Roxas' POV:

New Year's Eve was mainly spent playing random games and eating random food with Axel, Demyx, and Zexion. Demyx got that crappy sparkling apple juice, so I was sick after I drank that. Dude, that stuff is GROSS! I was lying on the couch, watching the New Year's shows on TV. I was pretty whipped from staying up until 12am. The countdown was minutes away.

"Guys! The countdown! It's in like, two minutes!" Demyx jumped on the couch, pretty much breaking my legs. "Sorry Roxas!"

I winced. "It's fine…" I sat up. Agh, I should be in bed right now. I never stayed up past 11:30pm in my life. The only reason I was up was because Demyx locked the door to my room…

"Come on, Rox! Theres only like, 20 seconds left! Then you can go to sleep!" Axel smiled at me. The last ten seconds were up…

"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Demyx squealed. Oh my God… What's the big deal? Now, I am going to go to bed now. I stood up and started to walk towards the room.

"Hey!" Axel walked along with me. "No hug or anything?" I blushed. I stopped at the door and turned towards Axel. I stepped closer to him, planting a soft kiss on his lips.

"Happy new year Axel." I stepped back and faded into the dark room, finally being able to fall into a deep slumber.

I woke up the next morning to Demyx's obnoxious screeching. "WHAT?"

I sluggishly sat up and wandered off to wherever that sugar-high'd kid was. He ended up to be in the kitchen talking on the phone with someone. "With… His brother? Does he even know?" There was a silence between the two. "He needs to tell him! I mean, this is huge!"

What is Demyx talking about? And who is he? Demyx noticed me in the doorway. He quickly said good-bye and hung up. I raised an eyebrow. "Who was that?"

"N-No one… Just my brother…" Demyx nervously laughed. "W-What are you doing?"

"Waking up… Getting breakfast." I crossed my arms. "So… What were you talking about?" Demyx's eyes widened.

"Your... Brother... Ventus." Demyx set the phone on the table. "He's... He's dating my brother... Zack..." Demyx blushed.

I dropped the cup of coffee that I was holding. "What..." The coffee spilled all over the floor and my favorite mug cracked. "What... He never told me..."

Demyx stared at the mess on the floor."Roxas, I wasn't suppost to tell you..." Demyx peeped. "Ventus was suppost to do that..."

I stared at the mulleted boy for a while. "Wh-What... When was he going to tell me..." Axel and Zexion snuck into the room. "When Demyx?"

Demyx remained silent, still staring at the mess. "Roxas... Your... Foot is bleeding..." Demyx winced. I looked down. A piece of the mug had cut my foot, causing it to bleed out. I stood my ground, not giving a flying fladoodle on my foot.

I ran into my room, ripping my phone out of my pants from yesterday. I quickly dialed Ventus. Within seconds, his voice came up on the other line. "Roxas, what's up?"

"You know what's up Ventus. How come you never told me?"I sat on my bed. "About you and Zack?"

There was a long silence. "Roxas… It only just happened…" Ventus paused. "I would have told you sooner but I was so busy with school and work and everything else…"

"Ventus… I'm sorry…I…I should have known… Since you're in college and you're busy with trying to keep the shop open… I'm sorry… I completely forgot…" I mentally facepalmed.

"Dude, it's cool! Don't worry about it! Really! Now, get some rest, you sound whipped!" Ventus chuckled. "I have to get to work, I'll talk to you later little bro." Ventus hung up, leaving that obnoxious beeping noise.

I put my phone away and headed for the bathroom. I cleaned up my foot and put a Hello Kitty band-aid on my cut. All better, and without the harsh burning of Booboo-spray!

I walked back out to the crowd. Demyx was tearing up. I ran to him and gave him a giant hug. "I'm sorry bud."

"Demyx laughed. "It's okay. I can't get mad at you." Zexion raised an eyebrow and I backed up.

Axel stood in the corner, leaning on the wall with his arms folded. His eyes were closed. I walked towards him. "Something wrong?" Axel stayed silent and shook his head. "Axel, what's wrong?"

Axel opened his eyes. "Nothing. Really…" I could tell something was bothering him.

"Seriously Axel, what's wrong?" I raised an eyebrow. "I can tell by the look in your eyes."

Axel shook his head. "Really, it's nothing." I still didn't believe it.

"Axel! Just tell me!" I put my hands on Axel's shoulders. "You can tell me anything."

"I am apparently a worthless piece of garbage." Axel's face remained as blank as a white wall.

Axel's POV:

Roxas and I stared at each other for a while. Roxas' face was a mixture between confusion and anger. "W-What do you mean? You aren't worthless."

I shrugged. "Well, to my whole family, I am." Roxas didn't know anything about my family. They were cruel, terrible, and unfair. Haters, people would call them.

"Y-Your family?" Roxas stuttered. "When did they say that?"

"Last night. After New Years. They called to say Happy New Year by that message." I closed his eyes again. "And you know what, I'm starting to believe them."

Roxas' mouth opened, but he was speechless. "You are not worthless Axel. I was feeling worthless myself after Sora died. But you… You made me feel whole. Now don't make the mistake of saying you're worthless Axel." Roxas' voice was shaky. "Don't listen to them Axel. Don't listen to them."

I pulled Roxas into a hug. "It's not that easy Roxas. They have said that all my life."

"Just don't believe them. Or stick up for yourself." Roxas smiled. I heard Demyx giggle. I raised an eyebrow and looked in their direction. Demyx quickly looked the other way. I smirked.

"I guess I could call them and say I'm not taking gthis crap anymore..." I looked into Roxas' blue crystal eyes. "Now, we must have the best, first day of 2010 ever." I smiled.

"Well... We could start now..." Roxas leaned in. I smirked, leaning in as well.

"Agh, not here!" Zexion teased. "We eat here!"

Roxas laughed and shook his a mood killer, Zexion...Well, we have all day.

If I make it through the day.

A/N Chapter 15 is done! Argh I got the chills... I made it 2010 because it's going to tie into something in the After Story... So, don't be all like, "It's 2011!" Well, I know what I'm doing! So, yeah! Review!
