Chapter 16

I woke up the next morning to Axel pacing so I quietly sat as he mumbled. In our time together I had begun building a compilation of what not to do to upset Axel. Bothering him while he was pacing was a very big one. Eventually he looked over at me.

"Roxas." He said sounding unsure of himself.

"Yeah."

He shook his head, running his hand through the unruly mane.

"Sorry."

"No problem. So you were thinking?" I asked crossing my legs.

He nodded.

"About?"

"You."

Any normal relationship this would be cute but I was worried my stomach started twisting and I felt my pulse begin to race.

"What were you thinking about?" I asked my throat feeling suddenly dry.

"Are you scared of blood now?"

My skin went cold, I didn't want to do this.

He sighed. "Roxas I just need to know."

"I thought we were letting this go."

"Believe me Roxas I want nothing more than to forget our pasts but me and you." He said gesturing between us. "We are…were fucking mine fields and I have to know where not to step. Because we work, somehow even with our issues and dysfunctions we work and I wont throw that away over something that has an easy fix."

"There is no easy fix for my mental instability!" I screeched.

He stopped and took a deep breath, I know better than to yell at him.

And then it hit me.

Fuck.

I sighed "Okay…I'm sorry you're right."

He raised an eyebrow.

"I mean, if we know what we like and we don't like then it could work…I've been learning what sets you off and I guess you deserve the same."

"So?" he asked.

"I am horrified by blood, it makes me sick."

He nodded "Makes sense."

I took a deep breath, this was turning into some cryptic version on 20 questions and I was really against it but I actually liked Axel and for the first time in years I met a person who actually mattered so he was worth it.

"I also hate the smell of hay." I said quietly. There was as slight churning in the pit of my stomach.

He nodded as he made his way over to the bed, I guess the fear and discomfort was evident on my face. He gently placed his hand over mine looking at me with his green eyes that Ive seen filled with anger and terror were now filled with an unknown warm look that made me tingle all over.

"Okay." He said with a nod. "No blood, no hay."

I cleared my throat and nodded again. "So were forgetting our pasts." I mumbled.

"While remembering the tendencies and triggers of our pasts"

We both nodded before we started laughing in this self-pitied hysterical laughter until we had tears in our eyes.

"Oh god Roxy were so fucked up."

"We created fucked up." I said still laughing.

I laid my head on his shoulder as the magnitude of everything came crashing down at once, I felt tears coming to my eyes but I refused to cry.

Axel leaned down and kissed my forehead and this rush of comfort just came over me.

But then of course we were interrupted by that oh so faithful knock from the attendee.

"Andarsene" yelled Axel with his full Italian accent.

It was ungodly how sexy it was.

"Breakfast." Said the attendee completely unphased by Axel.

I sighed and got up as we headed into the cafeteria. We found Namine and Vanitas already seated with Demyx and some other people. Our breakfast table wasn't usually so crowded but I didn't complain, I grabbed my usual cereal and sat down with Axel by my side.

Namine looked dead, she had bags under her eyes she just looked a mess.

"Didn't sleep well?" I asked her

She just shook her head. We carried on with odd small talk. The entire day just had an off vibe too it. Too quite too…normal.

The calm before the storm.

At some point Axel just got up without any reason and went back to the room.

"Axel." I called after him in a quiet voice.

But he kept on walking; whatever was wrong I was gonna let him work it out. I returned my attention back to the overly crowded table full of people having conversations I didn't give a fuck about and Namine looking like walking death.

Finally I was done. I trashed my cereal and started back towards the room, in retrospect I realize what was wrong with Namine that day. She had already talked to Axel.

When I go to our room Axel was in their throwing shit around like a frantic mad man. I sighed.

We worked.

"Axel, what are you doing?"

He kept up his frantic pace.

"Packing."

"Why are you packing?" I asked calmly moving closer to him.

"I'm getting out of here." He raced over to me clapping his hands on my shoulders. "Were getting out of here." He smiled brightly and then placed a quick kiss on my lips.

I nodded slightly dazed by the kiss. "How Axel."

"Don't worry yourself over specifics. I've got this under control."

I just sighed and went over to my bed lying down.

"Alright, if you say so."

He stayed in that frantic state for a while longer but eventually I drifted off to sleep. When I woke up I was in Axel's arms. In just for a split second all the hell, the stress, the grief and all the other stupid bullshit was worth it.

I don't know how but we did work…we do work.

I was about to wake him when I remembered last time.

Were mine-fields.

So I just laid there for a while, eventually his body began to move against mine, he let out a long sigh that turned into a yawn as he woke up.

"Roxy." He said with a smile.

"Axel." I said returning the gesture. Just then he sat straight up.

"What time is it?" he yelled. Stretching I peered over his shoulder.

"2pm."

He sank back down looking both relieved and defeated.

"You okay?"

He nodded and kissed me again. I was starting to really enjoy kissing him.

"Wheres all the stuff you packed?" I asked seeing the emptiness of the room, a few things were missing, mainly clothes.

"We need to kill time." He said

I looked at him confused, or don't answer me, that okay too. "…okay, so what do you want to do?"

We spent the next 2 hours playing 20 questions, honestly anybody with any sense could have seen something was up but I was stupid and naïve. To this day I've never fully forgiven him for leaving me out of his plan. But anyway, we played 20 questions and it wasn't even the good sexy kind it was the really boring one you play with your parents in the car. Well not me and my parents and not Axel and his parents but normal people with normal parents

Then it was dinner time, even though nothing important came from that game I was really glad we played. It was fun.

At dinner Namine wasn't there, Vanitas was sitting by himself watching Tv looking like a defeated puppy.

Happiness dulls your senses because I should have seen this all coming, I don't know.

At dinner me and Axel were both just going through the motions he was off, and it was throwing me off then Namine wasn't there and Vanitas was depressed. It was all very strange.

As I was shoving another tasteless forkful of food in my mouth the fire alarms went off the lights were flashing, somebody screamed and after all those years I should've known that voice, I looked over to Axel just as he was grabbing my arm. I looked up to find Vanitas making a break down the hallway, I saw something fly and that was followed by the sound of shattered glass lots of shattered glass.

Chaos.

The table we were sitting at tipped over and attendees were flying everywhere, Axel had a painfully tight grip on my wrist and was pulling me down a hallway I didn't even recognize, one by one lights were shutting off until the whole placed was immersed in darkness and screams echoed from everywhere. We reached the end of the mysterious hallway and I realized it was where the bitche's office was.

Hadnt been there recently.

"Roxas!" I heard Axel yell snapping me back to reality. "Up!" he said pointing to the window ledge.

I had zero clue what was happening, no clue at all but I jumped up on the ledge as I heard more shattering glass and air piercing screams. The red head followed right after me lifting the tiny handles on at the top of the window.

I felt my breath catch in my throat as the wind came rushing in. I hadn't felt wind in ages. I hadn't even noticed that Axel had jumped out the.

"Roxas!" he yelled his voice sounding strained. That's when she came storming out of her office. My heart stopped it was like seeing a ghost.

"Roxas." She said her voice barely a whisper.

Just then Axel yelled after me again. "Roxas!"

My back faced him as I stared towards her.

"What have you done." She hissed. I could barely make her out in the darkness behind her but the remaining sunlight from outside reflected off her eyes making her look a serpent.

To this day I believe she was the human form of Satan.

"Get down now." She said in the creepy raspy voice.

"Roxas!" Axel yelled again, cold sweat pricked on my skin as I turned to face the window. Axel held his arms out to me and I felt her bony fingers wrap around my ankle.

"You evil fucking bitch!" I spat. "Why. Wont. ." I screamed taking my other leg and kicking her in the face. In the dark I watched as she stumbled back and tripped over some unseen object. As she hit the floor I heard some sickening crack that I now know was only her leg and not her neck. Unfortunately for me.

Jumping out a window was something I had contemplated many times, but my ultimate goal was always to die, not to be caught in the arms of my psychotic boyfriend.

Quickly he dropped me and my feet and we ran like crazy mother fuckers for what felt like years. When we stopped my chest was burning like somebody had lit fire to it, we stared at each other unable to speak as we tried to catch our breath.

We looked at each other. I felt like nothing existed outside of these few seconds, my mind was drawing blanks on everything but it didn't matter.

Without a single word we knew that our pasts were truly forgotten and we could go anywhere from there.

A/N: Some what of a good ending? Confused? Theres an epilogue that will hopefully answer all of your questions if you STILL have questions direct them to me I'll help you out.
