-Chapter 14: Lost-

I walked quickly up the steps of the hospital, pushing my way through the door, batting away the people in my way. I hurry to the receptionist's desk.

"Where's Roxas? Roxas Destino, what happened to him? Is he alive…what room is he in?" I ramble.But to my utter horror the receptionist isn't even listening to me. She holds up a single finger, signaling that she's on the phone.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" I slam my hand down on her table, hard. But the desk lady doesn't respond, she only rolls her eyes and continues to babble into the phone.

"No, you know what!" I grab the phone from her and slam it down on the receiver. "You're going to help me now, whether you like it or not!" I'm practically screaming now.

"Calm down, miss," the desk girl says haughtily. "I'll try to find him…" she types a few things on the computer. I hold my breath, hoping beyond hope that he's okay. My Roxas HAS to be okay…if he weren't I'd—

"Mr. Corazon was taken in around one thirty today. It was a hit and run. As of yet, Roxas' vitals have yet to be stabilized," the lady drones out these words as if reading from a test book. "He has a massive case of internal bleeding; the collision has caused many ruptures to blood vessels throughout his body, making him bleed from the inside."

"O-oh…" I feel my arms start to shake, and my knees buckle.

"Are you alright?" the receptionist asks.

No I'm not alright, "I'm fine," you F-in idiot.

I feel like I'm being consumed by blackness…it's almost as if everything inside me is falling apart; my mind, my heart…my soul.

"Maybe you should go to the waiting room. We'll send the doctor when we hear more word on Roxas."

"O-okay," I walk on clumsy feet towards the waiting room. I plop down in a chair and close my eyes, hoping against hope that my boyfriend's alright.

'A hit and run…'

'Roxas' vitals have yet to be stabilized…'

'…internal bleeding…'

I shiver at the words, closing my eyes and wishing it all away.

I hear something suddenly; "WHAT DO YOU MEAN INTERNAL BLEEDING?" someone practically screams. I look up with wide eyes, Sakura and Riku has arrived.

Sora's silver-haired friend looks grim, while Sakura just looks angry. "It means that—"

"I know very well what 'internal bleeding' means!" Sakura yells.

"Then why—"

"Oh, I'm wasting my time with you!" Sakura says, throwing up her hands in exasperation. That, of course, is when she finally notices me. "Namine!" she rushes over, her shoes squeaking on the floor. She sits down beside me and wraps me in a tight hug. "I'm so sorry, I'm so, so sorry…we'd have been here sooner, but with school and all…"

"I understand," I say, my eyes squeezed shut as I hug her back.

"Namine, are you okay?" Riku asks with concern, appearing behind Sakura.

"N-no," tears well up in my eyes, spilling down my face, "I don't t-think I am." I sob into Sakura's shoulder, tears of sadness and loneliness, tears for Roxas, tears for Sora and Kairi, tears for Axel…tears for everyone.

"It's okay, don't talk…just let it out," Sakura whispers into my ear, "I keep enough emotions locked up for the both of us."

I nod silently into her shoulder.

I stop crying a little later, and pull away from Sakura. She asks if I want anything to drink, but I say no. She goes off with Riku to the cafeteria, saying how she'll bring food back. She knows me to well…she knows it will be best to eat.

"Is Roxas okay?" someone asks from the front desk, and once again the receptionist drones out her text-book-lines and I hear horrified gasps. I look up to see Tidus, Wakka and Selphie, all huddled around the front desk with eyes full of woe.

They come over shortly, comforting me. All I can do is nod silently.

"Namine, it's not like he's dead…" Tidus tries to comfort me.

Selphie hits him in response.

"But he could be," I reply finally. "Internal bleeding is bad; sometimes they can't get it to stop in time. People are fragile Tidus…it's too easy to break us," and to my dismay tears fall across my face once more. Selphie wraps her arms around me again, and we sit there, silently.

Sakura is back again, along with Riku. She hands me a soda, and again tries to lift my spirits with her words. She's so manipulative…she can usually make me do anything; she can even make me happy when, at the moment, it seems impossible.

But this isn't one of those times. Whatever she says with that magical voice, whatever she does…there's nothing that can lift this sadness from me. Roxas, my Roxas, is on the brink…ready to sail over the edge at any moment.

"It was the Organization members who did this," a voice whispers behind me. I turn to see Axel, his face red with anger. "They killed my friend."

"He's not dead Axel," I whisper, "yet…"

"He might as well be," he replies, ignoring my second comment, "what are the chances that he'll survive this? Huh? People don't get ran over and survive, its how things work! Whenever someone gets ran over head on, and on purpose like that, they ALWAYS die." His eyes are shiny with wetness. "I don't know what I'd do without…he's just…the only one who understands me."

"I—"

Someone interrupts me, "Are you Namine?"

I turn again, and I see a doctor in a white lab coat. Her name tag reads "Dr. Yuna".

"Is Roxas alright??? Answer me!"

"I'll take that as a yes, but Roxas…we're doing the best we can. Are his parents around?"

"No. His parents are all the way in Twilight Town," Axel says quietly.

"Oh," Yuna smiles halfheartedly, "is there anyway I can get a hold of them?"

"I already called them," Axel answers in my place again, "They should be on their way here."

"Oh, that's good," Dr. Yuna says. "Roxas' condition has improved some, but not drastically. Internal Bleeding still ravages his body." Yuna sighs mournfully, "We'll do the best we can…but you may have to accept that our best might not be enough." She looks at me, and I can tell that she's had to deliver this type of news to a lot of people. "He may not survive."

I hear a sharp intake of breath—from Axel—and tears leak down my own face. Just when I thought I was out of tears they come back again.

Sakura hugs me tightly again.

Selphie and Tidus exchange a long glance.

Wakka just stares at his feet.

"This can't be happening…" I whisper, again and again. I see Sora, walking up to the receptionist desk, and then running over to doctor Yuna.

"Is he alright—"but he stops at the look on my face, I shake my head anyway, confirming his fears. "But…he's my…family."

"How are you related to Roxas?" Dr. Yuna asks. I hate it when she says his name, it reminds me that this IS happening, and that Roxas COULD die.

"I'm his cousin. C-can I see him?" and I can see that Sora is biting his lips, almost to the point of spilling his own blood.

Dr. Yuna shakes her head, we all do. "No. His condition is too extreme. He doesn't even have the energy to talk…" she explains all of his injuries to Sora. The brunette sits down and closes his eyes, a sort of silent command for the doctor to leave.

Dr. Yuna obeys; turning and vanishing.

"My cousin…" Sora whispers. And tears are spilling down his face. Riku is frowning deeply.

And I'm still crying…just like Sora.

I know that it's the organization that did this; I know that it's them who are causing us all this pain. It's part of their twisted game. I find myself wanting to win this game, to make them feel our pain…to drive a stake through each of their hearts.

I'm even mad at Larxene! She used to baby sit me with Axel all the time…but now…what was she doing when this all happened? Where was she? Why didn't she stop it?

And how can we win? I feel like I'm falling apart, with everything that's happening; it's a miracle that I haven't surrendered yet. The Organization is stronger then we are…they always have been. How can we win a battle that is so clearly lost?

I close my eyes against everything, the pain, the sorrow…the darkness. I can still feel Sakura's shoulder through my trance.

I open my eyes for a fraction of a second, and I see the shock of Kairi's red hair appear at the hospital entrance. But I don't feel like dealing with her stupid 'Riku' thing…no, none of it concerns me.

All that matters is Roxas.

A/N Okay, so Roxas is not okay. Don't flame me because of it, it's not like I killed him off. Yet.

ANYWAY! Still no response to "Draw Sakura", I'm hoping that SOMEONE answers this request. And also, none of you picked up on the hidden "potential spin off" of chapter 11. If you figure it out, tell me, and you can also tell me if it's a good idea or not.

Next time, on Rocky Relationships: The Organization draws in for a final strike; Namine tries to cope with Roxas' condition. Will he heal? Will Axel EVER save Larxene?

Oh and one more thing, a while ago someone (can't remember who) commented on how the "Axel-Larxene-Organization 13" story arc wasn't very "tied in" to this story. He/She said that it might belong in a different fic; because it's so apart from the other story threads (Kairi and Sora break up, Riku and Kairi problem, Namine and Roxas, and Sakura and Riku relationship". I hope that you've changed your mind, because the story threads are coming together.

For instance, Namine has been pulled into it because for one, Xemnas kidnapped her a long time ago, and two, they hurt her Roxas. Sakura is involved because, not only are they hurting her best friend Namine, but Namine's BOYFRIEND as well. Sora is in it because Roxas is his cousin, Axel wants to save Larxene, and so he needs to participate. Riku will do anything to protect Sakura (even if she doesn't need protecting) so if SHE goes after the organization, then HE goes after the organization.

The only person who isn't QUITE tied in to it is Kairi, but after all, Roxas is still a close friend, and her Ex-boyfriend's cousin. So she has a reason as well.

Oh, and Roxas' last name, Destino, means Destiny in Latin. I thought it fit.

Well, that's it for this chapter, please review peeps!
