Of Treats and Sweet Dreams

by OmegaStarShooter14

AU. Sometimes, working can be fun. You can express yourself, make friends, and experience new things. Sometimes, it ties us with different people, creating an unbreakable connection. It could be as sweet as a chocolate cake or as sour as a lemon tart. It can help heal the heart... or break it into pieces. Would you take the risk? (On HIATUS for editing,)

10. A Friend in Need

Sorry for the late update, everyone! Here's a chapter where we left off...

~A friend in Need~

~Aqua~

I shut my phone and begged Vanitas to take me to the café. He nodded, his face steel hard.

I'm so lucky to have a friend like him.

On the way there, I thought about what Olette had told me on the phone:

'Aqua! Two masked men came in and told us to give them everything we had! One grabbed Namine and cut her arm. Riku's here to help her but she doesn't want to leave! Oh, Aqua, please hurry!'

What the hell are the odds that the day me and Vanitas aren't there, there's a robbery?

The odds aren't in my favor, it seems.

"Vanitas, please, hurry."

He nodded, and sped up. He hasn't talked since the call. Poor guy must feel so guilty.

"Vani, it wasn't your fault."

He looked at me through the rearview mirror.

"Yeah, thanks Aqua."

~0~

When we got to the café, Vanitas dropped me off and said he had to go somewhere. I let him go, I had different issues on my mind.

I stormed in and saw Namine on a chair, with Riku next to her. Namine's arm was cut pretty bad, if that cut caught a main vein, she might lose her arm.

Olette spotted me. "Aqua, thank goodness!"

I nodded at her and looked at Namine. "Go to a hospital, now."

She whimpered. "A-Aqua, I'm so sorry..."

"This is not your fault. Riku! Take her to Destiny Central Hospital!"

"Right!" He scooped her up and put her in his car. They drove off.

I looked at Olette. "How much did they take?"

Tears streamed down her face. "They took everything."

Oh no.

~Ventus~

Roxas still hasn't woken up.

The cuts were actually pretty deep, and he was hurt a lot.

Fuu took care of him. She felt so guilty. He was in a bed, unable to move, just beacuse he wanted to help her.

The two people I cared for the most were hurt and sad.

It made me feel like shit.

Walking downstairs, I got a text from Riku.

Hey, did u hear?

-Come to the dark side. Sorry, outta cookies.

No, wut?

-Wayward Wind

The cafe got robbed. Aqua said she has no choice but to shut it down.

-Come to the dark side. Sorry, outta cookies.

If Roxas found out that, his favorite place in the world closed down, he would kill himself.

I dialed mom's phone number.

"Yes?"

"Mom, It's Ven. I need a favor."

"What is it, dear?"

"I need you to make a check..."

~0~

End! Hoped you ilked it!
