Really sorry for the long wait, hope this chapter makes up for it.

As Roxas woke up the next day he realized that he hadn't had a dream, for that he was thankful, at least he wouldn't get told off just because he couldn't get any sleep at night, maybe he could ask Mr. Flynn if he had any ideas on how to help him sleep. No bad idea, he'll just think I'm making up an excuse Roxas thought as he made his cereal teachers never really listen to students unless it's about their work.

He had just finished cleaning up the pots when his head started spinning, it didn't last long and Roxas began thinking what the heck was that? He past it off as a migraine and grabbed his stuff before leaving the house, locking it and heading off to school.

(At school entrance)

As Roxas walked his way up to the school's entrance he catches a glimpse of red and immediately knew that it was his teacher, what's worse was that he was catching up to him and he didn't stand a chance of out running the guy since he had short legs and wasn't much of an athletic fan.

"Hey Roxas" the teacher called out when he noticed Roxas on his own, he catch up to him just as the boy reached the steps "listen, you know when two days ago when you bumped into me and I was being kind of cocky to you?"

Roxas stopped when he was asked that question and turned around when look at the him, it was then that he noticed that the guy was looking sad and feeling awkward so he decided to hurry it up before anyone noticed "yes"

Axel managed to hold back a shudder "well anyway, I wanted to apologise to you for my behaviour, I know it's inappropriate for a teacher to do that but it's my personality and I do it a lot, so please don't think that I'm trying to hit on you, it's just that you looked a little down and I was just trying to cheer you up, when I realized that it was doing the opposite effect I regretted ever doing it"

"Aren't teachers supposed to not mingle with a student's private life?"

"I obviously missed that one in the rule book, anyway I was hoping that we could put that behind us and start over, or a truce, does that sound good to you?"

Roxas thought for a moment "alright then" he sighed, although he had a feeling he was going to regret it.

Axel however was smiling; a proper one and it almost made Roxas faint at the sight of it "thanks Roxas, I promise you, you aren't going to regret it" he ran into the building before Roxas could say anything.

"What have I gotten myself into?" Roxas said to himself, he shook his head in disbelief before he jumped and smacked the person who scared him as they spoke.

"ROXAS! WHAT THE HECK?" Sora screamed as he held his stung cheek "do you hate me or something? If so you should have said so" he was about to leave Roxas alone until Roxas begged him to stay and let him explain.

"I'm sorry Sora, its reflex I've had since I was bullied in my last school" Roxas almost screamed to Sora so that he wouldn't think anything bad about him.

Sora stopped and turned to Roxas who was looking scared and looking around as if someone was going to hurt him "really Roxas?"

"It's the first time that I've done that, I swear to you Sora that it's a reflex, I wouldn't have done it unless it was self-defence" Roxas looked at Sora with puppy eyes.

Sora fell for them and immediately went to his old self "ok, come on then or we're going to be late"

"Sora, it's a bit early, there's no chance of us going to be late unless we dawdle a little too long" it was times like this that made Roxas happy to have Sora as a friend, at least when he explained to Sora why he was like he was Sora would just accept it and go on like nothing had happened.

"What was this I hear about you hurting Sora?" said a deep voice from behind them.

Roxas jumped again and was about to hit the person when said person grabbed his hand from doing anything "you better not be doing that on purpose"

"Leave him alone Riku, he has a bad reflex and is a little jumpy for some unknown reason, he didn't mean to hit me" Sora nearly begged Riku when he saw a dark expression appearing on his face, it was scaring Roxas as well.

Riku looked at Sora first before looking at Roxas who was looking anywhere but him "if you so much as bruise my friend I'll kill you" he shoves Roxas away and walks into the building as if nothing had happened leaving a very shaken Roxas behind.

Roxas slumped to the ground trying to calm down his breathing but it didn't seem to be working, Sora knelt down and began trying to calm down Roxas' panic attack "Roxas, Riku loves me like a brother, he is over protective of me, even with the simplest bruise he will threaten the person who did it, so please don't think it's just you because he's heartless to everyone"

Roxas however wasn't listening and his breathing was getting worse, he curled up into a ball and didn't feel Sora's hands leave his back until he felt another pair of hands in the same position as Sora's hand's was but they were larger and warmer.

"Roxas, you need to calm down, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth, like this" the voice Roxas instantly knew was Mr. Flynn began doing an example of how to calm him down.

Again Roxas wasn't listening, he was concentrating on Axel's heart as he head was near it, just the sound was making him calm, it wasn't long till he managed to get his breathing right and feeling slightly awkward when he realised that it was his teacher who was comforting him. He tried to move away and say 'sorry for overreacting' but was shocked when Mr. Flynn didn't move and held on tighter to Roxas as if he was about to disappear.

"You have nothing to feel sorry about Roxas, it is normal for people to have a panic attack when it affects them seriously" he had no idea what Roxas had gone through in his life but he promised himself that he was going to change it and save Roxas, because people who didn't have a bad life had a rare chance of getting a panic attack, unless they were claustrophobic. Before Roxas knew what was happening he began to dream again.

There was a great fire spreading everywhere and destroyed the white creatures, when the fire had evaporated the red haired man in a black cloak was on the floor fading away

"Axel, why did you do that?" said a voice

"I wanted to see Roxas, he was the only one I ever liked, he made me feel, like I had a heart" there was a small smile on his face before he faded into nothing.

"Roxas, Roxas can you hear me?" called a voice although it was muffled to figure out who it was.

Roxas immediately woke up and began crying, why he did not know and when he saw his teacher he felt worse "you died" was all he said before he was unconscious again in his teacher's arms.

Axel drew in a breath before slowly exhaling; he wasn't expecting Roxas to remember so soon, he knew it was going to be harder than he anticipated. He carefully picked up Roxas and took him into the school to the nurse's room where he gently placed him down and waited for the nurse to come.

"I hope when you realise who you really are Roxas, that way we can at least still be friends" Axel said to an unconscious Roxas, a lone tear escaped his eye.

It all happened before…and it'll all happen again.

Their hurting will be mended when you come to end it.
