Chapter 11

The rain continued throughout the night. It wasn't so bad, soothing if anything else. I drifted in and out of sleep; I should probably start taking some kind of sleeping pill. I always had a problem with staying asleep for more then a few hours, probably just stress I suppose.

I awoke to the sound of Xion getting out of bed; my cheeks became warm when I noticed she wasn't wearing any cloths. Then I realized I wasn't either, pretending to be asleep she walked over to pick up hers. She had a few scars along her body; it made me wonder what she had seen throughout her life. Xion walked out of the cave probably to go wash up, we had started to smell a bit I guess. I got up to put my cloths on before starting up breakfast. I had finally figured out how to turn bread into toast, when Xion got back it seemed I startled her.

"Sorry did I wake you up?" She asked.

"Nawh! I've been awake for awhile now." I lied.

Xion blushed realizing I saw her. "Oh well, I said last night we should discuss what we did. But I'm not really sure what to say?"

"There's not much to say we did what we did okay? You don't seem to regret it; we used protection and everything like that."

"True."

"Okay good so everything's just peachy." I smiled as I handed her a piece of toast.

"Roxas today I want you to teach me how to swim."

I laughed. "You don't know how?"

She punched my shoulder. "No you dick, I never learned how?"

I laughed again. "Might be a bad idea Xion I barely know how to myself."

She flashed me that look the: "Pretty please." Look. It was hard to resist her eyes they could make me do anything.

I sighed. "I guess I'll give it a try."

"Yay!" She wrapped her arms around me knocking me to the ground.

So after we ate I took her out to the water, she was actually a pretty nervous even though it was just water. First I tried to teach her how to float which worked until she started flailing about. I taught her how to tread water which she picked up on pretty quickly. I was glad I was able to teach her something like this and once Xion got over the initial fear she loved it. We swam around for a few hours before heading back to the cave to dry off. The weather was much nicer today, tomorrow would be our fifth day on the beach. We weren't bored we've been having a lot of fun; Xion told me she wished we could stay here forever. But all we needed was Axel and Larxene, speaking of I was starting to miss them.

Speaking of, I woke up the next morning to find that Axel had messaged me I gasped when I read the message:

To Roxas: DUDE, I think Saix found out where you guys are I have no idea how but he's on his way. Larx and I are gonna try to catch up as soon as we can.

I read the message a few times over. That wasn't the scariest thing about it; I received this message three hours ago. Saix could be anywhere by now, I couldn't hide my face from Xion. She knew what was going on.

"He's almost here isn't he?" Xion asked with a scared expression on her face.

I nodded. "Yeah help me pack up; we're getting out of here now."

In about five minutes we had everything packed up in our bags. I grabbed her hand and we ran out of the cave down the beach, my heart sank when I saw Saix's car parked right on the beach. Saix stood calmly in front of the car his soulless eyes piercing through both of us.

"Xion, it took me awhile to find you. You probably should've taken your phone with you!" Saix laughed as he threw it to the ground stomping it into the sand. Xion bit her lip. "So what are you going to do?"

Xion spoke up which surprised me. "I've decided I can't keep living with you, you don't care for; you hate my entire existence!"

"You're right I don't honestly I wish you were dead!" He smirked. Saix slowly walked forward so he was barely five feet away. He was caring a bat in one hand, his other was deep in his pocket.

"Not another step fucker!" I shouted directly into his face. I saw another car come speeding onto the beach. I turned to see Axel and Larxene jump out of the car.

I turned back as Saix suddenly swung his bat into the side of my chest; I went flying a few feet backward I landed directly on my face. Everything went silent for a few moments; I think one of my ribs was cracked as pain seared through my chest. I tried to pull myself up to no avail.

"ROXAS!" Xion screamed.

Saix laughed when he saw Axel and Larxene run towards reaching for his pocket he pulled out a black pistol, he pointed it at everyone.

"None of you come any closer, only one will die today." He looked at Xion.

"You can shoot me that's fine, just don't hurt them dad!" Xion cried.

Larxene went to try to pull me aside but Saix shot the ground in front of her, he wasn't playing around.

"You're fucking crazy even if you do shoot her you'll end up in prison or worse…dead!" Axel yelled.

"It means nothing what happens to me anymore. I'm done with all of you mostly you Xion time to silence you and the promise I made to your mother!" Saix raised the gun and I forced my body to move; the bullet was fired.

When I opened my eyes I was standing in front of Xion with my arms spread to the sides, she looked like she had gone into shock. I turned my head to see Axel knock Saix out and punch him multiple times in the face. Everything was silent until I began to hear Larxene's scream. I looked at Xion as she began to cry, I was confused until I decided to look down. Blood was spilling through my white t-shirt; I fell onto my knees.

I got out a chuckle. "Don't cry Xion you'll be better off without me anyway." I fell over but Xion caught me in her arms.

"Why would you do that Roxas WHY?" Tears spilled down her face like a waterfall.

"So I could free you from Saix, you'll never half to go back there ever again."

"Roxas don't worry buddy will get you out of here in no time." Axel said as he dialed 911, he was crying too.

I smiled again. "That'd be great but I don't think they'll make it, I'm bleeding quite a lot." I looked up at Xion to wipe her tears away. "Don't cry, even though I'm leaving you still have Axel and Larxene. I'll always be with you in your heart."

I pulled on the locket around her neck. "Take care of Axel Larxene okay?"

Larxene nodded as she began to cry again. "Okay I will."

"Xion I sacrificed myself because I love you more then life itself, you're gonna grow up and have an amazing life with or without me." A few tears appeared on my face; I raised my hand to her cheek. "I just wish I could be with you for it, to keep you safe from all the awful things in this world."

I grunted. "Well it seems its about time for me to go, goodbye Xion maybe I'll see you again someday. I'm glad I got to meet you, oh and of course you guys to. You're all my best friends, never forget that. I love you."

My eyes began to close as I heard Xion cry out my name telling me not to go. I cracked a smile as I heard a tune in my head when everything went black.

"When I fall down, you put me back together."

Author's Note: Well this is the end guys…or is it? I think I'm going to write an epilogue before I close the book on this story. I hope you all liked it. Oh maybe I should explain the song? Put Me Back Together by Weezer is my favorite song in the whole world it means a lot to me so I made it important to the characters in the story.
