NOTE: I need to GET OVER IT. Sniffles some more
Contracting Boundaries Chapter Ten: The ForgottenThank the lord we got that settled. I mean there was that one girl who passed us and say but then Demyx knocked her out with a dictionary. But who cares?
We got Axel out of my locker (Thank god none of the blood got on my homework…) and then we shipped him off back home so Shrunken Tiki Head could 'fix' him up.
That's when my life flipped around into a blender to spin around like a ballerina on crack.
Or steroids because crack would probably make you fall over and babble inanely.

I saw one of my old friends, Hayner. I reached out to call out but then Demyx dragged me back to the Narnia Stage Prop of Doom.
Now we're sitting in our shared room with me glaring at Demyx.
"What the fuck Demyx?" If he starts the sprinklers I'm gonna shove him out the window, I swear I'll really do it.
He looks at me and then looks away. "How does your friend respond if a stranger said hello to him?"
"He'd probably punch the lights out of the stranger…" But what the fuck does that have to do with shoving into mushroom world?
"Would you like to have the lights punched out of you?" He walks to the window and looks out at the bland scenery.
"Of course not but – "
"He won't recognize you. He's forgotten about you." Demyx turns to look at me – all sad and shit. Looks kind of like a melting beagle.
I laugh at the ridiculous idea. "What are you talk – "
"Roxas! Don't you understand? You can't go back!" He starts to pace the room. "You died. Don't you think anyone would react to that?"
He takes one look at my puzzled expression and sinks into his bed, head in hands. "I was kid who was in his second year in college. I had a mom, two brothers and a little sister. I was your average kid – I failed most of my classes by sleeping through them, I survived off of takeout, I had a part time job at McDonalds. Now when I think about it… I had a happy life."
This sounds like someone's really sappy biography.
"Then I killed myself with alcohol abuse. I ended it all and Zexion found me here."
Awww… isn't that sweet? Still I don't see how this connects to me unless he's either a) telling me to become gay or b) he's trying to distract me.
"I missed my family though. Even though I was provided for I missed them. So I went to visit them." He looks up to me despairingly. "They were all gone…"
Brownie points are deducted because he was being selfish. I mean… he was fucking provided for…
"I searched in the phonebooks, the internet… everywhere… But my family had disappeared. It's the same with Larxene… Larxene brought her little sister here and she was all full of joy and shit but then the next day her sister couldn't even remember Larxene's face…
"I've tried everything… But I'm still here…"
I can picture the swearing cockroach full of shit but joy? I'm sorry… joy?
"So why don't you complete the challenge Lady Death gave us – Zexion knows it after all."
"I can't complete the challenge…" Demyx shakes his head in dismay.
"Well what is it?" Seriously dimwit – Even I could probably do this.
"We have to tell her why we 'specifically' were chosen to be her representatives."
…Okay maybe not.
XxXxX
Why would I be chosen to be her representative?
Only she would know the answer! She and…
… Anjyl…
XxXxX
Oh no. I am NOT going near that girl.
No. Just no.
XxXxX
No matter how tempting or how curious I may be…
XxXxX
No. It's not worth it…
XxXxX
Yes it is.
XxXxX
NO IT'S NOT.
XxXxX
You know what? I, Roxas Hikari, have conquered the Emo Condominium, the Portal to Narnia, the Superior's Swivel Chair and even Axel's spelling! This should be no problem for me!
…
…
…
Right?
XxXxX
Okay this is not funny. I finally work up the nerve and tomorrow's Saturday…
People like me need to be paid for their sarcasm.
…
If that ever happens call me – I'll be a millionaire.
XxXxX
This is worse than the time I was forced into a fairy costume for Halloween.
Believe me – It doesn't matter what they say about men being manly in tights. IT'S ALL A LIE. A LIE I TELL YOU.
Maybe I should go find that cat I saw in the hallways.
Yeah – let's go find the cat.
XxXxX
Okay I've found the cat but… it's kinda big for a cat – it's like large pit bull size. And its ears are like the ears on those foxes uh… Fennec foxes? They're huge.
It's kinda cute though. It's got all this fluffy tawny fur with rowan brown stripes.
I scratch behind its ears for a while and then a voice rings out through the hallway.
"Hello Roxas. I believe you've got something to ask me?"
Okay I'm hearing voices. I'm going crazy. I heard Anjyl talking to me even though I'm in a completely empty hallway…
"Who said you could stop scratching?" I look down and the cat's grinning at me.
I can't help it.
I scream.
…
And I'm telling you – I'd seem manlier if I were wearing fairy tights.
XXxxXXxxXX
…SO SO SORRY! I've had classes and stuff so I never really got around with posting this and my juice was being drained out into my four hours of sleep. But I thought you were suffering enough so I decided to give you guys an… extremely belated Christmas present. Luvers – Shadoom!
P.S. I PROMISE to post the next chapter… next week – PROMISE.
