I had been in the Nurses office for quite a while for the rest of the day. I spent a lot of time in there, and it hurt to walk, so Kairi and Sora helped me back to my room. I had no idea where Roxas was, and when I tried to bring it up to Kairi, she sort of ignored it. I didn't sleep at all that night. Some of it was because my foot had a pounding pain going through it. Another reason was Roxas. I couldn't stop thinking about him, and every time I thought about him I was in tears. How could he not believe me!?
I tossed and turned for the short minutes that I did sleep and then I woke up in the worst mood possible. The nurse gave me crutches seeing how every time I put my foot down I cried in pain. Making my way down the hall, I opened the door to my first period class and all eyes looked at me. I'm guessing the news made it around.
It's probably was just the rumors that Yuna and her friends made up.
I tried my best to ignore the eyes staring at me, and I could feel my eyes start to burn. My chest was tight, and I breathed as slowly as I could to calm myself down. Sitting in my chair, Sora and Kairi threw me a sympathetic look, and I tried to smile back at them. That smile faded once Roxas walked in the room. He looked just like me—no sleep. I knew for a fact now that I held strong feels for him, but I couldn't help but feel angry.
Who wouldn't be?
"I'm so sorry about you and Roxas." I heard Yuna's annoying voice whisper behind me. I kept staring forward, trying not to cry. "But, I'm pretty sure he is available now..." She stood and I watched her out of the corner of my eye. She was talking to Roxas now, and it didn't look like he wanted to talk to her, but at the same time, he wasn't pushing her away. He was too involved in thinking about something, I'm guessing. Yuna started to get a little annoyed with him not talking to her, so she stalked off to complain to her friends.
Roxas slid down into his seat, his vision not focused on anything as the teacher started the lesson. I don't even remember what it was about since I was thinking about my relationship with Roxas. What state was it in?
I'm allowed to leave and arrive to class three minutes early now, so I grabbed my crutches and walked out of class. I could hear the snickers behind me. I had a normal backpack now so I didn't need anyone to help me.
The hallways were empty. All you could hear was the sound of my breathing and the crutches hitting the floor every so often. Roxas just crushed my heart. I thought I knew the pain of heartbreak, but this was horrible. I knew he didn't believe me, so I could just picture him all over some girl, forgetting all about me. The mental pictures just scanned through my mind—him making out with some other girl. It hurt so bad, and I couldn't help but think I deserved it. If I was in his place, wouldn't I think the same thing?
Instead of heading to class, I changed my direction and headed right outside to the soccer field. I didn't care if I was ditching class. Who cared about me right now? I didn't need to hear or see the people that were involved in stupid rumors. I heard things like he had sex with me and shoved me out of the room and broke my foot, or I slapped him and he stomped on my foot.
Stupid things.
The only thing I thought of doing was sitting in the middle of this field and listening to the birds. It calmed me. My cell phone vibrated a few times, and I was guessing it was Kairi trying to figure out where I was. I didn't want her to know. I would talk to her later. I just wanted to sit.
I don't even know how long I was out there since I dozed off. By the time I woke up, the sun was setting, and the soccer team should be heading out for practice. And I was in the middle of their field. I'm surprised that no one found me yet. Or bothered looking.
"Namine!" I heard a deep voice shout from a distance. I turned and saw number twenty-two running to me. Sora. I attempted to stand, but I fell over.
"Ow!" I said as I hit the ground. Sora came and helped me up, putting the crutches under my arm. I smiled at him and hobbled off the field. I sat down in the bleachers and watched them practice. They seemed to be training harder since they were in the state championships. Every one seemed to be working their asses off besides Roxas. He kept getting yelled at by coach for not focusing.
I feel like its all my fault.
Once practice was over, I stood the best I could and yelled after number thirteen.
"Roxas!" I shouted. I saw some of the members on the team snicker, but Roxas still looked at me. His expression darkened, but not with anger. I motioned him to come up, even though looking at him made my heart break. He hesitated, but began to walk off the field and up the bleachers. I was at the very bottom and then he reached me.
"What?" I couldn't read his expression.
"I know I hurt you, and trust me, I am paying for it. Please, don't let your annoyance with me hold you back from moving on." I said, eyes downcast so I couldn't see his expression. "I started to do this to hurt you and then I fell for you. I didn't want to hurt you anymore. It seems I just got hurt again. I'm not sad that I spent time with you or fell for you. I'm happy I did, and I hope you were too. Just, don't be angry."
Roxas was about to open his mouth and say something, but I stopped him. I didn't want him to hurt me because he was angry. I knew I hurt him and that was enough to hurt me.
"Namine—I should be--"
"No, Roxas. You of all people shouldn't apologize." I said. I stood and began to walk away. "I'm the one who is sorry." I didn't want to hurt him anymore by talking to him so I stalked off, leaving him standing there. I did let myself cry a bit when I walked away, because I could hear him calling after me. I didn't want him to apologize for being mean to me because I knew I deserved it.
I could feel my heart breaking every time he called my name.
I just knew it wouldn't be the same after this.
I just hope that I'm not hurting him anymore. I'd rather be hurt over him.
Sorry it is short. I want my partner to write all the happy stuff that I thought should come after this moment. I was just describing how Namine felt or something. IDK! Haha, but the next chapter, I think should be happy, so TAKE MY HINT PARTNER! Haha HAPPY! Anyway, again, sorry for the shortness.
Review!
