Chapter Seven

[Demyx's PoV

"Cloud, good to see you, sir." I hung my head; I feel his glare sweeping over me.

"Good to see you two looking all clean and dressed up, what's the occasion?" Cloud asked.

'If Cloud finds out where we're going…then we are in serious trouble.' I almost started hyperventilating, heart pounding.

"We're going over to Namine's." Roxas cut in before I could start freaking out like a chicken with its head cut off.

"Oh really?" Cloud asked, narrowing his blue eyes. I saw Roxas clench his fist and straighten his posture.

"Yes we are." He snarled through gritted teeth "Come on Demyx."

"I gotta pull on my shirt!" I whined Roxas stood by the door; I gave Cloud a look and quickly pulled on my white shirt and red tie. I scrambled over to Roxas and nodded at Cloud. "See you sir."

"I'll stop by Namine's to pick you boys up." Cloud smiled, Roxas bared his fangs.

"Fuck off." Roxas snarled, Cloud glowered at him, I just stood there…getting very nervous.

"Don't talk to me with such language." Cloud said, scraping Roxas' cheek. "You just might regret it."

Roxas pulled me by the hand, out the front door. "Bastard…one day, Demyx, we'll be out of his control." Roxas said, I blinked and frowned.

"Let's just get to the funeral." I said, getting a bit nervous 'be calm…be calm!' I took a deep breathe.

"Sounds like a plan." Roxas said, stepping into the shotgun of the black Volvo.

"Guess I'll drive…" I sighed, slamming the door after getting into my seat.

"Hn." Roxas replied.

I know that you're hiding things

Using gentle words to shelter me

Your words were like a dream

But dreams could never fool me

Not that easily

I acted so distant then

Didn't say goodbye before you left

But I was listening

You'll fight your battles far from me

Far too easily
