Chapter 2 start

When Roxas awoke he was greeted by the bright lights of the hospital room, the steril smell that always eminated from the hospital stung his nose as he sat up slowely, whimpering he looked down at the stitches lining his stomach. looking at the I.Vs that were placed in his wrists he was confused. "how did i...get here?" he asked himself placing his hand to his head. he remembered he was angry...for getting the wrong pills...then...he overdosed. he sighed laying back on the bed. he was exhausted, the anesthetic they gave him to numb the pain of having his stomach pumped hadnt completely worn off yet and his eyelids were heavy. "...i cant stay here for much longer..." he said warily getting up, the floor was cold to his bare feet. wincing at first to the sudden chill he got he walked to the opposite edge of the room. his clothes neatly folded on the chair. walking to them he pulled out the I.V. he was used to the pain of needles and it didnt hurt him much. walking to his clothes he began to dress until a voice at the door stopped him.

"you shouldnt be out of bed Roxas" he said, his voice huskey, Roxas froze, shaking slightly at the voice. "Ansem..." he whispered looking at the figure clad in red. "Roxas...go back to bed, you shouldnt do anything rash.." he said as he approached the young boy, his hand under his chin his deep orange eyes stared down into Roxas' blue eyes. "you might hurt yourself..." roxas turned away looking down, to be greeted by a slap. "ROXAS!" he shouted with a glare. "dont you look away when i speak wiht you boy!" he said as roxas turned back to him slowely, his blue eyes held hate for this man. the red cheek was caused by the slap, but...roxas was helpless, this man Ansem was the one person who could give Roxas what he needed, what he desperately needed, the pills. "im sorry...ill go back..." he said dropping his clothes messily back onto the chair. sitting on the bed. Ansem walked over to the boy sitting behind him, his arms around the boy's shoudlers.

"good boy...listen to me...and i might get you off the hook for having those pills in your system..." he spoke softly in his ear. "but when you get back...i have a special client...who wants to meet you..." he said with a soft chuckle before leaving the room, letting roxas be alone. Roxas sat there, unmoving for what seemed like forever, "what did he mean by 'special' client?" he whispered to himself before laying back in bed. calling the nurse she came in. "hello sir what's the problem?" she asked with a gentle smile. "my I.V...it came out..." he said softly, his eyes not meeting hers. she nodded and walked over warning him before she replaced the I.V. "sir, call if you need anything else" she said leaving the room. "alright..." he whispered back hearing the click of the door as it closed.

when she left he grabbed the I.V stand and stood up, pulling on the robe they offered him and some slippers he left the room. making sure to avoid any doctors, he never did well sitting in one place. while he walked he overheard two nurses talking. "no way! he's so young!!" "yeah i know!! he was hit by a girl who was doped up, poor kid...i hope he pulls through, he's in really bad shape...this really cute guy came to see him...he's been waiting there for him to wake up since it happened." "what room is he in?" "36B, but dont tell anyone i told you!" they giggled and one took off to the room, Roas followed, he was curious about the boy. When he reached the room he waited until hte nurse left, before he walked to the window on the door. looking in he saw a young boy, about his age laying on the bed, a mask was strapped to his mouth and nose helping him breath, and he had many I.V.s in his arms. his eyes were closed and his hair was brown.

he held some scratches on his face but nothing serious looking over the boy's body he blushed softly. under everything, this boy was beautiful, he was innocent, he could tell by how pure his skin was how thin he stayed, his face held nothing showing he was ever forced into anything. and mostly there was another boy beside him, holding his hand. the boy had silver hair and deep aqua marine eyes. he seemed a bit scared to lose the boy and this showed the boy's innocence, he was in love. "HEY!" cried a voice from behind. "you shouldnt be out of your bed sir!" said the nurse he had called who ushered him back into his room. "please sir, the doctor says you're free to go in a few days, we just need to make sure you're ok for now alright?" she asked a bit worried for him. Roxas smiled softly and nodded, someone was worried...not because they would lose profit...but for his health, that made him happy. as he layed in the bed he looked up at the ceiling sighing, he wanted to meet this innocent boy...he wanted to talk with him.

After a few days, he was allowed to walk freely through hte halls, when he saw the coast was clear he would drop by to check up on Sora. he didnt know his name, but every day he seemed to get better, he could breathe on his own by now but he still hadnt woken. this day he walked into Sora's room, the sound of the heart monitor drifted to his ears as the boy lay there, breathing deeply and slowely. Roxas smiled softly down at the boy, the other boy who had been watching him...had stopped visiting...Roxas found it strange but didnt think much of it. walking up to the boy he placed a hand on his warm cheek feeling his soft smooth skin. "dont make the same decisions as me..." he whispered as he gasped backing up the boy's eyes opened.

slowely Roxas could see sora's eyes for the first time. they stared up at the ceiling a moment, unsure where he was. Roxas looked at the boy's curious face. "y-you're in the hospital..." he said softly, the boy looked over at him a bit most questionable. "hospital?" he asked softly, sitting up painfully. "n-no!" shouted roxas pushing him back down gently. "you're badly injured...you were lucky to live..." he said blushing as the boy's deep blue eyes gazed at him. "who are you?..." he asked a unsure, laying there looking at Roxas he saw the wristband. "you're not a doctor...or a nurse...you're a patient...why are you here?" he asked licking his lips stopping them from becoming dry.

"me?...m-my name is Roxas..." he said softly looking at him smiling, he held a soft blush. Sora smiled happily and placed his hand out. "im Sora...hey Roxas?...have you seen Riku? he's about 6 foot...silver hair, bluish green eyes?" he asked smiling. roxas nodded. "he came in the first night...but then he stopped, you were in a coma for 3 days sora..." he whispered biting his lip knowing he should tell the nurse he was awake, but knowing that would end their talk. Sora seemed a bit upset by this, looking down he nodded. "oh...so...it really is over then..." he whispered to himself, the tears welled in his eyes as he held back the cry. "Sora?...what's the matter?" he asked walking to his bedside lokoing sadly at him. "dont cry..." sora shook his head. "no...he...he doesnt want me anymore..." he whispered looking down, the tears tainting the pillow. "im alone..." Roxas shook his head smiling at him taking his hand. "no! that's not true" smirking he pointed to himself. "ya got me, ill stay by your side...who knows, we might become close friends" Sora looked at roxas a bit suprised, then nodded, tears welling again. "alright...then we'll be friends..." he responded as Roxas got up, to inform a nurse sora has awoken, and leaving the conversation, to continue another day.
