Axel: Took you long enough…
Me: Aw shuddup…..
Roxas: So do I get to punch Riku in the face now…?
Me: Now, now… Let's not be hasty…
Riku stood outside the entrance of the hospital that held Sora. He had thought through and ended things with Kairi. After he had seen her reaction to Sora's near suicide, Riku decided that she was no where near as great of a person as he thought that she was. She had spent near an hour at school the other day tying to convince Riku that Sora had only slit his wrists because he had wanted attention. Unfortunately enough for her, Roxas (who, by Axels request, had attended school that day) overheard the conversation and backhanded Kairi right across the face when he heard her accusations.
--
"You fucking bitch!!" he shrieked. "How dare you say that?!"
"Roxas settle down."
Riku tried to be the voice of reason but was jerked forward by his tie as Roxas pulled him down to eye level. He was now face to face with a very pissed and surprisingly scary blonde.
"You son of a bitch," Roxas said in an eerily calm voice. "Don't you even try to stop me… You were lucky that Axel was the one who talked to you about Sora… I was so mad I would have put your fucking head through a wall."
"I know Roxas!"
At this Roxas laughed.
"Oh, you know do you? Tell me this Riku… Do you know what it's like to watch over Someone that you care so much about as he sits there and feeds you lies about how well he's feeling when you know that he's doing everything he can just to NOT CRY ANYMORE!! DO YOUKNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO SORA CRY HIMSELF TO SLEEP WHEN HE THINKS THAT YOU CAN'T HEAR!! AND TO KNOW THAT…that… there's nothing that you can do to help him…?"
Riku was staggered to say the least.
Kairi had long since left, and now it was just the short crying blonde and himself.
"He's so broken, Riku... You owe it to him to fix him… If you ever cared about him…. You'd come visit him soon.
--
"Room 013…." Riku breathed as he stood outside Sora's room at the hospital. Sora had been moved to the psychiatric ward of the building, and now he just stood there with Roxas beside him. Sora's own mother, according to Roxas, hadn't even visited her son at all. Something about her being "too busy..."
She had yelled at Sora for wasting her money on hospital bills and left…
Simply…. Left….
--
I sat in my uncomfortable, white, chair….
Everything is white…
I hate it and I want to leave…
I don't care where, I just want to leave!!
I laughed at another one of Axel's horrible jokes. He got up and waved.
I felt my spirits sink when he said that he had to go.
It gets so lonely here. Axel and Roxas's visits are all that I look forward to, but still I smile and wave him off.
Axel paused as he walked through the door way. I tilted my head to see what got his attention, but froze as I saw none other than Riku walk through the doorway.
Immediately I hid my bandaged arms in the folds of my robe.
I know that I look horrible… I don't think that I've ever been so pale in my life and Riku standing there gawking at me wasn't helping.
"Hey," I offered awkwardly.
Riku cut me off with a back breaking hug.
--
Sora froze up instantly and pushed against my chest.
"Get- get off!! Ple- please!!"
I only held him tighter..
"I'm so so sorry, Sora," I whispered.
"Riku, let go! You don't love me, so let go, please!"
"Sora…?"
Sora hid his eyes in his hands and took shaky breaths.
"Riku, don't do this if you don't love me…. It…It hurts too much… Just.. please…"
"Sora…"
"Riku, don't mess with me…."
"Sora…!"
Sora began to sniffle in a desperate attempt to stop the tears.
… As did I…
