Chapter 12

Contact

Friday passed quickly, Namine was anxious to get this whole mess over with, one week of glares and unhappy memories made her so tired, and she was ready to go home and sleep. She patiently waited by his locker for him to get out of his history class, and when she saw him heading his way she felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders.

"Well Namine, I am going to go and talk to Kairi in the park now," Roxas said in a monotone voice as he was putting and taking books to and from his locker.

The pain still aching in his heart when he saw her.

"Ok thanks Roxas," she said waving goodbye as she saw him round the corner. She then went to her own locker to get ready for the weekend.

----------

After five minuets of deciding what to bring home, she was almost done when she heard foot steps approaching her from behind, she smiled thinking it was Roxas with good news, but when she turned around her happy dreams fled.

"Hey Namine," She turned around quickly and gasped.

"Seifer" she gritted through her teeth.

He was about to say something, but she did not give him the light of day, and immediately began talking again.

"Roxas told me everything you did, you…you…you sick bastard!" She screamed jamming a finger in his face.

"Hold it Namine," he said bring his hands up in front of his chest, as he pushed her finger away from his face, "I don't want any trouble," he said smiling, "I just came here to warn you." He said his eyes turning cold.

"Warn me of what," Namine spat, the tone in her voice unaltered, but her emotions mixed she felt curious and scared all at the same time.

"Well wasn't that just Roxas you went over to talk to Kairi," he said pausing waiting for a response. She nodded her head and he continued, "I see well the Kairi he is going to see, is very sad and desperate person at the moment." He said a smirk crawling on his lips as he recapped what he saw in the park.

"What are you getting at Seifer?" Namine jabbed, she wanted him to get to the point so she could run as far away as possible.

"Well I understand that you have been around Sora lately," he said lifting a finger.

She responded with a nodded then began to plead her case, "Well he just got his heart broken, what do you expect me to do, leave him out to the cold, what kind of friend would I be then?" She yelled throwing her arms in the air; she was quite exasperated by now.

"Well certainly not the type of friend that looks like she is cheating," he said in a very sarcastic voice.

In a way she knew he was right, but not wanting to admit to her worst enemy she yelled, "I don't need to hear this!" Namine stomped, after grunting out of disgust at the boy's words.

"Ok fine then," he continued saying as she turned her back and began stalking off, "But how do you think Roxas feels?" he said yelling down the empty hallway.

She froze in her tracks, her eyes widened, and Seifer knew that she was stunned by his words, even though her back was still facing him.

He slowly approached her from behind and whispered in her ear, "Let hope you have been giving little Roxy enough attention, or else he might end up looking somewhere else." He said a wide smirk on his lips.

And with those words he spun around, shoved his hands in his pockets and walked away from the small blond, the satisfactory emulating off of him.

And once he turned the corner he chuckled to himself, and whispered under his breath one single words, "Sucker," then continued his walk to the park.

Namine stood there, frozen in shock from Seifer's words; it had never occurred to her how Roxas was taking all of this.

And what scared her the most was that Seifer was right; she had been spending a large amount of her time with Sora and not with Roxas, but Roxas understood that…right.

He would never go and cheat on her, her chest tightening as the thought entered her mind.

She tired to shake the thought from her head, "No he would never," she said out loud, speaking to the empty hallway, "he said that he liked me, that he liked everything about me," and with those words she calmed herself, and took a few steps forward, heading towards her house, when she suddenly rushed in the opposite direction following in Seifer's foot steps towards that park, "But making sure would not hurt," and with those words she was out the door and running down the sidewalk.

----------

"Roxas I just miss him so much, I want to him to hold me in his arms, I miss everything about him," her voice saddening.

"…But I don't love him anymore." She said it in a way like she was trying to convince herself.

"Kairi, look, I am not a total expert on love, but what I just heard you say, sounded a lot like it." Roxas replied to her words.

"No, I don't want to feel that way, I just do."

"You can't control how you feel, no one can." He said trying to give the best advice he could.

"I know Roxas; I just wish that I didn't anymore."

"What do you mean; you just can't stop loving someone"

"But he cheated on me Roxas, he cheated on me with Namine," She nearly screamed, then her voice quieting, "Don't you feel hurt too?"

"Kairi, for the millionth time, Sora did not cheat on you." Roxas said throwing his hands in the air, completely forgetting about the whole being sensitive part.

"I don't care what he did! I DON'T WANT TO LOVE HIM ANYMORE!" She screamed.

Roxas just stared at the ground, Kairi panting hard after her out burst, and then she smiled.

"That felt good," she said satisfied with herself.

"It shouldn't have," he replied to her heartless comment.

"Well I do a lot of things I shouldn't do," she said standing up, and it sounded as if she was laughing.

"Kairi? Kairi?" Roxas said, his voice louder than before, he suddenly felt concern for the poor girl.

Yes Roxas did admit that they had some problems in the past, or that they were never the closet of friends, but that does not mean when she was in so much pain, or in this case going insane.

She laid her head in her hand, covering her eyes with her fingers and shook her head slightly.

"Kairi," Roxas said, his voice even more compassionate than before, getting up from his seat on the bench and walking over towards her.

"Kairi are you alright?" He asked one last time, as he placed his hand on her shoulder, giving her support.

She turned around to face him, and removed her hand, she was crying.

Her bottom lip quivering and her cheeks drenched with tears. Her mascara running down, giving her the elusion of black tears.

"Kairi," Roxas said, himself feeling pain, to see someone in that much hurt, it damages the soul.

But she did not reply, instead she lunged herself into his arms pressing her face into his chest.

"Kairi, what…" Roxas said a blush coming on his face, but he was cut off.

"Please Roxas, just hold me, it hurts so much, I just can't." She said through her weeps, tears flowing profusely.

About a minuet later, and a shirt covered in tears, Kairi pulled her face away from his chest.

She smiled at her idiocy as she tried to wipe his shirt dry.

"Kairi, its ok, it is just a shirt," he said trying to comfort his friend.

"No, its not, this is my life," She said her gaze falling towards the ground, "I am making a mess of it, and I am making a fool of myself." She said, cursing herself.

"No Kairi your not, were friends, its ok." He said while trying to think of something better to say something funnier to lighten the mood. Then like a light bulb the perfect thought came to his head.

"I mean if anyone I should be the one embarrassed it would be me, after all I did blush when you hugged me, and I think that is more embarrassing that crying," he said a real smile coming on his lips.

Kairi tore her gaze from the ground and look up at him, a glimmer of happiness in her eyes.

"Do you really mean that?" she asked her eyes filling with hope.

"Yeah I was completely red," Roxas said chuckling to himself.

Kairi just looked at him, her forehead crinkled, "Not that silly!" he said laughing as well. It felt good to laugh.

"I was talking about you calling me a friend," she said softly.

"Oh yeah, well I was talking about too," Roxas said pulling a hand behind his head in a signature Sora move, which Kairi immediately recognized so he put his hand down by his side.

"I mean come on I have a girlfriend," Roxas said, looking up towards the sky, but as the words fell off his tongue girlfriend it felt different than before.

"Oh yeah," Kairi said her eyes gliding towards the ground.

"Um, Kairi can I ask you a question?" Roxas asked, trying to go down the polite rout of things.

She nodded softly.

"Do you care if I talk about Namine; I mean are you still mad?" He asked, afraid that she would begin to yell again, but to his surprise she did the complete.

"No, I don't think I ever really was, I just needed someone to blame," she finished softly, "I could never hate Namine, she has been my best friend ever since she got her," She smiled slightly.

"Plus if you say that she did not kiss Sora, then I believe you Roxas, after all we are friends." She said a quick smile appearing on her lips.

Roxas sighed deeply relieved that there was no longer a huge amount of stress between the two girls.

"You are a very lucky guy, to be dating her, Roxas." Kairi said smiling at him.

"Yeah well," he replied to the supposed to be cheerful statement, "I used to think so too." He finished his gaze going toward the sky.

Kairi's face twitched at those words, she thought they were the only couple in the gang, she wanted to ask what happened but she did not need to. Roxas just openly told her.

"I think…" he paused, but then continued after blinking a few times, "…we are becoming distant." He finished his eyes saddening.

"I am sorry Roxas," Kairi said, "I had no idea," she said out of shock.

"Neither did I, it just happened." Roxas replied.

"I was sitting with Namine in the park the other day, and I just felt it, we are losing our connection, I feel myself being pulled in two completely different directions," he said stopping to laughing quietly at himself, "And I have no idea which direction I want to go!" he screamed, venting his emotions.

It was silent for a while until Kairi finally spoke, "Then I guess you really do understand how I feel," she said stepping away from him and walking back over to the bench.

Without even thinking he followed her and sat down next to her on the wooden bench, "Yeah now that you put it that way, I can understand how you feel completely."

"I just wish there was a third option, don't you?" Kairi said, leaning over to her left.

"Yeah, just something completely out of the norm, something easy." He said leaning over to his right.

"Something that did not involve pain, or despair." She said leaning closer.

"Yeah I probably take that option if I could," he replied locking eyes with the red head.

"And you would not regret it?" She asked, a bit of curiosity in her voice, closer.

"I guess it really depends," he said, closer.

"Depends on what?" she asked, closer.

"I don't know," he spoke; they were so closer he only had to speak barley above a whisper.

"Let's take it," she said her eyes so clam, so sure, her lips so close.

"Yeah," he said closing his eyes as he felt her hot breath on his neck, "Lets tak…" but he never got to complete those last words.

Their lips touched suddenly, and quickly. Roxas knew that he had a girlfriend, but she was just so distant and it felt so good, so he took a chance. And he pushed his face on hers.

They kissed there on the bench, not out of passion but out of lust, not out of affection but out of pain, and out of loneliness.

He pulled her closer, and she laid her hands on his chest.

"We-need," kiss, "to-stop," Roxas managed to say in between kisses.

"I" kiss "agree," Kairi replied her hot breath hitting his chin.

"But"

"I"

"Just"

"Can't" they said each taking a word, they spoke together finishing the others sentence.

Until they finally pulled away, and sat on the wooden bench, their breathing heavily, both their heads facing down, both equally ashamed of what they had done.

Until Kairi lifted her head and made eye contact with Roxas, and she shook her head.

"No Roxas," she said, still shaking her head, "I love Sora," she confessed, tears gathering in her eyes.

"I know Kairi," he replied, looking up at her, "I love Namine," for the first time smiling at the mention of her Namine.

"It is as if, in a weird way, we strayed so far from our loves that we realized how much we actually need them." Kairi said her wisdom showing.

"Woah, Kairi! That's deep, what did you do, get it off a Hallmark card?" Roxas joked, and Kairi pushed him, "Shut up." She laughed.

"It is getting late, we should head home." Roxas said, but he was really thinking, I miss Namine.

"Yeah, I miss Sora too," Kairi said her gaze foreign.

Roxas looked confused, "Kairi, how? What?" but the words jumbled in his head, he felt so confused.

"Come on Roxas, you're a guy." She laughed, and then stood.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked, it sounding more like a statement, and not liking the fact that she was taller than him, stood as well.

"Well it is a scientific fact that guys think about sex 95 of the time, so the next thing in line was Namine," she said matter of factly.

"Haha very funny," he said thinking about the time at Namine's party when Sora was trying to tell him about his trip to the future.

He laughed to himself at the thought, and Kairi became annoyed.

"What's so funny?" she said in her fake annoyed voice.

"Nothing, but I really got to go." He said pointing over his shoulder.

"Ok, well before you go…" Kairi said reaching up and kissing him lightly on the cheek, "I just want to say thank you, for everything." She smiled up at him.

"You're Welcome," he said kissing her forehead, then waving goodbye.

"See you Monday!" they both yelled at each other as they turned and walked in opposite directions.

"Jinks! You owe me a soda!" Kairi yelled after him, cupping her hands around the sides of her mouth to project her voice.

Roxas laughed then his mouth fell into a smile which held strong all the way home. The entire walk anticipating the time he was going to spend with Namine over the weekend.

---------

Those words hit him so hard, his chest clenched and he felt himself fall. His heart sank deep with him, he felt heartless.

But when the sadness left he clenched his fits angry with himself for actually letting himself love, he closed his eyes trying to calm his nerves.

But then he opens his eyes, it stung but he could not help but look away, he was being betrayed again. Both of his best friends, first Riku, and then Roxas.

He sat their leaning against the park gate, and cried. He threw his head in his hands and cried.

----------

'Why am I even running to the park, Roxas would never cheat on me, he loves me, they probably won't even be there still, and if they still are if I show up then Kairi would probably just mad, but then why am I still running.' Namine thought to herself.

'Yeah why am I still running' she asked herself as she quickened her pace.

The gates were in sight, it was somewhat dark the sun was beginning to set, it was around five in the afternoon, she was about to enter the gates when she noticed a familiar brunette leaning against the gates his face lowered.

"Sora? Sora? Is that you?" she asked as she approached the brown haired teen.

"Namine?" she heard him say, his voice shaky and just barley above a whisper.

"Omg! Sora what happened?" She asked rushing over to where he sat, and lifted his chin with her hand.

"Why were you crying?" She asked her voice at a much slower pace than before, compassion filling her words.

But he would not answer so she got closer so that her face was just inches away from his.

"Sora, please tell me." She pleaded.

"Don't look behind you," he said pleading, he meant for her not to, but she did anyway.

Her eyes widened as she saw Kairi her best friend since eighth grade and her boyfriend kissing each other goodbye.

She sat there and began to cry. She sat there on the concrete ground next to Sora and cried. She watched them leave both in different directions but neither exiting through the main gate, they yelled at each other in a flirtatious manner then they were gone. And it was just her and Sora, sitting in almost darkness.

'I can't believe it actually happened, we fell apart, Roxas he cheated on me!' She screamed in her head.

"Seifer was right, love never does last," she said out loud just loud enough so that Sora could hear.

"Tell me about it," he responded to her words, his head still down, tears slowly slipping down his cheeks and landing on his pants.

"Sora," she said her weeps continuing.

And with those words she sat down against the gait post next to him, and rested her head on his shoulder. "I am so sorry," she whispered to the darkness, "So sorry."

Both sitting in the dark silently weeping to themselves about the love they thought they had.
