The trio stared at the door for a while after it had shut behind the threesome, shock being the main emotion they shared. Alex was the first to look away, hiding his tear stained face in his hands.

"Okay, that was worse than lunch," he sobbed into his palms. "He meant that. I can never see him again, how am I supposed to live without him? I love him so much that it hurts."

Hurt it did, his heart pounded harshly, threatening to burst out of his chest and run to Demyx so it would not shatter into a million pieces, something Alex would willingly allow if it were humanly possible.

Axel felt his own heart drop at the sight of his brother's heartbreak, it made him want to punch Kaoru, or kidnap Demyx so they could be together. He would have done anything to make his brother's pain go away, and hopefully his own guilt with it.

The three sat in silence for a while, Alex to upset to do anything but so, Axel to guilt ridden to speak to the teen and Roxas wondering what he could say to make it all better.

While Roxas had disliked the young redhead in the past, he found it difficult to do so now; not simply because the boy was upset, but because the more time that went on the more, he began to see how hard he was trying. It was for him and Axel he was trying so hard, Roxas could see it all now, and he appreciated it very much.

Sighing, the blonde reached over to the crying Alex and pulled him into a comforting hug.

"It'll be okay," he hushed soothingly, stroking the red hair as he did so. "You'll still see each other at school."

"I guess so," Alex agreed in an unconvinced voice. "I'm going to take a shower and hit the hay."

He slowly made his way to the bathroom, taking a long shower. He had hoped it would calm his frazzled emotions, but unfortunately, it didn't have the desired effect.

Roxas and Axel were nowhere to in sight when he left the room, thinking nothing of it the youth laid down on the couch and pulled his blanket over himself.

He was exhausted, needed sleep desperately, but it wouldn't come, his brain was working to fast for sleep to even be a possibility.

Demyx was not at school on Monday, nor was he there Tuesday, or any other day of the week, and by the time Friday rolled away it was far to say Alex was freaking out. Unable to stand it no more, he chanced a visit to his boyfriends' house. His IQ aside Alex was not stupid and rather than knocking gained entries via a tree and Demyx's bedroom window.

He was happy and relieved to see Demyx was alive and well, and that his psycho father hadn't murdered him to keep him from seeing Alex. The other boy looked happy to be seeing him also, though that joy quickly turned to a sullen expression.

"What's wrong?" Alex questioned. "Why haven't you been to school this week?"

Demyx was hesitant with his answer, and avoided eye contact as he said, "we're moving," sitting on his bed, the blonde motioned around him with his hand.

The redheads jaw dropped as he began to notice how bare the room was, only the daily needs were unpacked at that point.

"Where are you going?" he questioned, sitting next to his boyfriend, feeling close to tears.

"It's called Traverse town, it seems nice," Demyx mumbled. "It's a few hours from here."

"When are you leaving," Alex refused to let the tears spill out, he didn't want to cry in front of the other youth.

"Tomorrow, dad wants me to start school on Monday, so he wants us to have Sunday to unpack and everything," he explained.

"What about us?" the redhead wanted to know, eyes sparkling with tears unshed, it was getting harder to hold them back. "How will we be together?"

"I think that's the point of the move," Demyx told him, like it was an obvious fact, but then again, it was. "Do you want to try long distance, or should we just end it and keep the memories happy?"

'Keep the memories happy,' Alex repeated in his head. 'Does that mean he thinks that long distance won't work…it wouldn't even if we tried our hardest, it could never be enough for us to be truly happy, but I'll be miserable without him. Plus, what if his dad found out we're still seeing each other?'

"I'm going to miss you so much," the redhead stated, pulling the other into a bear hug. There was so much more he wanted to say, but thought it unfair to burden it on Demyx, neither could change the situation and speaking the words out loud would only serve in making it that much harder.

Alex had to leave shortly after that, they said their goodbyes, promising to keep in touch as best they could, and they both meant it.

The redhead paused on the sidewalk for the fourth time while on his way home. He did the same as he had done the first three times; he clutch at his body to keep it together, because if he didn't he would shatter, that is honestly how he felt, like he was shattering, well it was more like his heart was shattering and his body in turn.

A/N: This is the last chapter, I just want to say a thanks to the few who reviewed, it was appreciated. I would like to inform all the people who enjoyed this story, that I am writing a sequel, so it may have a happy ending yet.

Also, I want to apologize to the people who may have wanted more Axel and Roxas and less Alex, I didn't intend for it to be like that, it is just how it turned out.

Disclaimer: I only own Alex…disclaimers are annoying :(
