Chapter 2: The Truth Revealed
After a few seconds of bliss, I pushed Axel away. I stared at him with fury and hurt. My breath was coming in short gasps and I was doing everything I could to not burst out sobbing. Axel looked hurt, but also like he understood why I pushed him away. I was so confused that my brain hurt.
"I'm sorry..." was the first thing he said to break the deafening silence between us. I didn't respond. I only winced at the sound of his voice. I remembered the lyrics from before and silently sang them to myself.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me,
This is what I thought so think me naïve,
I promise you a heart you'd promise to keep,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
"Please... Let me at least explain... I'm not sure if I can, but I will try if you're willing to listen." was the next thing he said and my head was beginning to swim.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep...
I remembered my knees buckling as I fell to the floor crying. Axel caught me in his arms and I collapsed into his embrace. He lifted my chin up and kissed my eyes. I then only remember falling into a deep sleep as the song played softly through my mind and rolled off my breath.
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep...
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep...
I awoke with a jump in my heart. I put a hand over one eye as I let out a heavy sigh. Another dream. Always a dream. The same song playing silently in the background. The same way I find Axel. The same way my heart aches every time I remember he's gone forever.
I pushed my blankets off of me and made my way to the bathroom. I closed the door silently behind me and turned on the shower. I stripped of my clothes and let the steaming water run down my neck and onto my back. I let my mind go blank. I refused to think of him. I wanted to forget. But it's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when the heart still does.
I stepped out and silently got dressed. The usual Organization XIII jacket with a black tank-top and jeans underneath. I slipped my socks and sneakers on and made my way to the kitchen. I walked in to find Demyx sitting at the small table with some cereal in front of him. He was reading the newspaper. I never knew he read the newspaper...
"Morning." Demyx said to me with a smile. My face stayed blank as I walked past him to grab a granola bar. Demyx stared at me as I nibbled on the small breakfast, making me nervous. Why was he staring at me that way?
"You had that dream again, didn't you?" he said, reading some my thoughts.
"So..." was all I mumbled. I looked away, not able to hold his gaze.
"He's not coming back. I know you don't want to think about it, but you have to at least accept it. Please. I'm not the only one who wants the old Roxas back." Demyx said in a pleading tone. My eyes narrowed into a glare as I looked back at him. I threw the granola bar in the trash and stormed out of the kitchen . I knew he was right. I just didn't want to accept it.
