Chapter Seven---Untitlted Track

Don't you try to take me down, don't you try to take me over,
Won't you try to break me?
Now that I've found you, situations from dark now change to grey
Disregarding my absence of memories...
Jericho falls around me and I feel that I've stayed to long

And darkness is fading in...and darkness is real...

There was a pounding on the door. A rather loud, obnoxious, unpleasant pounding. But said pounding went unnoticed by the room's occupant, a one blue eyed brunette, because of the obscene volume of the teen's stereo.

It was amazing in itself that Sora had not gone deaf by the age of 13. This fact never ceased to amaze Axel nor did it cease to piss him off. He was always trying to get the boys attention and forever failing because that cursed stereo was always on maximum,which just so happened to be 43.That's right, 43. Not 40 or 40. 43. What kind of freak sets maxium volume on 43?!

Ahem.

Sora remained oblivious and Axel only succeed in upsetting himself. Not like that was a difficult task in itself, mind you.

However, Axel remained in front of his younger brother's door exactly 23.5 seconds too long. He really should have known this by now. Or at least felt the chill run down his spine and felt the terror in his bones as he felt 7:15 approach. One would think. But alas, poor Axel did not realize his doom was near, nor did he realize that death came in the form of chicken curry.

"SORA, DINNER!!!!" It was then that Axel realized his fatal mistake. It was dinner time. Sora never missed dinner. No matter how loud his music was. There had not been a single incidence in Axel's excellent memory (he had a knack for remembering every bad thing that ever happened to him and since bad things happened to him quite a lot, he never forgot much) that Sora had ever missed his mother's call for dinner. Tonight was no exception.

With large, fear filled eyes, Axel turned to the door as it was flung open summarily and the brunette came out in a one-man stampede, trampling Axel without so much as backward glance to his poor, crippled, possibly fataly wounded eldest brother.

"Curry!!!!!!!! My favorite!!!!!!!!" Axel muttered angrily at his brother's remark as he limped his way down the stairs, looking 'extrodinarily disheleved for some odd reason', his father noticed.

"Axel sit down and stop sulking." Axel stared at his mother's back. There had to be eyes in the back of her head. There was no way she would know that without looking. No way.

"Is it Sora's fault you stood in fron of his doorway for a half an hour, when you know he never misses dinner?" Oh, right. There had been the little fact that he had screamed at Sora from the other side of oblivion (commonly refered to as The Real World) for a good 45 minutes while his mother had laughed at him from her place in the kitchen. Mother:1 Axel:0.

How come Mom always won?

"It's a Mom rule." Axel eyed her warily as she set a bowl down in front of him. Eventually the urge to eat the food in front of his won out over his concern of poisoning. Adora laughed at him from across the table, having watched him stare at his food with an uncommon uncertainty for the last 5 minutes.

"If I was going to get rid of you, I would have done a long time ago." She tapped her fork against her bottom lip in thought before smirking at her husband.

"Like that time he set the tennis court on fire?" Reno offered. She returned her gaze to the redheaded teen.

"Or the time he filled the pool with pink food coloring..." Reno looked up from his paper now and frowned in thought.

"Or the time he set the school mascot on fire while it hung from the flag pole in the football stadium...Or that time he locked himself in the school new room and ---" Axel cut him off. He prefered not to go into the News Room Incident.

"Ok! I get it!! I get it. No more, I beg you." Adora laughed.

"Mom, can I get some more?" Axel stared as Sora's sparkling clean bowl. Garbage disposals had nothing on this kid.

"Of course honey, I made extra tonight." The delighted "Ya!" that filled the room made Adora wonder if she should have mentioned that fact. She'd been planning on taking some to work tomorrow. Looking at Sora now, it looked like she'd be paying Jack in the Box a little visit.

Five am on the bathroom floor fromt he night before, do you find me dreadful?

What a shame, what a sad disgrace, such a pretty face but she's not regretful...

Am I beautiful? Am I useable?

Sora didn't like being a lone. He absolutely hated it. With a passion. But here he was again. Sitting all by himself in his room with nothing but the radio. Axel always asked him why he had he radio up so loud. Sora never told him the real reason. He'd made up some story about singing badly, but they both knew that wasn't true.

It was so the silence and the loneliness didn't seem so...there. If the radio was up high, he didn't feel so alone. It wasn't just him anymore. But Axel didn't know this. His mother and father didn't know it.

No one knew and sometimes that hurt more than the silence.
