Valentine's Day, oh joy!

Chapter VII – Leave! Me! Alone!

Roxas jumped awake when he heard the annoyingly annoying beeping of the alarm going off in his room. He had spent another night, being Sunday night, on the couch and so the rays on the early Monday morning sun were shinning into his apartment. He sighed and listened all the while until his alarm turned off on its own, knowing that it would go off again in ten minutes. So he had 9 minutes and 47 seconds to get up before the blasted machine started beeping again.

He groaned as he sat up and slowly lifted himself off the couch. Then after trudging down the hall and entering his bedroom he quickly flicked the alarm to 'OFF' mode before falling face first into his unmade bed. The curtains were tightly closed, barely letting the sun in, so where he was lying he decided to stay. He was not going to school.

Rox had made the decision during Sunday lunch. He was not going to enter that brick building today. He was going to sleep and stay in solitude. He had plenty of absents saved up, ones he was going to use for the end of year, but right now one was called for. He could go to school for even though his arm was still in a cast it wasn't his writing arm so he was still able to write and he was sure that he would get an earful from Vincent for skipping, but right now he couldn't bring himself to care.

He didn't want to go. He didn't want to face anyone, not Sora, not Axel, not the redhead's gang, not Seifer, not anyone. He just wanted to be left alone, so with that in mind he sighed one last time then let his eyes close, letting more sleep take over him. He would eat and take his medicine when he woke up.

Later in the day, around 12, was when Rox woke up again and he knew he had to get up as his stomach was protesting loudly for being empty. So he pulled himself up and went to his small kitchen area getting some soup ready for his 'not-full' organ. He went to the bathroom as he waited for the food to cook and nearly screamed when he looked in the mirror. Yeah, he looked that bad. He had avoided the mirror all weekend but now he wished he avoided it more. The doctors had done their job with healing his swelling wounds on Friday but the marks were still dark purple on his cheek and stomach. It hurt to look at them.

Thankfully a ring from his phone and the boiling of his soup gave him a chance to turn away from the mirror and exit the bathroom. He snatched up his phone as he turned off the soup before reading the text that had come with the ring.

'I can come after school if ya want? Do ya ned anything?' The text from Sora was nice and all but Rox quickly texted back that he was fine and didn't want Sora to come. Soup, solitude, and sleep was all Rox needed and wanted. So as he set the phone back down and quickly ate his soup, he put his bowl away in the sink then walked back to his room and lay back down. His eyes closed and finally a smile came to his face as he snuggled into the welcoming warmth. This is defiantly what he needed.

Sadly, around 3:45, Roxas was once again woken up, but it wasn't to what he excepted something would wake him up. It was a really loud scraping sound. He relaxed when he realized it was from his front door so he figured it was just Vincent, coming by early. Oh if only he had been right. The door had been opened but way more than one pair of footsteps entered. Something was wrong.

His eyes widened when his door opened and there in the doorway, was the looming figure of the redhead. Of Axel. Roxas wanted to scream but he was too frozen. The tattooed teen walked into his room, his room, and came right up to Roxas. The blonde managed to snap out of his frozen sense and bolted out of his room hoping to get out of his apartment but truly did scream when he saw nearly all the members of the organization in his apartment, his home.

How did they even find him?

The blonde grunted when he was pushed forward from behind falling flatly against his carpeted hall. Hands then grabbed him and hoisted him to his feet before forcing him up against his only bare wall in his home. He looked up as a hand grabbed at his hair, roughly. Axel now stood in front of him, his arms crossed though his face remained calm.

"You weren't at school, Roxas." The redhead stated quite clearly as he only gazed at the blonde, as if he was ignoring what was happening to the younger teen, which he probably was.

"Did you think that was going to save you?"

"Answer him!" One of the gang, Marluxia as it sounded, yelled and a hand jerked Rox's head rougher, tears now sprang to the blonde's eyes. He didn't answer though, he couldn't. He just couldn't get over that they were even here in his house.

"Hmm, leave us, boys. I'll meet ya in a moment." Thankfully the hands let go and Rox fell to his knees as the gang backed off and out the door, leaving Rox alone with the redhead. Roxas finally cried as he crumbled upon the floor trying to make himself invisible.

A hand cupped his chin as another helped him sit up against the wall. Axel was now only inches from his face, that ever smug smirk upon his lips, as he leaned forward. Lips brushed against Rox's ear, making the blonde flinch away but he was held from getting up.

"You can't hide from me, Roxas. There is not a corner of this world where you can hide in safety. I will always find you. I told you, we will always be there, so rest assures that I will always be here, wither you like it or not. Now as much as I like seeing your boring home, do not make me come back here. See you in school tomorrow, or would you like to repeat what we shared in the locker room upon your bed?" The redhead sneered, satisfied though as he heard a whimper.

"We-We shared nothing!" Roxas replied only to yelp as a hand took his hair once more and smack it backwards into the wall.

"Oh, we didn't?" Axe growled as his blazing eyes gazed at Rox once more.

"N-No…"

"You don't sound so sure about that." Axe smirked as his hand stroked the blonde's bruised cheek.

"How are you so sure that it was not me inside of you, short cake?"

"Doctors….said…" Rox tried to say but stopped when a loud deep chuckle cut him off and lips were pressed once more to his ear.

"They lied to you, Roxas. I own you!" Then just as the syllables filled Rox's ear, Axe stood up and smirked down at the boy below him.

"See you in school tomorrow, Roxas. Don't keep me waiting." With that Rox heard his front door close once more and all went quite. The once again alone blonde just sat there, frozen.

Had they really lied to him? Did Axel really- NO! No it wasn't true. He was still a virgin! The doctors didn't lie! They had no gain from lying so they were telling the truth. Axel did not own him!

"R-Right…?"

I told y'all! Roxas is second guessing but as I said before Axe did not, but that will be explained later, like waaaaaaaay later. I again thank you all for all the wonderful reviews, please keep them coming cause that's truly the only reason I'm still writing right now.
So I hope you all enjoy this chapter and I will try to update as soon as I can. If there is something you all want to see in this story, like with the characters or anything then please tell me cause I'm running short on ideas, so I need all the help I can get.
