Chapter 2
A/N: Yeah, Yeah. I know. I haven't updated in awhile. At least, not on this story. I'd like to give a special thanks to RoxyPoxy, alex2011, and txtinglover98 for encouraging me to write more! Really! But, anyways. For the most part this chapter will be in Roxas POV as well as Sora's POV, though there will be a mix with their parents and Axel as well. I'm not sure where I'm going to take this story. I need ideas! So, anyways, review, enjoy, and I might just update sooner! ;)
A/N 2: Another one of my stories that is very unhealthy from my lack of food I've been giving it...Well, at least it's being fed and worked on now! Again, sorry for the shortness, I was trying to get it done so I could work on my others! Thanks, enjoy!
*Roxas POV*
I opened my eyes slowly to the sun rising through the practically clear curtains on my window. I flung my legs over the side of the bed and dragged a hand through my hair. Ugh.
I soon stood and padded over to my bathroom, quickly getting into the shower and washing my body almost painfully. I can still feel...doesn't that mean I'm still alive? Doesn't that mean I'm not dying? No. My mind whispered. It only means you're okay right now. Ugh. Thanks, mind.
As I scrubbed anywhere and everywhere, I couldn't help but think that, even though this is one of the most unimportant things in life, I would miss taking showers everyday. I'd miss walking to school with Sora, Riku, and Kairi, even though they annoyed me so much. I'd miss seeing my mother everyday, despite how she treats me. I'd miss...everything.
Before I knew it, tears were running down my face. I brought my hands up to my eyes and just sobbed. My sobs began to range from very quiet, to so loud people in the hallway could hear it. But, at the moment, I just didn't care.
I soon heard footsteps outside my door and I decided that maybe it was time I got out of the shower. I quickly washed my hair and stepped out. I looked at the clock on the wall to find out that one, it was six in the morning, and two, I'd been in there for like an hour. And do you know what that means? I was up at five in the morning.
Ah, whatever. As I exited my bathroom, into my room, I heard the lock on my door being picked. With this new discovery, I grabbed the clothes I had set out on my bed, opened my window, and ran back into the bathroom, double locking the door.
I sighed, quickly and quietly getting dressed. Soon, I heard the door to my room open, signaling that someone was in the room next to me. I put my ear to the bathroom door and listened quietly.
"Shit." Spoke the voice of the person in my room. I couldn't identify who it was. "He got away." Wow. They must be looking for me. I shrugged to myself. Whatever.
I soon heard the door to my room closed and be relocked before I got out of the bathroom and sat down on my bed. I sighed. Now what? I obviously can't leave my room because there's someone out there looking for me...hmmm...laptop!
I grabbed my school computer from off the floor and got on a game website. I quickly went to my favorite game, Rotate and Roll, and started a new game. Damn, I loved this game. I've beaten it over 50 times and just can't get enough of it.
After about an hour of playing, I finally got bored. God, why is it so boring in my room? I mean, seriously. I can't even turn on the television in here for fear the person looking for me will hear it.
I sighed. I flopped back down on my bed, quietly. I'm seriously considering just walking down to the kitchen, despite someone looking for me. Just for something to do. You know what? Fuck it.
I stood up and walked towards my door, unlocking it again and walking into the hallway. I looked to the right to see Riku, sleeping on the floor. I sighed, shook my head and went down the stairs and into the kitchen, not really caring if I was being watched or not. I mean, I have eight months to live anyways, right? Why would it matter if I die if I'm gonna die soon anyways? I sighed.
Despite the truthfulness in my statement, I even have to admit that thought was a little too depressing.
I went to the refrigerator and opened it, searching for something interesting. I soon found my secret stash of vanilla pudding, Sora usually eats it all if I don't hide it, and grabbed a whole pack before sitting down on the couch.
I turned on the t.v. and set to eating my pudding. I sighed in slight relaxation before there was a hand, covering my mouth with a wet cloth. I breathed in the toxins attached to it and soon, everything went black.
I looked around, scared. Everything was black...all black. Nothing of color, not even myself. I was gray, I lacked all color. There was an emptiness...it welled up inside me as I tried to walk on. I felt...heartless. The only solid feeling I was able to sense was anger...anger and despair.
The sudden urge to duck filled my being. Listening to my senses, I jumped to the ground, laying flat. As if something knew I'd do that, a knife suddenly shot out from the blackness behind me, hitting something in front of where I was standing before jumping out of the way.
My eyes widened in fear. I was shivering. I was scared...so scared. I was looking around frantically, searching for something, anything, ANYTHING! A light, A person, it didn't matter! Just something!
As if whatever's out there heard my plea's, a small light, in front of me...slowly growing bigger and bigger until...
...I opened my eyes. I slowly lifted my head and looked around blearily. I discovered I was in-
*Sora's POV*
I slowly opened my eyes looking to my left, finding Axel asleep on my sleeping bag. I looked around, searching for a certain silver haired man before coming to the decision he wasn't in the room. I sighed and slowly stood up, noticing I was in the clothes I wore yesterday. I'll remember to thank Riku for changing my clothes for me. Ah, sarcasm.
I opened my door and walked into the hallway, looking around. Roxas was probably still in his room...
As I walked down the hall, I saw Riku, asleep near Roxas's door. He was laying sideways on the floor. I sighed and shook my head. He can be such an idiot sometimes.
When I reached the stairs, walking down them slowly, the thoughts of how me and Riku got together plagued me. I...I didn't really love him. I sighed. It hurts me to think like this but...I don't love him.
You see, my mother made me go out with Riku, I have no clue as to why. Yeah, I like him like a brother, you know? But I know he doesn't care for me like that anyways. He loves someone else. Just like me. Heh. Funny how these things turn out, huh?
As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I see some of Roxas's "secret stash" of pudding sitting out on the couch. He would never leave his pudding out for me to see...where is Roxas anyways? I rushed back up the stairs and jiggled the knob on his door quietly. Locked. I reached into my pocket and grabbed a safety pin, successfully picking his lock and opening the door.
I looked around and came to the conclusion his was not in his room. As I walked deeper in, I looked to my right and saw his personal bathroom. Not stopping to think about it, I opened the door and stepped inside. All I could tell from his bathroom was that he got a shower earlier. Nothing important.
Sighing, I walked back outside his room and closed the door. He wasn't there... I then started to look all over the house for some sign of my brother, but he just didn't seem to be here. So, Roxas is gone with no clue to his whereabouts, and his special pudding is sitting out. Something is going on. I'm just not sure what. But you can guarantee I will find out.
*Riku's POV*
When I woke up, I groaned out in pain. My neck and back hurt sooooo bad. But why? I opened my eyes and realized I was lying on the floor outside Roxas's room. Hah. He didn't come out. When I reached for the knob to help myself get up, I was bittersweetly surprised that it was unlocked. Meaning, when I grabbed it, rather than staying in place, it turned, causing me to fall flat on my face. Ow...fuck.. I glanced around before standing slowly and entering the open room. It seemed pretty normal, besides the lack of a blond haired midget.
After I had checked all spaces of the room, I sighed and walked back out into the hallway. Where could he be
