Author's note: Aah, another incredibly short chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Review please!

And I

Can't deny your eyes

You know I try to read between the lines

I saw a warning sigh

And then you threw me up against the wall

Riku took me downtown in his car. It was a old, and just a little beaten up, but it worked all the same. We chatted about school and things while we browsed the CDs in Destiny Records. The night before, I couldn't keep Riku off my mind. I was so... Happy. Like, truly happy, for the first time in god knows how long. He made me feel good about myself, I didn't know why.

"Hey, this is a good band." Riku said, holding a CD I had at home in front of me.

"Oh, hey yeah I have--" I was cut off by the feeling of my phone vibrating in the pocket of my jeans. "Hold up a minute." I told him, taking the phone from my pocket. I read the caller ID. Unknown ID. I frowned, wondering who it could be. I flipped it open and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Xion?"

My face fell. All over fear took over my body and I felt completely frozen. I nearly dropped the phone, but my instincts allowed me to grab it.

"Who is this?" I asked. But I knew who it was. I just... had to confirm it.

"You know who it is." He always was good at knowing what I was thinking. Without another word I pressed the end button on my phone. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe him. How did he get my number? How did he find me? How did he--

"You okay?" Riku asked me, ending my thoughts.

"Y-yeah." I stuttered, still grasping who had just called me.

"Who was on the phone? If you don't mind me asking."

"It was... The wrong number." I quickly thought of the lie.

"Oh, alright." he walked back over to the CD rack we were looking at. I shook my head to wake me up, and followed Riku back over. "So, as I was saying, yeah. These guys rock."

"I know. I have their CD." I laughed softly.

"Oh, thats cool." Riku turned back to the CDs, carefully flipping through and reading the titles. I turned my back to him. I could tell that my expression was twisted, but I didn't try to hide that. I was thinking...

I found it hard to focus. My mind was concentrated on the phone call I had received. Riku was a really nice guy, and as much as I wanted to get to know him even better, I just couldn't think straight. It was incredibly stressful. I wanted to talk to someone about this. I needed to. I couldn't just ignore it and hope it passes; I'd figured out the hard way that that never works. Ever. But, I knew I had no one. No one to talk to and no one to have listen to my stupid, worthless problems.

"Something wrong, Xion?" Riku asked me, after he purchased the CDs he was buying. I was going to buy something, but then I realized that I had no money. As usual, I was broke.

"Oh, its nothing." I lied. I guess he'd noticed I wasn't talking much...

"Alright." he smiled, and I forced one back. We spent the rest of the day shopping around downtown. I didn't buy anything, obviously, no money, but Riku bought a few things. He had like, a hundred dollars on him... I wished I could carry around money like that.

Ooou, Xion got a call from someone., any guesses on who it may be?;).

The next chapter is Riku's. After that, everything should come into play or whatever.

Review please!
