Disclamer: I do not in any way/shape/form own Kingdom Hearts, Square Enix does. And if I owned it, things would be A LOT different. xD

I must also take 1/2 of the credit for this story, seeing as how my friends on this site (Pehnguinz and EbonyKittyCat552) helped me with A LOT of it. xD [I love you guys…] Although, it IS a bit mean cause I am the one writing the story.. Oh well. xD [I love you anyway…]

EbonyKittyCat552 and Pehnguinz : My epic Editors and Muses.

Oh yeah... they aren't THAT mean. They're pretty awesome. :D

ON WITH THE STORY!

____________

~Roxas's POV~

Wait, Axel cares? He really, really cares? No... That's a lie. He doesn't care…

The whole time he held me I doubted him. I doubted his words, his tears, even his embrace. I wanted to curb-stomp him, make him lay on the ground...he had to be lying, right...? I don't believe him. I just tried to commit suicide and here he is, LYING to me and expecting me to believe it?

What if he isn't lying…?

But he has to be…

What if he isn't?

But…

He means something to you. If he didn't you wouldn't be crying...

I didn't even notice my tears falling, my eyes had been closed. How long have I been in Axel's embrace? How long has it been since Mom and Sora left?

My mind raged on, thinking about whether Axel really cared about me. He never let go of me...he's so warm. My head feels so light...why is it so hard to keep my eyes open?

"Goodnight… Roxas"

~(Axel POV)~

"Goodnight… Roxas."

He fell asleep in my arms...he feels so cold. My tears just keep flowing; I didn't want to stop them...they were being shed for him. Why was he so important to me? He's just...there, you know? He kept me company for a while and I really like him...and he's cute, too.

The door opened and Sora came in. "Axel, you have to leave now, everyone does. The nurses said that visiting hours are over."

Sora looked like shit. Honestly. His eyes were all puffy and bloodshot. He must've been crying this whole time.

I kissed Roxas on the forehead before leaving. I hope he gets well soon, otherwise I might go crazy without him at home. It's funny, how I call it home...I wonder if Roxas calls it that too...

______________________________________________________________________

I went to the parking lot only to hear yelling and screaming. It was Cloud: Roxas's dad.

"How the HELL could you let this happen to our son, Aeris? Didn't you LOOK to see how he was? Didn't you EVER check up on him?" he yelled. I've never seen him like this before. His voice was reaching the pitch of insanity, his eyes were bloodshot and his hands were shaking. Aeris looked horrible, her hair tied back loosely and her eyes the color of my hair.

"Dad, you shouldn't yell at Mom," Sora whispered.

"WHO TH-"

"Hey, Cloud, it's no one's fault; just calm down." I had to get that across to him. "It wasn't anyone's fault. We didn't see the signs. We couldn't stop him," I whispered. His eyes just glazed over as he muttered something under his breath. Aeris opened the car door and waved goodbye, mouthing a thank-you to me before smiling sadly and getting into the car. Sora waved to me as he stepped into the car.

I walked over to my car and started it up. I felt numb on the way home...the lights just flew by, and I didn't pay attention. I was on auto-pilot. The thought of Roxas dying made me shiver and wish that this had never happened. He means so much to me.

You could see the moon, glowing a gorgeous silver, mocking us. It was so beautiful, yet everything was a disaster. The stars weren't even out. The clouds were covering them. The sky turned a sick orange color as the rain fell down. The world was full of sorrow. My tears fell down freely. I couldn't even see that I was at the dorm until Zell knocked on my window.

"Axel...come on, get out of the car. It'll be okay," he murmured, trying to comfort me. But the tears still fell and I sobbed into his shoulder as he walked me into my dorm.

Everything was rearranged. Zell and Leon must've cleaned the place when they got back from the hospital... The bathroom was clean, but I still couldn't go in there...It was painful even /looking/ in there.

I collapsed on my bed and bawled. My eyes stung; my throat burned. And then I slowly drifted into the world of dreams.

My world had come crashing down...

We can't break down now; we're a part of each other. If all of us break, who's going to be there to pick us up?

Kupo: Ok, honestly, writing this chapter made me tear up. It reminds me of my own experience with the same situation. (Weird, huh?)

Well, READ AND REVIEW. Because if you do, I'll give you all pieces of Cookies and Cream chocolate!!

xD

This one took me ALLLL DAMN DAY to write!! I hope you enjoyed it.
