Chapter 13: Hollow hills
"That was so cool! I totally want to do that again sometime!" I could hear Roxas's voice booming down the hall.
Franticly, I push my things in my seat and rush out of the opened door to the halls.
"Nam!" I heard Roxas shout happily as he took me by surprise, by running straight up towards me, twirlling me around like a doll. In the corner of my eye though, I could see some odd looks given to him.
"Who is this?" They asked.
"Well, this is Namine." Roxas said as if stating the obvious.
"Oh! So you're the one he was speaking about?" They were a odd bunch. One had spiky brown hair and looked a lot like Roxas, the other had soft blond hair and baby blue eyes.
"Yes?" I peep quietly under my breath.
Both of the boys look at each other, then to me and run up, shaking my hand.
"I'm Sora!"
"I'm Demyx! The better one!" Demyx smiled cheesily.
"Hands off!" Roxas blurted. "She's not a toy!" Roxas said pulling me away from the two new boys.
I saw a pure silver haired familiar. "Riku!" I called out and he turned around, giving me a weak smile.
He jogged over to me and gave me a quick hug.
"Haven't seen you in a while." He says. "You heard about Ka-"
"Yes..." I mumble. "And I hope she'll be doing fine soon...real soon." I add and look down to th floor.
"Me too. You know, I miss her-a lot. A bit more than I miss you." He challenges his voice to speak the last sentece.
"Miss me? How? I see you every day!" I place my hands on my hips.
Riku rubbed the back of his head, "Well, I haven't really talked to you so much lately. Feels like I've been missing out on your happiness." He gave a little half smile before waving. "I need to catch my bus now. I'll call you on the weekend sometime." He beamed before leaving.
I turned around to find the 3 friends totally fessed up in a conversation about Crazy people.
"Wha-" I start but keep to myself before Sora laughed.
"Wow! We were talking about you not being a toy and all, which turned into pokemon, turned into cake, turned into ccrazy sugar high people." He explained.
I understood no connection of any of them. Boys certainly are good at random conversations.
"So I was wondering..." Roxas pursed his lips as we were walking home. "Maybe you can come over today? If you're not busy, I mean." He blushed wildly and didn't understand how adorable he looked right then!
I glanced up at him. "Sure, I'll come right away. I'll just drop off my things, join me if you like." I encourage as I open the front door.
He shyly trotted in behind me and up my stairs, to my room, down the stairs, and out the door again.
"Autumn tree." I say on instinct.
"What?"
"I always called those tree's Autumn tree." I explain pointing to a large tree across the side walk.
"That willow tree?" He asks curiously.
I nod and turn back towards his house's direction. "Come on!" I skip, linking arms with him, causing him to stumble a bit but then re-gaining his balance again he took the lead.
No matter how many times I'm in Roxas's room, I always am amazed by how much it mirrors him. It's like he just explains who he is just basing in his room.
I sit on his bed again, curling up in a comfortable position. I let out a soft moan by the warmth.
The spiky blond laced his fingers in my mess of hair. "You're adorable." Roxas spoke in a whisper. "Like a doll." He breaks off the contact, which makes me frown a bit.
"How did it come to this?" I ask curiously, gazing him in the eys.
"Friendship turns into love, love doens't turn into friendship." He lectures.
"More. Tell me...how did you fall for me? I mean really...ME?" I pout and hit his shoulder softly.
"It's not my fault I fell for you! You tripped me!" He joked, grinning.
"It's hard to get answers out of you!" I protest. "Anyways, Roxas, you're very important to me." I state happily.
"How so?" He asks with a smart smirk on his face, but it couldn't stop him looking so cute.
"Because whenever I want to die, I think of you, and then I'm okay again." I say, looking at my fingers slyly. It was difficult to say, because it was true.
Roxas sighed and rolled me over so my head was burried in his shoulder. "I was made just for you, made to adore you." Roxas whispers sweetlyin my ear.
If I could stay like this. Just like this. I would be in heaven. I would be clipping my wings so I couldn't fly away. So this would be where I was forever.
"Roxas." I whisper in his ear softly.
He groweled in his throat deeply as a relpy.
"I love you." I say in confidence, yet in a muffeling tone.
I'm reaching over, I was made to be here with you. To find him, made just for him. Made to be loved by him.
"Never. You will never leave me. You were waiting on me. And you will keep me. Never leave me." I add on, holding him close.
I didn't realize it then.
He didn't say anything. He jus held me closer. Wanting to hear more. I would say anything he wanted.
I didn't know.
He was so warm, I could hear his fast heart beat. That easy. Glass clear
But the glass had a spot.
I wasn't able to tell.
That something was terribly wrong.
