Chapter 2: Caught in the rainHayner was carrying an unconscious Olette to her home. She was a having a very high fever due to the rain. She had been standing for two straight hours at the bridge, drenching herself with the strong rain. She was waiting for Roxas to come. Hayner and Pence were worried about her. She was stubborn, not wanting to leave the place; she said that she'd wait for Roxas no matter what. Is she really madly in love with him?
And where is Roxas all this time?
"Roxas" Olette mumbled as Hayner placed her on their couch. Her parents were out that night and she was left alone there. Pence returned from the kitchen with a bag of cold ice on his left hand and a thermometer on his right. He gave the thermometer to Hayner, who placed it on Olette's mouth, while Pence himself placed the bag of ice on Olette's head.
"Where could Roxas gone to?' Pence asked. Hayner clenched his fist. "That idiot! He broke his promise to Olette!" he spat. "And he was excited about the date too, but why didn't he showed up?' Pence added, looking at poor Olette, who was now suffering with a very high fever.
Olette stirred on her side and started to cry. She remembered everything that happened before she fell unconscious. It was something that made her sick, Roxas was with another girl. Who is she?
Hayner and Pence felt sorry for their friend. They didn't know what to do, so they tried o cheer her up by saying silly jokes, but even when their jokes, Olette was still unhappy and crying her heart out.
"Olette tell us what exactly happened?' Hayner asked patting her back lightly. She coughed roughly and then she felt her stomach rumble with pain. She sat up, clutching her aching stomach. Pence began to get real worried and called the doctor. Hayner sat next to her and hugged her. She was startled, but she didn't push him, the pain was too much to handle.
"Olette, I shouldn't have left you with him" Olette's eyes widened.
Hayner was her first crush; he was always there when Seifer and his group of thugs were bullying her. She still didn't know Roxas yet. Hayner will always cheer her up and bring her presents on her birthday, but when Roxas came in her life, she suddenly forgot her infatuation with Hayner and she paid more attention to the blue-eyed boy.
"Hayner, it's over for the two of us" she replied, pulling him away from her. She looked deep on his copper brown eyes and she looked down, tears falling down from her emerald orbs. "I love Roxas! I'm sorry!" she exclaimed.
Hayner watched her as she cried for the boy, whom he called his best friend. The same boy, who he entrusted Olette. He tried not to feel rejected but instead hugged her. "I know you love him, but at least let me hug you for the last time" he said.
Olette felt sorry for Hayner and she returned the hug. She didn't feel anything towards Hayner anymore; she looks up to him as a brother, a friend, her protector when Roxas was gone.
Pence returned with the doctor. He saw Hayner caressing on his arm the sobbing Olette. He smiled and cleared his throat. Hayner looked at him and blushed light pink. They both pulled from their embrace and looked away from each other's gaze.
"So let me see your illness young lady" the doctor smiled as he approached the brunette, who was now looking pale.
After a few examinations, the doctor smiled and looked at the two boys, who were looking quite concern. "Boys you have nothing to worry about, she just has some flu that's all! It'll be gone for a few days if she'll take some medications and proper rest" the kind doctor exclaimed, giving Hayner Olette's medicines.
"If there's no luck with her sickness, call me" he said and Pence led him to the front door.
Hayner looked at Olette, who was lying on the couch, hands on her stomach and deep in thoughts, eyes looking outside the window. He sat down next to her again and smiled at her.
'Don't worry! I'll give Roxas a lesson" he didn't mean it literally.
Olette looked at him and smiled. "Just don't kill him" she laughed weakly, Hayner nodded, patting her head softly. "Get some rest!" he said. Olette smiled for the last time before drifting off to a deep slumber.
Flashback…
It was getting late that night. Olette looked at her watch and sighed. Roxas was now late for about an hour. She decided to take a stroll at the park to clear her mind. After walking a bit, she settled herself on a bench beside the fountain and watched two couple, getting lovey dovey. She smiled, wishing it was her and Roxas. She stood up and walked back to the bridge, but still no sight of Roxas.
"I better look for him" she said to herself before rushing up to the town's square. When she reached the busy part of the town, it began to rain heavily. She looked for a place to settle for a while and found no empty space…
As she was running from the rain, she passed by an old antique shop, something made her gasped and stopped on her tracks. It was Roxas; he was hugging a girl her same age with blonde hair like his but lighter, though the girl's face wasn't revealed.
She wanted to approach them and slap Roxas' face but her body couldn't move. She felt numb on her legs. She cursed the two of them.
"Roxas! You idiot!" she shouted, making Roxas looked at her worriedly and the girl parted from him, looking as far from Olette's angry face.
"Olette! Wait!" he called out, but Olette started to run away from him. He swore he saw her crying. He felt sad and angry all of a sudden. She looked at the girl at his back, she was smiling at him.
"Roxas! Please stay with me for a while! I missed you!" she said, but Roxas looked away.
"Look Namine, we only met a few months ago! I don't have any feelings for you anymore! I'm really sorry!" Roxas exclaimed and started to chase after Olette, who disappeared from the crowd.
"ROXAS!" Namine called out but he was long gone.
OOO
Olette stopped in front of the bridge. She clenched both her fists and she fell on the ground, pounding at it real hard. She wanted to explode; she cannot contain her emotions anymore. It was breaking her apart.
"Roxas you dummy! I hate you! I hate you!" she blurted out angrily. She began to cry uncontrollably, she felt hotness enveloping her fragile body. She looked at the road in front of her eyes, it was blurry. Her head was aching so much, so is her heart. She saw two black figures coming towards her and she fell to unconsciousness from stress. The last thing she remembered after falling through the darkness was the cute face of Roxas… saying goodbye to her…
