Chapter Twenty-Six
It All Makes Sense
By: Gatorgirl1999
"Roxas passed away two months ago."
"W-what?" I gave a weak laugh. "T-that's impossible…" Roxas's mother gave me a sad look. I turned to Axel. "Axel… what's going on?"
He looked into my eyes for a minute and then rubbed the back of his head. "Naminé… I thought you knew. I'm sorry."
"T-this… this is just a joke… right?" Everyone was quiet. "No! Roxas isn't dead! There's no way!"
"Naminé…" Axel grabbed my arm.
"No!" I yelled, jerking away from him. "This isn't funny you know! You think this is funny?" I was crying now.
"Naminé… this isn't a joke." Axel told me. I put my hands over my ears. "Naminé-"
"Shut-up!" I fell to the floor. "You're all lying!" It's impossible. IMPOSSIBLE. Roxas can't be dead… he just can't. This isn't real. This isn't happening…
"Naminé… it's okay. I know you're upset about this, but-" Roxas's mother started. I didn't want to hear another word. I couldn't. I pushed past them and ran up the stairs and down the hall to Roxas's room. I flung open the door.
"ROXAS!" I screamed his name. "Roxas where are you!" I frantically searched his room.
"Naminé he's dead!" Axel yelled, coming up behind me through Roxas's door.
"Shut up!" I cried. "HE'S HERE! He has to be!" I ran over to Roxas's bed, ripping off the sheets.
"Naminé!" Axel grabbed me and flung me away from his bed. "He's dead!" It was then that I realized how I truly felt about Roxas. I loved him. I loved him so much… and now that he was gone… I couldn't live anymore. I couldn't take it. I wouldn't. All the pictures I had… I deleted them. All of them. How could I be such an idiot? All I had left of him was the keychain and the ring. I ripped myself from Axel's arms and ran out of the door, down the stairs and to my house. "Naminé! What the hell!"
I swung my front door open. Please tell me I still have them. Please!
"Naminé?" My father looked up at me from the kitchen, a newspaper in his hands. Before I could run away he said something that caught my attention and caused me to stop. "Your friends are here."
I looked up and stopped in my place. "What?" He went back to his newspaper, not saying anything else. I ran up to my room and flung my door open. Kairi and Olette sat on my bed, chatting away; they looked up as I entered the room, breathing hard. "What are you guys doing here?"
Kairi smiled and laughed. "We came to see you silly!"
"How come you didn't come before?" I asked her.
She glanced at Olette nervously, causing her to stand up. "Because you weren't feeling well of course." She gave a weak laugh.
"Why are you guys acting so weird?" I questioned, stepping forward.
"What do you mean?"
I walked up behind them, my eyes scanning my white jewelry box. I remembered when I had put my ring in it four months ago. Wait a minute. "Roxas passed away two months ago."
"How did Roxas die?" I suddenly asked. Something flickered across their faces.
"He died in the cave. His waist… remember? He was bleeding. He lost too much blood and he was dead when we found you." Kairi replied slowly.
I gave her a weird look. "That's impossible. Axel said he died two months ago. That was four." Panic crossed their faces.
"Are you sure he said two? I'm sure he meant four… right?"
"What's going on?" I demanded. "Where's Roxas?"
"He's dead…" Kairi was shaking, slowly backing away to the door. I opened my jewelry box. It was empty and my ring was gone. But I left it here. No one saw me put it here. I looked over at them.
"Who are you?" These weren't my friends. What is this place? "Where am I? This is a dream… isn't it?" I was laughing now. How could I be so stupid? "That's it! IT'S A DREAM. So if I kill myself, I'll just wake up right?"
"Naminé… w-what are you talking about?" Olette said, walking towards me. "This isn't a dream. This is real." She extended her hand to me but I slapped it away.
"Stay the HELL away from me and tell me where Roxas is!" I demanded. Olette grinded her teeth.
"He's dead Naminé. I told you."
"Who the hell are you guys? Where are my real friends?" It all made sense. It all clicked. This wasn't real. I was asleep. I just needed to wake up. I looked over to my desk and grabbed a pair of scissors. I pointed them right above my heart.
"Naminé what are you doing?"
I looked up and gasped. "Roxas? What are you doing here? I thought… I thought you were dead-"
He walked over to me and extended his hands. "Shh… just give me the scissors Nam."
I stood in front of him, shaking. "Roxas is that really you?"
He nodded. "Of course." I lowered my arms. "Now hand me the scissors."
Wait! No! This is a dream! He isn't real. "You're not Roxas!" I screamed, thrusting the blades deep into my heart.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
I screamed and quickly sat up in my bed sweating. My alarm clock blared with annoying beeps and slammed my hand on it, causing it to stop. I clutched my chest and looked down. No blood. No wound. No scissors. I quickly got up and ripped open my white jewelry box. Inside laid the ring Roxas had given me. I looked frantically for my phone and I found it under my bed and flipped it up. My keychain was hanging on the back and all my pictures were still in it. What? Was it really all a dream? I looked up at my clock. 6:09 A.M. But which parts where the dream?
~Kingdom Hearts~
"DAD!" I ran to his room and shook him.
"Huh? What? What's going on?" He yelled, shooting up in his bed.
"What's today?" I demanded.
"What?" He looked over at the clock, confused. "Naminé… it's 6:12 in the morning!"
"What's today!" I demanded again.
"Uhh…. Saturday." He groaned, lying back down in his bed.
"No! The date! What's the date?" I asked, shaking him.
"Uhh…. March 15th? I think." I stopped shaking him and he fell back onto the bed.
"So it's not June?" I asked, getting excited. He gave me a weird look.
"No… are you okay Naminé?" He asked me in a worried tone.
"I'm GREAT DAD! THANK YOU!" I said, kissing him and running back to my room. I flipped open my phone and dialed Roxas's number. I waited anxiously for him to answer.
"Hello…?" A weak voice answered.
"Roxas!" I screamed through the phone. I was shaking from pure joy now.
"What… Naminé… it's like 6 in the morning…" He groaned from the other line.
"Can I come over?" I asked.
"What?"
"Can I come over?" I asked again.
"Uhh… sure… why-?" I hung up before he could finish his question. I stuck my phone in my pajama pocket and ran out of my door and to Roxas's house, still in my PJs and barefoot. I was unsure to ring the doorbell due to it being so early in the morning. I opened the door, it for some reason being unlocked. Roxas was sitting on the bottom of the steps, half asleep.
"What's going on Naminé-" He started weakly. I interrupted him by glomping him and kissing him. He kissed me back, still confused. "What's wrong?"
"I love you Roxas." I said, holding onto him tight.
"Did you have a bad dream?" He asked me, rubbing my back.
"The worst." I said, burying my face in his chest.
