Note: SORRY!! This took SOOOOO long!! I cant believe how lame I am...Anyway, I hope this chapy makes up for it, a lot of stuff happens.
Uhh not much else to say, except take the poll on my page please. Oh, and sorry this is so short.
Enjoy!


Roxas watched his tears hit the cement.
He couldn't stop the crying, no matter how hard he tried.

He watched as the rain added to his own salty drops on the sidewalk.
Soon the rain picked up, and his tears dried.

Standing, he sighed, "Why Axel?"
The boy looked straight up into the sky, the rain burning his eyes.

He didn't shut them, he didn't care.
Maybe, he thought, if he stared long enough, Axel would fall from the sky like an angel.
This was absurd, he knew, but he just hoped.

"Roxas?" His father asked, walking up to him from the car, "Roxas?"
No answer, he kept looking to the sky.
"Roxas?!" His father shook him, "What are you doing son?"
Roxas finally tilted his head and looked at him, "Nothing. There's nothing left to do…"

His father stood and sighed, "Come inside, its raining. You'll get sick."
"I don't care…"
"Yes you do."
"Nope…Why should I? He's gone…"

"Who's gone?" His father asked, picking up his son, "If you mean me, well I'm right here."
Roxas looked away from his father, "Not you…"
"Then who?"

O.o.O.o.O

Axel sat with his knees hugging his chest, on a lumpy bed in a dark room.
He twiddled his thumbs absent mindedly.
"You know what has to happen now, don't you?" Riku stood in the doorway, his skinny frame blocking the light.
"Yes, don't remind me."
"I wonder how it will happen." Riku continued, "Will it be slow, and painful?"
"Stop it Riku…"
"Will it be fast, but agonizing?"
"Stop it…"
"Maybe, he'll drown. Or get hit by a car, or even better," Riku laughed, "A bus!"
"Riku!"
"Oh! I know! He'll get beat to death by his own parents!! That would be great!"
Axel stood and ran at Riku, his hands going straight for the neck.
The silver-haired teen ducked in time and Axel fell to his knees.
He sobbed.

Riku kicked him in the side, causing him to fall over, "Pathetic."

O.o.O.o.O

His father was right, and Roxas spent the next day sick in bed.
His mother came home with groceries, and both parents acted like nothing had happened.
Neither one noticed the wound on their sons arm, even when he asked about it.

They acted like he was crazy, and sent him to bed without supper. Good, he didn't want any anyway.

"I'm not crazy." Roxas told himself, playing with the open wound on his arm.
"This really happened, I didn't do this to myself."

He looked out his window, "But…they don't see it…"
Roxas was watching the rain, it hadn't stopped since Axel left. It grew hard, and people stayed inside.
It was just rain, why were people avoiding it like the plague?

His back hit his soft bed, and for a moment he thought it wasn't so comfortable.
And that the world seemed like a dark shade of gray.
But only for a moment, then everything was normal.

What was going on with him?

O.o.O.o.O

Sora, Riku, Axel, and everyone else living with them sat around the table.
They ate their meal in silence, like normal.
Axel just…watched his. Maybe he was hoping it would run away.
And maybe if it ran away, he could follow it.
And maybe, if he followed it, it would led him to Roxas.
And then, just maybe, if it led him to Roxas, he could be happy again.

"Axel, eat your meal." Sora told him, "We don't want to waste food. You know what he will think."
The redhead agreed and ate in silence.
He hoped Sora wouldn't get in to much trouble for speaking of him.

O.o.O.o.O

"The next life…." Roxas asked the ceiling of his room.
He had been laying there for hours, the sun was coming up.
Why wasn't he worried about school? He had to be there soon, didn't he?
Roxas had lost all thought of time and what day it was.
Though he was sure it was…probably Monday.

Something compelled Roxas.
He stood up, and got dressed in his 'play clothing', the clothes he ripped and mom told him to only wear when he was playing outside.

Standing in front of his mirror, he nodded, "This is good."
He left his house without anyone the wiser.

O.o.O.o.O

Axel, unknowingly, was mimicking Roxas.
He had laid in bed all night, watching his ceiling. Thinking of Roxas.
The sun was coming up here to. He wondered if Roxas was awake, watching the same sky.

He knew it was cliché, but he didn't care. It was as romantic as it was cliché.
Was Roxas watching the same sky? Probably not, seeing as they had different skies.
It was almost impossible, almost.
And if Roxas was watching the same sky as Axel…Well he had a lot more problems to deal with.

"Don't let what Riku's been saying get to you." Sora was standing in the doorway this time. Almost perfectly mimicking what Riku had done.
"Why not?"
"Because…He can be a real ass sometimes." Sora shifted position.
He was short, less light was obscured by him.
"Sometimes?"
"Most of the time."
"Why do you stay with him?"
Sora shrugged and shifted again, "Destiny?"
"You can decide your own destiny you know, I think we've all proved that…"
"I know. And if you remember, before all the world fell, I decided it."
Axel raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"I said I wanted to stay with Riku, so we shared that fruit."
"I wish we had done that…" Axel rolled onto his side, away from Sora, and sobbed.

O.o.O.o.O

Before Roxas left, he noted the time to be almost five in the morning.
He had to wait three more hours.
He brought along his fathers wrist watch, to be sure to note the time.

The boy didn't know what was making him what to do this.
He didn't know why it had to be done at a certain time either.
He just…had to.

Roxas strolled along the sidewalk, making way for the park.
He had four more blocks to go.
Passing the trees, the flowers people planted in their yards, and the wonderful scent of breakfast cooking in most of the houses he passed, Roxas was happy.
He thought he knew what he was doing, and if not, well this was one hell of a way to figure it out.

O.o.O.o.O

Axel was finally up and about. He had nothing to do. He lost Roxas.
Temporally, he hoped, but still. He was currently without the boy. Which was a good enough reason to mope.
He never changed from his pajamas, which consisted of plaid red sweat pants and fuzzy pink cat slippers.
The drawstring on his pants was loose, making them sag off his hips.
At any moment a prankster could pull them down with the greatest of ease, but he knew no one would.

He drug his feet to the kitchen and grabbed some weird homemade juice one of the girls made for them.
Pouring it into a cup, he wondered if this was all his life was ever to amount to.
"Don't leave that out." The brunette warned him.
"I wont." He told her, putting the container of juice in the fridge.
While drinking it, he mentally noted it was fruit punch.

O.o.O.o.O

It was harboring on eight in the morning.
Roxas was sitting in the park, on a bench, waiting.

The bench he choose was oddly close to the street, so people usually avoided it.
He checked his watch.
8:10.
He smiled. Soon.

He stood and dusted off his pants. He didn't know why, they weren't dirty or dusty.
A sinister smile graced his lips, it was 8:11.

Roxas cleared his mind of all but one thing.
Axel.
Axel would like this, and he couldn't wait.

Or maybe, a thought crossed his mind, he wouldn't. Maybe Roxas was horribly wrong.
Maybe Roxas got this whole thing backwards.
Maybe he really was crazy, and maybe Axel didn't even exist.

8:12.

But how could Roxas be doing this for someone that didn't exist?
It didn't make sense.
Not to Roxas, and surely not to anyone.

He cleared the thought from his mind, and placed his note on the bench.
If he was right, if everything he thought about was correct, then this tiny piece of paper was useless.

8:12, and 40 seconds.

Roxas stepped away from the bench, and his foot hit the street.
This was happening, nothing could stop it.
He looked both ways, like his mother had taught him.

8:12, and 50 seconds.

He saw it.
10 seconds.
No mistakes on this one.
He had to do this.

8:13, on the dot.
A semi truck hit Roxas, killing him instantly.
