Chapter 21: The Truth

Namine sat on her bed as she stared at her cell phone. She has been debating all morning on whether to text Roxas or not.

She had wanted to see Roxas so badly since the very first day she left the school. Now, she finally accepted that her heart belongs to the new Roxas she had found and no one else can change that. Roxas was the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

It had been killing her inside since there was no one to talk to about it. If she told Kairi, she would never let her live it down. Then she never really talked to her foster parents about anything. So nobody was around to listen to her whims.

This was the last week before Christmas, so Namine was trying to come up with a good enough excuse for him to just come see her.

"Ugh," Namine buried her face into her pillow out of frustration. She sighed out deeply and picked up the cell phone with force, "Namine, you will do this! Don't chicken out. It's not like your going to talk to him verbally…"

Namine shook her head and began to type a text message on her phone. Once she was done she read over it just to make sure she didn't miss anything important or sound stupid in any way.

After she was satisfied with what she wrote, she hit the 'send' button before putting the phone down next to her; waiting for his response.

In the Makino resident, the house was silent. Everyone had gone out somewhere and there in the room up the stairs, and to the left is where Roxas laid… asleep in the top bunk of his bunk bed.

The silence was disturbed by a loud ring. Roxas shot his head up and the top of his head hit the ceiling. "Ouch!" Roxas held his head and fell off his bed from his dizziness. He landed with a loud 'thud' on the floor.

Roxas muttered words under his breath as he reached for his cell phone on the night stand, still feeling the pain from his fall.

"Damn, this person is so dead for sending me a text, and making me wake up, hitting my head, and making me fall off the bed," Roxas looked at his phone and smiled when he saw Namine's name printed on the screen.

He forgot all about his pain and excitedly opened the message. He read it to himself, smiling with every passing word. Then he read it out loud to make sure it was really correct, and that his eyes hasn't deceived him in any way.

"Hey Roxas! I'm not done Christmas shopping, so I was hoping you would join me. Next weekend in the city at 2pm. meet me at Sunset Hill. See you then!"

"NO WAY!" Roxas stood up and try to walk, but the sheets from his bed followed him down, making his feet tangled in them.

Roxas grunted, but let his anger slide. He replied to the message on the floor while lying on his belly.

Roxas immediately typed his response afraid that Namine might change her mind about going with him.

As he typed, he read what he was writing.

"Of course Nami! I would go with you next weekend, see you then! Can't wait to see you! I love you…"

Roxas stared at his last sentence, 'should I?' He shrugged, 'What do I have to lose?' Roxas pressed the 'send' button.

After he jumped up in the air several times screaming random words. He acted as if he was a seven year old girl on a sugar rush.

--

Namine was sketching random things when her phone rang. She eagerly put down her sketchbook and picked up her phone.

Namine read it slowly and her eyes widened at the last three words that were there. She had read it again and again to make sure that was what it really said.

"I love you?" Namine mumbled, but then smiled at the thought.

Namine text back quickly not regretting one word she typed into her phone. She smiled after and continued to doodle on her sketchpad.

She felt happy, but at the same time, she had a bad feeling deep down inside right after she made her plans with Roxas.

'I feel like I know what the problem is, but I can't exactly put my finger on it…' she thought irritably. After a while, Namine decided to drop the topic and continue her day.

--

Roxas heard his cell phone ring and knew it was a text from Namine.

Roxas, you dummy, I know you mean that. I can't tell you how I feel in a simple text. So when I see you, I'll say it. See you then Roxas.

Roxas smiled and shook his head lightly. He checked his clock and changed to go into the city to pick a gift for Namine before they met a week from today.

Before Roxas left he took a sip of milk and looked at the key rack to see if the cars were still there.

"Damn, someone took the car. Guess I gotta take the bus again." Roxas sighed and checked his pockets for money and his keys before leaving his house.

At the bus stop a strange woman in her middle ages went up to him and stared at him for a long time without moving or saying a single word. She had long brown hair and pale gray eyes that almost looked as if she was blind.

Roxas felt strange inside about this woman. "Um… excuse me ma'am, but why are you staring at me like that?"

"Roxas Makino," the woman began, "you and the one who holds your heart are soon to face great pain and great joy at the same time… you will know everything after today."

Roxas stared at her in disbelief and looked at his feet quickly, "miss, I-" when Roxas looked up, the woman was gone from his sight. He looked around for her, but she had disappeared off to some place.

He scratched the back of his head confusedly. "What does she mean by that? Where the hell did she come from…?" he mumbled to himself.

Five minutes later, his bus had arrived, and once he got on, he sighed.

'Just my luck, all the seats are taken…' Roxas grabbed onto one of the hand railings and continue to ponder about what the strange woman said to him.

'What does she mean by "you will know everything after today"? Then the one who holds my heart? Does that include Namine in this? How does she know all of thi--'

Roxas's thoughts were interrupted by the loud honk of the bus. His heart began to race as he shot his head up, but it was too late by that time. The bus and the car collided into one another giving the bus a great pull ahead followed by an abrupt stop.

That stop made Roxas loose his handing on the rails and fall on the floor hitting his head first onto the bus floor…

'What… what happened? Everything around me is turning black… my head hurts… though… I'm seeing things… things I never knew existed in my life…

--

(Figures are starting to form in my mind… that blonde girl and boy… they're in my mind again…)

"Hi, I'm Roxas." He smiled warmly at the small girl in front of him.

She looked down at her feet and managed to mumble out a few words, but Roxas couldn't tell what they were.

"What did you say?" He looked at her face curiously.

"Namine took a deep breath in and looked at him. "I said my name is Namine." she smiled sweetly as her blue eyes scanned Roxas's blue eyes.

"Want to be my first friend here Nami?"

Namine stared at him for a few moments and then smiled, "sure Roxas."

(This is all… so familiar to me… those moments…)

"No Namine, I was waiting, for you… I knew you would come before I went away." Roxas dug into his pocket. He took out his checkered wristband.

"Here Nami. I want you to keep this." He handed the wristband to Namine.

"But, Roxas this is your favorite wristband, and your only one." Namine looked at the wristband that was in her hand.

"It's ok. I want you to remember me."

Namine handed her sketchbook to Roxas. "Here Roxas. I want you to have my sketchbook then."

Roxas took the sketchbook from Namine. "Though Nami, this is your only sketchbook."

"Well I want you to remember me." Namine smiled at Roxas.

(I know those people, those items, that day… Namine…)

"Daddy, Namine is my best friend forever!" A young blonde Roxas said as he sat in the back of the car. His father and him were driving on the highway heading back to Twilight Town after running their errands.

"Is that really now Roxas? Well I think your going to love my surprise for you then." His father said without taking his eyes off the road.

Roxas's eyes widened, "really?! What is it dad?"

His father chuckled, "well if I tell you, then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore now would it."

Roxas' energetic attitude faded away into a glum expression, "Aww… okay dad. Am I gonna be able to see it today?!"

"Yes Roxas, now please stay quite so I can focus on getting there. Your father is not getting any younger."

Roxas nodded and looked outside the window curiously.

Even though Roxas's foster father wasn't his real father, they both still acted as if they were one flesh and blood.

After a few minutes Roxas's father began to panic, but tried to hide it away from Roxas.

Though he could see that there was something wrong. "Dad, is there something wrong?"

"Roxas… do you have your seat belt on?" Roxas's fathers eyes were intent, but steady.

"Yes. Why?"

Roxas' father looked at the sharp turn on the road "On the count of three I want you close your eyes and think of the person that makes you the happiest. Understand Roxas?"

Roxas nodded again confused about everything that was happening to them at that very second.

"Okay Roxas… Ready… one… two… and THREE!" Roxas's father jumped out of his seat and hugged Roxas tightly as their car flew off the street and down into a ditch.

(Dad…)

Everything around Roxas was still black, but he could hear two voices. One he recognized and figured it was his mother and the other must have been a doctor's voice.

"How is Roxas going to be doctor?! My husband is dead, but… I can't lose Roxas! Please tell me he'll be fine! Please!"

"Mrs. Makino, please, calm down…"

"How can I calm down when my husband is dead and my son is severely hurt?! I just need to know if Roxas is okay!"

"Ma'am right now, we can't tell. He has a serious head injury that might of damage some parts of his brain, and he fractured a few limbs in his body."

"Oh my poor baby!"

"Ma'am, that's not the only thing wrong with him…"

"WHAT?! What else could there be?!"

"He… is in a coma, and it will be for a while. Though we also predicted that he will have amnesia once he awakens."

"Am… nesia? No… Isn't there anything you can do doctor??"

"I'm sorry ma'am…"

(I remember now… I know who I am… and what I am…)
