Chain of Memories

1

Roxas stared at the ceiling of his hospital room. It was December 24, in other words, Christmas Eve. People say that Christmas is a time of joy, yet Roxas felt nothing. He did have a reason to be happy, today was the day he was being dispatched from the hospital, but he just couldn't feel anything.

Maybe it was due to the fact that he had been asleep for two years now without feeling anything. Point was, he felt nothing. It didn't really bother Roxas though, his feelings would probably come back when they felt like it(lol).

Roxas was still deep in thought when his cousin Sora, entered the room. Roxas turned from the ceiling to look at him. His cousin hadn't changed at all. At least he thought he hadn't, after all he couldn't recall how Sora had looked before.

"Hey Roxy," Roxas smiled at the familiar nickname, "how are you feeling?"

"Fine. A bit sore from sleeping in this awful bed but aside from that I'm fine." Roxas answered.

"I'm glad. Now come one let's get you changed. The doctor will come and do a final check and then we'll go." Sora said while taking a new pair of clothes for Roxas out of a bag he was carrying.

When Roxas finished changing the doctor came in.

"Well, considering you've been asleep for two years, everything is working fine. You will be sore for a week or so until your muscles get used to moving again but aside from that everything should be okay."

"Thank you, Doctor." Sora said.

"No problem at all. Oh and Roxas, you've already been told that the memory of your life before two days ago are gone, right?" The doctor asked.

Roxas nodded. "Well I suggest you overlook some old stuff to see if anything sparks a memory. Sometimes your memories will just come back at random times. When that happens I suggest you write it down somewhere so as to not forget it again." The doctor said.

Roxas nodded. Sora thanked the doctor and all the nurses and then they left. Roxas looked out the window into the place called Twilight Town. Roxas took everything in trying to find something familiar. After all this was probably going to be his last time here.

Two days ago, when he had awoken, Sora had come to explain what had happened. On February 14, of two years ago he had fallen off the roof of his middle school. The fall should have killed him, especially since he was bleeding from the head for more than thirty minutes without anyone fining him, but he had gotten lucky.

He had received immediate operation to his head and had survived, but he had fallen into a coma.(By the way words in italics means they're thinking and words with italics and underlined mean something from the past/flashback).

"Ne, Roxas?" Sora looked at him with sad blue eyes. "Do you remember me?"

Roxas looked at him and nodded, "We've been together ever since we were born, but your parents moved you to Destiny Island when we were both ten."

Sora's eyes lit up with joy, "Oh Roxas! Thank goodness. I was afraid you had forgotten me!" Sora gave his cousin a hug.

"Roxas nodded. He looked out the window and back at Sora. "What happened?"

Sora drew back from Roxas and cast his glance down. He knew that Roxas was asking what had happened on the day of the accident. "We don't know. The doctor says that the memory of what happened would probably be last to resurface. It would probably be sparked when you are in a similar situation." Roxas could hear his cousin's voice starting to crack.

Roxas nodded, satisfied with the answer. The room was filled with silence. Outside the sun was setting, casting an orange glow into the hospital room. "Ne, Roxas?" Sora asked softly.

Roxas turned to look at his cousin who's head was on the bed. "I started living alone. My parents came back here but I wanted to stay over there, so I begged them to let me stay."

Sora lifted his head and looked past Roxas, out the window, "It's small and has only one room. I'm sure I could make room...What I'm trying to say is, would you come live with me?"

Roxas was surprised. He hadn't seen the question coming. Sora took his silence as hesitation. "I mean I know you would miss Twilight Town but I really would love it! I'm starting school soon! We could go together! When we get home we can make dinner and eat it and I can show you around..."

Roxas smiled, "Sora, you're babbling." He said.

Sora stopped talking and looked at Roxas. Roxas lay his hand on Sora's head, "How soon could we?"

Sora said nothing. Then he gave a big, bright smile. "I love you Roxas!!" Sora crushed Roxas in a bear hug.

"Yeah, I know." Roxas said.

Now after two days of tests being run on him and going through therapy he was leaving Twilight Town. Sora had already talked to Roxas' parents and had picked up his stuff. Now all they had to do was drive to Destiny Island.

Sora noticed Roxas' silence and asked, "Are you okay Roxy? Do you want to stop for a break?"

Roxas turned to Sora and smiled, "Nah, just a bit tired. I'm gonna take a nap."

Sora nodded and turned back to the driving and Roxas looked out the window again.

The last thing he saw was the ocean in the sunset. Then he fell asleep.
