Chapter Twenty-One

The memories I hold inside

By: Gatorgirl1999

"What. The. Hell?" Kairi grunted.

I stayed quiet.

"Okay, I know Roxas has done some bad things but this has to be the worst!" She yelled, throwing a pillow at the wall. I told Kairi about what had happened and she came over immediately, hitting the ceiling. "I'm really sorry for forcing you to see him."

She sighed.

I flipped open the phone Kairi had given back to me.

"And why the hell was he kissing that Xion girl? I knew she was up to no good!"

A small tear escaped my eye and I wiped it away before Kairi could see. I looked at the 290 pictures my phone held.

View?

Yes.

Erase?

Yes.

Erase all pictures?

I hesitated.

Yes.

All pictures erased. I closed my phone. Kairi continued to rant on how terrible a person was and what a bitch Xion was.

"Don't you agree Naminé?" She asked me. "Naminé?"

"Huh? Uh yeah." I said quietly. I didn't even hear half of what she had just said. I stared out my bedroom window. I took out the note I had placed in my pocket earlier.

"What's that?" Kairi questioned, tilting her head slightly.

"Nothing important." I said just above a whisper, ripping it in pieces and throwing it on the floor.

Kairi didn't say anything.

"Naminé!" Olette yelled, slamming the door to my room against the wall. "Guess what?"

"Olette. It's not really a good time to-" Kairi started.

"No! It's important!" Olette interrupted.

"It's gonna have to wait-" Kairi sighed.

"NO! It's really important!" She interrupted again.

"Stop interrupting me!" She yelled at Olette, smacking the top of her head.

"Okay, ow! And it is important! I found something!" She said, jumping up and down.

"What is it?" I asked her quietly, shifting a bit from my position.

"I found it by the lake in the sand. It looks exactly like the one Roxas gave you!" She told us, a small keychain dangling from her outstretched hand. I stared at it.

"Oh my god." Kairi whispered, taking it from Olette and flipping it over. "To Naminé. Je t'aime. I love you."

Something was tugging at the back of my mind. Something I was supposed to remember. Something important… Something I needed to know. Kairi tossed it to me. I rolled the small object back and forth in my hand.

"Naminé?"

"I can't believe it." I whispered.

"Naminé?"

"Come on Naminé? Pleassse?"

"Roxas!"

"Roxas, it's you!"

"Did you kiss?"

"Fine! But I'll just tell Hayner that you still sleep with a stuffed animal!"

"Naminé!"

"Holy crap Naminé! You scared the shit out of me!"

"I knew you liked him!"

"I promise I'll never leave you again…"

"I was serious when I said I loved you you know."

"Naminé, are you okay?"

"Is that a hickey?" He yelled. I slapped my hand to my neck.

"Move over."

"Be careful!"

"Are you cheating on me?"

"Just one more box, I swear." He laughed.

"Sweetie," She began, crossing her arms, "Roxas never stopped loving me and he will never stop loving me. He'll realize it soon enough."

"I remember…" I stared at it again.

"Huh?"

"I remember!"

"Seriously?" Olette squealed.

"Oh my god. I can't believe it. How could I forget?"

"Naminé…" Kairi began, putting a hand on my shoulder, "It wasn't your fault."

"It was her! It was Xion! She threw my… the keychain Roxas gave me into the river! I had to get it! I can't believe its okay. I thought I'd never see it again." I squeezed Olette. "You're amazing Olette!"

"Uhh… thanks." She blushed.

"I have to tell Roxas!" I stopped.

"Naminé…"

"I… forgot. He… and Xion…" I cried a little inside. "I know I forgot but why would Roxas…"

I shook my head.

"Naminé… Boys are all jerks. Even Roxas. It's just-" Kairi started.

"There's no way." I said.

"Naminé…"

"He would never kiss Xion. Something's up." I told her, putting on a coat. "I have to see him."

"Wait. Naminé. I know Roxas is a good guy and all but what if he-"

"Kairi." I stopped her. "I trust him. I know Roxas better than anyone. There has to be an explanation."

"But what if there isn't Naminé? What if there isn't an explanation?"

I just looked at her.

"There is. There has to be." I whispered.

~Kingdom Hearts~

"Oh Naminé. Back again?"

"Yeah." I answered softly. "Is Roxas home?"

"Oh. Actually, he just left. I think he went looking for you." His mom said.

"Ohh…"

"You can wait inside if you want." She told me, letting me in once more. "You ran out the last time. Is everything okay?"

"Oh yeah." I lied. "I just… forgot something." I gave a smile and she returned one.

"You can wait up in his room if you want." She says, walking down the hallway back to the kitchen.

"Okay." I responded, slowly climbing up the stairs and setting my coat down. Axel wasn't home either. I looked around Roxas's room. It looked the same as it had a few months ago. Roxas's room was pretty large and for some reason, I had a sudden urge to lie on the floor. I laid my small body on the center of the floor under the fan.

I watched the fan spin around continuously. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket but I ignored it. I turned over on my stomach after getting dizzy from staring at the fan so long and closed my eyes. I was tired. So much had happened these past months. The keychain was still in my hand and I squeezed it, drifting slowly into a peaceful sleep I hadn't had in months. Memories floated in my head, happy to be back in their place. I love you Roxas…
