She decided she could no longer delay searching for the answer of her dreams. Axel was getting into her head and Xion and Roxas were getting into her guts. She drove home thinking of how her stomach churned when she heard Roxas asking Xion.

She shook her head. For a second there she wished she could just come to the Winter Formal with him. And for another second she wished she could talk to Axel, to just learn about him.

I need to know the truth, she thought as she stepped out of her car. She knew what she had to do. She have to confront her mother about this. She stopped in front of her own door and took a deep breath.

"Naminè!" greeted Mrs. Liteheart "I bought you some sea salt ice cream"

"Thank you, Mom" she said while she sat down on the chair in front of the kitchen counter facing her mom's side.

"You're not gonna eat them? They're in the freezer" she said while stir frying some veggies.

"Not now, Mom" she answered. She twined her hands together and bit her lip. She never talked about anything like this with her mother. She's afraid the way she said it would look weird.

"Okay, what's wrong dear?" asked Mrs. Liteheart. She knew exactly how her daughter would react for different kinds of things. This time she knew something was up.

"We... Did we use to live here?" asked her.

Mrs. Liteheart choked at the question of her daughter. It almost seems like she wasn't expecting the question. She took a glass of water and drank it as Naminè watched in patience, waiting for the answer.

"Well, we did move a lot, right honey? I couldn't really remember" she said. She laughed with a forceful expression.

"Before we go to Italy, Mom?" she asked again. It's normal if Naminè forgot, she was still a child. But there's no way her mother couldn't remember.

But then instead of answering Naminè's question, she put down her spoon and fork. Then she smiled, which confused Naminè a lot. There must be something up, she thought.

"I think it's time you give your dad a call, sweetheart" answered her.

And just like that, she stood from the dinner table and strolled into her room. Naminè was left unanswered and confused. She didn't expect she had to call her dad.

Naminè's father is a very busy man. He works from town to town, country to country, continent to continent. That's why they moved a lot. But her parents decided that it would be best for Naminè to stay in one place. So it'll be her father who have to come back home every now and then.

But to give her father a call? She was afraid that she would disturb him. It's not that their relationship is bad. Her father and her mother both love her a lot. They'd give their only daughter everything she wants. But Naminè doesn't want to be a burden to them.

Not long after Mrs. Liteheart left the dinner table, Naminè also walked upstairs to her room. She thought of when will be the right time to call her dad. After she entered her room, she decided it would be wise not to rush things. She'll e-mail her dad asking for the appropriate time.

So she sat on her chair and strolled the chair to her PC. She booted up her PC, and thought of what to tell her dad. She then began tying up words;

"Dear Dad,

How are you, Dad? I'm sorry if my errand disturbs you. But I was wondering if we can have a conversation on the phone sometime? I don't want to disturb you, that's why I didn't just call you. Please tell me when you're not busy, Dad."

She clicked the send button. She exhaled some air as if the task was hard enough for her to do so.
Pip!

A chatbox popped out on her desktop. It's a chat from her MMORPG account. She looked at the display name and it said "KeybladeWielder1407". She wondered who could it be, since she didn't have that username in her contact list.

The chat said, "Hello, WhiteMemories2308"

"Ummm, hello. I didn't recognize your username before" she answered. She reckoned she's not that famous in the game.

"Lol, I know you didn't. But I just did" he chatted back and Naminè was getting curious beyond comprehension. Then he said, "How are you, Naminè?"

"How did you know my IRL name? D:" she asked. She never gave away her real name to people online unless they were really close.

"Aww come on you know me" he chatted back.

"Okay, this is getting creepy as hell" she was really creeped out and she thought she was being bugged or something.

"Chill, Nams. I'm Roxas"

"ROXAS? Why didn't you say so? How did you know my username?" she asked almost getting her heart blown up by suspense.

"Yeah, I saw you tweet it a while ago
" answered him. Then he typed in another chat "You okay, Nams?"

"I am. Why ask?"

"You seemed weird at lunch earlier"

Naminè knew he was referring to her behavior after he had asked Xion to the dance. But she herself didn't exactly know why she was like that either. She thought it was just the terrifying feeling she got every time she's near Xion.

"Oh, it was nothing" she answered. She really didn't like the fact that her best friend is going to date the girl who threatened her. But she remembered when Roxas told her about him having a crush on Xion, so she typed in "Well congrats on the Winter Formal date"

"Thanks. Well did you ask your mom about your past?"

Naminè told Roxas everything. About how her mom just threw her to her dad and she's now waiting for her dad's reply. Then from that, Naminè told Roxas of how they moved a lot and how her dad is a very busy man. They ended up talking about each other's life.

"My dad is also rarely home" chatted Roxas "He has... other thing to attend to. And I guess he loves that other thing more than me and my mom"

Naminè was very surprised to hear that. She didn't exactly know how to respond to that statement. She wanted to comfort him but she's afraid she will go out of line.

"Why do you say so?" asked her.

"Hmmm, I guess it's not the right time to discuss that" answered him. And Naminè didn't bring it up any more to avoid hurting him.

They ended up playing in the game together. They were both talking about silly things as they swept through the corridors and killing dragons. But then in the middle of a boss fight, Naminè's phone rang. It would be irresponsible of her if she leaves Roxas alone, so she shrugged it off at the moment.

"Damn yeah! That was so fun!" chatted Naminè.

"Yeah! Oh wait, I gotta text Xion back" said Roxas.

Naminè's facial expression changed when she heard him mentioned that name. Why is it that she didn't like Xion at all? She just couldn't shake off the feeling. But then she realized something.

Oh yeah, text!, she thought while reaching her phone with her left hand. She froze for a bit when she saw what the notification was. It was a message from Axel.

"Evening, Naminè. What's up?" asked him.

Naminè was really surprised that he texted her. Sure he had said that he'd give her a normal conversation. But when he really did, she doesn't know how to react. There's an itch on her lips curling her smooth lined lips into a nervously formed smile.

She thought for a while in her head. The only thing she could come up with to answer Axel's text was, "Nothing much. Your text was very unexpected"

She waited and waited for a reply. She was very afraid that she had said something wrong. But a few minutes later, her phone rang.

"Happy, aren't you?"

Ah the typical narcistic Axel. It made Naminè chuckle though. She thought about what to reply too long that she didn't realize that Roxas has been buzzing her on chat.

"Where is this normal conversation that you spoke of?" replied Naminè.

Then one buzz caught her attention. She totally forgot about the game. She said sorry to Roxas and told him that Axel texted her.

"Oh. Hey, Nams. I think it's a bit late. I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? Good night. Tell me if you find out about anything"

So they bid their farewells. But Roxas' reaction to Axel texted Naminè was becoming a bit visible to her. She didn't know why Roxas is always on the edge when Axel is making a move on her.

But then again, she was also always on the edge when Xion is around. She thought it's probably a different thing, since Xion has a very dominating aura around her. But it wasn't fear that she felt around her.

Axel and Naminè kept texting that night about random things that she didn't even expect Axel would speak of. She thought Axel was a very up tight guy whose conversation topic is very flat. Turns out she really had fun talking with him.

"Axel, is it okay if I ask you about what is it that you ask me to remember?" she asked after gathering her courage to do so.

"First, I gotta say, I'm sorry for the abrupt behavior. Second of all, I don't want to remind you because it's something you need to remember yourself. By the way, it's very late, Naminè. You should go to sleep. I'm still working"

"Working?"

"Yeah, I live alone so... yeah. It's just a part time job"

"You live alone?"

"Yeah haha. My dad still sends me money though. But I have to be able to sustain myself too"

Naminè didn't know that. So that was accounted as another thing that she didn't know about him. She thought Axel was such a complicated guy.

"Well okay, you be careful. Bye" replied her as she slipped into her bed.

Just when she was about to close her eyes. Her phone rang again. An e-mail this time. And since she hasn't fallen to sleep yet, she reached out her arm to her phone on the counter.

"Dear daughter,

I'm now on the way to the airport. I will go home today."

Her dad, which was supposed to be too busy to even reply to her e-mail, was going to go back home and miss work just because Naminè wanted to ask him a few questions about her past? Has everyone been hiding something from her? She didn't expect that the chain of events would be this long.

Still, the fact that her dad had to rush home just because of that, ignites her curiosity even more. She wanted to tell Roxas, but she remembered he would probably be asleep. The excitement kept her wide awake. And all she did was lying on her bed and thought where would this lead. She also wondered, if Axel really was a part of her past, why couldn't she remember him?

What would Roxas think if the dreams were really my memories?, she shook off her head. The name Roxas started medling in her mind. But then, the name Xion also tailed the thought. Her tummy churned in a very uncomfortable way possible. Putting the name Roxas and Xion together made her feel sick.

What do you see in Xion, Roxas?, she wondered. But why would she wonder about that now? Something felt off inside her. It's like she just can't accept that Roxas wanted to be with Xion. She thought it was because she was worried of Roxas' wellbeing.

She pulled her blanket and settled herself on her bed. Then she said to herself before falling asleep, "I will keep my eyes on you, Xion"
