worried. He had never seen me act like that before. He most likely thought I was insane.
"You ok?" he asked
"Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry."
I had said those words at least fifty times throughout the day. Everyone I knew was in the lunch room when I had my little episode and they all asked me the same things. Are you ok? What happened? Will you be ok? Do you need a hug? The person who asked those questions the most was Axel. He didn't believe that I was ok and he was right. I was FAR from Ok. I was still shaking and I couldn't even walk to my class without jumping. Luckily the day was almost over.
I walked into my music class and froze. There he was, sitting at my teacher's desk. I ran out of the room, barely making it to the bathroom to throw up. The tears wouldn't stop. I wanted to die. I wanted this pain to go away. I wanted Axel.
As if on cue, I heard his voice calling my name. I had forgotten that Axel and I had the same chorus class. He must've seen me running out the door. For some reason I didn't answer his call. Why? I found out when I realized that everything was becoming dizzy and dark. What was happening to me? How could one person affect me this much?
"Roxas?" he called again after my body hit the ground. His eyes met mine as he crouched down to look under the stall, "shit."
He unlocked the stall and ripped the door open. The coldness on the tiles left me as I was picked up by Axel. I wrapped my arms around his neck, nuzzling my head into his chest.
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
My eyes fluttered open as the rays of sunlight shined through the curtains. I sat up, realizing that I was in the nurse's office. I searched for Axel, who I found within two seconds. He was texting, most likely Sora. He glimpsed up and closed his phone when he saw me.
"Hi," He said, flashing that brilliantly sexy smile at me.
"Hi," I replied, coughing. I hadn't realized how dry my mouth was. He handed me his water bottle and rubbed my back. I choked down the water and looked at him, "thanks."
"No problem. You ok?"
"Yeah."
"What happened back there? You had me worried."
"I just saw him there and I freaked out."
"Who?"
"Marluxia."
"...Roxas, Marluxia wasn't there. He was in the cafeteria but not in the music room."
"B-But I saw him! He was there!"
"...I think you need some rest. Do you want me to call your mom?"
"No! I don't need rest! I saw what I saw. He was there!"
"No he wasn't Roxas. Our music teacher was there. Marluxia was probably teaching Sex Ed. Like he always does."
"No he was there!"
"No he wasn't Roxas. I'm worried."
"Don't worry...go ahead and call my mom. I probably do need rest."
"...Ok. I'll see you tonight ok?"
"Alright. I love you."
"I love you too."
He pecked me on the forehead and dialed my number. I looked out the window as I listened to him chat with my mother. She will definitely ask why I was so afraid of Marluxia when I get home. I'm going to have to think of a good excuse.
