This is a short chapter and is meant to be coupled with another one.

But I posted it for MaixcellxNobodyXV you may thank her.

I'll write the chapter that goes with it ASAP.

It's still a Hiatus.....kind of...I guess...


Chapter 27

"What do you mean he's gone?" I say shocked.

"Ansem was asked to leave the hospital earlier today. Don't worry; we are going to get a replacement soon. Therapy sessions are going to be put on hold until then," replies the tiny nurse in front of me.

I stare down at her trying to comprehend the situation, "But-but…I had fire therapy today!"

"I'm sorry, it's been cancelled until we find a replacement," says the nurse with a smile that resembles a doll. I want to wipe that fake smile off her stupid little nurse face!

"What am I suppose to do?" I say slightly panicking. I thought I was going to get fire. I was promised fire! They can't just rip that promise away! That's not right!

"There's music therapy going on right now and a speaker will be coming in later. You can go to one of those or work on schoolwork in the lounge. Now I need to get back to my job," the nurse says turning around and briskly walking away.

I stand still and scratch my head.

I'm not much of a musician.

I can't sit through another speaker.

I haven't even touched the pile of homework I have to do.

I slowly walk back to the lounge searching my brain for something to do. I need to replace the fire. What's as good as fire?

Nothing.

I shuffle into the lounge looking around for some sort of excitement. I see people doing homework. I see people watching TV. I see people playing cards. I see people reading.

But I don't see any excitement.

I slump down on the couch feeling hopeless. I won't get fire today. I probably won't get fire tomorrow. I'll be tortured with my constant thoughts of flames. The prospect seems unbearable to me. I need a distraction.

"Hey."

I look over to see the new kid in all his grunge glory sitting next to me on the couch.

"Sup," I reply.

"Bored as fuck. How about you? What's your name again?" he asks not looking away from the TV.

"I'm Axel. They cancelled my therapy today, so I don't have anything to do either," I sigh.

"That's lucky for you. I hate therapists with their "How does that make you feel?" and "Let's get to the root of the problem." They piss me off," says Hayner scowling. I don't really agree with him. I'd much rather be in therapy right now. I don't understand why they got rid of Ansem. He was a good therapist.

At that moment Sora and his friend Riku walk in front of us blocking the TV for a second. Sora shoots me a nervous look before staring at the ground. I glare at him remembering what he said to me in the bathroom. I think I found my distraction. I do have a promise to keep to Sora. I actually keep my promises unlike the staff at this hospital. I'm not going to let him get away saying those things to me.

"That dude pisses me off," Hayner says staring after Sora and Riku.

"Which one?" I ask raising an eyebrow. Maybe I'm not the only one with a Sora problem. Although I don't know how Hayner can dislike someone after only two days here.

"The guy with the silver hair, I just don't like him. He gives off a bad vibe," he replies narrowing his eyes at Riku's back.

"That's Riku. He's here for anger problems. His dad abused him or something," I inform him. It feels weird not being the new guy anymore. I was so scared when I first got here. I wish I was as laid back as Hayner. It probably would have helped me out a lot.

"That's lame. He needs to suck it up; he got hit a few times, big fucking deal," snorts Hayner.

Hayner sounds really harsh. I've heard things about him from other patients. I don't know how many of the rumors are true, but the way he acts in Group was a little strange. He's like a completely different person now. He's not nervous or twitchy at all. Maybe he's like Demyx. Is Demyx still alive? I hope so; he was a nice guy…most of the time. I still don't understand multiple personalities. Which Demyx committed suicide? Was it like a team effort?

"What's the story on that guy?" asks Hayner interrupting my thoughts. I follow his line of sight. He's looking at Luxord playing cards. Yuffie, Alice, Marluxia, and Xigbar are watching him win hand after hand against Zexion. Zexion should know better than to play against Luxord.

"That's Luxord. He's here for drug addiction. He's the master of cheating at cards. Luxord is a cool guy. He's HIV positive though, tough break," I say watching Zexion throw his hands of cards down and storm away from the table.

"I knew it," mutters Hayner smiling victoriously.

"Knew what?" I ask confused.

"Don't worry about it," replies Hayner finally looking away from Luxord.

I'm starting to think some of the rumors are true.

I direct my attention back to the TV feeling unsettled. I'm not really watching the show. I'm busy thinking of ways to make Sora's life a living hell. I know he's terrified of dirt or anything that can hold any sort of germs. I know he hangs out with Riku a lot. He likes to take showers with clothes on. He doesn't like being told he's on drugs or being touched.

But what's something I can do to make him break?

What worst fear can I make come true? I need something that I can do without anyone finding out I did it, except Sora, I want him to know that I kept my promise.

I gaze out the window looking for some inspiration.

I see my revenge. I see it crawling up the window just waiting to carry my plan through.

I smile to myself while moving to the chair by the window.

Oh, this is going to be good.


Ugh.

CRAP! Like an hour ago I was alll "ooooh Hiatus" and I just practically planned 2 more chapters in my head.

Blah

I wrote another story.

I think it's going to be REALLY good. Like...better than this story.

I have plans...good plans for it.
