Confusion

Terra drops me off at school too early, and the lunch ladies let me hang out in the cafeteria again. I sit at a table restlessly, last night was so weird and kind of uncomfortable. I think Terra's mad at me. I pull my phone from my pocket and call Ven again. He still doesn't answer and I sigh impatiently, He must still be asleep. I wait as I had yesterday, for Ven to come to school. When he finally arrives, he sits down beside me, "Sorry I missed your calls, my phone was on silent."

I shrug, grinning at him, "No problem man."

I sigh, "So I assume you didn't bring some clothes for me, then?"

He looks a little sad, "No, sorry. B-but I'll bring some tomorrow! I promise."

I shrug again, patting his shoulder, "I can always count on you."

"Are you okay?" he asks.

I frown, "Uh, yeah. Why?"

He tilts his head, staring at me, "Um.. You just.. You look.. Um.."

He looks down, "Did something happen last night?"

I raise an eyebrow, "What are you going on about, Ven?"

He raises his phone and takes a picture of me. I blink, "Uh.. What?"

He hands me the phone and I look at the picture in confusion. There's a bruise on my neck. Where did that come from? I frown and hand the phone back to him, "I have no idea how that got there."

He puts his phone away, his eyes never leave me, "Did he hit you?"

"What?" I chuckle lightly, "No! I must have fallen off the bed or something and didn't notice."

"He took you to school, didn't he? He didn't notice it?" Ven looks suspicious, but I really have no idea how this happened. All that happened last night was that I slept in Terra's bed and he tries to get it on with me and I told him to stop. He was annoyed, but he didn't hit me. I roll my eyes at my worrisome brother, "I probably just fell. It's no big deal."

Ven looks a little relieved, "Okay.. If he does ever hit you.. You'll tell me, right?"

I hug him, "You don't have to worry about that."

He hugs me back, "Promise."

I sigh, pulling back. I smile at him, "I promise if something happens like that, I'll tell you."

He smiles back, looking more relieved, "That's good. Thanks.."

"No problem," I stand, "Let's get some breakfast."

He nods and follows me to the breakfast line. We go through and get our pancake breakfast then go back to our table. We eat in silence and I see Ven keeps sneaking glances at me. I sigh, turning to him, "Why do you keep looking at me like that? I told you, the bruise is nothing."

"I'm sorry," he sighs, "I'm just worrying over nothing, I guess.."

I shake my head, "Don't worry about it. I'm fine. How are you doing? Is Dad being nice to you?"

He nods, "I'm fine, Dad's the same as ever."

I looks down, "Has he cleaned out my room?"

Ven gasps, "Of course not."

I look back at him, "He did last time. He'll probably do it this time, too."

"I won't let him, okay?" Ven smiles reassuringly, "Everything will be fine."

I nod slowly, "Okay.. Thank, Ven."

He hugs me then goes back to eating his breakfast. I continue eating as well and then we head our separate ways to start the school day when the bell rings. After school I say goodbye to Ven and head down to Hastings again to wait for Terra. I sit at the comic section and pull my phone from my pocket. I frown lightly and text Terra, Hey I have this bruise on my neck. Did you notice it this morning?

He texts back a few minutes later, Bruise? Oh, you must mean the hickey.

I scoff, Hickey?

Yeah, from last night. Don't you remember?

Is that what it's from? I shake my head, Guess I forgot. Sorry to bother you at work.

Don't worry about it. How was school?

I lean back in my chair, School was fine, Ven sort of freaked out because of the bruise. I replace "bruise" with "Hickey" and hit send.

I'll apologize to him later ;)

I roll my eyes, chuckling. Apologize to me.

Sorry, babe. ;D I get off in an hour. What do you want for dinner? Oh, did your brother bring you any clothing?

No, he will tomorrow though. And whatever's fine, I'm not picky with food. I grab a comic off the shelf and start flipping through it. I leave Hastings an hour later and get in Terra's car, "How was work?"

"It was fine." he shrugs, driving back to his house.

"So, what are we doing for dinner?" I ask.

He shrugs again, "I'll just cook something up. Hm, you can borrow those pajamas again tonight since you still don't have clothes."

I look away from him, "Oh, okay.. Cool, thanks. Um.. I'm gonna sleep on the couch tonight. I, uh, kick sometimes.. Or sleepwalk."

He parks in the driveway and turns to me, "If you sleepwalk you definitely need to stay in bed with me, so I can keep you from wandering off and getting hurt."

I blush, shaking my head, "Don't worry about it."

He raises an eyebrow, "Why don't you want to sleep in bed with me, Roxas? Did I upset you last night?"

He leans really close to me and I back myself into the door. He moves from his seat and gets over me, pressing me against the door. I wince lightly as he holds me down, "T-Terra.."

He smirks, kissing me. He pulls back a moment later and I can't read his expression. He sighs, "Just get inside, Roxas. We'll talk about this later."

I quickly get out of the car and go inside. I'm confused, What just happened? Terra comes in a moment later and goes to the kitchen to start dinner. I frown and lean back against the couch. Things are getting weird and I don't know what to do. I just need to give it some time and things will even out, I know it. I just need to calm down and let things get back on track.
