Dead and gone?

"Common… Lets get you home." Cloud said but quickly shook his head "My house…" He said to make sure Roxas didn't think he was taking him to that hell hole already. Roxas look to him and nodded "Alright… But what about my classes" He said trying not get an excuse to just stay away from them, He knew Cloud could probably see what he was trying to do but he thought it was worth a shot. "… Since when did you take serious interest in school?" He asked in a lame tone, 'God… why cant he ever just go with it…' Roxas asked himself as he thought for something to say "Since I met a few nice people… They got me talking" He told him knowing it wasn't a complete lie 'The Sora boy from art got me to talk… And he was nice… So I'm not really lying.'

He smiled to him trying to prove that he was serious. Cloud sighed heavily "Ill be here after school… Got it? And id like to meet that friend of yours" He said almost slyly as he looked Roxas in the eyes to see if that made him nervous at all. "…Alright, Ill get you to meet him after school." He said trying to sound happy about it, He didn't let his eyes give away his nervous thoughts '…I bet that kid is scared of me or hates me! God damned why cant this just be easy?' He questioned as he turned to leave, "Bye Cloud see ya" He called behind him walking back into the school now getting fearful looks from others. '…Not going to be an easy day…' He thought as he walked to his next class, Police were still scaning the building, Not letting anyone out of it.

Sora woke with a start holding his chest which was heaving for air, 'What happened? Last thing I remember is getting up and the officer asking me things…' His thoughts were interrupted by the medics going over him to check him out, "You blacked out. Don't be alarmed." The doctor gave him a bright smile that he returned, "Common, Do you need help to your class?" He asked as they were in the nurse wing of the school, He shook his head "No… Thank you… Im alright…" He said in a soft voice getting off the bed.

He took his bag that was leaning on the wall and left for his geo class, 'My head still hurts… maybe I should have asked for some advil…' He thought as he walked into his class, His teacher wasn't in the room which made the kids sit around in circles of friends talking with each other. He felt out of place with them so decided to take a seat near the back, He nearly gasped as he seen Roxas sitting in the corner seat looking out the window. He hurried over to him 'Hes ok, What happened? I thought… Did no one tell the police who That man was after!?' He thought to himself as he approached Roxas, "Hey, Mind if I sit here again…?" He asked in a small voice slightly nervous to be talking to him.

Roxas looked up to Sora with cold eyes, He was about to look away when he remembered he had to talk to him and convince him to meet his brother. "Hey, No, I don't mind." He said pulling the chair out for him giving a warm smile, He knew he was probably putting Sora off a bit by being so nice all of a sudden. "Thank you" He heard Sora say to him as he sat down, He wasn't fully paying attention to him at that moment but snapped back to reality "No problem, That was quite a fright huh?" He asked trying to make a conversation but soon realized that was a bad topic since it would raise questions for him. "… Oh… Yeah, It really was." He laughed quietly "I passed out from it, so it had to have been pretty bad" He said as he gave a sheepish smile, Roxas nodded chuckling "Yes, Defiantly bad if it can do that." He said rubbing the back of his neck unsure of how to actually make friends.

"So, What happened… For him to … do that… I mean if you don't mind me asking" He said with a nervous laugh putting up a hand in Defense. Roxas sighed though made it quiet so Sora wouldn't hear "… I ran away… Last week… in the snow storm…" He looked away from Sora looking as if he was remembering exactly how it all went down.

It was late at night and the snow was falling lightly, The small voice of the T.V was in the background of the quiet house, The house was suddenly disturbed by the sound of a belt lashing out, And the faint yelp of a boys voice. Roxas, He hadn't done the work around the house like he was told, So his father got the one thing he could use against him. His belt and fists "I told you do clean this house!! Your mother would be ashamed of you boy!" A man voice called from one of the upstairs rooms, "You wouldn't know that! I bet she would be proud I stand up to you!" Called a pained teenaged voice, The next set of sounds were toughs of running, Roxas had slipped past the man jumping down the stairs and pulling on shoes in a hurry. He opened the door of the house running out into the street not looking back as he ran, The snow now falling heavily. "Ill Get you back BOY!" Called the mans booming voice from the house door.

Sora gulped nodding "Oh… Well… I see… Is he really… going to uh..- Yes, He is going to lock me in that room and watch me beg… But ill never give him that luxury." Roxas interrupted making Sora go silent '… Oh… Wow… This guy… Is… Is … In so much… He looks like a normal teen… But… This is all happening… How does he just keep going!?' Sora thought to himself as his eyes were filled with worry. "If you want to help me… You can. Therese one thing id need you to do" Roxas said in a soft voice. "W-What is it?" Sora asked hoping it was something he could manage. "Can you come meet my brother after school and tell him you're a friend I met…?" He asked feeling foolish for it, but he needed to try. '… A friend… Wait… That's it! Alright… Wonder how I'm really helping…' He brushed the last thought off for later. "Yes of course, I wouldn't mind that!" He said smiling to Roxas. Who nodded, "Thanks…" He said with a slight sigh relieved that he could now finish the day knowing it was all good, For now anyways.
