Namine's POV

I sat in my room, lying on my bed on my back, making pictures out of the ceiling cracks.

I was in my purple-bat-girl-nightgown, my black and white ref. socks, and messy pig-tales with my goggles.

I sat up and looked under my pillow, pulling out a picture.

Malcolm and I.

I was ten and he was fifteen, we were back to back, me making it barley to his shoulder, our arms were crossed.

He wore a white and blue dragon button-up elbow-tee with a black collar, light blue jeans an some Nike's, his short blond hair was spiked up at the bangs and his brown eyes were smiling as was his mouth.

I wore a blue tank with a red ribbon on the waist, black-denim-shorts, some Converse, a red hair-flower, and my black-cat-bag at my hip.

I cried again.

I had been closer to Malcolm more than I ever was with Xion.

"Malcolm…" I whispered.

We'd always promised each other we'd always be together, so why didn't I die to?

I checked the clock, it was like nine at night, Xion was in the shower, she'd really just got home an hour and a half ago from tennis practice. It was a surprise meeting, she'd told me.

Axel hated tennis…

I know that had nothing to do with anything but still.

I feel like a toy right now actually, something he just played with until it broke.

Like a doll.

"You know, it's never a good thing to cry alone, or be alone to cry." A voice said from my door.

I knew that voice.

"What are you doing here, Ouhtorai." I asked not looking up as I wiped my eyes with my wrist.

I heard him sigh.

"Trying to talk to you about something, can I come in?" He asked, leaning on my doorway.

"No." I said.

He rolled his eyes.

"To bad, I'm in anyways." He said planting himself on my bed.

Now I rolled my eyes.

I put the picture behind me so he couldn't see it as it rested on my pillow.

Turning to face him I pulled my knees up to my chest, resting my chin on them.

He pulled my blond-bangs out of my eyes.

My bangs and my goggles are my shield, I use them to protect myself from being hurt.

See, it doesn't work when you let people get close to you now does it?

I'm only friends with Xion and Axel, they've been the only people I could talk to since I moved here.

"Nami?" He asked.

"Hm?" Did you come to toy with me more Axel?

"…I'm sorry about earlier,…I got locked in a closet."

"What?" I asked in shock and disbelief.

"…I got locked, in the closet." He repeated as if I was five and he was trying to explain something to me.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at what he said.

"It's not that freaking funny." He said annoyed.

I was taking breaths to calm myself down.

"Okay, okay, okay… yeah it kind of was,… a lot really." I said between my breaths.

"You know, I can leave right." He said with a smirk.

I don't think I'm mad at him anymore.

"Nu! Don't go!" I said grabbing his arm.

"Nam, I was kidding!" He said.

"Oh,…"

He raised a candy-red eyebrow at me.

"What?" I asked him confused/.

"…Nothing." He said with a smile.

"Fine, don't tell me then, I don't really care." I said moving the longer part of my bangs behind my ear.

"Fine I give."

I tilted my head to the side.

He sighed and was silent as if trying to choose the right words.

The only sound was m I-pod's speakers playing 'Open your eyes -By: Snow Patrol'

"Namine, I,"
