Chapter 6: He Loves Her
That night Kairi spent alone in her bedroom feeling excuciatingly depressed. Why did Riku have to do such a horrid think like that? She felt so much hate for Riku, the other kids, and herself. Anger built inside her like boiling water. She hated them all, she had done nothing to them to deserve this, she thought. The anger and stress grew rapidly within her, she wanted it gone. She grabbed a razor of her father's from the bathroom and broke it into pieces until she had the razor blade itself left. With that, she began to push the blade into her skin, first slowly then a bit faster carving into her arm as blood gushed out. Other kids did it, why shouldn't she? Afterall, they want her to bleed, she deserved it.
For days, she had nightmares of the night it happened. It kept repeating itself in her mind, never letting her rest. Whether it was the dreams at night or the kids at school, it was left unforgotten. It followed her everywhere, so she continued to cut.
But then, one night, the dream changed. There was always a boy there with her, not Riku nor anyone she had met before, but someone else. The boy had blonde spikey hair and gorgeous deep blue eyes. He was always there standing near her. He'd sit on the bridge with her and hold her tight, wiping away the tears that streamed down her face with his hand. "Don't worry, you're safe with me.", he'd say as he whispered into her ear.
She didn't know what it was about him that made her feel so safe and out of harms way, afterall, he wasn't even real. Something about the way he held her, comforted her, made her feel loved. Soon she spend more and more time sleeping, awaiting to meet the boy in the other world. The nightmares disappeared, and she only dreamt of the boy who was always there. She had wonderous dreams of being with him. They giggled, kissed, and dreamed of forever, though she would always awake to find herself alone once more. She didn't care though, he was better than reality. Unlike anyone she knew, he loved her and knew the truth about her mother.
"You're beautiful, inside and out, I don't understand why they don't like you.", he says to her as he gazed into her radiant eyes and kissed her.
"They don't believe me, that's all, but I don't care. I have you now." she answers then gives him a kiss in return.
"I love you.", he whispers into her ear.
"I love you, too"
He takes her face into his hands and they share a final kiss.
They sit and watch the sunset as they hold hands. Kairi leans on his shoulder and gazes at the magnificent view. He turns to look at her and can't help but smile. He slips his hand through her fingures and holds her tight not wanting to let go, too scared to let go. He's scared he'll loose her like he has so many times before, they times when she has awaken and return to her own reality. He holds her hand tighter.
He loves her. She loves him... the boy by the name of Roxas.
