Warning: In this chapter we gots, angry father, father who no one likes,father who is mean to Axel, father who is etc. (they are all the same person too xD) and then we got some lovely angsty here and there. This chapter is also mainly about Axel's family (mother, father and him) and then little friends appear at end. Yay!

I ran inside the house in a futile attempt to get away from my raging father. The limo door slammed shut, and the driver quietly went into the backyard to use the back door. Leaving the front door open, I continued through the front room as maids and butlers went scurrying away.

"-and those wagon wheels are going in the trash! What is wrong with you? Don't you understand-" I continued to try to tune him out, but it didn't work once he grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.

"Are you listening to me, boy? You are not leaving this house to do anything. You are now going to be home schooled. No one is coming over! You are grounded for an undetermined amount of time! Who do you think you are? Thinking you can sneak off like that?" His hands tightened their grip on my shoulders and I looked away from him.

"Don't turn your face from me!" His hand grabbed my face and pushed it back to face him. "And when did you get those marks? What are you part of a gang that you have to get tattoos under your eyes? I should have those removed, pull them off myself. What's wrong with you? A lot of things I can tell you! I said look at me!" I felt the sting across my face as it was hit back towards him.

"I cannot believe you are my son. What a waste of my time; just like your mother."

"Don't say that about mom!" I shouted at him and pushed him away, glaring. "I don't care what the hell you think of me or what you do to me, but don't say anything about mother!" I growled at him.

"What will you do about it boy? You obviously are such a pansy that there isn't even an inch of muscle anywhere on your body. I can crush your arm with my bare hands. Do you still want to try something?" He was right; he could crush my bones in an instant, that's how obsessed he is about weight lifting and training. I was only able to knock him down before because he was so off guard. Not being able to think of anything to say, my mouth stayed slightly gaped as I averted my eyes to the floor. He began to laugh and walked over to me.

"This obviously would not have happened if I had stayed home. Just like anyone in this house, I can't rely on any of you morons. Your mother even encourages this outrageous behavior." He snorted and walked passed me, but not before socking me a good one that made me fall to the floor. He continued up the stairs in a haze of anger and I heard him stomp all the way upstairs to slam his door. Getting up I held my head in my hand. Better go get some ice for my face.

Lying face down on my bed, I could hear him pulling the phone lines out from the wall that lead to my room. It appears as if there will be no internet or home calls for me. Rolling over to stare at the ceiling, I sighed and closed my eyes. What a disaster.

Of course, I thought I was going to be pounded into a bloody pulp; I was used to that type of thing from him. And I knew there was no way I could stop him; I was not where near strong enough to do anything about it so all I could do was to just take it. But Namine was hysterical. When I had gotten there after a furious outburst from my dad, he went to the car outside. Namine continuously apologized and talked nonsense that I couldn't understand. She seemed pretty upset and afraid that something horrible would happen to me. Too bad I couldn't even call her to tell her that nothing 'bad' had happened to me.

I won't be able to tell Roxas anything either. I have absolutely nothing that I can use to communicate with the outside world. My meek mother had told my father about all the communication devices that I had, afraid that he might hit her. Pulling the pillow out from under my head, I threw it across the room and sighed angrily. He's such an ass, but he's good at being one. He can control everyone around him, which is probably why he's this big shot CEO of some grand company that I don't care what it is. I don't get how my mom ever agreed to marry him, unless it was some arranged marriage or she was too frightened to refuse.

I heard a knock on the door, and instantly looked at the clock. Who would be knocking on my damn door at one in the morning? Growling, I rose from my bed and swung the door open, ready to flip off the maid or butler that had decided to bother me. Instead, I was greeted by my mother who instantly started to sob when she saw me. Surprised I stepped away from the door and let her come inside.

"Throw them away!" A bunch of bottles were shoved at my chest, over spilling her hands and onto my floor. Blinking, I looked at her questioningly. Throw away her pills?

"Take them. I don't care what you do with them, just take them away!" I quickly put out my hands before she dropped them all on the floor.

"Mom, what's wrong?" I tried to sound as comforting as possible since I had never the need to comfort anyone, let alone her in the first place.

"I don't want to be stuck in an illusion of happiness anymore, I want a better life, and I want one that matters." She wiped the tears away from her eyes as they widened with an idea. "Let's run away together! Somewhere he can't find us. Then we can be happy, can't we? Right, Axel? We'll be happy together, and we can have fun all the time…" She trailed off and I put a hand on her shoulder. She was such a small woman, and now as she is crying she looks even smaller.

"Mom, are you okay? Maybe you should have one or two. You're not acting right-"

"I'm acting all right! I'm fine now that I'm not drugged up on those things! You know why I first started taking them? Your father told me that I should go see a shrink because I wasn't 'normal.' He played on the fact that I was so dim-witted and timid to get me to take those! Those pills so that I would always seem so happy. I thought I was happy, oh yes, because I was getting 'help.' I didn't need help, Axel, I tell you I didn't!" She was near shouting now and I was afraid that father might wake up.

"Shh mom! There's a reason for this isn't there? I don't think you would have an outburst like this, even if you were on meds." I asked, knowing there was indeed something more wrong than usual for her to act up like this. This was just…weird.

"I don't want to talk about it." She said sternly and looked at the floor. Rolling my eyes, I felt as if I was dealing with an emotional child.

"Mom, I can't help you if you come in her sobbing and then shut yourself up as soon as I ask what's wrong."

"I said I don't want to talk about it!" She hissed and started to rub her arm, with a distant look in her eyes.

"Wait…he didn't…did he?"

"I said I don't want to talk about it!" She snapped back, having a tone in her voice that sounded like "I am your mother, listen to what I say." That was a tone I hardly ever heard from her. She sighed and looked back at the floor.

"Hey," I put both my hands on her shoulder now. "Wanna go burn something? I still have my stash of lighters that the asshole didn't find." I put on a smile, but knew it looked horribly fake. She looked up and smiled weakly.

"I guess I could try it. I've always wondered why you find it to be so much fun."

I wasn't allowed out of the house on Monday. My father told me that I wasn't going to school today, and I couldn't figure out why until it hit me. Today was the first game of the Blitzball finals. Roxas would be in it, and he didn't want me having any contact with him, not at school, not outside. Would he do the same thing tomorrow?

But I wasn't going to let that stop me. I was going to see Roxas today, no matter what. So an hour before the finals were scheduled, I tried every escape plan I could think of. But everything was locked up tight, and the butlers and maids were told to not let outside the grounds. They even escorted me to the bathroom once or twice. Going out the window didn't even work.

I sat on my bed with my head in my hands after the last attempt to get out. I had gotten stuck in the air vents. A knock on the door and some mumbling from a grumpy butler told me it was time for dinner.

It was two hours since the game had started. I didn't know what to do, since I had told Roxas that I would be at every single one of his games. Roxas would take my word for it, and if I didn't show today, everything would go downhill. The fact that I promised and the fact that Roxas would go into 'spazz' mode as I called it, was not a pleasant thought. He would be so determined to wait it out and see if I would come, even after Sora, Cloud, Riku, and even Leon would try to persuade him home. And he'd wait and wait, until he finally would realize I wasn't coming. Then he'd be all alone, and Roxas plus being alone equaled panic.

When I got downstairs, I saw my mother and father sitting opposite each other; my father eating like the pig he was, and my mom sitting quietly as she waited for me. She looked a bit weary, and slightly out of it; either because we had stayed up the whole night because she was having so much fun lighting the paper on fire or because she hadn't taken any pills. She told me earlier this morning she had thrown them in the garbage.

We ate in silence, until my father got up to throw out the scarce leftovers on his third plate. He got to the garbage, opened it and turned around violently.

"What are all these bottles doing in here?" My mother froze in her seat and I did too. Apparently, she had not thought about where to throw them out and had put them in the most used garbage pail in the whole house. "Did you not hear what I said? I said what are all these bottles doing in here?" He repeated himself as he started towards the table.

"I threw them out." She answered shakily. I watched my father as he got right to the table and narrowed my eyes.

"What? Don't you know how much those cost? You need those!" The rage building in his voice, he threw his hands into the air.

"No, I don't need them." She tried to even her voice out but she refused to look directly at him, and instead at the plate.

"You listen here missy! I'm telling you, you need those. You're just not normal if you don't have them. You're as cracked up as a loon without those, and you're going to throw them out? Are you that stupid?"

"Don't call-!" I shut my mouth when mom put her hand up to silence me. She took a deep breath and stood up.

"I do not need those, dear. I suggest that you believe me, because you aren't even home half the time to know what I'm like. So you either stop bothering me about taking them, or you start taking them." She stared right at him, catching him a bit off guard and he averted his eyes for a second.

She seemed quite amazed at herself too, as she nodded her head as if she was agreeing with herself. I on the other hand, was quite amused at this sudden display that my mom was giving. I watched as my father straightened himself, getting ready to shoot something back at her but she put her hand up in front of his face.

"I don't want to hear it. Now if you want to start something, I suggest you don't. Because…because…" She trailed off. "Because I- I'll…"

"You'll do what?" He started to laugh and he swatted her hand away. My mother looked at the floor. But then she took a deep breath looked back up, and slapped him across the face. I couldn't help but feel as if I was part of a strange T.V. show, no matter how serious this was at the moment. My mouth just hung slightly open and he looked shocked at her, she looked equally shocked at herself too.

"…tha-that's what I would do!" She stuttered but straightened herself out. "Now if you don't mind me asking, until you can be a bit of a…a gentlemen then I want you out of this house." I could hear the confetti falling in my head and if there really were little people in my head, they would have been partying. I could see he was trying to think of something to say, until we all finally noticed that we had an audience of maids and butlers who were silently watching with smiles on their faces. When he looked at them they averted there eyes and started to act like they were cleaning; some even started to whistle. Angrily, he knocked over his chair and stomped out of the room, most likely to go outside.

"Oh that felt great!" My mother said giddily and started to clap. I raised an eyebrow at her as she turned to me. "I feel the power!" She yelled and started to dance around, effectively getting some of the maids to dance with her.

"Axel, dear!" She stopped dancing to address me, even as I stood there still a bit surprised at what had just happened. "I have decided that, I won't let him control me anymore. This is my house just as much it's his, and if he wants to be here, he has to obey my rules too. Or…or…" She stopped, thinking of what could happen.

"He'll get a time out?"

"Close enough! Now, if I knew any better, you have a game to go to? And one of the player's names is Roxas? Hmm?" She grinned.

"Oh shit, but it might be over already and-"

"Well, you'll never know unless you go and see, now will you?" She dangled my motorcycle keys in front of me. She dropped them into my hand and I grabbed them, racing to go outside.

"Oh yeah, thanks mom." I smiled and she started to dance around again.

"Oh shush! Hurry up or you'll be very late!"

I don't even think going over the speed limit helped at all. I got pulled over, and as he was talking to me about the dangers of speeding, his radio started to scream about an armed robbery. He looked quite tired already, and just waved me away.

When I got there, the stadium lights weren't even on. I flipped open my phone and dialed Riku's number.

"Yeah?" He answered, sounding very tired.

"Riku, when did you guys leave?"

"Leave? Leave what?" He asked.

"The game, Riku, the blitzball game!" I answered angrily, what was wrong with him?

"I didn't go Ax, I got the freakin' flu. I wasn't at school all day. In fact you just woke me up. Didn't you go to the game?"

"No," I answered even more annoyed at what was happening. "My father went on a rampage yesterday when he found out I wasn't at Namine's." I heard a slight groan from Riku. "He wouldn't let me out of the house today; he didn't want me around him. My mom just slapped some sense into him, so I don't know where he went. I only just got here, hoping someone would still be here."

"Wow Axel, that's some hell of a day. Sora was by earlier, but that was before the game. He was here with Roxas too, but Roxas just stayed outside and looked sulky. I guess I know why now. Hold on, let me call Sora." I heard him dial in the number and then the sound of a phone picking up.

"Hello?" Sora sounded a bit frantic, but tried to cover it over.

"Sora? Where's Roxas?" I butted in before Riku had time to say anything.

"Oh it's you." Sora's voice was angry, and I was caught off guard. "You know what happened? Roxas has gone missing. I don't know where the hell he went because he was so upset that you didn't come to school today. He thought he had done something because you left him so suddenly yesterday. And then he told me 'well he should come later because he said he would be at all my games.' But guess who never showed, Axel?" Sora snapped at me.

"Sora, chill!" Riku interjected, trying to stop the brunette from chewing off my head. "Some things happened and Axel wasn't able to go. Family problems, you understand right? You have family problems with your parents too, Sora. Don't forget all those times we couldn't hang out because you were going to go to your mother's. So give Axel a break, okay?" Sora stayed silent on the other side, except for some muttering I couldn't understand.

"So you don't know where he is?" I asked softly.

"No, no one does." He tried to keep his voice even. "You know, today sucked pretty badly for him. Namine is going to move-"

"Namine's moving?" Both Riku and I exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah, she told us all today. She brought in your project today Axel. She finished it over the weekend so she could get it in before the due date." So that's what she was doing up so late… "Namine has been a close friend of his for a long time, so he wasn't too happy about that. But that was first period, and he wanted someone to talk to. You, Axel, he only wanted to talk to you. He thought you were just late, but you didn't show the whole day. Not even at the game. I don't blame him for disappearing when the one person he knew wouldn't leave him did leave him."

"But it wasn't my fault!" I snapped back.

"He doesn't know that, does he?" I opened my mouth and then shut it again. Sora sighed from the other side. "It's getting late. Cloud says that it would be easier to find him in the morning when it's bright outside. Although it's supposed to start-" Sora paused. "Well it is raining now." It was raining. I felt the cold drops start to fall on my head as I stood silently with the phone to my ear.

"Good night Axel. Goodnight Riku." I couldn't help but notice the malice he put in my name and the gleeful way he said Riku's.

"Good night Sora." I stayed silent, and Sora hung up the phone. "Axel, you all right?"

"Of course I am," I snarled into the phone.

"Hey, tomorrow he's bound to show up for school. He has to play in the finals right?" I nodded, knowing the Riku knew I was nodding even if he couldn't see it. "Okay, well, night Axel. Get home safely."

"'K." Riku hung up the phone, and all I heard was the dull buzz from the phone. Stuffing it back into my pocket, I walked back to my motorcycle through puddles and the now pouring rain. The weather matched my mood, which was great because it was at the wrong time. Couldn't it match my mood when I was happy? I started up my motorcycle and sighed. Things were suddenly not looking too good.

Okay first things first:

This chapter was mainly about Axel and family why? If you didn't already figure it out, there is no possible way the father could just go away. I mean, he's not like a criminal or anything, so the police can't take him, and I'm not just going to throw him into a plot hole. I love my evil little creation of meaness. I had him be extra mean in this chapter because otherwise, the mom wouldn't have eventually gotten 'fed up' with it/ broken down/ whatever else you would like to call it. Everyone's got their limits, and so that's what happened. I bet a lot of you wanted to see Axel pummel him into the ground, but do you really think he could do that? Maybe, but I find it more dramatic that Axel can't do to much because his father is more powerful than him

And Namine's reason for staying up late has been revealed! See? Everything ties in.claps I am getting good at this lolNamine has to move, because i want her to and because, it fit the story? I mean it makes it bad if your friend is going to move, and then your new 'boyfriend' just ups and leaves you the whole day when you need to talk to him becaue your so upset. mmhmm...

well that's it for this chapter, you can expect lots of action in the next chapter. And I mean action both ways ;D hehe And the story is obviously winding down to the end, so... yeah. Don't hurt me? >.>;;;;

So review please! And now for my lovely line: Where is Roxas? Will Axel find him?What will they do about Namine? (Does anyone really care about her? lol I do x) )Will there be some action for everyone to love? Find out next time, on GD!
