Chapter Eight: And the line goes straight.

A/N: Ain't it just sad right now. I'm sorry for that but hey not all story are always happy and stuff unless their Disney for some odd reason.

Axel paced up and down in the guest room at the hospital. It been over five hours since Roxas was brought in. They hadn't heard any word of how he was doing since Axel had given blood. Sora and Riku had fallen asleep on their make shift bed of chairs pushed together with blankets from the hospital. Zexion and Demyx slept on the couch off in the corner with hospital blankets too. Axel however sat in a chair, awake, waiting for news of Roxas. He was to worried about Roxas to sleep. He just sat awake staring over at a clock trying to imagine who and why would someone shot Roxas. He couldn't come up with anything but them trying to rob him and he protested against the idea. At least he hoped Roxas was the victim not the dealer.

Axel could feel his eyes starting to grow heavy with sleep. He tried as hard as he could to stay awake but failed, falling into a restless sleep.

"Axel, wake up." Axel could hear someone who sounded like Demyx speaking to him. He registered someone shaking his shoulder. He didn't want to get up quite yet so he pretend to continue to sleep till they left him alone but they still continued to shake his shoulder and speak to him. Finally giving in, Axel opened his eyes to see everyone staring at him with a doctor in the background. Noticing it was the same one operating on Roxas the night, he jumped out of his chair now fully awake and ran over to the doctor.

"How's he doing doctor?" Axel spoke quietly as if he was wrong to ask the doctor of that.

"He should live. I'm not sure if he can ever walk again at least not on his left leg. The bullet torn through a lot of nerves and muscle when it went through him. You all can go visit him just keep it down because he'll still be out of it from the medicine." The doctor spoke as he turned around for them all to follow. They all followed the doctor down a maze of hallways, stopping at a door that had the number 4293 on it. Under the number was a piece of paper, with the name Roxas Hitoris on it. The doctor pushed open the door to let them in. The room was small just big enough for them all. In the room there was four cheap black chairs, and it had light blue walls and two windows along with a bed with Roxas in it with a billion and one tubes and wires hooked up to him. Beside him was a night stand on the other side was machines of all kind of sizes. They all took a seat on the chairs, but Axel being the one who decided to stand by Roxas bed side. Roxas still hadn't woken up but they all thought it was best to just let him sleep due to what all happened, they knew he need his sleep.

A hour or so later Roxas finally woke up. Axel being first to noticed went over and held his hand and knelled down so he could easily see Axel's face. "How you doing love?" Axel asked Roxas quietly as if he was talking to a three year old.

"My throat is really dry and my leg hurts a lot. But I could be worse."Roxas spoke in a hoarse voice. Sora hearing the fact Roxas was thirsty went out to find a nurse to get something for him to drink.

"You scared us all you know? What happened?"

"I'm sorry Axel, I should have known they wouldn't just let me place through to talk to........"

"You did nothing wrong, sweet Roxas. I'm sorry for letting you get hurt." Axel spoke as rivers ran down from his eyes and he bent forward to wrap Roxas in his arms and hold tight but not to tight as to hurt. Axel let the tears he'd been holding back finally be let free as he held Roxas in his arms. He'd been so worried. He felt someone tap his shoulder as he turned his head to face Sora holding out a glass of water for Roxas. Letting go against his own will Axel handed the water to Roxas who drank it all down as fast as he could.

"So Roxas, where were you going so late at night?" Sora asked. Roxas looked scared and nervous. Everyone just sat and stood there staring at the blonde as Axel bite his lip nervously.
